Portland organizations raising funds for pet oxygen masks
What a great idea. It really shows caring for the fire department in Portland to even think of this. Like chief Fred LaMontagne, after the people often the first thing people are concerned about is that their pets are rescued. I know Kody is as important to me as a child, it would be nice [...]
Running With Your Dog
Here are some tips on running with your dog to make sure your dog is also in good enough shape to enjoy running with you. I thought this was interesting because it took me a long time to figure out that my dachshund did not like going on long walks, and certainly wouldn’t enjoy a [...]
Concerns over Dog Responsibility
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 [...]
