Men and Dogs

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

Doing More with your Dog

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."

On Loving Dogs

"I like dogs better [than people]. They give you unconditional love. They either lick your face or bite you, but you always know where they're coming from. With people, you never know which ones will bite.

PET ONE “DOG CARE ON WHEELS” SM Pampanga!

Being a dog-lover blogger makes me so happy. I get invited to awesome events where I can meet fellow dog lovers, I do not have a lot of friends in real life because I am a homebody and I rarely go out of the house, I work at home so I actually do not have any reason to get out at all, aside from walking the dogs of course.

There are only several occasions when I love to go out, it's either my dogs have a play date, they have an appointment with the vet/groomer or I need to shop for them.

How to Help Your Dog Lose Weight: A Guest Post by Chloe Trogden




How to Help Your Dog Lose Weight

 There's not much cuter than a rollie-pollie pooch. However, an overweight pup is not a healthy pup. Those soft rolls may look adorable, but they are a sign that your dog isn't at a healthy weight, and that can set him up for other health problems, including everything from diabetes to heart disease.

If your dog is overweight, you need to take action to make sure you help keep him healthy and happy for many years to come. Here are a few tips for how you can help your dog to lose weight.
See a Vet

The first thing you should do when your pet has any health issue is to see a vet for a consultation and advice. Your vet can look your dog over and run any tests necessary to determine if there are any underlying health problems that could be causing the weight gain. If there are no health issues to deal with, your vet can then tell you exactly how much weight your dog needs to lose and can offer you information about how to help your dog do so safely.

  Serve Diet Food

There are many special blends of dog food that you can serve that are designed to help your dog lose weight. These can include foods that are lower in calories, lower in fat, or lower in sugars and other unhealthy fillers. Choose one of these special blends to help your dog lose weight and get the nutrition that he needs.

Practice Portion Control

Just like you have to do when you want to lose weight, your dog must practice portion control in order to drop pounds. Since he's unlikely to turn away seconds if they're offered, you have to be the one practicing control. Measure out the food that your dog needs rather than just pouring a bowl and leaving it out all day for mindless grazing. Only provide the food your dog needs when it is meal time, and don't allow more snacking in between meals.
 Cut Out Treats

Though you may want to give your dog a nice scrap of meat or some other treats when he's done a trick or some other behavior that you want to encourage, these treats can quickly add up in calories and contribute to your dog's weight problem. When you are trying to help your dog lose weight, it's best to cut out treats entirely. Focus instead on quality food at meal times, and give out scratches and cuddles to reinforce positive behavior instead of food.

Get More Exercise

Your dog's diet is only one factor contributing to his weight problem. If you want to help your dog lose weight in a healthy way, you also need to help him to get more exercise. Depending on your dog's weight and current activity level, you may have to start with short walks to the backyard and back. Over time, you can build to walks around the block, then longer walks, and then runs. Never take on too much, too soon, or you could risk injuring your dog and causing other serious health problems.



.Don't let the lure of a cute and chubby pooch stop you from helping your dog get healthy. If you're dog is overweight, take these steps to help him drop those unnecessary pounds and get healthy now. You'll be happy to have your dog for many more years to come.

Famous Dogs You May Not Think Of, a Guest Post from Ron Rutherford from Havahart Wireless.



Famous Dogs You May Not Think Of

Author Bio:
Ron Rutherford is a writer with a passion for nature and a soft spot for Thai food. He currently freelances for Havahart Wireless, which specializes in progressive and humane wireless dog fences.


Many of us have our own pooch that we love but there are some dogs that are loved by everyone all around. Dogs have taken over major motion pictures, television shows, and even our books. Some of the dogs that we have fallen in love with are even more memorable than their human co-stars.  When listing off famous dogs, many people begin with Lassie, Old Yeller, Toto, and Rin Tin Tin. While those stars deserve to be at the top of the list, here are a few that have achieved a level of stardom but you may not think of right away. 

Lassie  image source: http://news.bbc.co.uk

Old Yeller

Toto

Rin tin tin
Hooch
Beasley the Dog may not be as famous as Tom Hanks but he sure made a great co-star in the movie Turner and Hooch. Even though Hooch destroyed Turner’s house and turned his life upside down, he instigated a romance between Turner and the veterinarian and he also bonded with Turner in a way that only a dog could bond with a human. 
Hooch
Wishbone
Wishbone is perhaps the most intelligent and well-read Jack Russell Terrier in history. He is “the little dog with a big imagination” and is constantly daydreaming about being the main character in a piece of literature.  Wishbone always has his family in mind and never backs away from his morals. Who could ask for a better dog?

Wishbone
Brian Griffin
Perhaps Brian Griffin doesn’t display model behavior but he is a likeable dog all the same. His love for dry martinis and the finer arts make Brian seem more sophisticated and educated than the rest of the Griffin family. Brian is a bit of a womanizer and has an extremely liberal viewpoint but he always considers the Griffins to be his family.

Brian Griffin
Pongo
After the production of 101 Dalmatians, Dalmatians became an extremely popular breed across the globe and it’s no surprise that many of them were named Pongo after the star of the film. Pongo and his clan make a stance against wearing fur and Pongo is characterized by his fatherly love for his puppies. 

Pongo
Kyle
Kyle was more of a background dog (if you could call him that) in the movie Despicable Me but he was definitely a memorable one. Kyle’s looks match his vicious personality and even Gru has trouble controlling him. What makes Kyle such a likeable dog in the end is how he warmed up to the orphan girls, especially little Agnes, and developed the same attachment to them as any other dog would have.
