I equate this to living in one room of my house for all of my l
The loss of 80 more lives can be chalked up to Pennsylvania’s antiquated Dog Law and the people who continue to hold up the passage of new legislation as well as the two men who actually pulled the trigger and shot and killed the doomed puppy mill dogs.

Characteristics Of Dog Ken
So glad to hear this...
LAKE OSWEGO -- Callie came home. The real one. Not that she'll confirm her identity. She'll only bark.
Ken Griggs, of Lake Oswego, was reunited with the family dog this afternoon, more than two weeks after he claimed the Tail Wag-Inn boarding kennel in Dundee returned the wrong female black Labrador. "I'm happy and relieved and just want things to get back to normal,"
Apparently the love for our little friends knows no limits. As the dogs bring a smile in our life, no matter how hard it is, we are doing our best to improve the quality of their life, as well. Therefore I saw that now a new thing appeared, that is quite practical: portable dog kennels. The dog can enjoy the fresh air outside, or simply accompany you in a holiday while your lawn (if at home) doesn
We recently got a German Short Hair that was 6 weeks old. Oh, the joy of a puppy. My wife bought this at walmart as a temporary solution, but didn’t realize how temporary it was. By day two the kennel was tearing apart and the puppy, named Coco had escaped twice, because [...]
I did end up taking the Guppy to the doctor yesterday and she does have croup. We didn't see our normal pediatrician, we saw another doctor, who was so kind enough to examine my daughter for a full three minutes before darting back out to rejoin the birthday party that was going on. @@Anyways, as she was walking out the door she told me that the Guppy will be fine, call them again if she developes a fever. I took the girls home and took out my trusty book, my best friend, the book that every parent should own: Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child. Are you a parent? Yes? Then go get it.Anyways the symptons for croup outlined in the book pretty much match the symptons that the Guppy has perfectly so I'm convinced. The book gave some homeopathic remedies and some suggestions of teas she can d
There is great controversy about dog kennel training. Many believe that cages, kennels and crates are today's answer to quick convenient punishment. Although not as much controversy as there is about dog collars that choke a dog and give them electric shocks. Many dogs find comfort in their own place and some find quite strange places to call their own- the washing basket, the tumble drier, the bottom drawer…..When dog kennel training you must ensure that you don't put your dog in there when he has been bad as tempting as it may be. Also dogs can not be in the kennel for more than four hours due to the fact that they will need to stretch and need to the toilet. Many dogs start to feel uncomfortable after four hours and then they begin to get anxious. Sometimes the kennel is not the godsend some think it is. A lot of people are not using kennels properly and therefore end up with more problems then they had started with.You firstly need to identify the problem that you're using do
Today we heard dire warnings on the radio about a threatened flu epidemic this winter. They were even talking about the fact that so many humans might be ill that they would not be able to keep the shops stocked up. So we are all taking our nutritional supplements and I hope Mum will buy extra food for me before it happens!
Article Title: Leaving A Dog At The KennelAuthor: David BeartThere may be times when a pet owner must travel, and they haveto place a pet dog in a kennel. The pet owner wants to be surethat the dog is in a safe, healthy, and secure environment. Whenchoosing a kennel, the owner should contact several dog kennelsin advance. A quality dog kennel should be open to visitors andaccountable to a licensing authority. Dog kennels should bewell-maintained, disease free, and have space for the animals toexercise during their stay at the facility. If a dog kennel doesnot accept unannounced visitors, pet owners should not patronizethe facility. In addition, the owner should report the kennel tolocal authorities or the American Boarding Kennel Association.Concerned-citizen reports can result in a facility audit and, ifnecessary, citations that will force the facility to improve itsservices. High-quality dog kennels will provide services similar to ahotel. The pet owner/potential cu
Mum keeps building flat pack furniture at Nan's house and this has been a dangerous experience for me! I like to keep an eye on the work, so I find a nice little cosy corner where I can snooze and watch at the same time. A couple of times I have snuggled up too close to the half-built furniture, but this week things went too far. Mum put a new chest in the spot where I sleep so that I can be
In case you were wondering, Mitt Romney and his amazing stick-the-dog-on-the-roof-because-he-loves-the-fresh-air trick did not drive me away from the ol' blog. I was on vacation. Well, I took a trip with my family to see more family, and then even...
I have signed up for a new photo sharing account at the Dogs Trust site, Doggy Snaps. This is a very nice site a bit like Dogster, but with a purpose. Mum and Dad have both supported Dogs Trust for many years because it is pledged 'never to put a healthy dog down'. This is not the case with all animal charities so they really like this one. Have
ACLU lawyer Bernard Fulton today announced a lawsuit against the American Kennel Society on behalf of Afghan Hounds for being ranked lowest on the dog intelligence scale.
"We feel these tests are invalid as many of the questions are clearly biased towards German Shepherds and other European breeds. Afghan Hounds have been systematically discriminated against because of these tests and we feel our clients deserve redress."
When asked about the suit, Prince, president of the Afghan Hound Justice Coalition for Justice, commented, "This is wrong. Besides were much smarter than Bassett Hounds. Those are some dumb dogs, let me tell ya. Once..." before being cut off from Mr. Fulton.
Michael Vick is the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons… and also maybe, possibly, and allegedly a dogfight breeder. Have I covered myself enough there, or should I add a few more words for maybe. *Goes off to find thesaurus*.
Anyway, when someone is in the news for a possible crime like this, then you can always rely on YouTube to provide a song about it, and so here courtesy of BradyFan83/Harry Chapin/Ugly Kid Joe is Dog’s In The Kennel…

I have 1 cat - ONE! But for some reason the neighborhood cats have adopted me as their master. There is one in particular that has been hanging around since the day I moved in. His name is Buddha but because we didn't know that at first, my son called him mittens. Mittens regularly sleeps on my stairs and does his little "feed me" meow every once in a while. I won't fall prey to his adorablenss though - nope - I pet him and walk in the house. Well today my son opened the door to get something off the stairs and in walks Mittens like he owned the place. Following him was Frosty, the other neighbor cat that we called "pretty kitty" because well... he is pretty. So, Frosty sees us and darts upstairs. Let me just say that my cat Piper was none too thrilled. In fact, saying she freaked out was an understatement! All of a sudden before I could get upstairs I heard what can only be described as a screech from hell. I see Piper standing on the bed, back arched, and ready to fight
I am not a fan of coats for dogs, I know some dogs enjoy having different outfits - like my friends Loui and Simba, for example. In the picture you see wearing my luminous dog coat that Dad bought for me to wear when I go walking in the rain. While I have Kennel Cough I am wearing it every time I go out - how embarrassing!!

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Five days after the operation, Mum decided I definitely had Kennel Cough. If your dog is still coughing after a few days you need to go to the vet. In the meantime, a small dose of Pholcodine linctus on a piece of bread helps relieve the dry cough. I am staying away from other dogs for a few days cos we don't want to

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> <!-- google_ad_section_end -->I am still coughing quite a lot. Dad rang the vet and they said Kennel Cough is just like a human cold virus. It should go away on its own, and you might need antibiotics if a secondary infection develops. I have been taking linctus and paracetamol, soaked on bread with a bit of mayo on top - yum! Today someone told
