2021 has officially come to an end! This means it’s time to make some New Year’s Resolutions. Now, in general, attempting to better yourself is not super fun. Sure, the outcome is usually worth the effort. When you are in trenches, however, it can be changeling, to say the least.

That being said, I am a firm believer that dogs make everything. So with this mindset, I believe that making the same New Year’s resolutions for you and your dog will make the experience more enjoyable.

How To Keep Your Dog Warm This Winter

Winter is just around the corner! While the season can be fun when you are sitting by a fire and sipping some hot chocolate, it can be a little ruff. This is especially true when you have to take your pup outside for a walk.

As a pup parent, I am always concerned about my dog’s well-being. I’m also from Southern California, where it rarely drops below 60 degrees, so I didn’t know what to do when I moved to a colder climate, and it started snowing. Unfortunately, my dog, who is also a proud California girl, understandably did not want to go outside until I figured out how to keep her nice and warm.

Here are some tips I have figured out through trial and error that can be helpful to pup parents during the winter season.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, meaning that it’s time to prepare for what is arguably the most delicious day of the year. Now, if you are anything like me, you may have the habit of sharing your food with your dog.

These Pixar-Loving Dogs Won Halloween

The first Pixar movie, “Toy Story,” premiered in 1995. Over the past 26 years, the animation company had delighted audiences with over 20 films, including “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “Up,” and most recently “Luca.” While the movies are geared towards children, I am well into my 20s and I adore Pixar movies. And obviously, as a massive dog lover by favorite Pixar character is Dug from the most poignant movie ever, “Up.” (Seriously, if you don’t tear up while watching that film, I don’t trust you).

In my opinion, dogs are a lot like Pixar movies. They’re sweet, wholesome, and just make you feel really good. For this reason, I think it’s only appropriate to dress your dog up as a Pixar character at some point in their life. Here are some furry friends who have already done so to serve as inspiration.
