What Would Our Lives Be Like without Dogs?





What do you think your life would be like without a dog or two in it? There would be so many things that we would miss. We would not have a dog that happily greets us every time we come home. We would not have a dog to share our deepest secrets with and not share them with anyone. Psychiatrist’s would have plenty of clients!

Some of us would not have our best friend to snuggle with albeit on the couch, floor or in bed. We would not have the comfort of calming down when we pet our dog(s). Many of us would have much higher blood pressure, that is for sure!

Who would some of you walk with to get your daily exercise? Or would you exercise at all?

Playing Frisbee and catch with a ball in the backyard would be no more. If you have young children you could play with them. If you don’t, you are out of luck. Two adults would not go out to the backyard very often to play catch with a ball or Frisbee.

Who would look at us with those almost human-like eyes as if to say, “I’m sorry.” Or “I love you.”

Who would think we were the best thing there is in this world? Who would absolutely love us unconditionally no matter what? You got it--your dog.

There are a lot of things we would miss if there were no dogs. Give your dog a big old hug and let him/her know just how much you appreciate them!

Teacup Poodles




Teacup Poodles are highly intelligent. These dogs are one of the easiest breeds to train. The Teacup Poodle is sweet, lively, cheerful and perky. These dogs truly enjoy being with people.

Make sure you exercise your Teacup Poodle or he/she may become high strung as well as timid. You may have a Toy Poodle in an apartment as your small dog can exercise around the home versus having to go outdoors. Most Teacup Poodles need a daily walk as they have the primal instinct to walk. If your home is large enough you may walk your dog inside, otherwise a nice walk outdoors is recommended. Make sure you walk ahead of your dog or he/she is at the side of you. You want to establish to your dog that you are the leader of the pack.

If you do not establish that you and others in your family are the leader of the pack, your dog may snap if they are teased or surprised by something.

This dog can develop Small Dog Syndrome if it is let to. You must let the Teacup Poodle know that you are the leader of the pack. Otherwise, with Small Dog Syndrome the dog will have horrible actions trying to tell the human/humans what to do. These actions include excessive barking, growling, snapping, guarding and untrustworthy. These dogs will also be sensitive, reserved, nervous and display obsessive barking around strangers. Save yourself the hassle by being a firm yet caring dog owner.

The height is 9 inches or less.
Weight is under 6 pounds.
Average life: 12 to 15 years.

How Did You Choose Your Dog?





When you decided you wanted to have a dog as a companion for yourself and/or your family, what made you choose the dog you currently have?

Did you go to an animal shelter and choose the dog with the biggest personality? The dog that gave you the saddest big brown eyes that was calm and content when you petted him?

Maybe you inherited a stray dog. A dog that just kept hanging around your neighborhood. You felt bad for it and gave him some food and water. You know you should not do this, but how can you help but not feed the dog?

If you do find a stray dog with no tags, you can call your Town Hall or City Hall to find out what you are supposed to do. You will have to answer a few questions such as where you found the dog, if it is calm or so frightened it may bite. It is wise to return the dog as it deserves a chance to find its master. If 2 weeks or so goes by and no call regarding the dog, most places let you have the choice to adopt the dog.

You may have chosen your dog due to the fact that your friend’s dog had puppies. You and your children fell in love with them. You all chose your favorite dog and re-voted to see which dog to take home.

A loved one may have passed away and had no one to take care of the dog when she was gone.

You may have chosen a large dog so you feel protected. It is a known fact that criminals break in much less to houses with dogs.

You may have chosen a small dog because you wanted a dog to cuddle on the couch with. Your small dog will alert you better by barking due to a stranger.

Some folks get a dog to help themselves exercise more. It is almost a guarantee that you will walk your dog which benefit’s the both of you. You will become more healthy, tone up, possibly lose weight and feel better.

Feel free to share your story! No matter what the reason is for choosing your dog, we are sure you both are happy being together.

Fly Your Pet on Vacation with You!





If you are planning on a vacation and want to take your dog or cat, you can. You do not have to put your beloved pet in a kennel. You do not have to try to find someone to baby-sit your pet and hope that they do not back out at the last minute. Talk about stress! Many times when you go on vacation you cannot wait to come home after a day or two just so you can see your dog or cat.

The first step is to plan your trip and stay at a pet friendly hotel room all over the USA. You can book your hotel in the country or countries you are planning on visiting as well.

The second step is to book a private charter jet. You do not want to fly your pet in a possibly unsafe area in a commercial airplane. Fly private charter jet and your pet will be right by you. You and your pet will have peace of mind being right next to each other. You will have to keep your pet on a leash for safety reasons.

When flying a private charter jet you can request items to make yourself and your dog or cat comfortable. Any food, water or other beverages may be requested. Do you want a catered meal? You sure can. You can even ask for certain foods that you desire.

A private charter jet will let you choose the date and time you want to leave for your vacation. You do not have to schedule your plans around the airline. Never again will you have to fly a red eye flight if you do not want to.

Keep your beloved pet with you when you go on vacation. You will be pleased that you did.

Arthritis and Your Dog




Is your dog getting up in his years of age? If so, he may become the victim of dog arthritis. Just as in humans arthritis is painful to your dog. He may walk slower, he may get up from a sitting or lying down position slower as well. It may start to become more and more difficult for your dog to walk up the stairs. If you let your dog up on your bed or other furniture it may be too hard for your dog to come up by you anymore due to the stiffness and pain.

You can order your beloved dog some dog arthritis pain medication. Speak to your vet about what you should do to help your dog. You can also buy your dog an orthopedic dog bed. You will let your dog sleep in comfort. You will have peace of mind knowing you are helping your sweet dog as he ages.

If you do buy your dog an orthopedic bed, make sure you buy the appropriate size dog bed for your dog to get the maximum benefit of the dog bed. If you are not sure what size to buy your dog--simply make sure that the orthopedic dog bed is larger than your dog. He will feel much more comfortable if he has room to stretch.

You may choose a heated orthopedic dog bed. This will help with the joint stiffness and joint pain.

It is wise to choose an orthopedic dog bed that has a cover that comes off for easy washing. You do not want to choose a dog bed that has to have the entire bed washed. For one thing it may not even fit into your washing machine and dryer. Plus, it may fall apart if the entire bed needs to be put in the washing machine.

Choose a high quality orthopedic dog bed so that it will last your dog for many years to come.

Spend Time with Your Dog






It is important to spend time with your dog. Your dog loves companions. Your dog loves to be pet. Your dog just wants your attention. There are many things you can do to spend time with your dog.

You can go for a walk with your dog each day. Even if you walk for only 20 minutes, you and your dog will benefit from the exercise and time spent together.

You and your dog can take a nap together. If you allow your dog on your furniture the two of you can snuggle on the couch. Watch a TV show or two together and give your dog a pet here and there. Talk to your dog. If you do not allow your dog on the furniture you can set your dog’s bed right by you at the foot of the couch. Your dog is still close to you. You are your dog’s favorite person in the entire world and he or she thrives on your attention.

Training your dog is a great way to spend time together. Make sure your dog knows how to sit and stay before trying to teach him/her any other tricks.

Take your dog to the park once a week to run and play with you. Maybe you live near a dog park. This is a great way to meet other people and your dog can meet other dog friends as well. Dogs run in packs so they do enjoy meeting other dogs although there are some dogs that just do not get along with other dogs. You can try while your dog is on a leash. If your dog still growls and is having a terribly stressful time, at least you tried. Do things alone with your dog instead.

Have fun with your dog. He or she is here for you only for a short time so make the most of it!

You have a busy life. You may have a career and a family. You need to take care of your family and yourself as simple as possible. Time is getting less and less when it comes to getting everything done.

You need to have an organized schedule to keep your household running smoothly. Perhaps Mondays and Tuesdays you already have dinner prepared as you prepare them ahead of time on Sunday afternoons. Wednesday may be your grocery shopping day. Thursday may be the day you clean your bathrooms and kitchen. Friday may be your family night where you order out pizza. Hopefully Saturday is time for you and your spouse and family. Your schedule includes that each day you need to walk your dog. This not only helps your dog get exercise but it also is good for your health, too.

You need to have extra things in your life simple to accomplish. If your dog needs dog insurance and a new collar you can go to a website that has both of them on. You will save time trying to search for dog websites that have one or the other dog product on.

You can easily click on the dog products you want and pay for them. The dog products will ship right to your front door. Once you complete this, you have easily just taken care of your beloved family dog.
