Bad Dog is a Trainable Dog

To train a dog, it is best to start when they are puppies. Not all dogs come into a person's life when they are a puppy. Our dog Buddy came into our life when he was 18 months old. Coming from two broken homes and soon to be euthanize at the Human Society, he found us. 

For the first few months, Buddy had abandonment issues and acted out when we were away. He looked guilty when we came home. Nevertheless, there was this "I don't care" thing about him, waiting for us to take him back to jail.

When he realized that he was here to stay, he became a wonderful dog. Read more on Buddy and other wonderful pets on My Pet Collection of Articles.

Below is a funny video of a very guilty dog. Enjoy!

Meet Pearl Cat

The cat named Pearl Phelinepoli is a very famous cat. It is obvious that she has a great personality. Pearl Phelinepoli has her own Facebook page. She even has her own blog called Pearl Cat and Her Family.

Do you think Pearl cat is spoiled? After all, she is one cute cat with a bit of a cross-eyed look. At least in some of her photos, but personally I think she is making faces for the camera.

The photo above is Pearl looking at the mouse pad that shows her on a colorful afghan. Below are a few products with Pearl on them. Her mommy gave permission to produce these on Zazzle products publicly.

Love of Dachshund Cards on Zazzle

I love dachshunds! They are so cute with their short legs, long body, long snout and they hop when they run.

When my sister-in-law was living in an apartment for more than a year waiting for the divorce to be finalized, we took her dog Trixie in to live with us. She was a very fat dog with her belly touching the ground. By time my sister-in-law was able to take Trixie back, this little wiener dog was a lean, mean, barking machine.

We didn't want to see her go and she was offered to live with us for good, but my sister-in-law needed Trixie more than she knew. We knew that they belonged together. Trixie is now in dog heaven.

Celebrate Your Dogs at Christmas Time

I am a dog lover, in fact I should say I’m an animal lover except for snakes as I really don’t like them at all, but that’s another story. My dogs are a part of our family and that’s why I think it’s important that they enjoy the celebrations with us. The first dog I ever had came into my life when I was a tween and was an Old English Sheepdog named Digby. There are so many stories that I can tell about him, he came into our life just before Christmas one year and I think about him most Christmases.

A great way of celebrating the canine members of your family at Christmas is by hanging Dog Christmas ornaments on your tree. When I hang up an Old English Sheepdog Christmas Ornament on the tree my daughter asks me to tell her about Digby’s first Christmas when he thought we’d brought him an internal toilet! I also share lots of other stories and sometimes we even get out the photo album so that she can see photos of him.

The first dog my hubby and I got together was from the SPCA in New Zealand and she was called Shelly. Shells was a cross between a Bull Terrier and a Fox Terrier and appointed herself my guardian whenever my hubby wasn’t home which led to some very funny stories including a former Mr New Zealand bodybuilder too scared to come into the house because of a puppy who at that stage only just reached my knees when she was on two legs and at full stretch! Shells was still alive when my daughter was born and when she left us my daughter was so upset as she had never known life without Shelly. It was a couple of years before I could even think about looking for a Christmas ornament to celebrate her part in our hearts – what sort should I get? A Bull Terrier Christmas ornament or a Fox Terrier Christmas ornament as we looked at them it was evident that we would get her a bull terrier one as there was one that was a dead ringer for our little Shell Bell.

The first Christmas that hubby and I had as parents (to the dog) convinced my hubby that he had definitely married a ‘barmy pom’ as I had to find a Christmas present for Shelly. “But she’s a dog,” was the protest – guess who won? Every year we give our dogs a Christmas gift and they get very excited about it. At the moment we have two dogs – our old girl Kahlua and our little man Roman.

Kahlua appointed herself my daughter’s guardian as soon as I brought her home from the hospital and would get between her and myself or my hubby if we raised our voices at her. “ua” was the first word my daughter said – not “mum”, not “dad”, but “ua, ua, ua” and Kahlua would run up to her and see what she wanted! Kahlua’s mum was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, her father is a mystery as her mother decided to go out for a walk and came back pregnant! Kahlua looks just like a Ridgeback though and when she’s no longer with us to unwrap her gift at Christmas time I’ve actually got the perfect Rhodesian Ridgeback Christmas Ornament to get for our tree – it’s one that I actually made myself from a photo of her and I think it’s the most gorgeous Ridgeback ornament you could get.

Funny Cockatiel Showing Off for the Camera!

It all started when a friend was moving and the new apartment wouldn't allow them to bring their cockatiel, Juanita. So, Juanita became our pet bird. She had a bit an attitude and she seemed to miss her owner. After we had her living with us for awhile, we decided that she needed a mate. So we bought a young male breeder, hoping to get her sprits up and eventually see little cockatiels flying around.

We no longer have our cockatiels, though I do enjoy seeing some funny videos about them. I found this video from keven1217 on YouTube pretty funny. Rocky is really showing off for the camera.

Why Did the Cat Go Up the Ladder?

This is Jasper, Carol G.'s cat. She claimed he claimed up there to get into the attic. But listening to the video suggestion otherwise. "Jasper, I put got you up there on top of the ladder." You be the judge. :)

Perhaps Jasper is up on the ladder to avoid the dogs below. OH, they are harmless. Just a few pet articles. Plus some pet clothing and inspired pet tags. Only the best for our pets! Give them something to bark or meow about.

Jeanie tells the story of their beautiful dog Raven. She was a pound dog intended for their son. A fluffy black chow and (possibly) Schipperke mix.

Just six months old when they recued her from the shelter and her death for she had already stayed as long as the shelter was allowed to keep her and due to a euthanize sentence the following day.

Read how Raven had enriched their family on Pound Puppy to Diva.

This story is a happy one after the lost of Jeanie's dog, Raven.

No one can ever replace the dog they had known and loved for many years. It is never an easy decision on if there should be another dog in the family to fill the void. Jeanie had grown up with pets in her life. To not have a furry family member really was unthinkable.

In the search to fill the void, they found a good-looking German Shepherd from one of her son's friend.
Read more about this on The Dog's Point Of View

Just like Jeanie, we too have a shelter dog. He has been a wonderful part of our life for more than 7 years. Buddy is a German Shepherd. We rescued him from our local Humane Society. Two other families had already discarded him. Buddy was kept in a cage in a back room, that could be viewed from a window viewing into the other room. He was in this room because we were told that he had a socializing problem with the other dogs

No other families had shown an interest in Buddy and he was getting close to the day of being euthanized.
