Right after adopting Sox, we took him to the petstore to pick up a tag, collar and few toys. While strolling the aisles, I picked up a few toys made for smallish dogs. Balls, stuffed toys and a double sided squeaker monkey from Petstages. For the next few weeks, the balls and stuffed toys were […]

Fetchapolza…it’s a lot like Throwapolza only it takes place outside!

I thought I’d share some shots with you to get your 4th of July started! This entry will be more photos than text because…well what is there to say about Sox’s obsession with fetch that I just can’t show you. Enjoy!
