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 […]

#126. What is the Best Dog Breed for My Family & I?
This AM I wasn’t sure what I would blog about tonight, but on my way back to work at lunchtime I saw a lady carrying her dog. I couldn’t tell for sure while driving but it was either a French Bulldog or a pug. I could see it was a short nose breed dog & […]
125. “Designer” Dog Breeds
It seems like “designer” dog breeds have become a breed, I hear “I have a Golden doodle” like it is a breed & not a cross of a Golden Retriever & a Poodle (meaning it is mix or mutt). Before Poodle crosses were popular there were other breeds that were mixed to come up with […]
