Dog Blog
Dear Mona, I should be a happy little pup but I believe I am letting my insecurities get the best of me. I am an 8 month old Yorkshire Terrier and lately, I’ve been acting out. I admit this because I think my mom is planning an intervention so I guess this is getting serious. What can I do to prove to my family that I am really a cute little lovebug and not a tough cookie? Low five,Hazel
Mona's Dog Blog: Want to Go Outside?
Written by
Dear Mona, Hi! I am a 9 week old West Highland Terrier. I am super fun and have tons of energy. I like to jump, bite, smile, bark, jump, jump, play, sleep and jump some more! Over the last few days, my mom has taken me outside for a few minutes. What is OUTSIDE? Is that going to be a magical word? What am I supposed to do out there? Huh? #beforeoutsideisamagicalword Jump and kisses,Charmin
Mona's Dog Blog: Kong Alternatives
Written by
Dear Mona, I love my Kong toy, and my mom thinks she's the coolest gal on the block every time she stuffs it with peanut butter and puts it in the freezer. I don't have the heart to tell her that everyone's mom does that and the PB recipe is so played out. Seriously, I'm sick of sticky mouth. I'm hoping your readers can pass along some new Kong creations for my mom. #peanutbutterjellytime Wags and Licks, Mack Dear Mack,…
Mona's Dog Blog: Ronda's Waiting for Spring
Written by
Dear Mona, This is my first winter in NY. I’m not sure about this cold white stuff! And how the heck are you supposed to chase squirrels on ice? Oh and I can’t believe these hair snowballs. HAIR SNOWBALLS? My family moved here last summer from Florida and I feel so unprepared and hopeless. Why does it stay so cold for so long up here? Will this weather ever end? #forgotwhatgrasssmellslike Save a sister, Ronda
Dog Blog: New Puppy Problems
Written by
Dear Mona, Our names are Tanner (mastiff lab mix age 12) and Cooper (beagle age 9) and we are having trouble with a new puppy mom and dad brought home. Her name is Tansy (husky mix age 4 months) She barks in our faces and tugs on our ears and pulls our tails. We are getting older and enjoy some quiet time but she does not allow us that. We don't know what to do to make her stop. Can…
Mona's Dog Blog: Too Tall Stella
Written by
Dear Mona, For some reason my mom doesn't like it when I try to see what's happening on the counters. She calls it counter-surfing and doesn't like it for some reason. I'm a big dog and I can put my front paws up there easily - I just want to be part of the action and help her cook. How can I convince my mommy that it's OK? #parentsjustdon'tunderstand. Thanks, Stella
Mona's Dog Blog: No Longer An Only Child

Dear Mona, I am desperate and I hope you can help me. I am absolutely devastated because my mom told me I was getting a new dog sister. How can this be? She must know that she and I are best friends and this will ruin my life. Mona, what do I do? #ruinedlifeofagolden Ugh, Bernadette
Dog Blog: Cuddles and Condolences
Written by
Dear Mona, I am the luckiest dog. My brother, Uncas, was the best dog that ever lived. I couldn't have asked for a better friend. He had hair like Elvis and a bark like Lassie. I’m sad to say that he went to heaven last month. Our whole family misses him terribly and we’ve been moping around. What can I do to help my family smile a little more? #uncaswasthebestdog Sigh, Sunny

Dog Blog: Vegas Loves To Play
Written by
Hi Mona, My name’s Vegas and I’m a very friendly American Bulldog/Pitbull mix. My dad says I think I’m a lap dog, but I just love everybody! Anyway, I love chew toys and bones and rawhide and all sorts of good stuff I can really sink my teeth into. What’s your favorite toy? Can you suggest some dog toys that might hold up a little better for larger dogs? Or should my dad just stick to bones and pig ears?…
The Dog Blog: Bed-Hog-Dog

Dear Mona, I’m Casey, a pit/beagle mix, and the BEST DOG in the world! (Or so my mommy tells me EVERYDAY!) My life is pretty much perfect — I get the run of the house, I play nicely with the cats and I get to go for rides whenever I give mommy the “You’re not going to leave me home AGAIN are you?” look (it works every time)! But I do have a problem, and my problem is this: for…
Dog Blog: Skye Circles

Dear Mona, I’m a super smart border collie mix but sometimes I make my parents wonder. When I go to sit down, I have to walk in a circle three times first. Is this normal behavior? #sodizzycantsitwithoutfallingdown Ruff, Skye
Showing Off For Attention: One Dog's Dilemma
Written by
Dear Mona, I am really into this one dog, Hannah. She is the most gorgeous Springer Spaniel on the planet. Every time I see her at the dog park, I get nervous, steal her toys and then ignore her. I don’t know why I act so weird around her; I am a confident three year old golden retriever with some serious swagger. I think Hannah’s the one, what do I do? #taildraggingsolowWHY?! Bark,Flamingo Dear Flamingo, That is the coolest name…
