Welcome to Lisafergiegrace.com.

I’m Lisa, the creator of this blog along with my fur babies, Fergie and Grace. I specifically designed this blog for busy fur baby moms and dads to bring ease, enjoyment, and passion to the exciting journey of your small dog’s life.

As I explored different small dog groups, I noticed that dog moms and dads were facing challenges with puppy training, dog behavior, senior dog care, grooming, and finding the best products, food, and treats for their fur babies. With busy schedules from work, school, and family, I realized they needed simple, easy-to-follow tips and guides to make life with their small dog more fun, easy, and enjoyable. That’s when I decided to create Lisafergiegrace.com—to help both new and experienced small dog owners live their best dog-friendly lives. My goal is to provide everything you need, from dog care and training to treats, products, nutrition, DIY projects, decor, cleaning tips, and more—all in one place!

I received my first small dog, a tiny poodle puppy when I was 1 year old. My mother told me years later that when she took me to get my puppy I was beyond excited when I saw the little black ball of fur. I loved her dearly and she was my best friend. I dressed her up like a doll, pulled her around in my toys, and carried her everywhere in my arms. We spent our days and nights together, never apart, until I started school. Then, I couldn’t wait to get home to her each afternoon. Oh, how I loved that little ball of black fur! Since that time, I have had several small dogs and a few large dogs, but I always favor small dogs.

Over the years, driven by both necessity and love for dogs, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge about them. My experience spans dog training, grooming, cooking and baking treats, understanding their behavior, DIY projects for dogs, using dog-friendly cleaning products, creating a welcoming, dog-friendly home, and most recently, caring for a senior dog with special needs.

There’s nothing quite as precious as the unconditional love of a small dog. At the end of a busy, stressful day, holding that little bundle of joy in your arms makes everything better. Join me and my furry companions on this journey to make raising small dogs a breeze—full of joy, laughter, and fun!
