dog

It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

Life With Dogs: The Stockpile
Sweetpea has spent her morning trying to stockpile a horde of food and treats. Sweetpea (a.k.a Sweetiepea, Pea, Pea Soup, Sweetie, Mama Dog, etc) is my thirteen-year-old chihuahua. She's a sassy, stubborn little dog that everyone seems to love and adore. Most of my friends who "hate" little dogs, always end up liking her. Most say it's because she's adorable, cute, tiny. I say it's because she has mastered the art of manipulation, and uses her cuteness to her advantage.

Daisy and Beanie
Beanie’s POV Up until now, this story has been told by my sister, Daisy. But, it’s not just her story… It’s mine, too! So, let me introduce myself. My name, if you haven’t already guessed, is Beanie. But, they call me a few different names like, “Bean”, “Ben”, “Benny”, “Beignet”, “Beanie Baby”, and “Beanie Boo”. I’m Daisy’s twin sister (sometimes they call her “Crazy Daisy”!). Once upon a time, we looked very much alike! But, the older we get, the easier it becomes to distinguish us, not just by appearance but also by our personalities!

Tips to Deal With Separation Anxiety In Pets
We have all heard the stories of dogs who destroy the house when you leave them alone. They will chew the couch, bed, and basically anything that they can. People try to crate them and they find a way to destroy that too! Then, they get out and destroy the house all over again.

Preparing for Obedience, Part Two
Getting Back to Basics As I stated in a previous article, it is my belief that every dog should have some very basic obedience training. Even for a dog that is "just" a pet, like Joy, can enjoy life more fully when they are able to ride quietly in a crate, walk quietly on a leash, and demonstrate their ability to be good companions even away from home. Even mixed breed dogs can show off their accomplishments with their Canine Good Citizen (AKC), Socialized Pet Obedience Training (UKC), Canine Good Neighbour (Canadian KC), and the Good Citizen dog scheme (UK). While the registries obviously would like these to become gateway events to more advanced training, they also serve a stand-alone purpose: to teach humans and dogs to interact better with the non-dog owning public.

General History Of Dogs
There is no incongruity in the idea that in the very earliest period of man’s habitation of this world he made a friend and companion of some sort of aboriginal representative of our modern dog, and that in return for its aid in protecting him from wilder animals, and in guarding his sheep and goats, he gave it a share of his food, a corner in his dwelling, and grew to trust it and care for it. Probably the animal was originally little else than an unusually gentle jackal, or an ailing wolf driven by its companions from the wild marauding pack to seek shelter in alien surroundings. One can well conceive the possibility of the partnership beginning in the circumstance of some helpless whelps being brought home by the early hunters to be tended and reared by the women and children. Dogs introduced into the home as playthings for the children would grow to regard themselves, and be regarded, as members of the family

Every morning I wake up in a house overlooking 500 acres of central Texas land that I manage called Valkyrie Ranch. As I drink my coffee and look outside, I see something different every day. This land is an exotic game ranch dedicated to preserving various types of animals that would otherwise be extinct (or heading in that direction) in their natural habitat, such as Piere-Davids, blackbuck, oryx, wildebeest, fallow, etc. Most of them roam freely around the property; some are in their enclosures - for their safety and ours. Working with them can be one of the most rewarding occupations, but it can also be one of the most heartbreaking.
