Many factors need to be considered including breed, size and energy level. Right at the top of the list is the awareness that your new rescue has a shady history, especially if it was a stray. 5) Was the dog a stray or an owner drop off? The decision to add a canine companion to your family is certainly a big one.

, and at the same time not grumpy enough to make them draw their guns (yep – it’s a true story, but do not trust the first impression: they were rough on the outside and soft on the inside, e.g. being fiercely protective of stray dogs and cats – that particular guy kept about five dogs and 15 cats, and they all lived together peacefully).

Knit Your Pet a Sweater—Ok ok, you don’t actually have to knit a sweater from scratch, but dressing your furry friend in warm attire is a great way to keep your pet nice and toasty, especially the smaller and light-fur breeds. Whatever you do you don’t want to shave your pet’s fur—keep it long during the winter.

It’s the result of thousands of years of breeding. While we call them “strays,” implying they just absent-mindedly wandered away from home, most of them are what the rest of the world calls “street” dogs (and cats). That night, I slept well for the first time in my short life. I was safe. Millions of American street dogs (and cats!)

He's right with his implication that stopping the seizing of pets and strays simply created a more efficient, effective means of commodifying and torturing dogs and cats. But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is. But that's now what happened.

According to the Florida Breeding Bird Atlas, the first confirmed breeding record was in Miami in July of 1938. In any case, birders hoping to see Smooth-billed Ani in the ABA area now must hope for single strays to show up in the Florida Keys and along the southeast coast of Florida.

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day, a holiday that offers plenty of excuses for drinking, but few prospects for straying from the well-worn celebratory routines. What’s the eBird breeding code for that?

Breeds with very short fur like Chihuahuas, boxers and greyhounds may have a hard time keeping warm, making even brief walks uncomfortable. If you find a lost or stray pet, please call your local animal control or nearest animal shelter. Not all dogs were born with lush fur coats that keep off the winter chill. Wipe Those Paws.
