dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
10 Healthiest Human Foods for Your Dog
Some of us love to share our food with our pets... well, sometimes. Sharing as in actually handing it to them and not getting your burger, and possibly you hand, snatched by your dog. They can be reckless at times, but we love them unconditionally because they're one of the main reasons in bringing joy to our lives. Except when they steal the food straight from our hands...

Korky
This right here is Korky. She's the most recent addition to the family. She doesn't like this at this very moment. She actually is way bigger than how she is in this picture. This was taken after a weekend at Las Vegas. I know what you're thinking, "buying a dog after spending hundreds of dollars in Las Vegas." We actually had some money saved for emergency or I guess impulse buys. "We" is my mom, my brother, and I. We decided on the dog because we had three other dogs; Mabel, Poochie, and Oddie. Mabel is a german shepherd, then poochie and oddie are shih tzus. We wanted to even out the family in a way, two big dogs and two small dogs.

My Name Is Phoebe
Hi, my name is Phoebe. I am the ruling queen of my domain, and I'm also two. I have my two-legged loyal and faithful subject who I call Nani, running about my castle, caring for me and other my four-legged.... acquaintances? If even that. All I know about them is that I'm royal and they aren't. How do I know? They're forced to do tricks for treats! Forced! Peasants. Then there is my mom. She has only two legs, too. She lets me sleep in the bed with her, but does not like any of the peasants to sleep with her. That's another thing that makes me special. Mom likes to take me everywhere, likes to walk around a big puddle, to the place with all the food and treats, to the thing that washes whatever she drives around in and she even puts pretty outfits on me.

Top 10 Benefits of Doggy Daycare
For many, if not all, dog owners, our dogs are like our babies and must be cared for as such. Dogs require lots of love and attention, and not all of us can provide that all of the time. And that's OK. That's why there are services out there like doggy daycares. They provide you and your pup with a multitude of benefits, all of which I can personally affirm from my experience working at a doggy daycare.

Life With Dogs
Have you ever had one of those mornings where you spring from bed knowing something isn’t right? I had one this morning. You see every morning my wonderful hubby gets up at the crack of dawn (because that is when the doggie alarm clock tells him to get up). He makes a pot of coffee and takes the dogs out for their run.

Loving the Snow
My three year old dachshund, Zack, loves the snow! This wasn't always the case when he was younger. Early on he'd hop around getting used to the cold but soon figured out that he loved the taste and the cold on his tongue. He even likes ice cubes from the freezer! As much as he loves the snow, he hates the rain. The first time he was out and about and the snow turned to rain, he looked pissed! How dare his precious snow turn to rain! I couldn't put the umbrella up fast enough! Anyway, getting back to the snow, he'll try to eat the snow and even make a path from our front walk to the grass and sidewalk beyond. He'll push the snow around with his snout in a zig zag pattern wandering from place to place. He even tries to eat the snow as it's falling! Just like a kid trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue. My family laughs every time he ends up with snow on his snout. I'd say he almost loves winter more than any other season just because of the snow. And if there's a "big snow" he seems extra excited to get outside.

How to Prevent Your New Puppy From Getting Parvo
So you’ve brought home your new puppy and have purchased all the usual necessities like food, toys, and bedding, but are you prepared to keep him safe from parvo? Unfortunately, every summer veterinary hospitals get hit hard with a huge onslaught of ill puppies with parvovirus, and it is anything but fun. Without intensive hospitalization and treatment, (often even with) these puppies are doomed to die within several days after the onset of symptoms. And it’s always the cute ones; though I suppose I have never met an ugly puppy.

George, the Family Pet... More Like My Pet!
This is George, the family pet… he is more like my pet though. George is a full breed Pitbull and he is 3 years old. Our family has loved George since his mother Remy, she was also our dog, gave birth to him and his siblings. He got his name from his facial features. George looked like an old man in the face and would always sleep. My mother actually named him and it had become a family thing. Although, I am the one to name all of the dogs we have or get. However, I let my mother name him this time because she actually grew more attached to George than I did when he was born. George’s birthday is 3 days after mine and 4 days after my little brother's. So you can say that our house is full of Capricorns, haha. But anyway, back to the story, George is a one of kind, kind of dog. Although, he doesn’t always do what a regular dog would do, George tends to slug around and sleep, haha. He loves to ignore people, he only gives attention when he wants to go outside. George is also a very sneaky dog, haha. He climbs on couches and beds when no one is looking or around. He thinks he is slick but somebody is always watching him. Also, George doesn’t like to be watched when he is eating or drinking his water, I have no clue why, but it is funny.

Finding a Lucky Penny
It was 2004. I was in the first half of the fifth grade and my sister in the second grade. I had been asking (begging) for my parents to get a dog for as long as I can remember. And one day, seemingly out of the blue, they casually mentioned that they were considering it. Now I don't quite remember how I reacted, whether it was stunned silence or screaming my head off, but I know I was excited beyond belief, and so was my sister. This was the first time we really had a chance at getting a dog.
