Grieving Our Pets Death
Our pets give us so much. They entertain us, listen to our secrets, and give us unconditional love. Losing a pet can leave us with a muddle of other feelings in addition to the sadness: anger, anxiety about other problems we couldn?t address because we were so busy caring for our sick pet, and even guilt, especially if your pet died suddenly or of an unknown cause. We may think to ourselves, ?My pet trusted me to take care of him/her. Should I have taken him/her to the vet sooner?? Or maybe we are not convinced our pet got the right medical attention. Losing a pet can also bring up pain from previous losses we have experienced.

Introducing a New Puppy into a Home with an Existing Pet
It was November and I had spent 3 months searching for just the right puppy. Finally we had found what we considered to be the perfect one. Luckily she was already 7 weeks old so she could already be separated from her mother. I was so excited when we brought her home, our new addition to the family. I made sure I had all the required supplies; food and water dishes, food, a bed and a crate. We were ready. The fact that we already had a cat never really caused me much concern. I figured they would give each other a good sniff and surely it would not take long for them to become the best of friends and live happily ever after. I had visions of our little puppy all curled up with our cat in front of the fireplace.

Dog Vaccinations - What You Need to Know to Protect Your Dog
Almost all communities in the U.S. require at least one shot
for your dog or puppy, and that's rabies. The rabies vaccine
should be given when the puppy is twelve to sixteen weeks
old, and then another one year later. Following, he'll need
just one every three years. At around eight to sixteen weeks
of age, the puppy's natural immunity from its mother's milk
has worn off and it becomes at risk to a number of
environmental hazards. For an older dog (above one year
old), follow the same regimen as for a puppy. Be sure that
you have proof that your dog or puppy has had his required
rabies shot.
Crate Training Your Puppy or Dog
Introducing your puppy to the crate should be an easy and fun process. First, start by putting the crate somewhere the puppy enjoys being. Try the family room or wherever everyone "hangs out". Open the door and just let your puppy explore at his own pace. Reward him for going near it by tossing a cheerio or some other small treat.

Problem Barking-What to Do When Your Dogs Barking is The Neighborhood Nuisance
Puppies and dogs, as mentioned, are social creatures. When
they don't get the attention they need, then a bark is their
method of telling you something. It's your job to figure out
the reasons behind the barking and then ease the tension of
whatever is causing your puppy or dog to do so. At the
same time, you are also teaching him that barking (in certain
situations) isn't acceptable behavior. If you do not take such
training seriously, you may not get thrown out of the
neighborhood, but you may receive a visit from the police
regarding animal ordinances!
