The other day we had our neighbor join us on our walk. She got to walk Gracie, since I won't let anyone else walk me, BOL! Good thing we had our neighbor with us, because Gracie found something on the ground and was very interested ... Thankfully our friend instantly knew it wasn't good for her. It was a Mutillidae, which some folks call a velvet ant, or cow killer ant. Pic to the left is the one we saw, blurry 'cause Mum was trying to keep us all away and get a BB pic too, BOL! ...

Protective Aggression In Dogs

Published June 23, 2010 at 6:57 p.m.

Recently, I was asked about a dog who started nipping at people who enter its home.  With a new baby in the house, the owners assumed the little watch dog is 'protecting' the new member of the family.  I'm afraid this is not the case.  Protective aggression is a a manifestation of fear-based aggression.  In the above scenario, the addition of a human infant has brought many, many changes to the dog's life.  First, the normal routine of sleeping all night, eating and walking at regular

The act of chewing seems to be a matter of individual preference among dogs: some have an innate desire to chew as a pleasurable activity in itself, and some seem to have no need to chew whatsoever unless they’re driven to it out of sheer boredom ... In any case, when chewing is destructive - it's a problem that NEEDS to be address quickly ...

By Grant Carroll ... Measuring your dog's feet for boots is very easy and simple. I know what some of you may be thinking, dog boots? Dogs don't need boots and they don't need their paws covered up. However, think about this, when they're walking on the ice and snow during winter, their feet get cold very easily. They lose a lot of heat through their feet, and when they're walking on the rock salt and de-icing chemicals, it can be very painful for them. Their paws can become dry, cracked and

It’s been proven that dogs, even though they have a natural fur coat, can be subject to frost bite and hypothermia if they stay out too long without clothes for protection. The best way to winterize your canine and get him ready for cold walks is to get him some dog boots and a dog coat. Booties and coats serve many important functions, the most obvious of which is to keep a pooch warm when the
