VIDEO: Playing Keep Away with your dog

How does your dog greet you when you come home?

Sometimes, Lulu walks up with the nearest toy she can grab. Sometimes she gives it to me. Sometimes she immediately plays Tug of War. Sometimes she plays Keep Away.

Dog parents: Stop shaming people about dog food!

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am not being compensated for this post by Nutro or Merrick, though I have received food or compensation from both in the past.

I got into an argument in a beagle Facebook group.

It was over an article by Reviews.com that claimed only 25 dog food brands were "safe." I disagreed with some of the article's assertions, including regarding certain ingredients and some of their methodologies.

I was basically told (passive-aggressively) that I was knowingly putting my dogs in danger by feeding them "unsafe" dog food.

People, I'm done. I'm over it.

Eat Your Vegetables! 6 veggies your dogs can eat

And most are really good for them.They're great as treats, and if you need to get your pet to slim down they are great to use as a low calorie replacement if you have to reduce their food.

So in honor of National Eat Your Vegetables Day (which is June 17), here is some food for thought for dog owners every where.

Serta pet beds: Your dogs may not want to share REVIEW *SPONSORED*

Branded Pet Beds is a proud sponsor of Life With Beagle and Lulu's Favorite Things, our annual fundraising campaign for Harbor House of Central Florida. Although we received compensation for the post, my opinions are my own -- and so are Lulu's. 

I am lying on a dog bed.

That's because while I have this wonderful Serta Quilted Pillow Top dog bed from Branded Pet Beds, my dogs don't seem to want to share it.

Beaglefest took place in Huntington Beach Central Park in California in May. It's an amazing event and lets face it, who wouldn't want to see dozens of beagles playing together.

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Breakfast time

We bloggers are often looking for special moments to share with our readers. But sometimes we may confound and darn right frustrate our pets. 

Take today. All I was doing was giving Lulu breakfast. But I was a little late doing it this morning, which meant Lulu was impatient. She howled at me. But rather than hurry up with the food, I grabbed my phone, hoping to recreate that moment. Here's what happened:
