Celebrating Cady's Gotcha Day

May 13, 2017 by Gregory Jevyak in Dogs, Drama Series, English Setter, Labrador Retriever, adopted, Longmire

On May 14th 2016, I drove down to the humane society facility to see a female black lab mix and two other dogs. This is how I brought her home and renamed her Cady.

Rest In Peace - Tess

January 29, 2017 by Gregory Jevyak in Dogs, Labrador Retriever

Tess passed away early Sunday, January 29, 2017. She was 15 years, 2 months old. She had aged into a graceful, gray-faced, sweetheart. My companion and happy girl till the end. I’m glad I could comfort and hold her as she passed.

I'm guessing I've been accepted as her human

I adopted Cady almost 3 months ago. She is a mix of Labrador Retriever and English Setter (by DNA test) is 6 years old and weights in at 51 pounds. She is a sweetie and full of energy.

IN MEMORIAM - Abbey

Today was the second toughest day of my lifetime. Heaven received a 4-footed angel this morning. I had to let my sweet Labrador girl Abbey go today. Her roommate Tess was by her side at the vet’s office as I held her.

My sweet black Labrador Retriever, Tess, turned 13 today. She is my goofy girl. Always quick with a kiss, wags her tail if you just whisper her name or look at her and the biggest sweetheart on 4 legs.

Abbey Turns 14!

My sweet yellow Labrador Retriever named Abbey has turned 14 this month. She is also known as "girlfriend" as she is my couch snuggler and gives me the gentlest little kisses each night before bedtime.

Crates, Kennels and Using Them for Your Dog

September 22, 2014 by Gregory Jevyak in Dog Safety, Dog Training, Dog Treats, Dogs, Labrador Retriever, Household

I find it interesting when people react in a negative manner at the idea of using a crate or kennel as a place for their dog to stay when you are not home (for the appropriate amount of time). I also find it interesting when people tell me the story of how their dog destroyed or continues to destroy their furniture, shoes, clothes and all sorts of other valuables when left alone. They always manage to laugh about it, but really folks, is it funny to have things destroyed and your dog possibly injured because you won’t take the time to train and use a crate for your dog?

Fresh, Healthy Veggies that Fido Will Love

Vegetables are great for dogs. Because of their low calorie content, veggies make a delicious treat that won’t add bulk to your baby’s body. And, they can provide your dog with some of the essential nutrients he needs, reducing the need for vitamin supplements. Like in humans, the rich vitamins and minerals from numerous vegetable sources can offer countless alimentary benefits to dogs as well.
