It happened every summer, usually on the last day of school. I begged my parents for a dog, pointing out that I had the whole summer to care for him, play with him and feed him. "And what happens when you go back to school?" they'd ask. "It'll be okay...I promise." I'm sure parents throughout the Southland are hearing the same thing this summer. Dogs, of course, can have a very positive effect on children. Dog ownership teaches responsibility and commitment as well as helping to create a lifelong appreciation and respect of animals. But make no mistake -- there is absolutely no doubt that in the long-run, YOU will be responsible for the welfare of your child's pet. Over my 23-year career as a dog...

Did you know that America has an almost unknown force of heroes who risk the most dangerous missions, scouting, searching for explosives, helping to save wounded soldiers and other clandestine and super dangerous activities? These heroes have for years been unsung and at one time were abandoned or worse at the end of their tour...with nary a thanks or even a ride home. America's War Dogs have saved the lives of countless Americans and are only recently being recognized and given a 2nd chance at life in appreciation for their heroic deeds. Some are injured and handicapped physically or perhaps are simply longing for a home...which bears fruit to the real question of today. Would You Save the Life of...

I can't think of a time in my life that I haven't loved dogs. As a very small child, I wanted to run to every dog that crossed my range of vision and play with it. Size and shape didn't matter, they all needed to be petted and talked to. We had many dogs in my family while I was growing up, all mixes that brought us joy and companionship. I have fond memories of their unique personalities and quirky behaviors. It's no surprise that I told my fiance that we had to have a dog. Life wouldn't be complete without one. He agreed, mostly because he wanted me to have some protection while he was at work. We spent the first two years of our marriage carefully researching breeds. We made a list of desired...

Adopting a new canine is the first step toward enjoying a rewarding experience as a dog owner. Your new companion will show a level of love and devotion unmatched by any other pet. You'll arrive home from a long day and look forward to his greeting you by the door. But ownership comes with responsibility. You'll need to provide your pooch with food, shelter, and veterinary care throughout his life. This article will describe how to be a conscientious owner. First, we'll provide a short list of questions to consider before you adopt your pooch. We'll then explain why ongoing veterinary care is critical to ensuring your canine remains healthy and happy over the long run. You'll also learn the...

The top reasons that most dogs are surrendered to shelters are 'no time', we are moving' 'allergies'& 'new baby' These are usually thinly veiled answers for other underlying reasons. Most people are usually keen to get a cuddly cute puppy & after a few years they realize that the little puppy has grown into a big dog that requires trips to the vet, exercise and a lot of work. MYTH-Only old or disabled dogs available for adoption FACT-Most dogs are young, healthy & have been surrendered for the above reasons that I previously stated. If you are really keen on getting a puppy, visit the shelter often to view all the recent surrenders. Eventually, a dog will come along that will perfectly...

Last night I had a conversation with a new acquaintance. He told me he had two cats that were about to "pop" (i.e. give birth). When I asked him why he had not spayed his cats he said, "It's too expensive". This man lives alone in a 6,000 square foot home, owns other acreage and collects cars, and yet he was not willing to spend $100 per cat to prevent unwanted births. He said, "It is not a problem; I give the kittens away at the grocery store". Regrettably his attitude and actions are typical, and place a huge burden on animal lovers, as well as state and local municipalities that must deal with large populations of unwanted animals. Each and every year we euthanize 4 to 10 million domestic...

Pets are remarkable creatures. They are:o Masters of life in the moment and in the art of simplicityo Reflections of a world forgotten, presynthetic, more completeo Reminders of the quiet strength and dignity of creation not tinkered witho Keepers of gifts we have lost or never hado Ambassadors of loyalty, love, forgiveness, acceptance, fun, and truth that are neither measured nor withheldo Recipients of our wonder, respect, love-and needful of the care that will bring them the fullness of health that comes only from nature obeyed. Animals are not best served by imposing all the elements of modern life upon them. All the principles about genetic context, medical dangers, and preventive care apply...

Indeed, pets can be great buddies and it is just right to find the best ways in taking care of pets and reciprocate the many wonderful things they bring into your life. If you intend to have a pet at home, you have to make sure you are capable of taking good care of them. Taking care of pets is not just something you do once in a while or if you feel like it. You have to make sure that you can commit and give time to taking care of them and make them feel part of the family. Pets contribute a lot to our approach through life since they act us our stress-reliever and can help us in releasing tension and fatigue. However, taking care of these pets is not that easy. They can sometimes take much of the...

Responsible pet owners choose to spay their female dogs for a variety of reasons, including the protection of a dog's overall health and to control pet overpopulation. While the miracle of birth is fascinating to many and most are particularly fond of new puppies, the fact is that pregnancy and birth can cause a variety of health issues in dogs. Also, cute puppies grow into adult dogs and without a proper home being available for these dogs, allowing female dogs to breed only increases the likelihood that her offspring will fall prey to unfortunate circumstances caused by pet overpopulation. Health Issues Pregnancy and birth are not always the safest occurrences for some dogs. As a result of either...

Question 1 - Do dog pounds use vacuum machines to kill dogs? A close friend of mine is a professional breeder; during a casual conversation with her she told me about a news item published in a Los Angeles newspaper in the 1970s. The above story is about a woman rescuing 53 stray dogs from a Los Angeles pound. This rescue act was carried out because they had planned to execute these dogs by using a 'vacuum machine' and then toss them into a grinding machine. The residues were expected to be sold as fertilizer. I crosschecked on this information later and found that this news was actually published in the newspaper. I was shocked when I heard about this story and never believed in its veracity. I...

Great pet well-being is closely related to pet grooming. It can be exactly just like with humans; pets feel finest whenever they're correctly looked after. The very best dog grooming is commonly evaluated by elements like spending budget, canine size, dog temperament and species. Furthermore, you need to decide the dog grooming volume resulting from these factors, transforming nail clipping, hair brushing and ear care into a disciplined regimen. Ideal dog grooming is normally achieved by sticking with suggestions made by a veterinarian. You will consequently be capable of grooming your dog at your residence, or you can simply choose to transport it to a specialist dog grooming establishment for this...

In the economic climate that we find ourselves at the moment, it seems that the only projects out there are public jobs where bids are solicited and any warm-blooded creature with a pulse and a remote ability to read plans can submit a price on the job. The municipalities are required by law to accept the lowest responsible bid. Of course words like responsible can be interpreted in many ways, so the public entity reserves the right to exclude bids from companies that they feel are not capable of performing the work. However, when tax dollars are in the mix, I would think that it is difficult to justify not taking the low bid especially if they can provide the bonding and insurance requirements. I...

Whether a person is painfully shy or just gets tongue tied when out on a date, planning the right date for shy people can make the date a real success. It will depend on how shy you or your date are and if just one or both of you is shy as to where best to go on a date.

First Date - Coffee Pick your location well, somewhere quiet and off the beaten track is better. If they like art meet in the coffee shop of a gallery. If your date is...

The iconic form of the doghouse is an engrained part of American culture. It has permeated our pop culture (Snoopy, from Peanuts) to our idioms (being "in the doghouse"). There's very little mention, however, of the outdoor cathouse. But anyone who lives in quiet suburban or rural areas and keeps outdoor cats knows the necessity for an outside shelter which appeals to the feline crowd. If you live in an urban area or one with moderate to heavy traffic, it is strongly recommended that you keep your cats indoors to protect them from harm. Don't worry though, there's plenty of fancy indoor cathouses, beds, and toys you can pamper them with. For those with the right conditions though, an outdoor...

oogle_ad_section_start --> If your dog has a fear of loud noises you can help her defeat the fear with a little patience and calm behavioral modification techniques. Sherry Woodard, dog trainer and consultant for the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, says that the following technique is especially useful.o She suggests getting an audio of the loud noises that your dog has the most fear of. Play the audio at low volume so that your dog will hear the sounds but not be frightened by the normally accompanying loudness. Do things to divert her attention while the audio is playing. You can play with her, pet or brush your dog while the audio plays. Once your dog becomes accustomed to the sound or noise which...

It is really hard to say where baseball got it beginnings, because there were so many bat-n-ball games through the centuries. Yet, in my research, one early bat-n-ball game stood out. This game was called "Rounders." I asked a few of my baseball buddies if they had ever heard of this game. To my surprise absolutely no one knew what I was talking about. So, I am going to share with everyone, how this really interesting bat-n-ball game works. In 16th century England the bat-n-ball game called, "Rounders" was played between two teams. These teams consisted of six to nine players. One of the teams played in the outfield while the other played in the in-field. The field was laid out with four stakes...

Animal Control officer is my title yet they call me a "killer". I am a mom a wife and a hard worker. I am also the last face most animals at my job see. I feed them and love them and speak to them words of kindness, yet this does not stop what is about to happen. These animals had owners, they have collars, but no tags. They have no understanding of why they were left behind and no one is looking for them. Most were a free puppy or kitten from a Wal-Mart parking lot and are "replaceable". Some run loose all the time and owners think they will come back in three or for days. However in our shelter time is precious. Most city shelters only hold animals for 72 hours and then they euthanize them...

One cannot overstate the undeniable misery that comes with losing a home to foreclosure. The sacrifices and the stressful decisions one must make, will weigh heavily on those who find themselves in the unenviable position of having to say goodbye to their dream home. But a growing, and distinctly unpleasant, side-effect of this social calamity has emerged in recent years. It seems that more and more people are moving away from their homes, and abandoning the family pets in the process. Countless cats, dogs and exotic animals are simply being left behind in empty properties, ostensibly to perish, without food or water. And while the human cost of foreclosure must be incredible, it seems remarkable...

Why would someone rescue a Rottweiler? After all, they have a public persona for being big, mean and dangerous, among a long list of other false accusations. So why do people do it? Well, consider the following story... You've just tragically lost your best 4-legged friend in the world, and your heart is broken into a million pieces. You've barely smiled much less laughed in months, you can't stand to be in your empty house without crying, and your marriage is even suffering because of the heartache. Then one day you get a phone call from a well-meaning friend who tells you about a homeless dog that needs help. You really don't feel up to it, but agree to help find the dog a home anyway. That...

I’m sure everyone is aware of the dilemma Ellen Degeneres is going through right now with regards to her adopted dog Iggy. And I have to throw my two cents worth into the arena. The animal protection movement began in 1866 with the founding of the first SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). A New York city millionaire by the name of Henry Bergh – after witnessing animal cruelty, took it upon himself to make changes. He was known as the ‘great meddler’. There is a long history to Henry Bergh’s actions – but basically he stood up against the norm and fought for animal rights against all odds. There were no lengthy contracts, there was no fine print. He alone, took an...

1. "No-Kill" Shelters Aren't Totally In the website words of one of the firstno-kill shelters, The San Francisco SPCA: "(We)guarantee to find a home for all San Francisco's adoptable cats and dogs - animals that are healthy and free ofserious behavior problems. Animals are euthanatizedonly if they are too sick to be rehabilitated, ortoo aggressive to be safely placed in a home." 2. Tax Supported Shelters Can't Turn Down Anyone No-kill shelters have been criticized for skimming the cream of abandoned pets and letting public, tax-supported shelters deal with all the sick,aggressive and elderly animals. There is truth to this. If you take Fido to a no-kill shelter, you may be required to have a clean...

It is important when choosing to have a new family member (even a pet) that many factors are considered first before making a choice. Once you have decided that a Guinea Pig is the right pet then you need to locate a happy, healthy one. There are several places in which a pet can be found. The first is the most obvious 'pet stores', there are many kinds of pet stores, from small independently owned pet shops to the large pet super stores. This option is a very popular one, but unfortunately the store and its staff can sometime be lacking knowledge in Guinea Pig specifics and care. It is best to talk to the staff members about the animal before making a choice, they should know the correct way of...

So, you have settled on getting a pet ferret but is it better to buy a ferret or adopt? If you choose to buy a ferret you will have more control over the type that you have. If you want a specific color you can find a breeder or pet store that has what you are looking for. You will also have a better chance of getting a baby, or Kit, which you will be able to train as you want. You will be paying a bit more for your ferret initially and will also have to cover the full cost of vaccinations, neutering and descenting as well as microchipping the ferret. However, many of these are one-time costs. If you prefer to adopt or re-home a ferret then you should contact local ferret rescue shelters and...

Cats are not native to North America. From their humble beginnings into domestication in Egypt around or about 5000BC, cats have slowly moved from continent to continent. In Europe, they were not very well accepted and often caught a killed until the plagues in the Dark Ages. With their superb hunting skills, they were very helpful lowering the rodent population and therefore gained acceptance. From Europe, the cats came with the new settlers. Often, cats were carried on the ships to combat the rodent problem and they would often escape when the ship was docked. In North America, it is estimated that the cat population is over 65 million. Cats tend to have a free ranging spirit often traveling...

No, I'm not nuts. But I'll tell what is crazy: for every person that is born, fifteen dogs and forty-five cats are also born. That's 15 dogs. That's 45 cats. Out in the world. Cold, hungry, unwanted and unloved. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born EVER finds a permanent home. Only 1 out of every 12 cats born EVER finds a permanent home. What can you do? Pet overpopulation is EVERYBODY's problem. Here are three small ways you can make a big difference. First, education is the key. In northern California, where I live, scores of kittens are "dumped" on the steps of shelters every spring...sometimes with the mom, sometimes not. If no one claims them, they are all euthanized; the mom too. Then, there the...
