Dressed up Dogs

Recently we had Elvis sporting his sheep dog costume, and now it’s time for another farm yard costume. This time it’s Buddy, dressed up like a donkey. This costume has cute little ears, a tail (not seen in the picture) and a little tuft of hair. I must admit that Buddy doesn’t really look so happy with his outfit, but maybe we caught him on a bad day or something.

Cheer up Bud !

Winning the cuteness award this week, is Shawn, aka. Elvis the pug. He’s dressed up in a sweet sheep costume, that comes with horns ! Not only will Elvis look classy on the streets, but he will also be kept warm during the cold snaps. Elvis wants to take his costume out into the woods to see if he can trick any sheep, but that will have to wait for another day.

Your dog also has a birthday, just like you. And because of this it should be celebrated too. Here is a picture of Marty at his first birthday, as you can see he is over the moon with joy, and is smiling from ear to ear.
While we don’t recommend that you feed your dog cake, here are some food ideas for your pets eat :

• an especially big bone
• some doggie treats
• a juicy filet steak.

Here is a nice poster that was send to us recently, thanks Bradley ! It outlines 10 important rules for taking care of your dog throughout his life. These will help you be a better pet owner.

For Pet Owners

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me. Do not break my spirit with your temper, though I will always forgive you. Your patience will teach me more effectively.
3. Please have me spayed or neutered.
4. Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for your kindness than mine. Don’t be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up as punishment. After all, you have your job, your friends, your entertainment. I have only you.
5. Speak to me often. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it’s speaking to me. Your voice is the sweetest sound I ever hear, as you must know by my enthusiasm whenever I hear your footsteps.
6. Take me in when it’s cold and wet. I’m a domestic animal and am no longer accustomed to the bitter elements. I ask for little more than your gentle hands petting me. Keep my bowl filled with water. Feed me good food so that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding. By your side, I stand ready, willing and able to share my life with you, for that is what I live for. I’ll never forget how well you’ve treated me.
7. Don’t hit me. Remember, I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I’ve been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. For you will grow old, too.
10. When I am old, or when I no longer enjoy good health, please do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having fun. Just see to it that my trusting life is taken gently. And be with me on that difficult journey when it’s time to say goodbye. Never say, “I just can’t bear to watch.” Everything is easier for me when you are there. I will leave this earth knowing with my last breath that my fate was always safest in your hands. I love you.

When your a dog it’s important to look smart. Here is our friend Sandy in a cute denim dog outfit. This in fact is her favourite dog costume. She likes to wear it as often as possible, and it’s especially good for the Autumnal time of year, when a normal summer dog dress is just to cold Sandy enjoys long beach walks, and meeting (and smelling) other dogs. She would like to get into modelling on a more professional basis, so all you talent scouts pay attention !

Words fail us when we look saw the picture of this dog. We are not exactly sure as to what type of dog it is (it might even be a cat), and we are really confused as to how they got this animal brushed this way.
Either way, I’m sure foxy is a happy pooch and enjoys scaring as many people  as possible with his new dog hair do. 
This hair style would be particularly good if you didn’t want anyone rubbing your dog. We’ve noticed that some people are a little possessive about allowing other people to rub their dogs. Do you allow people to rub yours ?

It’s amazing the things that dogs put in their mouths. Here is a really cute shot of little Shelly eating her dad’s big toe. Other things she likes tasting are shoes, the sides of doors, and carpets. When dogs are young, they will like to taste everything, a bit like a small child. Once a dog starts to get older you should definitely take steps to stop them from destroying your home. You might want to read some of our articles on dog care. Training your dog to listen to your commands is very important, and you can start this straight away when you get a new puppy. Dogs are never too young to learn the difference between right and wrong.

What does your pooch like to taste ?

Andi is a little corgi puppy, and loves to sleep as much as possible. She finds all manner of paces to sleep, here she was earlier this week sleeping in the middle of the floor. She needs to learn that sleeping in a place with high traffic isn’t the best place to sleep for a small dog.

I wonder what Andi the Corgi is dreaming of ? What do dogs dream of ? Do dogs dream ?

Snoop really likes BIG GULPS, and particularly likes lemonade. But how could you tell a dog like this that he shouldn’t be sneaking some of your soda? Snoop enjoys car rides, sticking his head out the widow, and barking at yellow post boxes and yellow cars.

Woof !
