I decided to blog about this topic when a guy at a store talked about the fact that his wife wanted a second dog & he wasn’t sure. He had a female Cocker Spaniel & a neighbor had its litter mate, so she had a part time playmate already. Honestly that is perfect for some […]
#148. Is Intelligence in a Pet Really Important?
I had a different blog topic I thought I would write about this week, but yesterday was our outdoor Freedom service at church & when service is outside I take my dog Hunter with. Someone asked me if he pointed, I said oh you see the German Short-haired Pointer in him, he said oh yeah. […]
#147. Is Your Cat Drinking Enough Water?
I decided to write about this after having a conversation with my coworker ( above is her handsome cat Onyx, who is about 5 years old). I am allergic to cats now, but had cats all the years as I was growing up. I had my own cat for 18 1/2 years, from her birth […]
#146. Where Do Pet Store Puppies Really Come From?
I often get the idea of what to write about because of something someone said, did or I saw recently. This past week I was talking to a lady & mentioned how I adopted my dogs from a neighboring state during COVID. I told her I had been in rescue, but most of the dogs […]
#145: Seizures: My Experience with My Dog Sam. Part 2
Sam came into my home in the summer of 2002 as my 5th foster dog. He actually had been in the rescue in March of that year when I first saw his photo. I wanted to foster him, but I had my 1st foster dog Molly & wasn’t prepared to have two & he already […]

143. My Dog Jumps on People, How Can I Stop This?
For me whether a dog is 10 lbs or 100 lbs I don’t like it when a dog jumps on me. I have a rule when I meet dogs that I call “4 on the floor.” Which means if all for paws are not on the ground I ignore them. Now a 10 lb dog […]
#142. Anal Glands: Help For Your Dog
I decided to blog about this topic because my dog Echo had been scooting on his behind & licking his anus. Echo has good formed stools & eats a grain-free diet with some foods added in from time to time. Almost a year ago he had to see the Veterinarian because he was obviously not […]
#141. Things a Senior or Mature Person Should Consider Before Getting a Pet.
I usually write about things I see or hear about or maybe someone has asked me about. This post was because I have several people I know of that are getting older & have recently adopted puppies. Not that this is a bad thing in many cases, but in some cases I don’t think it […]
#140. Do You Know What is Really in Your Cat’s Food?
I am not a cat owner any longer because I am allergic to cats & it is getting worse the older I get. I like cats & miss that I can’t pet them or even be near them for very long. I am aware that many of my readers may have cats or have loved […]
