Many dogs enjoy a day at the beach. They love the sand beneath their paws, the waves lapping and the ocean water beckoning them. It seems like a nice way to spend a summer's day. But before you get in your car and head down to your favorite beach, are you sure your favorite pooch will also be allowed? And if dogs are allowed, are they allowed to run leash-free or is the leash law enforced? The Humane Society of the United States recommends that you do not transport your pet by air unless absolutely necessary. Based on reports received from pet owners, animals continue to be killed, injured, or lost on commercial flights each year. Our pets can face risks including excessively hot or cold temperatures, poor ventilation, scarcity of oxygen, and rough handling when flown in the cargo area of a plane. A coworker brought in an article that ranked dog
breeds based on an "IQ test" which she says proves her
dog is smarter than mine. My Dufus may not be the brightest candle
in the box, but can any test really prove say that one breed is
smarter than another? |

years ago, Jim Davis created Garfield, a fat tabby cat with an attittude
who lives with the pet dog Odie, and and their socially inept owner
Jon Arbuckle. This month, his creation arrives in theatres nationwide
"Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties". Recently Jim Davis
spoke with us, and we asked about Odie! Of course!

Shelters all over the US are filled on July 5th with lost dogs who escaped from yards and even, from inside homes. Once on the street, these distressed dogs become disoriented by the sounds of fireworks and the smell of gunpowder in the air, run for miles until there is no hope of them finding their way back home. How will you keep your dog safe and calm? There are two keys to keep your dog from becoming a July 4 statistic. What does natural preventative care mean? I thought vaccinating, prevention medicines&premium kibble was natural preventative care. Hardly. Unfortunately the pharmaceutical companies and the pet food industry have really pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. It seems as though we barely get our pets to a "settled" place in our lives before they're gone. It doesn't have to be like this. Petting is scratching and rubbing your dog’s body and, of course it feels good to him. It may appear similar to massage, however, the impact is profoundly different. Long ago, we accepted the power of massage for helping us humans deal with stress and imbalances. We have been massaging each other for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, we are using massage to comfort and help our pet animals. "For perhaps, if the truth were known, we're all a little blind, a little deaf, a little handicapped, a little lonely, a little less than perfect. And if we can learn to appreciate and utilize the dog's full potentials, we will, together, make it in this life on earth." - Charlotte Schwartz
