There are SOOO many different dog breeds out there, and even more are being created!!! So, which dog breed fits your life style? First, you have to decide what size dog you want(remember, the bigger the dog is, the more food it's going to eat, the poop is bigger, etc.). If you live in an apartment, a smaller dog is probably a better choice than a Saint Bernard. Once you have decided on a size that is good for your family, then you should look at temperament, energy, trainability, and whatever else you have a concern for. There are a lot of "Dog Breed Selectors/Quiz". I have done just about every single one of them out there, and I would say my favorite is the Animal Planet "Dog Breed Selector". It asks good questions, and doesn't take very long to answer. Almost no dog is going to be a 100% perfect match. And make sure to check the "Runner Uppers", also. I just did this test again(I usually get different answers every time, unless you mark the sam...

So, it's almost school time, and then the kids are gone for 6-7 hours, and the parents are at work for about the same time, maybe more. So what does Fido do all day? Is Fifi going to get lonely? What about Bella's separation anxiety? What if Stanley forgets to go outside to do his business? These are all common questions and worries all we pet parents have when its "Back to School" time. Some people say that your dog should only be left alone for 2 hours. But my dog, Daisy, can stay at the house by herself all day, if she had to! Of course, she must get bored napping on the couch, napping on my bed, and sunning herself outside. I mean, what else does she do?!?!?! She probably gets lonely too. But my mom works close to home, and my dad only works part time, so she gets some attention, at least.  But some in some families, parents work all the time, and/or can't come home to eat lunch, so Buddy is left home all all day, all alone! So some people turn to doggy day c...

So the fair came to my town! My family doesn't ever go to the fair to ride on rides, or eat all that junk they sell, or get our fortunes told, or anything else like that. We go to see the 4-H bunnies and the dogs that jump in the pool to fetch a ball, and to go to the photo gallery. This was the first time I entered a photo in the fair, so I didn't think I would get a prize. But things turned out a little differently than I expected! My dad's a photographer, so he helped me get the lighting right and stuff like that. Guess what my subject was: Daisy!!(duh!)!!! So I shot a few pics of her, and then she jumped onto the ottoman by the front window, and the lighting was PERFECT!!!! So while she was looking at my brother, I snapped a shot!!!!! PERFECTO!!!! My dad helped me touch her up(on the computer0, but we could only do little adjustments because we were entering it in the fair. Fast-forward a few days. Tonight we all went to the fair, and we met up with some friends and, o...

My dog, Daisy, gets out a lot! We usually can see her across the street, but if we can't find her for a while, I start to get panicky(which is when I have to pray and ask God to help me stay calm)! So after we found her(across the street), my dad found this thing called a "Tile". It is not a finished product, but it will be out in a little bit. Anyway, a "Tile" is this device that u can put on anything(keys, purses, runaway dogs, etc.) that you REALLY don't want to lose. So my dad thought it would be good to get one to put on Daisy's collar. So I was telling my mom about it, and she said "Maybe, but how about getting her microchipped?" "Well, usually vets do that when dogs or cats are getting spayed/neutered. Besides, some people think animals get cancer from them." So then she asked me to look it up. And I found  http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/microchips-pet/  . If you click on the link, you can read all about microchipping. I...
