DOG OF THE WEEK

Gio is like a little meatball, but since he has come for a weight loss program at JPM, he is looking less like a meatball everyday. During his stay so far,  I have seen Gio make some huge strides: from not being able to jump on a bench last week---Gio can now jump on...

Maxwell looks like a cartoon fox with his large triangular tufted ears, exaggerated deep black eyes, and devilishly evocative grin, and in all honesty, my favorite. When he runs, he is a site to behold for Maxwell doesn't run, he lopes like a wild animal, carrying his...

Resistance is futile. Dolce will kiss you, and sit on you, and all attempts to avoid her will be met with more kisses, swiftly and furiously. Although she may be big and muscular, (I sometimes lovingly refer to her as Arnold Schwarzenegger in a dog suit), she is the...

Cooper must be seen to be believed. He's so tall, he can practically look me in the eye. It's amazing! This boy towers over everyone, but somehow thinks he is one of the little dogs. The term "gentle giant" seems like it was created just for him. His favorite playmate...

The Just Pet Me girls post pictures of Rudy all over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so watch out! He might go viral and become the next You Tube superstar! I think all the money Rudy would make from his acting career would probably go towards buying food, and...

Ever see the movie ‘Escape From Alcatraz?’ Clint Eastwood’s character pretty much sums up a day with our friend August, although his movie is more like ‘Escape to the Puppy Room!’ All day August hatches up clever plans to join his puppy crew, Bailey, Jessie, Gunther,...

Dexter is not much like his cartoon counterpart. While the animated nerd is obnoxious and overly confident about  his endeavors, Dexter the dog takes a more modest approach. Only two things make Dexter act like a hyper cartoon character, his best friend Cabo and...
