This sounds so cool! Would be very fun if you could throw up a little microblog to document your daily experiences, or even a thread on here!

Thanks for your kind words, Berna. Are there any supplements you recommend? The vet was quite impressed with his joints at the last physical ("Joints like a two year old!") but I know that's the kind...
Carpet runners--thanks for the great idea! Less worrying about slippage than yoga mats, I'd think.
Thanks everyone for your good thoughts. Last night was a rough one—Ben couldn’t sleep too well and woke up every hour or so whining. Snowshoe, we’re definitely going to clip his nails and put down...
LOL--I was really wondering about this! Thanks for the clarification, and good boy Oban!
Hi everyone -- it's been a while! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I've been back from college for about a month and I'm headed back next week after a wonderful winter hanging out with Benji and...
Just checked for dehydration and he seems to be well-hydrated. He's a pretty good drinker, so I don't know if that's it. Vet did listen to his heart, but didn't find anything abnormal; I'll make sure...
Hi everyone, hope you're doing well! I recently took Benji for his annual exam and our vet was super pleased with the physical portion of it. Weight, joints, eyes/teeth, etc. However, when we ran a...
Honestly, I’d just scour garage sales for a rocking chair or loveseat. We picked a rocking chair up for ~$20 and it’s Ben’s chair now—but the platform idea is great! I’m just not handy at all haha.
Thanks for the great ideas everyone!!!
For the Kong wobbler, does anyone know if Fromm kibble will fit through the hole?
Love that mat idea! And I've been looking for a good (indestructible!) kibble ball dispenser. Anyone have recommendations? I might honestly bite the bullet and buy some dog booties since it does seem...
Benji’s cold tolerance has definitely decreased with age—we're about two weeks away from his 10th bday so luckily he doesn’t need the walks the way he used to. We’ve been hit with a bitterly cold...
It’s too cold for walks! I tried a game of snow fetch in the backyard and Ben was ready to come inside after a few tosses. We played fetch/cuddle/wrestle inside until he was pooped and ended playtime...
This brought tears to my eyes--your love is so clear in the words you write. Sending prayers to you and your family.
yep! I think we are a bit further north than you guys but Illinois has been unusually mild the past couple years—I kind of miss the big snowfalls!
We are a one dog household due to time constraints and Benji not being fond of other dogs in “his” house. But he adores playing with the little Puggle that worships him at his dog sitter, and he...
So there is a nice bike path around the beach that is dog friendly, and when we were coming around the sandy stretch we saw 4 dogs on the beach; not seeing a sign to the contrary, we figured this...
Thanks, all!
We went to North Beach in Racine, WI! He did seem to be getting his "sea legs" (lake legs?) as the day went on; we're heading down to a state park in IL tomorrow that has a beach,...
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll have to pay it a visit!
We took Ben up to Wisconsin to get some beach time before fall sets in, and he had a blast! Despite loving our local ponds, he was a little hesitant at first with the big waves--he barked. A lot. An...
I was wondering why everyone seemed to have May 2014 as their join date--that would explain it. POPTOP, I think I may still have a Christmas card from you from an old card exchange on my desk! Hope...
Hi, everyone! I used to post on these boards a few years back under mom_of_benji, but I couldn't seem to recover my account so here we are. I have a nine year old lab, Benji, that I adopted as an...
