Yesterday I saw a Dark-eyed Junco while I was walking my dog. It was the Slate-colored form, of course. I can’t afford to mistake remoteness for value, no matter how cool that Great Gray Owl was, nor can I succumb to nostalgia when I can get on the N train and ride to Bryant Park at will.

Safety Concerns: Eliminating: While many dogs are capable of going extremely long periods of time without eliminating, it’s not a good thing.

There is an initial layout for such items but it is worth remember as your pet becomes part of the family to introduce new accessories to keep them entertained, happy and of course to replace worn items.

I wasn't there and my husband isn't great in a crisis--he stands, mouth agape, completely frozen, and watches whatever train wreck is occurring rather than jumping in to try to help. And the dogs' spirits are high, as they get plenty of attention and stimulation. And so we ended up with this--. Thanks for all of the well wishes.

The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs is a wonderful book that shares what it is like for military dogs.

When I saw the Live Science article about dogs being as smart as 2-year-old kids I knew that if there were any talk of ranking, my beloved greyhounds would be at the less-desirable end of the list (not from personal experience, but from reputation), and I also knew that there would be a whiff of speciesism. Do you think this helps dogs?

Violet Rays is not a kid dog. The growing little human in the house was basically taught to stay far away from dogs and respect their space. Of course not; that's serious business.
