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.

First Urban Adventure with My Sheepdog
I have an urban living sheepdog, border collie, who has cats to herd instead of sheep, and he watches the cats in the upstairs gated corral. He will run from gate to gate looking to see where the cats might be hiding. He diligently watches them all day long. I think the cats are amused at times. Sometimes they will all be asleep on the day bed together at night.

Riley
You know I contemplated entering the Life Unleashed challenge mainly because I honestly did not know what to say. Riley is my pup who I never knew I needed. So much was going on with me around that time. I had just moved out on my own, dealing with some emotional baggage and I had just lost my sweet fur baby Bella who I had since she was a baby. Sometimes I think me and her meeting was some kinda fate. When I first saw her she was just some nameless dog that was follow my older brother and cousin around she was so cute but I couldn't take her in.

Cosette, Mozey-Mozey, Cosette.
Immediately after moving into a run-down one-bedroom upstairs apartment in San Bernardino, California, my girlfriend took the opportunity to pick a fight with her dad, which facilitated getting herself kicked out, and she needed to move in with me. I didn't mind terribly- but I saw what she did.

How to Prepare Your Dog for Your Newborn Baby
Children and pets make wonderful companions when raised properly together and taught how to behave with each other. Children that grow up in a home with pets learn respect and love for animals, and more importantly, respect for life. As the children grow older they can learn responsibility by helping to care for the animals. Animals enrich our and our children's lives beyond belief.

The Knighting of Sir Watkyn
"It's my dear Watson!", our elderly neighbour A.K Singh Ji intervened, "not Watkyn?" "Yes, but it's not from Sherlock Holmes," I clarified, "It's Wodehouse."

Daisy: "Kevin McCallister" among dogs!
Hello! I'm Bogdan and I'm the happy owner of a pretty, crazy lady. The female version of "Kevin McCallister" among dogs. Her name is Daisy and she is a mixed breed dog. She is young and restless, 4 years old, and very funny. I rescued Daisy from a shelter in 2018. She is a great dog: playful, sweet, loyal, and loves playing with the other dogs at the dog park. She loves to wake me up by kissing and licking my entire face. So she helps me pass the cleaning face in the shower. And (she should not know) I double wash then. Unfortunately ruining her wet 'love' left on my face.

Teddy Bears and Apple Slices
I first suspected Oso was sick a month before he died. Earlier that year I had decided that I wanted to be a baker after watching too many episodes of The Great British Bake Off. I was scowling at my poorly made lattice, silently debating whether or not I should remake it when I noticed Oso laying by my feet.

The Comfort of the Most Loyal Dog
It is often said that dog is man’s best friend. And it’s a maxim that true best friends will stick by you through thick and thin, no matter what. I could definitely say this for one of my family’s dogs, Woody.

“The Basement Babe”.
Lola wasn’t supposed to be here. In fact, she lived a very different life before being sheltered with peanut butter bones and cuddles.

Don't Let Go!
Rascal was that dog. You know, the dog who's lifespan runs parallel to the most formative years of your childhood. We adopted Rascal from the Humane Society in Erie, Pennsylvania, when I was five years old.

Her Life, Unleashed
She passed away on October 12th, 2013, but this was not the last memory we made together. No, this was only the moment she was freed from the confines of her arthritis-riddled, twelve-and-a-half-year-old body, and she was now ready to experience true freedom.
