Dogs


We recently took Coco to Rosie’s Dog Beach in Long Beach for the second time, and she absolutely loved it! Seeing her run through the sand and splash in the waves reminded us how important it is to find the perfect beach for your furry friend. If you’re planning a trip with your pup in Southern California, this post is for you. I’m sharing all of the best dog beaches in Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County.

Say hi to Coco! She is the newest member of our family! I’ve been thinking about adopting a rescue dog for a while now, so I thought I would share my experience with you. Although puppies are great – they are adorable and it’s so much fun to watch them grow – I felt certain I wanted to rescue a dog rather than get a puppy from a breeder. The thing is, there are so many dogs in the world that need good homes, so it felt selfish to me not to adopt a dog that needed a home.

Today is National Kids and Pets Day – yes, that’s a thing! To be honest with you, I wasn’t sure I was going to get my kids a dog. I grew up with a dog and we had a dog before we had kids (Leon passed away from old age when my kids were babies). But over the last 6 months, the kids have been nonstop asking for a dog. I finally caved in after I found Coco from a local rescue. She was exactly what I was looking for, and getting her is the best decision I’ve made. My kids love her so much, and she has become such an important part of our lives. If you haven’t gotten a pet for your child yet, here are 5 reasons why every child should have a pet.

October is Pet Wellness Month! For all the pet parents out there, I am doing a segment on KTLA to share some of the brand-new essentials from the Amazon-exclusive pet brand, Lesure. All of these products are intended to help pet parents create a safe and cozy space for their fur baby to rest, as an essential anti-anxiety step, including a popular calming dog bed and cat products too.

If you’re a proud dog mom, you know just how deep the bond with your fur baby runs. And finally, there’s a special day just for you: National Dog Mom Day! Whether you’re shopping for the perfect gifts, planning a celebration, or just looking for cute ways to honor your pup-parenting lifestyle, this guide has you covered.
