4 The Love Of Animals

Having puppies isn’t a fun science experiment. Not only will you need to provide medical care to your female dog; you’ll also have to deworm and vaccinate the puppies, as well as intervene if they have any health problems. It’s extremely expensive.

Everyone knows that young puppies keep you up all night, have to be let out to go to the bathroom every couple of hours, have accidents all over the house, chew on everything they can get their paws on (including cats), and don’t like being left alone at ALL. But how do you puppy-proof your home for your new family member?

For kittens and puppies, most any time is play time. Older pets still need love and attention, but they don’t require babysitting like a frisky puppy or curious kitten. When I look into the eyes of a senior dog, I see a world of experience and wisdom. The same is true for our pets. Laid-back lifestyle. Wisdom of the ages.

At an NYC puppy shelter a few weeks ago, my mind was just about made up when I met Chester – The cutest Lab puppy I’d ever seen. Hopefully sharing my learning experience at the shelter will help you make informed decisions when they’re ready to adopt. The following is a guest post from Kevin Sloan.

The first episode featured three dogs: Noche, a terrier who displayed food and people aggression; Willa, a puppy mill rescued Scottie with neurological problems and a cute wobble; and Wiley, a rescued dog who loses a leg because of a hit-and-run. My hands-on experience is with small mammals/critters and cats.

The author, Jeffery Masson, draws on recent scientific research, and of course his own personal experiences through his bond with his beloved dog Benjy to find out why, we have such close bonds with dogs.

See TIME’s photo essay “ Puppies Behind Bars “ Henry the schnoodle just did a remarkable thing. Horowitz and other scientists are now running experiments to determine what a behavior, like a kiss, really means. Even puppies understand, which means it can’t be a skill they need to learn.

I don't disagree with Herbert, but what if I wrote: Most people don't want to hear about the capacity of nonhumans to experience pain, pleasure, boredom or frustration, and President Obama would rather walk through fire than do anything other than acquire a pure breed puppy or pardon a turkey on Thanksgiving (though that one remains to be seen).

Still, it is a story worth telling, simply because there will be some of you who are in the position I was a few months ago, and even if you don’t agree with my final decision to give up on one of my dogs, my experience will hopefully open up a conversational space for multiple pet owners who find themselves struggling.

For new puppies that are under the age of 1-year, many vets will recommend probiotics, which can be purchased online via a Canadian drug store and dispensed in your pet’s food in order to establish gut balance and good digestion early on. If your pet experiences any of the symptoms above, they may have developed a food allergy.

Having run beside many other dogs and handlers before I met the puppy who would become my partner, I knew this kind of collaboration existed, this necessary dialogue. Experience is the best teacher, we’re told, but sometimes past experience can be misleading. Past experience? Avoid Hasty Conclusions.

My experience says otherwise (particularly with my childhood kitty, Brady), but generally speaking Masson's depiction of cats is accurate. The fact that if puppies don't get enough love when they are young means they aren't likely to grow into dogs like Benjy explains a lot about greyhounds who are bred, trained and forced to race.
