Or technically, the "Teenage Dog 5". Last week, I began to notice that Snickers, my 20 month old "puppy" was looking a little, shall we say, "thicker"? So we got on the scale this morning and sure enough, she's gone from 42 lbs up to 47 lbs since the last time I weighed her, which was probably in October. Yikes!
Pet Blogger Challenge 2014
The following Q&A's are in response to the Fourth Annual Pet Blogger Challenge, sponsored by GoPetFriendly.com and Will My Dog Hate Me? This Challenge attracts folks from across the world and I expect it to be a great forum to learn from and connect with other bloggers.
......at the end of this post will be a "Blog Hop", which is a shared list of links to all of the other bloggers participating in the challenge (see, I've learned something new already!) There are some really interesting blogs and websites included here, so please feel free to check any or all of them out!
Engagement Series #1: Building Blocks to Engagement
"Look at how he tilts his head and listens to everything you say....how do you get him to do that?
Over the years, I've heard this question a lot when people meet my dogs. And for a long time, I didn't have a good answer.
Engagement Series #2: I am the ICE CREAM MAN!
I've never understood using the phrase "it's a dog's life" to describe a dreadful, overworked, oppressive existence. Those adjectives do NOT describe the life of most of the dogs I know! Dogs just want to have fun and if you become the source of their fun, it goes a long way towards having that well-behaved dog who listens and does everything you ask.
Savvy Dog Defined
I was deathly afraid of dogs as a child. According to my parents, I could spot a dog blocks away and, as only a 3 year old can do, have a full blown meltdown. They suspected my fear began when a friend's German Shepherd nipped me, but they don't know for sure. When asked at church about my little scratch, I did proclaim "that damn Corky did it".
