Terrified dog dies while trying to get away from fireworks • Pet Rescue Report

This kind of story is too true, I know someone's whose dog did this. PLEASE keep your pets inside throughout this week (at least, unless you live in county, then the next few weeks), with music or something to distract them. They can go through windows as well, but are less likely if they feel safe in the house.

Also, be careful while out driving at night, there will be animals running for their lives in fear.

A dog, terrified by the booming of fireworks, died after being impaled on a fence, while attempting to flee from the overwhelming sounds. A heartbreaking image of the deceased dog was posted to Facebook by the Barberton SPCA (in South Africa), along with harsh words for the people who set off firewo...

Allergist: Hypoallergenic dog breeds are a myth

True. I have a friend who's boyfriend is allergic, but it's the dander that causes grief. Thankfully, the dog they now have doesn't cause problems.

The online options are abundant: Breeders offer up a sniffle-free life to dog lovers allergic to dogs. So-called "hypoallergenic" dogs can go for thousands of dollars. But some allergists say it's all a myth.

Harris County Animal Shelter

Almost every shelter has a foster program and need people to foster. You will be heavily impacted in such a wonderful way and you will help save many animals lives.

Temporarily opening your home to a shelter animal is one of the most meaningful ways you can make a difference for a dog or cat in our care. Shannon has made a powerful impact on both animal and human lives through fostering with Harris County Animal Shelter. Check out the video to learn what Shannon's most memorable fostering moment has been so far and what motivates her to keep fostering.

100K dogs die each year from riding in truck beds

New Research Shows That Petting Dogs Is Like A Drug For Our Brains

I have noticed even the stuffed dogs in class help keep people calm. The funny thing is, the class isn't stressful, yet people will listen to me as they pet their "dog."

I've heard many excuses why cats should be outside. This is a better argument than I could ever come up with.

If you ever wondered if a cat needed to be “Indoor Only”.......

You can take care of your cat (or dog) and they will also take care of you. Animals are the best medicine!

I get worked up every time I see a dog in the bed of a pickup. Pets aren't even safe inside the car, but an open bed! Not to mention it's often a 100 degree summer day. I seriously want to pull these people out of their trucks, make them sit their bare behinds on the bed for 5 minutes and see if they can still walk!!

PLEASE stop doing this!!

Dr. Peter Dobias - Natural Healing for Dogs

Dr. Peter Dobias - Natural Healing for Dogs

HERE IS WHY SOME DOGS BECOME HYPOTHYROID: The thyroid gland is located at the front portion of the throat, right in front of the Adam’s apple (anatomically the laryngeal cartilages) which makes it very prone to injuries by dog collars.

The harder the pressure of the collar on the thyroid gland and the stronger the dog, the greater risk of thyroid injury.

When the thyroid gland is injured inflammation follows, which triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to the inflamed tissue of the thyroid gland. These antibodies attack and the immune system removes thyroid gland cells which results in lack of production of thyroid hormone.

The thrill of the hunt!
The thrill of the hunt!

Axle has always loved his toy box (has a real one at home). He loves digging out treats and toys and playing with them.

Abby's in a hurry to leave!
Abby's in a hurry to leave!

So one of the things about training is that you can't just rush the dog into it, you have to get them somewhat adapted first. Abby loves people, gets along with other dogs, but is terrified of noises, especially but not exclusively, loud noises. Overall, she's a little uncomfortable outside of "her" environment. So, with our training, we have to get used to being out and about so that she can get more comfortable and pay better attention (focus). Turns out there's a great park nearby AND it has a bridge we go under to cross the street (meaning trucks drive over us). Abby did so well! She wanted to greet a few people but didn't. She walked with her tail untucked almost the entire time and it wore her out! Well, until about 4:30, then she decided to tell me it was soon time to go home.

The new year and new changes are coming soon! But my impatience makes it hard to stay too motivated with a month still to go. Abby shares my sentiments!
