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 Pain of Losing a Beloved Pet
It’s hard to describe what grief looks like as it’s different for everyone. Recently my family suffered the loss of our family dog. He had been with us for close to 18 years so we had obviously grown very attached to him.

No, My Dog Is Not Broken
Insight can come from the strangest places. Today, that insight came to me during a visit to our vet with our newest dog Pumpkin. He was our families Covid support dog, and it was time to update his shots, and make an appointment to get him fixed.

Signs of Fear in Dogs
“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

What My Dog Can Teach You to About Life
“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk, Author I was having lunch, outdoor, on the top of the hill our house is at. Khaleese, my German Wirehaired Pointer/Labrador mix was sitting next to me. Far enough to be left where she is, close enough to not miss anything.The incarnation of enlightenment. The happiest, sweetest, most content dog I have ever known; life for Khali is a sequence of predictable events eliciting consequences. That’s why I will now give her the pen and let her tell you how to reach Nirvana in a few, easy to follow, steps.

My Obsession with Dachshunds
For as long as I can remember (around the age of two, to be exact) my family has included a smart, sassy, stubby-legged dachshund. With a bark loud enough to match its boisterous personality, the dachshund is truthfully one of a kind. Originally bred for hunting badgers, they really live up to their reputation of being fearless. They are strong willed and loving animals, and for the people that get to be in their lives, there is nothing better.

Overnight, I Have Become the Mother of a Toddler Shih Tzu
I’ve written a bit over the last year about our rescue dog, Berkeley. Long story short, Berkeley came into our possession soon after my husband and I were engaged, when a family member decided they no longer wanted their Shih Tzu and were planning to sell him on the internet.

It is 7.30am on a wet and dreary January day. I am contemplating getting out of bed and preparing for the day ahead, not really wanting to move from the cosy comfort of my nest beneath the duvet but knowing that I really ought to.
