Dogs Are Even More Like Us Than We Thought
Owners of dogs are probably not surprised by the growing research indicating frequently that a dog behaves more like a human than a dog. As dogs can read facial expressions, express jealousy, show empathy, and even watch TV.

Basically, Puppies are Chaos Incarnate
So, my dog Scooter is going to be two years old next month. He’s come a long way, obviously, but it did not start easy. My partner and I picked up Scooter from a friend of his, when he was just 6 weeks old. His mom was scheduled for her spay surgery after her first heat, but their other dog (stray, intact) got to her before that could happen. Spay and neuter your dogs!!!

Train Your Puppy at Home
Adding a puppy to your family is one of the most exciting moments for a dog owner. Watching your puppy explore the world, learn a lot of new things every day and become your best friend is a rewarding and wonderful experience. There are many first things along the way: your first walk, the first swim, the first fetch, the first night without a restroom break, when the dog catches frisbee for the first time, when you make him a patio in your favorite restaurant, when you take him to visit your family the first time. Puppies are cute and fun, but they can also get you hooked. They are not so good when they bite your headphones, have an accident on the expensive carpet in the living room, or bark violently at a fictitious intruder at midnight.

In Life, as with Dogs, the Only Constant is Change
The Puppies! It's been just over a week since they were born, and the puppies have more than doubled in weight. Tumbleweed, the white and tan, is now 10.7 ounces and Sarsaparilla, the black tricolor, is 10.8 ounces. Yuma is becoming annoyed with them, because they are no longer staying where she put them! That's right: they're crawling like little speed demons and disrupting Yuma's orderly world. She likes it best when they are nursing and in one place, even if it means she has to stay still. The video below was taken on April 11, when the puppies were six days old. Yuma still wasn't certain how she felt about me leaving the door open and possibly letting Leela or Yaddle in.

For the love of dog
“Get yourself a dog” they said. “You will love it” they said. The truth is that I am still not sure why I was so resistant at the time. We had dogs as pets in our family growing up – as well as a menagerie of other animals. Both my parents had pet dogs growing up, so it was a normal part of family life. I was now living on my own, out of the family home and my resistance to a pet lasted all of two years until I found him. He stood amongst his sleeping pack and watched me as I moved closer to see him better. Still, I was resistant, and it took another three days before I went back with my sister and her kids to take another look. The pack was let loose, running away from us looking for some way to escape. This one, the one that had eyed me from three days earlier, came and sat at my nephew’s feet. Apparently, we chose each other. Decision made. He came to be named Charlie Boy and became the love of my life in an instant.

Lightening the Mood with Trick Training!
In the Beginning . . . I own terriers, so naturally I'm a glutton for punishment. For that reason, I'm not going to be trick training Widget. I will instead be trick training Widget, Sassi, and Badger, Heaven help me. All three Toy Fox Terriers are at different stages of training. This fact will allow me to share more of what is involved in the process ad how trick training can be used to build a dog's confidence and skills. We'll also be building skills from Bella's Trix "Manners Matter, primarily for Widget and for Sassi. Sassi is, at this very minute, demanding that I get up from writing and feed her, so yeah. Manners . . .
