What Is Dog Flipping?
Can you imagine letting your dog out and after a few minutes wondering why he hasn’t barked at the door to be let in only to find he is gone!!! The chain is laying on the ground, the gate is closed to the fence, no one has seen your sweet pup and there is no sign of your pet anywhere. You know he has been stolen and panic sets in! Pet Theft Awareness Day — a day created by Last Chance For...
Road Dogs and Rescue
I’m very excited to talk about an interview that I did with Alyssa Thai, Social Media Marketing for Road Dogs and Rescue at https://www.roadogsandrescue.org. I contacted Road Dogs via a direct message through Instagram wanting to know more about the organization and how I could help spread the word on saving the lives of these poor animals left starved, sick, and abandoned. Alyssa was so kind...
Dying Your Dog’s Fur; Cute or Cruel?
Thomas and I went into town this weekend for lunch and the Pittsburgh Auto Show at the David Lawrence Convention Center. If you have never been to a car show, I think it is something fun to try especially if you are in the market for a new car like we are. We don't get into the city much but when we do, we see some sights and this weekend I saw some very colorful dogs. I have to say that I'm...

What Is Hydrocephalus?
What is Hydrocephalus in dogs and cats? I have an instagram account full of adorable dogs that make me smile. I also follow organizations that take in dogs with disabilities, put them into foster care to be cared for until they find them forever homes. I am friends with dog owners who have dedicated their lives to adopting dogs with disabilities. I admire all of these people who love these...
When To Make The Decision To Euthanize Your Pet
I don’t always have a topic in mind when I sit down to write a blog post. Sometimes I refer back to my notes that I keep on blog post ideas and sometimes, they arrive to me out of the blue. Today is one of them. I was walking through Walmart this morning with my sister and talking about a blog topic when we saw one of our veterinarians. My sister started telling me about a new business he...
Aujeszky’s Disease In Dogs
I recently noticed that Jake’s left ear was red and swollen and after a trip to the vet, he has the start of an ear infection and some yeast was showing during the swab test. During Jake’s visit, I had a conversation with my vet about what I was feeding the dogs and fortunately for me and them, I am not feeding them pork. Not only does pork cause severe allergic reactions in dogs, eating...
Are Gentle Lead Head Harnesses Effective?
I recently posted pictures of Jake and Maggie on Instagram that were taken during one of our walks around our neighborhood. In those pictures, they are wearing a gentle lead head harness no pull lead that I bought from Chewy.com. These leads were used in our training sessions with our trainers and were recommended to us to help train the dogs not to pull. I was called out negatively on social...
