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.

Safe Holiday Tips For Your Dog

A little turkey is OK for dogs if you watch out for small bones (and avoid the fat and skin.)

When serving the turkey, be very careful that no bites with little bones in them get given to your doggy. Roasted bird bones are especially brittle and dangerous. So, if you do feed your dog a little turkey, make sure you cut across the grain to make sure no bones are embedded in the meat.

Beware the dark meat (the part dogs like most) - those drumsticks are filled with sharp bones. And never, ever give your dog the cooked carcass to finish off, no matter how big he is. Nothing could be more dangerous for your dog to eat.

As with everything healthy, moderation.

Daily Thought about Dogs!

I've seen a look in dog's eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.

Daily Thought About Dogs

A dog may be man''s best friend, but a child's best friend is a puppy.

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.
