We Reall Never Own a Dog, We are Pet Guardians
I used to thing, with pride overflowing, that my brown dog was mine. Now I know better. We never really own a dog as much as he owns us.
Where he led I would follow without fear, and even now, remembering how he would curl up with his back against my bedroom door, I know again how it was to feel safe and protected from anything and anyone.
Once when I was very small and sick my mother put him in bed with me against everyone's advice. "They need each other," she said, and that was that.
She understood brown dogs and their peculiar magic.

“The Well Behaved Pet Guardian” a Fun Book on Dog Training
“The Well Behaved Pet Guardian” a Fun Book on Dog Training
Louisville, CO., January 4, 2010 — Devoted dog owners know the joy and excitement of having a dog as their best friend and family member.
Have you ever tried training your dog and thrown up your hands wondering, “why won’t you listen?” Don’t dispare, it happens to all of us. We see it happen when we are walking our dogs around town or when they are running free at the local dog park.
Why should we train our dog? There are several answers, and perhaps the most obvious is also the strongest argument: because you will both enjoy it! But there are a number of others that it’s worth knowing about, because training isn’t a trivial matter for dogs-it’s important for their overall well being.
Why should we train our dog? There are several answers, and perhaps the most obvious is also the strongest argument: because you will both enjoy it!
I wrote this book to be a training aid as seen through the eyes of your best friend. We all love our dogs and we all face the daily task of setting the hierarchy in our home. Your dog is constantly trying to test us and prove they are the top dog. If properly trained, your dog will understand that you are in charge and will always be the top dog.
A lot has been written about the human role as “pack leader” and the importance of never allowing your dog to dominate you. Don’t get so obsessed with being the leader and disciplinarian that you can’t allow your dog to play.
Patricia Griecci, founder of Smiling Dog and PlayMore Publishing, knows the problem some pet guardians face. “A large number of guardians (pet owners) have told me the same thing about asking how to include their best friend in your pack.
The book “Well Behaved Pet Guardian and Pampered Pooch Parties” are printed in the USA and available from PlayMore Publishing http://bit.ly/PetGuardian, Pampered Pooch Parties at http://bit.ly/pgriecci and Amazon.com.

Signs Your Dog May Have the Parvo Virus
Signs Your Dog May Have the Parvo Virus
Parvo can exist in the Cardiac (less common) or Intestinal.
Cardiac attacks the heart muscle and is more common in puppies. My puppy had this form and had difficulty breathing and almost died. The Cardiac form can cause dogs that survive this disease to have scarring in their heart muscle, mine was lucky and had no long term affects.
Intestinal – This form of the Parvo virus causes extreme damage to the intestinal tract. Most dogs that contract this are less than 1 year old and between 6 and 20 weeks old (before the full set of vaccinations are given)
Some signs of intestinal Parvo are:
-Lethargy
-High fever
-Depression
-Loss of Appetite
-Vomiting
-Diarrhea- Bloody and foul smelling
Signs of Parvo usually appear from 3 to 10 days after your dog has been exposed. See a Veterinarian immediatly.

Be Healthy PlayMore With Pets
Pets make us more social. Pets have personalities and provide companionship to our highly social human species. They force us to socialize when they greet us in the doorway, engage us in play, or look for praise. And pets also make us more social by giving us opportunities to socialize with other pet owners and meet new people.
Pets improve our health. Pets may actually improve our physical health, although it is not entirely clear why. One hypothesis is that people who have pets that need to be walked end up exercising more. There is also some medical evidence that people with pets have lower blood pressure and cholesterol and see the doctor less often than their non-pet owning counterparts.
Pets soothe us. An interesting experimental study showed that women given a stressful mental exercise were soothed more by a pet than the presence of a friend. Why? Even our friends make judgments about us. Pets provide stress relief through physical contact and unconditional positive regard. In addition, pets can also provide relief from feelings of loneliness.
Pets promote empathy and bonding. Children with strong bonds to pets score higher on empathy scales than children without pets. Pets also cultivate a nurturing spirit from the adults who take care of them. We learn to empathize with our pets' feelings, signs of hunger, et cetera, because they are not able to speak for themselves. A previous PT Blogger cited a 2003 study in the Veterinary Journal that showed how the act of touching or petting an animal releases the mammalian hormone Oxytocin. This hormone increases feelings of bonding, sparking a similar connection as with a child, family member, or close friend.
For those of you who do not currently have pets, consider the benefits of their companionship through ownership, pet-sitting, or playing with other people's pets.
