The Economy Has Gone to the Dogs . . . Literally -
Steve Kovacs (4,388)     
Steve Kovacs  
The economy is in the dumpster and it's a scary time for many. A time where it is difficult to make ends meet for some, and for others it's even harder; to the point of finding it difficult to put food on their table. This is where dogs come in to the mix.

We have four pets. Three dogs and a cat and in today's economy, I don't want to have to sacrifice good nutrition because of price.

As a dog owner and dog-lover, I completely understand how people can get attached to their pets.

Five Reasons A New Puppy Is Not Like Having A Baby -
Laura Trahan (38,722)
Laura Trahan
We acquired a new puppy for the kids for Christmas. It was one of those things where I was outvoted despite the fact I would be the one around him the most. Anyhow, since that time that my husband brought him home, I have heard one statement over and over. "It is just like having a new baby all... ( added 287 days 12 hours ago.) |
Canine Nasal Knowledge (a poem for my dog, Peaches) -
Tex Norman (4,228)  
Tex Norman
This morning it was cold, but my dog Peaches seemed not to notice. She reads the ground with her nose, and it just seems as if she were gathering news from the apartment complex, she studies the air the way editors look for Scribner's errors.

The Face of Compassion- A Tribute to My Dog Duke -

Val Silver
So many times when we think of someone being compassionate we think of an act of one person to another. Perhaps we think of God. I want to tell you about someone else, my dog Duke.

Marty RicKard
It was 1948. I was ten. Every day after school, I curled on the couch next to our radio and waited for the gunshot and the big dog to bark. Finally, it came, the shot and ricochet, the bark, and then that powerful voice: "On, King! On, you huskies!" It was Sergeant Preston of the Mounted Police... ( added 1 year 93 days ago.) |
Pet Tips: How to Calm a Dog Which Suffers from Noise Phobia -
Danny Davids (19,715)
Danny Davids
For years my wife and I thought our white German shepherd/yellow Lab mix was just being a good, if somewhat overzealous, watchdog. Any little noise causes RiCA to start barking and heading towards the source of the sound. A neighbor next door pulls into his driveway and slams the car door as he... ( added 1 year 102 days ago.) |
How to Cope when Caring for a Paralyzed Pet -
Barbara Techel (84) 
I was uneducated when it came to intervertebral disc disease, which is common in the dachshund breed.

Animals and their Amazing Adversity Lessons -
Barbara Techel (84)
Trying to picture in my minds eye, Frankie, my dachshund moving with wheels did not compute. I immediately attached my human emotions to the situation. Without the use of her hind legs I believed Frankie would be depressed, and would not want to go on with life. I could not have been more wrong.... ( added 1 year 163 days ago.) |
The Brink of Death -
Beckie Stewart (42) 
Beckie Stewart
Our four children bounced around in the car. The forty-five minute ride felt like days to them.

My Dog, Parky: Part Two -

Dianne Lehmann
Everyone should have at least one perfect dog and least once in their lives.

My Dog, Parky: Part One -

We got Parky when I was about seven years old. It was a warm, bright Saturday in late spring and the air was electric with anticipation. Puppies, we were going to see puppies!

A few years back a very distraught lady walked into my office. When I looked at her I thought she was recently assaulted. She sat down and started to cry. I offered her a glass of water and waited.

Westminster Kennel Club--No County Fair! -
- Bob Alexander (2,133) 
Bob Alexander
I miss the animal events at county fairs, but as close as I get to one these days, is by watching the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on TV. It's not quite the same, I guess I miss the smells. In today's technical world I guess I'll have to be satisfied with electronic dog shows.

Have you ever held any Westie puppies? These tiny creatures are cuddly and white furry balls, at least 12-15 inches tall, possessing a pair of coal black eyes and snubbed nose.

Putting A Dog To Sleep -
John Ward (607)
I was talking to a friend of mine today and I asked him how his kids (dogs) were. He lives on his own and the standing joke is - "does he want to do a swap with his dogs and my kids?"

The Love Of My Dogs, Trixie, Princess, And More -
- Joel Hendon (17,877) 
Joel Hendon
The depth of my love of dogs is almost unimaginable. And my life has been filled with them, although they furnish you with lots of heartaches, inadvertently, as well as pleasure. At the beginning of my memories, probably 1932 or 1933, we had a small feist dog, Trixie. When I say small, she was... ( added 1 year 353 days ago.) |
