Because the parameters for animal body shape are different than humans, here are a list of signs that yo...Read More
How can a person being blind love dogs so very much like Helen did? Dogs are such angelical creatures. Sometimes our dogs don’t act like angels but they are always very happy to see us.

In my opinion, choosing a good groomer for your dog is akin to choosing your hairstylist, your roommate, or your daycare provider. Yes, I think it’s that important. Why? This person is solely responsible for your dog, your furry child, for hours on end when you are not in sight… routinely.

Giving pets human food is almost never a good idea, and can often be outright hazardous. Even though we eat many of the same meats that are found in pet foods, the way we prepare our food and the way they are suited to eating are worlds apart. A particularly dangerous example is turkey, and unfortunately, next week will see quite a lot of Thanks...Read More

All of us get excited when we adopt a new puppy & bring it home. However, most of us forget about a few things we should purchase before bringing in our new family member.

Animals just like humans experience pain, grief, and joy. I remember grandma’s german shepherd grieving after she died. So much so that he died on the very next day after she passed away.

Just like babies dogs require some training. The first thing I tried teaching my dog is being friendly. Even the nicest dog could be unpropitious at times & pay little or no attention to guests’ amiable intentions. In the beginning I always praised my dog & gave him a treat when he didn’t bark at our visitors. It took some time but e...Read More
Well, not sure if anyone out there has a chair set aside for your dog or perhaps your dog picks the chair he likes in the living room & doesn’t allow anyone to seat on it. My dog seats on his chair like if he was royalty. He is an Italian greyhound & no matter how much I feed him he always looks so skinny. So, there he is, sitting on his t...Read More
