It's almost time to start the dog's on their heartworm preventive for the summer. I've grown more concerned about giving my animals drugs and exposing them to chemicals. After much research I've decided it's best to give my dogs the preventive - but on my terms not just what the vet suggests.

However, many veterinarians recommend treatment schedules...The Visiting Dog ~ Cute Story

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an...Adopt this sweet Sheltie - Minnesota

I have a PetFinder widget on my blog and I look at the dogs up for adoption everyday. This will be in the Minnesota region. That is how I came across Santana a lovely Sheltie mix girl. See her and other dogs on PetFinder. Santana is a 7-8 year old, 36 lb. Sheltie mix, possibly with Border Collie. Her background is a mystery since she came to the rescue group as a stray. You can tell from the pictures that her eyes are clouded over with cataracts - we were hopeful that she would be a surgical...Petland Puppy Mills

Microchips: Common Questions George Bernard Shaw once quipped, "Science never solves a problem without creating ten more."

THE TRUTH ABOUT PUPPY MILLS Every year, millions of puppies are mass-produced at puppy mills. Most of these dogs are shipped to pet stores across the country. Many more are sold directly to the public, either through the Internet or newspaper ads. Pet stores are not required to inform their customers that their new dog came from a puppy mill, and classified ads are not obligated to tell potential buyers if the puppies theyre selling were born...Bad Dog Training Makes Aggressive Dogs

Dogs Are Aggressive If They Are Trained Badly ScienceDaily (May 1, 2009) Many dogs are put down or abandoned due to their violent nature, but contrary to popular belief, breed has little to do with a dog's aggressive behaviour compared to all the owner-dependant factors. This is shown in a new study from the University of Córdoba, which includes breeds that are considered aggressive by nature, such as the Rottweiler or the Pit Bull. The conclusions, however, are surprising: it is the owners...If I Didn't Have a Dog or a Cat...

How would my life have been without my Tara for 18 years? I can't imagine life without lots of fur friends ~ If it happened would it be like this? I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could...
