Oh, the glorious, rose-tinted dream of bringing home a tiny Morkie puppy! I pictured Georgie trotting daintily into my perfectly prepared home, sniffing her designer bed, and delicately nibbling her gourmet kibble. My reality? A tiny fluffball of chaos, utterly adorable but completely oblivious to my well-intentioned (and woefully inadequate) preparations. When Georgie arrived, I…
Let’s be real, when you’re thinking about adding a furry family member to your life, and your “backyard” is actually a tiny balcony barely big enough for a sad potted herb, the first thing that probably pops into your head isn’t, “A dog will absolutely thrive here!” I get it. I really do. Three years…
Dr. Georgie, my esteemed Morkie, has more frequent flyer miles than some humans I know. We’re talking 11 road trips across state lines and 4 full-blown flights that have taken his floofy little self from coast to coast. And let me tell you, don’t let his fluffy face fool you; Georgie’s ‘chill’ is entirely a…
When Dr. Georgie first waltzed into our lives, a tiny, fluffy cloud with a wagging tail and eyes that could melt glaciers, I thought I had a handle on things. I’d had dogs before! I knew about walks and food and cuddles. What I didn’t know was that this particular cloud came with an invisible…
Let me tell you a little something about Georgie. My sweet, adorable, fluffy Morkie, bless his cotton socks, is an absolute menace to the toy industry. I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s destroyed 47 toys in his short life. I counted. The casualties include three different brands marketed as “indestructible,” which, let me assure…
Let me tell you, if anyone knows about the trials and tribulations of feeding a tiny, opinionated canine, it’s me. My morkie, Dr. Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie, has a palate more discerning than a Michelin-star food critic, and a stomach more sensitive than a snowflake in July. Over the past five years, I’ve spent…
Oh, the dog bed saga. If I had a dollar for every dog bed I’ve purchased for my discerning little fluffball, Dr. Georgie, I could probably buy him a solid gold one. And then he’d probably ignore it and sleep on a discarded sock. My house, for a good three years, resembled a dog bed…
Let me tell you, when you share your life with a creature as opinionated and discerning as Dr. Georgie, my tiny Morkie, every purchase becomes a full-blown product review session. He’s not just a dog; he’s a certified product tester, a self-appointed Chief Medical Officer of our household, and the most adorable tyrant you’ll ever…
Leaving your morkie home alone is hard. Not just logistically — emotionally. You know that the moment the door closes, they’re probably sitting there with their sad face on, waiting. A pet camera doesn’t fix that. But it does let you check in, talk to them, and occasionally toss them a treat from across town….
Training a morkie is one of the most rewarding things you can do — and also, occasionally, one of the most humbling. These are intelligent dogs who are absolutely capable of learning. They just want to make sure training was their idea. Dr. Georgie has been through the curriculum. Here’s what works. Understanding the Morkie…
