Any cat owner knows that while felines might not be as high maintenance as dogs, they still require a lot of attention and playtime to be happy. I learned the hard way that they don’t much care if you’re tired or not in the mood when they want to play. Simply petting them won’t be enough.

Undoubtedly you have heard a dog communicating at some point or another. They can easily do this by howling to signify their location for others. Considering dogs are direct ancestors of wolves; this behavior truly comes as no surprise. However, there are those breeds of dogs that are not known to howl. So if you have a dog that is not a known howler, then it may be necessary to take your dog for a veterinarian checkup if this is behavior they start without any warning.
Having a pet is an amazing thing that definitively changes your life for the better. But what happens when you want to go for a walk in the park with your furry friend but you also have to do some shopping.

These are actual conversations I have with our 1.5-year-old English Shepherd, Daisy. Note, I am interpreting Daisy’s barks, expressions, and intonation. But these are all true!
I’m singing to Daisy, who is standing next to her ball.
Me: Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true.
Me: I’m half crazy all for the likes of you!
(Daisy rolls her eyes)
Daisy: Just kick the ball to me.
Daisy: Oh, and don’t quit your day job.
We love our dogs like family and would love to have the opportunity to be with them all day long. But, sometimes it’s just not practical. After all, we have to earn a paycheck to pay for our living expenses and, of course, our favorite pups.

Every dog owner likes to buy gifts for their pooch, and most dogs end up with their own toy box full of playthings. Often these toys need to be thrown away because the dog has chewed them. Perhaps the stuffing is coming out, and the ears have been ripped off. Sometimes the toys are left unsafe for a dog. No surprise then, that dog owners are always on the lookout for toys which are almost indestructible. Certainly, we all want toys that our dogs simply cannot destroy.
