4 The Love Of Animals

MAY 14, 2013

No dog is happier to be rescued. My human kept me in an enclosed porch because, let’s face it, I was crawling with fleas and pretty filthy. She put a dog bed outside with some food and water, and I’d see her checking on me about every five minutes. We dogs are wired by nature to be humans’ companions.

I rejoined my local animal shelter's volunteer program a few months ago (long story as to why I quit in the first place). One day while I was volunteering I met a little pit bull puppy who was recovering from a spaying. Very sweet and gentle animal (I have a soft spot for pits.and pugs!) But I'm no dog expert.

A bored puppy is an unhappy puppy, and possibly a destructive puppy. Dogs are intelligent animals. Your dog’s wild cousins such as the dingo and the coyote need to use their cleverness to find and capture food. As a result, even games of catch give your puppy more to think about. Dog Smart Toy.

When I agreed to read and review Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's THE DOG WHO COULDN'T STOP LOVING (Harper 2010), the regal Charles Hobson Booger, III was still with us. He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by. And the crying would never stop.

A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer. And now that I've read Animal Equality and begun Speciesism , I think I know why. Dunayer devotes a chapter each to the language used in hunting, zoos, "marine parks," vivisection and "animal agriculture."

With all the choices out there, how can we know what makes a balanced dog food or cat food ? Protein helps support lean muscle tissue for adult pets, and for puppies and kittens, protein nourishes growing muscle tissue. It’s very important to get the right balance of protein (humans take note for your diet too)!

One problem many dog owners find a concern and nuisance is maintaining their dog’s fur. Fleas come in large quantities and can make your dog’s life a living hell. They spread and bite your dog, not only causing great irritation and itching, but can do great damage to their skin, which can be worsened by scratching.

But it wasn’t founded to serve as a refuge for human refugees, but animal ones, specifically elephants. The park was created as much to protect the local communities from marauding elephants with a hatred of dangerous humans and a lack of interest in the differences between nations as it was to protect the elephants.

Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Save the Planet: Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it reduces demand for purebred animals, which are more likely to have medical problems due to genetic abnormalities. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized.

Violet Rays is not a kid dog. So when we adopted a human baby we knew we'd have to teach that human to avoid Violet. The growing little human in the house was basically taught to stay far away from dogs and respect their space. I have no idea how anyone has more than one human child. And he's child friendly.
