This never ending winter must be stopped. Eko and I figured we were up for the job. Here’s how we’re doing our part to tell Mother Nature we’re ready for spring. Oh well, we tried!

Life In A Snow Globe
Ever wonder what life would be like inside a snow globe? Me neither, but Mother Nature decided to show us anyway. A swirling snow descended on Chicago yesterday, so our afternoon walk became an afternoon arctic expedition. After just a few minutes outside Eko and I were both blanketed in snow The snow caused a …
Winter Weekend White Out
We had a blustery, snowy Saturday here in Chicago and you could barely see a few feet in front of your face at times. In other words, it was perfect beach weather. Except the beach disappeared. In its place we found a frozen tundra Eko and his pal Riley were undeterred and bounded after each …
Cabin Fever
I’m a bit late posting today because I had to break out of my own apartment. Not break into, mind you. Break OUT of. My front door was frozen stuck! Sending out an S.O.S. Eko was quite confused as to why I was wielding a blow dryer and a screw driver in battle against our …
Today Has Been Canceled

[VIDEO] Teaching Eko To (Re)Love His Boots
Eko’s boots are great for winter time romps, but apparently Eko forgot that fact over the summer. This week we used a little bribery positive reinforcement to help him remember that the boots aren’t shackles, they’re winter wings: Have a great weekend!
Puss In Boots: Volume Two
Last year I learned how hard a city winter can be on a pup’s paws. Between frigid temperatures, unforgiving pavement and minefields of rock salt, there are a lot of ways for a dog’s paws to get injured. I invested in a pair of dog boots that Eko initially hated but he eventually came to …
My Winter Jacket Recommendation For Active Dogs
If Canadians know about one thing, it’s poutine. If Canadians know about a second thing, it’s cold weather. So when Eko and I found ourselves freezing our butts off in Montreal two years ago, I knew we were in the right place to find him a good jacket. I explained what I need to an older …
