Dog Ear Infection and the Dreaded Cone A few weeks ago, Abigail underwent surgery for an ear hematoma. As a result, she wore a collar for the last few weeks to keep her from scratching her ears and causing infection. Yesterday, she finally got the collar off around 3 o’clock. We were so happy for [...]
I can tell Shadow is up to something. He keeps walking through the kitchen with his nose in the air. I’m sure he’s seen that big bird in the oven and I know he smells it. Every year, we get a few pieces of the turkey. I hope it happens soon, it’s “better than snuff”.* [...]
I was as happy as a tick on a fat dog to find out that Shadow came out of his surgery okay. In case ya’ll didn’t hear, he got neutered today and, as expected, he survived. I reckon that’s one way to lose a little weight (although with him, it won’t be much ; ). [...]
I’m willing to bet Shadow doesn’t even know that he has a surgery coming up. That right, he’s gonna get the ole “snip snip”. “Snip… snip??” They’re going to do what to my… Dog, that ain’t right! What about all of the puppies I was going to sire? What about all of those great times [...]
Hi ya’ll, my name is Abigail, and I’m a Golden Retriever. Even though I’ve seen my share of sunsets, I still like to think of myself as beautiful. For the past year, I have allowed Shadow the Chocolate Lab into my home. I did so with the dignity that befits a southern belle, and showed [...]
Fred loved to meet new people. Every day he would go to the door and loved to get petted by the nice visitors. This day however, was a little different. It was almost dark when the door bell rang. Fred ran to the door wagging his tail and waiting impatiently for someone to open it. [...]
This is truly amazing to me (and not in a good way). Jared Colony was asked to watch a friend’s Puggle puppy. While under his care, Jared poured vodka into the puppy’s bowl and encouraged the pup to drink it. After 30 minutes, the owner returned, “Pip was unresponsive, barley breathing with his tongue hanging [...]
Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. What Would A Dog Do has an excellent article about the day, problems caused by pet obesity, and ways to avoid it. I’ll admit that I’m guilty when it comes to making sure I give the dogs enough exercise. As our lifestyles become busier, it becomes more and [...]
Shadow is almost a year old and maybe the chocolate coat is just a bit too plain. What do you think of a chocolate lab dyed purple with white spots? Do you think he’ll be all the rage on the next trip to the dog park? Dog Dying Dog dying has become a growing trend [...]
My son, Thomas, asked if I would post this article for him. By Thomas Hardee Some people may say that trimming a Siberian Huskies’ coat will help them stay cool. This is not true. The outer coat is a barrier to all sorts of things. It protects them from bugs such as insects, mites, and [...]
