How strange that people steal dogs to sell for money. Unfortunately one of the stolen dogs was hit by a car. I was thinking when looking for stories today that I was sad that there were so many stories about dogs getting killed or stolen. That’s not really what I want to talk about. But [...]
This article is about an exciting turn of events that all dog owners should know about. In Massachusetts they recently passed a law saying that antifreeze and other pleasant tasting toxic chemicals must have a bittering agent added to them.

Take Responsibilty For Your Dog It’s always a good reminder to take responsibility for your dog, even for us owners of small dogs. Believe me, I know it’s hard, I live in an apartment and have no backyard to let my dog loose in, so we have to go out together a few times a [...]
