BEST THING ABOUT DOGS

DOGS

Dogs believe in us, we are family!
Dogs have true devotion, true trust,
and true friendship, They love unconditionally.
Wow could man learn a thing or two from their Dogs.

Train your dog to like teeth brushing

ALL YOU NEED  IS A SOFT TOOTH BRUSH /PET TOOTH PAST,  HUMAN TOOTHPAST WILL UPSET YOUR DOG'S STOMACH. TREATS AND LOTS TIME AND PATIENTS

TRY TO BRUSH DAILY AT THE SAME TIME DOGS LIKE ROUTINE.
SO START SLOWLY MAYBE ONLY A FEW TEETH A DAY EACH DAY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TEETH YOU BRUSH.

I HAVE HEARD SOME PEOPLE REPLACE PET TOOTHPAST WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOFT FOOD TO START WITH. ONCE YOUR DOG IS LETTING YOU BRUSH DAILY EVEN IF ITS FOR A FEW MINUTES A DAY .

THIS COULD SAVE YOU HUNDREDS DOWN THE ROAD IN VET BILLS.
REMEMBER TO TREAT AND PRAISE
AND BE HAPPY WITH THE BEAUTIFUL SMILE YOUR DOG WILL HAVE!

What can we do to better control our dog's GAS output! (REPOST)

What can we do to better control our dog's GAS output!
                       
FLATULENCE: Excess accumulation of gas in the digestion tract.
Unfortunately Chronic Flatulence needs to be managed because it can cause damage to the intestinal wall and also cause the guts to be bacterial resistance to toxins.

Certain breeds are prone to be a little more gasy, breeds like Bull dogs, Boxers, Bostons, the short muzzles usually means gulping more air while they eat. Using objects in food bowls to slow down eating can help with gulping to much air. Not only does it help with air intake but it helps control choking on food and the possibility of Bloat. 

If you have more then one dog, feeding the dogs separated, help to stop competitive eating. Dogs will down there food faster if they think another dog is going to take their food from them.
Besides air intake, the kibble itself can be the problem, using bigger kibble will  help slow your dog's eating. All kibble also has air in the kibble itself. Soymeal based kibble will produce more gases, also feeding dairy to dogs that maybe lactose-intolerant will inedible cause gas. Try feeding smaller meals more often.

Eating garbage or rotten foods will definitely cause short term flatulence. Having locks for garage cans or not access with be beneficial.

The last comment is also if your dog has soft stool and lots of gas. You may want to get a fecal sample check at the vets for Parasites.

HAGRID

 

2001 TO 2016

 

HAGRID

 

My daughters were 9 and 11 now 24 and 26 when Hagrid first arrived!
 A soccer enthusiast, so he fit right in. He was our protector our friend our family.
We will miss him more then we know, He gave us so much and ask for so little.

 

The poem, authored by Gayl Jokiel, reads as follows:Walk with an Old Dog

 

Because you will not be forever,

Hope against time I may,

I paint your picture in my memory,

Eyes blue with age, muzzle gone grey.

Because you walked with me in springtime,

Puppy-clumsy, running free.

As you grew older we grew together.

You became part of me.

Because you shared with me my sorrows,

Not understanding, simply there.

Often spurring me to laughter,

My friend, you know how much I care.

Because the years have slowed your fleetness,

Though your spirit is still strong.

I promise I will take more time now,

So that you can go along.

Because you do not fear the future,

Living on in the now,

I draw strength from your example,

Yet time keeps slipping by somehow.

Because the day will soon be coming

When I will no longer see,

You rise to greet me, but in my memory,

You will always walk with me.

WE LOVE YOU HAGRID
REST NOW TILL WE MEET AGAIN!
