Children don't see the language of your pet as you do.

Example: Your walking your dog, walk to a house with children by it. They ask to pet your dog, you say yes. They pet your dog, and the dog wags with happiness.

Thats whats suppose to happen, usauly.

Children need to now body language early. I teach my 6 year old sister when to pet and not pet a dog.

Steel has never bit anybody exept fleas, He tolerates children, mostly because they mean play…

There are different categories of hunting hounds, the sight hounds (hunt by sight), and scent hounds (hunt by scent). Some hunting dogs are good for working either on water or on land and some work on both. Dogs were able to provide men with food, clothing, and even helped out to build their rudimentary houses. Dogs were men’s best friend. I imagine, back then, the bonding between men and dogs was special since dogs helped you out on nearly everything. Nowadays we go to work and leave our…

Everyone should know that Valentine's day is about love and affection. But not just for humans.

. I see every day, as a day to celebrate with my pets. I'm talking about a party, but something special to do every day.

Take steel on a longer walk/hike, or to a different hiking area, (because going on the same walk gets boring).

. Giving gifts. Toys, treats, or love. All pets love, love. Make sure you dont give them to much food, treats, or love. They may…

These are subjects most of us don’t like talking about. We think our pet’s health will never deteriorate. However, the time will come when all of us, including our pets, will have to face death. Some people  pay for their burial expenses before they die because they just hate the idea of becoming a financial burden on their families. It is sad when families ask friends for money to bury their loved ones because it’s extremely…

We all have heard of famous dogs in commercials such as Gitget “The Taco Bell Chihuahua.” She died in of a heart attack in 2009. She died when she was 15 years old. Can you believe this dog always flew first class? She is also the dog from Legally Blonde II. Chihuahuas’ are supposed to be, smart, friendly, and very loyal dogs. Does anyone remember Lassie produced by Robert Maxwell? (Also known as Jeff’s Collie and Timmy and Lassie) It was televised from 1954 to 1973. I…

I made a blog before about my cats and dogs many health problems. Here's an update. The flea problem; i bought more flea medicine(vectra) and capstars(pills that kills fleas in 20 mins). Every pet took them, some didnt like having a pill shoved down their throat(cats), steel was use to this(because I give him lots of pills and medication). Within 30 minutes, the cats were licking like crazy, itching, scratching. Shakespear got so crazy about the fleas that he jumped on a scratching post and…
