If its as hot where you live as it is where I live, then having your dog or dogs outside for prolonged periods of time is not something I’d recommend.
Here in Ontario it has topped 30 degrees for the past four days or so, weather reserved for the summer which we are experiencing even before the end of May. (more…)
Fascinating story in the news this morning
…
“An animal shelter located on Long Island is looking for donations of viagra to save the life of a sick pit bull dog.
Ingrid is a 6-year-old pit bull, diagnosed with a heart condition that is currently being treated with two daily 50-mg. doses of the popular impidence drug, but supply is running out. (more…)
Well now that the warmer weather is here, my ‘ol buddy Lars is back to running, his favorite pasttime.
As with most acquired skills if one goes for a period of time without performing those said skills, they can tend to lose some ability, the same applies to my 4-legged Oregon orio.
He has lost a lot of his “running” fitness, but is getting out once or twice a week and loves every second of it.
I’d like to get him out more for the sheer reason that he loves to go, but circumstances tend to get in the way so he goes as often as possible.
He has gotten into the habit of knowing when he is about to go, and begging to go, now now now, when the run is pending but not right at hand.
He will start this baby, oh-so-cute whimper that is impossible to ignore and will even do this little bleet thing with every exhale of his “pant” which is also heart wrenching.
He sure does know how to manipulate me into getting what he wants, that little devil:)
