Can You Believe It!?!?! The Redskins beat the Cowboys in Dallas!!!!
In celebration of our AWESOME 26-24 win over Dallas, I’ve put together a short video clip of Piper, my German Shepherd and D.C.’s biggest 4-legged football fan!

Bad DOG!!!

July 31, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

For those who haven’t met her yet, this is Brit.  She and her brother are a pair of puppies that I rescued from the Tri-County Animal Shelter in Hughesville, MD.  She tries to be a good dog, and generally speaking she succeeds.  This morning, however, was not a good morning for us.
It’s my fault, really.  [...]

Holiday Weekends and Wet Dogs

May 27, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

    This past weekend was the first time in nearly a month that I took some time off.  Granted, it was only a day, but taking time for yourself is important, and it’s nice to get away from time to time. 
    I spent Saturday at my parent’s home in Virginia(literally, smack dab [...]

Work, and Reward

March 14, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

     I admit, I’m not a big fan of the cold weather (why I ever lived further north is beyond me!).  I like summer, I like warm sunny weather, and I’m ready to enjoy said climate again.  I realized this morning that we are already in the middle of March!  Now, you would think [...]

Dogs Abandoned in the Foreclosure Fallout

February 3, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

Foreclosure Dogs are becoming big news.  Man’s best friend is quickly becoming an expendable commodity to some as people are losing their homes to the credit crunch.  Regardless of what the circumstances were for the foreclosure, it’s not the pet’s fault, and now many of them are finding themselves facing euthanization.

A Theory About Dogs and Real Estate….

February 2, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

As
some of you may know, I’m a very big supporter of rescuing dogs from
shelters, and I have 3 rescues myself.  January has been a very busy
month for me (and I hope it has for you, too!), and the biggest
downside to the increased business is  the decreased time I have to
spend with my puppies.
I’m
always amazed by [...]

The Dangers of Speeding

January 16, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

    Yes, I know, zipping through Southern Maryland’s numerous back roads is lots of fun, but in all reality, it’s incredibly stupid and dangerous!  I agreed to slow it down after the "back seat incident of ‘04".  It took me nearly 3 hours to wedge him out from the cushions!

A Wandering Dog Got A BIG Surprise!

January 6, 2008 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

    I admit, my house is "secluded", the dirt road leading to the gravel driveway should be enough to give that away (I hear a "you might be a redneck" joke coming on….)!  I like the idea of country living though, which is why I’m there.  You won’t hear me complaining about noisy neighbors!

Charles County is getting a new public park!

December 30, 2007 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

    Well it’s about time!  Everyone who lives on the western side of Charles County knows that there is  a distinct lack of public parks and resources in the area.  The Pisgah, Maryland Park announcement, means that the Bryans Road/Indian Head area will be seeing lots of improvements!

    The new park has already [...]

Rescued Dogs Make Great Pets!

December 14, 2007 by Jonbenya · Leave a Comment 

It’s been a looong week….. so here’s something utterly random and fuzzy, too!  Her name is Piper, and she’s a rescued shelter rat! 
She’s a little mouthy when dinner’s due, but she’s a completely adorable, well mannered mutt!  C’mon, how can you not smile when you see a pup as cute as this! 
Not only that, [...]
