James has a Poodle friend in Georgetown named Faris. They love to meet up and play or just walk together around DC. We met Faris years ago while walking James before bed one night. Now we schedule regular Poodle playdates for these boys! Wh…

James was a therapy dog at a private school in Washington, DC and we both really enjoyed our time there. The school was going to be getting a resident therapy dog so James had his final visit and goodbye with the students. James also got so…

A late spring snowstorm arrived! We love walking James in the snow! He doesn't mind wearing his dog winter coat and dog boots, too. The next morning, I noticed our community water bowl that I leave out for the dogs of Georgetown was frozen …

I enjoy getting up really early to walk around the National Mall in Washington, DC. The crowds are smaller and it is usually nice and quiet. It was a little bit cool and overcast, though. I would have…

The cherry blossoms in the East Village of Georgetown are in full bloom! I walked over to one of my favorite parks, Rose Park, and brought James along as my model. On our way home, we walked past the neighbor with multiple Ferraris that he …

The spring flowers in Georgetown always make me smile! They are everywhere! Tree boxes near the street have flowers, front yards have flowers and window boxes have flowers. I call these "Poodle Tails"…

The daffodils are popping up all over and spring is here! James sometimes wears fun costumes for his therapy dog work. For St. Patrick's Day James has a funky green hat we found in New Orleans years a…

Look at how goofy Poodle James relaxes! The couch is so much softer than the ottoman AND the couch has a pillow! But silly James likes to do things differently! I thought these were cute photos of Chris and James. James is sporting his luck…

I love keeping lip balm everywhere - in my purse, in my bedside table drawer, in the drawer next to my side of the couch, in the bathroom, in my travel carry on bag, etc. And my all time favorite lip …

James loves dehydrated meat treats and it is so easy to make dehydrated chicken dog treats. In this video, Chris shows you how we make these easy dog treats! https://youtu.be/Oow5Az4pREE

We recently went out of town in our RV and we forgot to bring James' dog bed. We stopped in a PetSmart and picked up a Top Paw Orthopedic Cuddler bed . It is now J's favorite bed! We ended up retiring…

When we first moved to DC, I made it a priority to go see the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin when they bloomed. And pretty much every year after, we still head down to the Tidal Basin to see the blooms. Luckily we have lots of cherry bl…

The Tidal Basin is the most well known area of DC for visiting the cherry blossoms, but I like to visit cherry blossom areas that aren't as popular (or as crowded!). In our neighborhood in Georgetown, we have a few local parks with a few be…

I found a few adorable clips of James the Poodle and I wanted to share them with you! https://youtu.be/xOllN6bkhHo
