Wednesdays with Winnie: Beauty Day

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." - Coco Chanel

Today was haircut day for Winnie. She really needed it, she looked like a bear! Now she looks beautiful and fresh. I tried to take a picture at the Vet/Grooming place but she just wanted to run to the car. She loves rides. These are pictures that I took at home.

At the Vet., I saw two precious doggies. This is "Lola".

And this is "Mateo". Both dogs live at the same home and they love each other.

Does your dog like to go with the groomers?

Wednesdays with Winnie: It looks like a summer day!

In days like this, when the weather is so hot, Winnie loves a good nap in the shadow with a fan near her body. It seems that the summer is not over! But It is a perfect day for a refreshing bath outside.

1.) Exercise your dog early in the morning or late at night.2.) Use doggie boots.3.) Watch for signs of dehydration.

Wednesdays with Winnie: Playing with the Clutter

Some months ago I was organizing my home office and trashing the clutter. For Winnie was like a game. I was throwing her paper balls and she was better than a major league center fielder! We still play that game. Then she starts opening the paper ball with her paws and mouth and she breaks it in pieces. She doesn't need expensive toys! Only me and the paper to play. If we humans could always enjoy the simple things as much as our dogs… that's what we try every day.

Then she just lays down on top of the papers and stays there for a long time to take a nap. That's what my dog Camila used to do too. The pictures below are from Camila.

Does your dog like to play with paper balls? What other game you enjoy together that is not a toy from the pet store? Leave a comment! We would love to hear about it.

Wednesdays with Winnie: Winnie and the Cat

Winnie knows that every day she will go on a quest to chase cats. She gets excited because she knows all felines will run away. She loves that. Of course she is on a leash or… who knows what could happen!

I love this picture because you can feel some conversation is going on, and just a second after I shoot the photo, the cat was jumping and escaping from Winnie.

She loves to go to the “cat street”, a street behind my house where 4 or 5 cats always lay down under the sun. For Winnie is an experience, like going to the zoo and see all those animals from other species.

But some cats and dogs are good friends, look at this video!

Do you have a cat too? Does your dog get along well with his feline friends? Leave a comment and tell us about it.
