Le spring break compte à rebours est lancé! Maintenant est le moment idéal pour planifier ce que vous allez faire vos valises pour les prochains jours de plaisir au soleil à la plage.

Avant de vous emballer, il ya quelques choses à garder à l'esprit. Garder le sac de plage d'emballage à un minimum. Alors que vous pourriez être tenté d'apporter tous vos objets préférés, en réalité, vous n'aurez probablement pas besoin d'eux. De plus, vous ne voulez pas avoir à les transporter partout avec…

How do you do it? 

I get asked this question all the time. Why? Because right now I have 5 little dogs sitting at my feet. Okay so they are not at my feet, one is right next to me, one is in her little house on the other side of the room, two are on the floor, and the other has decided to make camp on the loveseat across from me. Ohh, then there are the two cats somewhere inside the house, and the other 3 "big" dogs outside.

But to me it is very simple. They are my children and…

Over the weekend my husband was out of town, so it was just me and the cats. We had a great time on Friday night. I had work to do and the cats spent the evening doing what they love to do:

Then it was time for bed. I decided to sleep in our guest room because the cats are not allowed in our bedroom (my husband is allergic and needs to have a few cat-free rooms in our home). This was going to be a night to remember.

The cats kept me up all night. I hated it and…

“ComPETability: Solving Behavior Problems In Your Multi-Cat Household”, by Amy Shojai, is part of a series to help those who have multi-pet households. It was published by FurryMuse Publications in 2012. As the title suggests, this book is a resource for those who have more than one cat. As Ms. Shojai is a pet behaviorist, she is more than qualified in this area. Years ago she began her crusade for animals by becoming a veterinary technician. Almost naturally, she became a pet writer.…

Cats make excellent pets. I would know because I have three of them! Although there arenumerous reasons to get a dog or another type of pet, there are also plenty of reasons to get a  cat!

Many of us take our best pals to a variety of classes such as obedience, good manners or how to walk on a leash. Our dogs participate in activities including agility, rally and fly ball. They become service dogs, working dogs and audiences for young readers.

We teach our dogs to sit, weave and retrieve. We reward them for listening attentively and following directions.…

You love animals, you love exercise, and you need a job. If this sounds familiar, then you have everything it takes to be a professional dog walker. While it might not be the most glamorous career out there, dog walkers provide an important service by keeping pooches healthy and happy while their owners are away. And with the demand for professional dog walker skyrocketing in busy cities like New York and Los Angeles, it’s easy to turn this small-time job into a lucrative and booming…

The kittens *love* sitting in boxes. What is it about cardboard that they love so much? See the rest of the post and photos here: …

I am really looking forward to going to BlogPaws 2013, my very first "dog in tow" conference adventure. I've been to conferences before, but never with my dog!

I am also a puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence and Melba, my service pup in training, will be with me. This will be a great experience for her to practice very long sits and downs while ignoring distractions. Looking forward to meeting new friends and learning a lot!

Justice: after three months he's almost kissing me - WHAT!?!

Steady Progress

I cannot tell you how happy I am to continue telling Justice's story filled with so many successes. It seems…

If you buy a puppy from a pet store, could you be getting more than you bargained for? It has long been thought that puppies from pet shops might have behavioural problems. A new study by Franklin D. McMillan et al investigates this by comparing puppies from pet stores to those from non-commercial breeders...

When planning a vacation or a weekend away do you plan your cat’s vacation as well? Since cats like consistency of routine and the familiarity of their own home they do not make good travel partners. However, although seemingly independent, leaving them alone for long periods of time is not advisable since their curiosity can get them into trouble or an emergency situation in the home could become a dangerous situation.

Two Dobermans in brooklyn received an unfortunate blow two months ago; their owner passed away without leaving family behind, or having made provisions for the dogs. Justice is 14 and Jool is 8, and they are very much attached to one another. The dogs are currently safe, and Illinois Doberman Rescue will be able to take them on if no home in or near Brooklyn can be found, but as might be imagined, they don't want to stress them more with undue travel.…
