How The Election of Trump Changed Me

February 15, 2017 A Doggy Tale

Every morning since November 8, 2016, has been the same. Like clockwork, I make coffee, then I sit down at my computer determined to finish editing my novel. Unfortunately, the endless jaw-dropping news of the day sweeps me into a spiraling tornado that is our country’s seemingly blind march toward ruin. Once I’m in the…

The Thought That Plagues Me

July 31, 2015 Stephanie

From the first moments I held our Quinley in my arms, my thoughts would occasionally go to that dark place. Her tiny body was small enough I could make coffee while holding her with one hand as her sweet puppy scent wafted up creating a new happiness I will always know in my heart. These…

Dealing With Disappointing People

July 27, 2015 Stephanie

I hate disappointing people. It’s one of the worst feelings. Like many of you, women in particular, I give up much of myself for the benefit of others. I think we’re just programmed this way. I know many of you moms out there would give up everything for your child. Although I don’t have kids,…

We featured this tutorial on Fab You Bliss a few years ago and it was a huge hit. So much so we had several dog magazines contact us to feature the it in their publications as well. Pretty nice, huh? Given A Doggy Tale is all about doggies, (and our love for them), we thought…

The Lucky Dogs of Brilliant Artist Miranda Lake

June 30, 2014 Stephanie

The other day we posted a feature on our sister site Fab You Bliss which incorporated a couple’s dog as the flower girl in their wedding. It was really cute! And on social media I mentioned the combination was a blend of my two biggest loves: dogs and weddings. Well I lied. While I do…

Adventures of Quinley: Day Trip To Carpinteria

June 27, 2014 A Doggy Tale

Hi there friends…Quinley here. I decided to take over the blog today to give my mommy a break. She needs it. I watch her sometimes when she doesn’t see me and the little wrinkles between her eyebrows stay way too long for my liking. My humans need to take some relaxation tips from me. In…

No Need To Worry Ice Will Not Kill Your Dog

June 25, 2014 Stephanie

The other day I saw an article go viral on Facebook. In the span of a few hours, friend after friend after friend passed it along with worried warnings to all dog owners. The title of the article read “No Ice Water For Dogs…Please Read ASAP“. So of course I read it. Then I promptly…

Spotlight On: Amanda Seyfried and Her Dog Finn

June 20, 2014 A Doggy Tale

I’m not a big celebrity watcher. Maybe it’s because I live in Southern California and they are everywhere in these parts. Or maybe it’s because I know they’re just regular people, only with a few more opportunities than the rest of us. But what I am a fan of is seeing celebrities who love their…
