Hey, fellow dog-obsessed humans! 🐾
I’m Jamie Ellis — the voice behind Tidy Dog Mom. I write articles with one hand while the other keeps a slobbery tennis ball off my keyboard. Multitasking? Call it paw-titasking.
Where it all began
My first best friend was Bruno, a chocolate-brown pit bull mix who joined the family before I was even born. There’s a legendary Kodak Instamatic snapshot 🎞️: chubby toddler (me) gripping Bruno’s velvety ear while he stares at the camera with the patience of a saint. The colors have faded, the corners are worn, but that grin—his and mine—still lights up a room.
Mom swears I learned to crawl by chasing Bruno’s tail across the shag carpet. Family road trips meant budgeting an extra fifteen minutes for “sniff every mailbox,” and beach days required double towels because someone (guess who) believed sand + drool = spa treatment.
Why I write
I’m not a vet or a certified trainer—just a lifelong dog nerd with a mountain of stories, DIY hacks, and product hits (and hilarious misses). Writing feels as natural to me as Bruno claiming the couch.
On Tidy Dog Mom you’ll find:
- ☕ real-life tales that read like coffee-shop chats
- 💡 budget-friendly DIY fixes that actually work
- 🛠️ brutally honest product reviews (bought it—dog chewed it—typing about it)
- 🐕 gentle training tips where patience beats drill-sergeant vibes
If you’ve ever rinsed muddy paws at 3 a.m. or discovered your missing sock in the backyard, you’re in the right pack.
Let’s trade stories! 💌
