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.

The Little Puppy That Came Home
After I graduated high school my parents finally decided that it was time to expand our ever-growing family. On December 8th, 2019 we welcomed in our new puppy, Scooby-Doo. Scooby was the perfect mix between a bulldog and a miniature pinscher. He was a ball of energy who had trouble staying in one place for longer than a few seconds, after all, he was only a few weeks old. This isn't a sad story about the dog who never came back. in fact, this story has a happy ending. This is a story about a smart little puppy named Scooby-Doo.

Here's to the ones that we lost
I have always known I needed a dog in my life. Now, finding the right one took some time. When I was younger, we owned a couple different dogs, none of which stuck. I think a big part of that was my mom did not want the added responsibility as I was too young to fully understand the care they needed. Once I got into my teens, depression and anxiety hit hard. I felt something was missing, and it didn't take long to figure out what I thought would fill the void. That is how Mallia came to be in my family.

Instinct
I always said it and I will repeat it again: my sense of direction is ridiculously bad, almost nonexistent. Send me out of a bar alone and I will surely go into the opposite direction of where the metro is that I came from just three hours ago. Even with navigation turned on I take wrong turns while driving. It’s almost a tradition now to not find my way home on the first try. It’s like I want to get lost and it has always been this way. Just like that one time I went on one of many walks with my dog as a kid and decided to go deeper into the forest than usual. It was bound to happen and it happened. I got lost in the woods…

A Chinese word for Beautiful
She was born in spring 2009. When I brought her home in August, our first summer with our new golden retriever puppy marked the beginning of an adventure that we are still living twelve years later. My wife fell in love instantly, and her response when I asked her the Chinese word for beautiful gave our new puppy her name. Mei Li was home with us to stay.

Help Needed - One Dog
Ooh boy. Where do I start? Like any of us, I was brought into this world with a litter of brothers and sisters. You see, we were born for a very important task. So important. Crucially important. We were born, to use our noses.

Delta, our stubborn but loveable Dog.
It was June 2003, I was celebrating my birthday and my then wife gave me a T bone steak to cook on the grill. We were strapped for cash during that time. With two little girls to take care of, we were on a very tight budget. So when I received a t bone it was a really special treat.

Sadie
The first time Sarah took me to her upstairs apartment, she said, “I hope you like dogs because Sadie loves people!” When she told me Sadie was her three-year-old German Shepherd, I was a little nervous. “Like that giant Rin Tin Tin crime-fighting dog?” I asked. She responded, “Oh no, not at all. Sadie hates cops.”

A Dog With An Old Soul
when I first visited the animal shelter, I knew what type of dog I wanted. However, that changed when I was in the presence of a small Yorkie. She didn’t run up to me or try to lick me or jump on me like most dogs do. Instead she followed me, while staring at me from a distance of about 7 feet. She had the most innocent looking eyes and I remember her slightly smiling.

I woke up on that Saturday morning, feeling an emptiness inside. I knew that not long from now, my Grandma was probably going to pass away. Could be a minute from now. Could be a few days from now. But we knew that was probably going to happen sooner rather than later. My mother was over at there house taking care of things and I remained home to take care of the dogs but my dad and I might go over at some point to say goodbye.

Rosey
Rosey is a clever girl. She's always trying to find workarounds to get biscuits. Like me, she loves her treats. But this can be a problem when I'm trying to train her.

I have three dogs and I love them all. But not equally. Yes, I am a dog owner admitting that I do have a favorite dog. I promise you that it does not show in the affection I give to them when I come home from a long work day, but it is apparent in the way I speak about them when I am asked about my furry friends.

Why it's better to adopt a dog than buy one
Although estimates vary, 3 to 4 million cats and dogs are killed ("sleep") each year in the United States because very few neuter their pets, some adopting new pets, And do a lot more damage. their pets. In the United States, a large number of healthy dogs and cats are killed each year simply because they are not adopted. It is estimated that more than 1 million dogs and cats are euthanized each year in the United States, simply because too many pets end up in shelters and too few consider adoption when looking for them. Huh. After all, an estimated 4 million cats and dogs are euthanized each year in the United States because too many people abandon their pets, and not enough people adopt them from animal shelters.
