Puppy Care 101 - Part one

Love this super cute super simple video on getting a puppy. Some great advice from a talking dog cartoon that will help you decide whether a puppy will be right for your family.

So cute I just want to reach through the screen and give him a bully stick.

The Dog New Year’s Resolutions

This year my dog, Bonkers has made a list of New Years Resolutions that unlike past years he actually intends to keep. As a good “Dog Mom” I’m going to do my best to help him accomplish his goals.

Bonkers 2009 New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Start eating Healthier - More all Natural Dog Treats
2. Exercise - More brisk walking less sniffing bushes
3. Better Dental Hygiene - Brushing teeth daily and more Bully sticks (Bonkers likes the Bully sticks…teeth brushing not so much.)
4. More patience and tolerance of the cat - “Can’t we all just get along”.
5. Stop licking the micro suede couch - (Please!)
6. Take better care of appearance - (Can you say - BATH!)
7. Dress Better (The torn up orange T-shirt has got to go)
8. Use my “quiet” voice inside
9. Stop eating Legos
10. Give more hugs and kisses - Wag my tail more and be content with life.

The Dog Wisdom of the “Way of the Nick”

I recently came across this wonderful poem a Dad wrote  about his son’s dog.  It was written by Gord Young of Gord’s Gold.

I’m sure Nick lives a very full and happy life, filled with affection and plenty of bully sticks.

What can we learn from the way of the Nick?

A Nick does not pass judgement.

A true Nick forgives, even one who has lopped off his ear.

(Oops. my son accidently nicked his ear while trimming)

Nick is tolerant of others even though they would attack him for no reason.

(the cat)

Nick protects with his life those that he loves most.

Nick barks at raccoons but intends them no harm.

(Last night)

A true follower of the “way of the Nick” does not hold on to prejudices

nor hold grudges and forgives past indiscretions.

Nick is surely what we must strive to be.
