Hey y'all! I know I've largely been absent here for a good bit! But I'm now over on BlueSky, too, so if you're over there, too, I'd appreciate it if you followed along. Enjoy: https://bsky.app/profile/bigwagschicago.bsky.social

My boys are being unusually close.

A glimpse into your friendly neighborhood #pet pro's life. I'm #moving, so my life is slowly being put into boxes. Back to #dog content soon, I promise.

Hey folx!

I know I've been a bit MIA from this platform recently. Sorry about that. Lots of big life things happening.

That said, I wanted to remind y'all that I've got a dog-centric #Discord server and I'd love it if you all checked it out. It's a great place where we share #dog pics, talk about all things #dog and even get into #DogTraining and #DogBehavior a bit.

Here's a link to the server: https://discord.gg/yQeKTGxy7u. Definitely stop by and say hi!

Want your #dog to look as happy as Shadow does after an afternoon walk? Good news!

I have a couple spots in my schedule for new walking clients in Albany Park/Ravenswood Manor. If you're interested, email walks@bigwagschicago.com!

It's hot. Chester needs to cool off his #belly. He's a little self-conscious. His belly fuzz hasn't completely come back after his last #ultrasound.

Rosie gave me quite a workout on her #walk yesterday. But at least she was tired afterward.

New Hound Opinions is live, folx!

This time, I talk about why doing nothing is an important skill for dogs. And I open up a bit about one of the tough realities of this business - people and their dogs moving.

More from the #BarkMitzvah festivities. #SeniorDogsRule #SeniorDog

My #pup Chester turned 13 yesterday and so we took him to his favorite indoor #dog park to celebrate his #BarkMitzvah. #DogsOfMastodon #DogAgility #SeniorDog #SeniorDogsRule

Well, if there was any remaining doubt that the "supreme" court is nothing but a #joke, this should eliminate it: https://tinyurl.com/JackDanielsSuit
Now, as silly as this sounds, it's actually got some serious implications in terms of determining what counts as parody. But given the makeup of the #court, I've got a sinking suspicion about how they'll rule.
