Dogs love to dig holes, and that’s fine, as long as it’s in a park and not in their own backyard. Nobody wants an ugly patio that has been completely excavated. If you have a garden like I do, it can be even more complicated. Whatever your situation, you need to stop your pit bull from digging holes everywhere, so […]
Schnauzers are a popular breed of dog that has been around for hundreds of years, dating back to the 15th century in Germany. The name schnauzer may seem strange to English speakers, however the word “schnauze” is the German word for muzzle, so it makes perfect sense as the schnauzer has a very different muzzle with long hair. Originally, Schnauzers […]
As far as I’m concerned, you can’t beat one terrier for a mate. Their sweet faces and cheerful movements remind me of puppies no matter how old they are, and everyone knows how cute puppies are! Lately we have seen a huge increase in “designer dogs”, dogs that are a mixture of types of pure bread. Breeders and buyers expect […]
I once read a column in my local newspaper about the experience of a person adopting a kitten. The theme of the column seemed to be that it was difficult to get exactly the kitten I wanted due to what the columnist argued was the lack of unwanted kittens in our province, British Columbia. The columnist ended up buying her […]
Okay, I admitted it. I’m fascinated, too curious, not entirely obsessed with the idea of ”you are what you eat.” If you could see me, you’d say I need to lose more than a few pounds and it certainly doesn’t seem like I’m practicing what fascinates me so much. I know deep down (literally) that my consumption of overly processed […]
You may have heard stories in your high school science classes about kings and queens who used to keep their bloodline pure by marrying within the family. After years and years of this practice, a child would be born with tons of physical and mental problems. His teacher probably explained that this was because all the “bad” genes eventually appeared […]
The Scratch and Sniff Animal Shelter in a small town in Iowa had been looking for someone to volunteer to care for the dogs and cats on their premises. Specifically, they wanted someone to volunteer to pick up waste from the walking dogs. A man in his forties entered the shelter to volunteer for the position. His name was Kurt […]
The teacup kitten is not so much a breed as a description of a group of cats that are much smaller than average in size. This can be due to several reasons and some who are born very small do not always stay that way. For some people, its small size is a huge advantage, especially for those with smaller […]
The Cairnoodle is a mixed breed developed from the Cairn Terrier and the Miniature Poodle, so it has an appearance that includes characteristics of both breeds. It weighs about 15-20 pounds and is between 10 and 15 inches tall. They are found in different mixes of cream, red, black, and gray. Their life expectancy is 12 to 16 years. The […]
Does dog training get you down? Well, for me it definitely was. It seemed that no matter what he did, the result was the same. Sometimes I wondered which was more difficult: raising my son or raising my dog;) I have a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel named Rocky that I have had since I was a puppy. It was […]
