There are some movies that really put a lot of dust in the air and
Marley & Me is definitely one of them. It's one of those movies that I can personally relate to with my little doggy, Oreo. Both he and I have gone through some happy and sad times together and the movie definitely touches on a lot of those experiences we had. More after the jump...
What snorts like a boar, smells like bacon, and shits like a pig?
My little dog Oreo! When he had the bandage wrapped around his head (from the ear surgery) he was providing an interesting medley of night time acoustics. Turns out Oreo has a heart murmur causing pressure on his trachea. Hence the snore-fest. So twice a day he gets to feast on an assortment of feel good pills to help with the murmur. Which I just fed him along with his weekly Pellitol oitment in his non-surgery ear. The Pellitol smells like bacon which usually keeps him busy as he tries to get a lick of it.

Oreo has had a nasty little cough the past week or so. As suggested by Dr. Terinin, I should use a harness rather than a collar in order to ease up on his delicate trachea. I've been trying to find the right one for Oreo and as a result I have several harnesses waiting to be returned. Fortunately I think I've found the perfect harness:
Premier's Easy Walk Harness. Thoughts after the jump...
I've always been in self denial that Oreo is a senior dog. Every time I'm at Petco, I'm always indecisive whether to switch him to
Wellness Just For Seniors or stick with the
purple bag mix. I'm not implying he isn't old — he's an 11 year old cocker spaniel, the beginning of his senior years. Today I received some sad news that further confirms Oreo's senior citizenship. He has a heart murmur, a common heart problem for older dogs. Pics and story after the jump...
The holiday season is right around the corner and I'm starting to compile my list of gifts for the loved ones in my life. Flipping through the recent edition of Dog Fancy, I saw some really cool gifts for my little Oreo. More after the jump...
I've read some less than stellar reviews for
Sayrebrook Veterinary Hospital, and to the countrary they get my thumbs up approval. The type of quality care from Dr. Terrinin and her staff has been just what Oreo needs to help him get back into good health. More after the jump...

Comfy Cone from All Four Paws. More after the jump...
Can you believe that my little furball is 11 years old? You wouldn't guess it when you look at him, with his active personality and and big doggy eyes. I guess his gray beard isn't a dead giveaway and it looks so silly on him. More after the jump...
