I have one true friend and she stays close to me all the time. Her name is Chicky and she is one spoiled kitty. Chicky has been with me for 10 years now. My dad gave her to me as a birthday gift when he saw how I looked at her at the pet shop. Like the romance novels that I write, it was like love at first sight. She was just a small Japanese Bobtail back then, with white fur and a pink nose. As a kid, I have always loved Hello Kitty and at that time inside the pet shop, it was like I saw Hello Kitty come to life. The pet shop owner said that I could touch her if I wanted to and I eagerly nodded my head, with pigtail curls and all. When I touched her, I instantly knew we were meant to be together forever. The owner asked if I wanted to take the kitten home with me but I knew we could not afford it so I just smiled and gave her back to the owner. Leaving the pet store was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life as I gave one last longing look at the cutest kitten that I have ever seen. I wanted to have that kitty but I did not know how I could come up with the money to be able to buy her from the pet shop. A few weeks later, it was my birthday and lo and behold, my dad gave me the best gift ever – the small little Japanese Bobtail kitty from the pet shop! I named her Chicky and we were inseparable since then. Although she is no longer a small kitty now, she is still the same Japanese Bobtail that I fell in love with at first sight.

I used to think my dog was great —
right now, I wonder why!
You see, he ruined my favourite doll,
and that sure made me cry.
I yelled at Benny really loud
and showed him what he’d done.
His tail went down, his ears did too,
and off that dog did run.
He’s in his bed and looks upset.
Mom says she thinks he’s sad.
She says I should forgive him now,
but I’m still too darn mad!
In a while, I’ll call his name
and use a friendly tone.
I’ll pet him lots — he’ll wag his tail,
but first, I’ll hide his bone!
6 thoughts on “Revenge on Benny”
Ooh – Meanie!
Hiding his bone might be a challenge and he’ll tear some stuff up trying to get it, lol.
Sounds reasonable to me!
Holy cow! Herb has a VERY good point there. Don’t do it!

Lol, I’ve seen it happen. Not on purpose, either.
Revenge! Hope it doesn’t back fire.

KUWAIT CITY(IAMINKUWAIT): List of favorite dog breeds, mainly gauged by the animals' suitability as pets in homes and apartments. Because of thousands of years of selective breeding by humans, dogs come in a tremendous variety of sizes, shapes, colors, temperaments and behaviors. They are the only animal to have so much variation in appearance without branching into a separate species.
Though groups like the American Kennel Club make very specific designations about breeds and breed hybrids, there continue to be new breeds and breed variants developed all the time, as well as "up and coming breeds" not officially recognized by kennel clubs and experts. (Many dogs not purchased directly from breeders are also mixed-breeds of some kind, or have less than purebred ancestry.)
Dog breeds are typically divided into a few basic categories: companion dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs and working dogs. The top dog breeds for every purpose are represented here. Despite the names, in contemporary America, most breeds - even hunting or herding dogs - service as companies for individuals and families.
The Golden Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog bred as gun dogs to retrieve shot waterfowl such as ducks and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties, and were named 'retriever' because of their ability to retrieve shot game undamaged. Golden Retrievers have an instinctive love of water, and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards. They are a long-coated breed, with a dense inner coat that provides them with adequate warmth in the outdoors, and an outer coat that lies flat against their bodies and repels water. Golden Retrievers are well suited to residency in suburban or country environments.
The German Shepherd is a breed of large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language, sometimes abbreviated as "GSD", and was also formerly known as the Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog in Britain. The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including assistance.
The Labrador Retriever, also known as simply Labrador or Lab, is one of several kinds of retrievers, a type of gun dog. Labradors are athletic, playful, and the most popular breed of dog by registered ownership in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A favourite assistance dog breed in these and other countries, Labradors are frequently trained to aid people who are blind and people with autism, act as therapy dogs, and perform screening and detection work for law enforcement and other official agencies. They are prized as sporting and waterfowl hunting dogs.
The Siberian Husky is a medium size, dense-coat working dog breed that originated in north-eastern Siberia. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognizable by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings. Huskies are a very active, energetic, and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi of Northeastern Asia to pull heavy loads long distances through difficult conditions. The dogs were imported into Alaska during the Nome Gold Rush and later spread into the United States and Canada. They were initially sent to Alaska and Canada.
The Border Collie is a medium sized dog, with a body that is slightly longer than the height and a fairly wide skull. The ears are usually half-perked. The coat colors come in black and white, tri-color, red and white, black and gray, and all black.

When I tell you that Relaxed Pup makes dog treats that contain CBD, there will be some of you who wish to avoid such a thing.
But actually, CBD is not just safe for dogs, it’s good for them!
Today, I want to go over why CBD is good for your dog. Most of them are for the same reason, it’s good for you.
Just like humans, dogs can also suffer from anxiety. This is when they get so nervous, it becomes hard for them to do anything.
This anxiety is often a result of past events such as being attacked by another dog or being kidnapped.
When people have anxiety, CBD has properties that can calm us down and give us a boost of confidence. The same is true with dogs.
Once your anxious dog takes CBD, they’ll be eager to make friends with everyone and play with all the other dogs.
When your dog gets older, he may suffer from arthritis. This is when the bones get weaker than they used to be, and simple tasks such as walking will be more of a struggle.
CBD acts as pain relief, similar to paracetamol. It prevents the nerve endings from sending pain signals to the brain, and as a result, you stop being hurt.
An arthritic dog who takes CBD is more likely to be able to move quicker,. .Therefore he will have a better chance of making new friends and can go on longer and more enjoyable walks.
Another issue that dogs can have is aggression.
Smaller breeds can be aggressive by nature, but other dogs become aggressive through their experience of the world.
Nobody would want to be friends with an aggressive dog. CBD is excellent at calming your dog down and preventing them from becoming aggressive.
Aggression is often a side-effect of anxiety. Dogs will think that other dogs will want to hurt them and hurt them first before they can.
But when given CBD, they won’t feel this way. They’ll look at the other dogs as their friend and want to play with them.
Despite what some people might say, your dog taking CBD is not dangerous.
While it makes sense why people would think this, multiple studies have shown that not only is CBD safe, but it has most of the same benefits to them that it has when we take it.
And a lot of the time, it can even be more effective than common drugs as it doesn’t have many of the same side-effects. And the great thing about dogs is that if something is in a biscuit, you don’t need to worry about whether or not they’ll want it.
This is, of course, not to say you don’t need to be careful.
If you give your dog CBD, make sure you’re giving them CBD at not THC. THC is the chemical in weed that gets you high. This can make your dog confused and nervous as they won’t be aware of what’s happening.
Also, be careful with puppies. As with humans if taken by someone with a developing brain, CBD can impact brain development. But for the most part, puppies won’t be the dogs who need it.
And be sure to talk to your vet if you’re worried that your dog might react negatively to CBD.
If your dog is struggling with their mental or physical health, one brilliant solution is to give them CBD.
Since their body’s work in a similar way to ours, the effects that CBD will have on them is very similar to the impact it will have one us.


Barking is a very normal behavior of canines as it is their way of communicating withtheir human buddy and other animals. Pet dog often bark to express their feelings to their human buddy. So, periodically even a effectively behaved canine can startbarking constantly. There are a great deal of factors that might cause a canine to bark and theirbarking can be really annoying.

It is likewise an effective method of controlling barking problems in canines. A bark collar isalso an efficient way of training a canine, although it is not as widely used aspositive reinforcement.
KINDS OF BARK COLLARS
There are lots of kinds of dog collars in the market today, however the 3 most typical types of dog collarsinclude;
1. ELECTRIC SHOCK BARK COLLARS COLLARS
The electric shock bark collars are one of the oldest kind of bark collars on the marketplace. They work by offering the pet dog a moderate fixed electrical power once the vibrations from its vocal cables and barking noises are discovered by the sensors of the bark collars. The electric shock dog collars sends electric existing to pet's muscles whenever he barks. The integrated prongs is normally utilized to deliver the mild electric shock which can adjusted in strength inning accordance with the size of the pet and the training requirements. Nevertheless the precise technique that each individual electric shock bark collars works depends upon the design and the producer of the electrical shock bark collar. Many kinds of electric shock barkcollars discharge a moderate electricalcurrent when it senses that the pet is barking.Some individuals say that the electric shock bark collarsare vicious because of the moderate electriccurrent that is sent to the pet's body but it isnot likely damage your pet dog in company website any way.

Making use of electrical shock bark collars is questionable, but it is really efficient for controlling incessant pet barking as long as the user has adequateknowledge about it. And also prevent setting the strength of the electric shocks too high however rather set it to an strength that is justunpleasant adequate to prevent the canine from barking. Also some electric shockbark collars use microphone to sense when the canine isbarking. Some collars however use both vibration sensing units and microphones to notice when the canine is barking.
2. ULTRASONIC BARK COLLARS
The ultrasonic bark collars are among the most popular bark collars in themarket today. This kind of bark collars are used to discourage pets from barking usingan irritating yet completelyharmless noise. Ultrasonic bark collars typically workby releasing a high pitched ultrasonic sound that is stated tobe annoying to discourage the petfrom barking. They are likewise one of the most efficient method of controlling a dog's relentless barking. The bark collar gives off a noise when its microphone senses the pet'sbarking that stuns the pet dog without leading to any type of physical harm. Themicrophones in the ultrasonic bark collars are established to pick up distinct barking, which stops the high pitched ultrasonicsound from mistakenly going off as aresult of other noises. The high pitched ultrasonic sound discharged by the ultrasonic bark collars can not be heard by people but they can be heard by pets, and it only lasts for a few seconds. Recent studies have actually shown that this type of barkcollars does not have any sort of negative influence on the pet dog becausethe period of the high pitched ultrasonic sound is controlled. Several brand names of ultrasonic bark collarshave a positive tone feature that serves asa positive reinforcement when the pet dog stopsbarking.
3. CITRONELLA SPRAY BARK COLLARS
The citronella spray bark collars work by squirting out citronella unto the canine's snout whenever the pet startsbarking. The citronella spray often go for the pet dog's sense for fast outcomes. The citronella spray barkcollar are developed to make the canine connect the smell of citronella with barking, so the pet dog will stopbarking because he does not desire odor thecitronella that is often released as a consequence forbarking. This is frequently effective due to the fact that the scent of citronella is really disappointing to pets butit is also completely harmless. Citronella is normally used as an bug sprayby humans however it does not bother human beings.
Once the pet starts barking, themicrophone will pick up the barking and the citronella spray bark collarwill release the safe citronella scent. It does not need any human intervention to function and it has no negative impacts on the health of the pet, instead it has a relaxing effect on the pet. It also make the mostof canines severe hatred of herbal options. The amount of citronella released must just suffice to stop the dog from barking.
The only downsides of using the citronella spray bark collars isthat the fragrance of the citronella might stay with the dog's body for numerous minutes or hours insome celebrations.


Our loyal and affectionate canine companions are subject to a few behaviors exhibited by pet owners that might not sit well with them. Despite these actions being well-intentioned, dogs have their distinct preferences and limits. Below are five common behaviors dog owners engage in, often without realizing that dogs secretly dislike them.
Hugs and Kisses: While humans use hugs and kisses as signs of affection, dogs might perceive these gestures as intrusive. Dogs possess their own ways of expressing and receiving love, and this close contact can lead to discomfort or stress for them.
Loud Noises: Loud sounds like vacuum cleaners, loud music, or shouting can distress many dogs. Even though some dogs might tolerate such noises, others may experience anxiety, prompting them to seek a quiet and secure space.
Dressing Up: While dressing pets in adorable outfits seems charming, most dogs aren’t particularly fond of wearing clothes. Attire can restrict their movement, cause unease, and even trigger anxiety.
Enforced Interaction: It’s essential for dogs to socialize with new people and other canines, but coercing them into interactions when they’re not at ease can have negative consequences. Dogs require time and space to approach novel situations at their own pace.
Disregarding Body Language: Dogs communicate through body language, often displaying subtle cues about their emotions. Ignoring signs of discomfort or fear can amplify stress in pets. Attentiveness to their cues and fostering an environment where they feel secure is vital.

Les Pattes de Rawdon
NEXT FUNRAISER – DOGS WALK FOR CATS
Dogs walk for cats is a 5 km walk, with our without your dog, which will be held on Saturday October 5th at 10 am (in case of rain, postponed to the next day). Departure will take place from the beach chalet parking lot and we will return to this same spot. All the profits will be donated to the CSR project (Capture – Sterilization – Return) of community cats.
The cost of registration is $10. A pledge form is availble here should you wish to invite other participants and/or donors. The collected donations can be given to the organizers on the morning of the walk.
It is well known that cats reproduce at an accelerated rate. A fertile cat can give birth to four kittens, three times a year. So after four years, you can easily find yourself with more than 20,000 cats.
« Capture-Sterilization-Return » method is a humane, effective and economical way to reduce the overpopulation of feral cats (community cats).
The idea is to capture, spay/neuter, vaccinate and de-worm if necessary, the adult cats of an outdoor colony. These wild and/or semi-wild cats are then returned to the location where they were caught, where their numbers slowly decrease thanks to the interruption of the reproductive cycle. Adoptable cats will be given the chance to find their forever families.
THE COMMUNITY’S PARTICIPATION IS ESSENTIAL
The Pattes de Rawdon volunteers would like to work with people who care about the living conditions of community cats and who also take care of them. This close collaboration ensures that, once sterilized and brought back to their colony, cats will be fed regularly and have a warm, dry place to take refuge.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
If you live in Rawdon and are already taking care of a colony of community cats (or if you know someone who is), please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org or call us at 450 834-7161.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMUNITY CATS?
They are ownerless cats that are wild or semi-wild and cannot be handled or approached. They often live in small or large groups, known as “colonies “.
HOW THE CATS ARE CAUGHT?
The Pattes de Rawdon volunteers use TRU CATCH brand trapping cages, which are triggered by gravity (not springs). They are the safest and most humane way to capture feral cats, as they do not require physical interactions, which are often very stressful for the animals.
The volunteers will bring back the cats that you feed, to the location where they were caught.
ARE THERE ANY COSTS?
The program is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.
AT WHAT TIME OF YEAR ARE CATS STERILIZED?
From May to October (depending on weather conditions).
Please note that we are neither a shelter, rescue group nor a low cost veterinary clinic.
Telephone: 450 834-7446

We adopted Ginjey Bear back in 2016. She’d been found up a tree in the town nearby our mooring and nobody claimed her once the firefighters rescued her, so after two weeks living in the vets she came home with us.
She hasn’t had a standard cat life; from living on a boat her first two years, and travelling around the UK in the van with us. When there are periods of time that we cannot take her with us due to flying abroad for short periods, she’s stayed with family members. Basically she is a cat well versed in change.
We are moving our lives over to Portugal, so naturally our fur baby is coming along with us. We’ve taken the necessary steps and acquired her a pet passport and rabies jab. She’s chipped and vaccinated. Treated against fleas, ticks, and worms. In fact she is wormed regularly (monthly) due to her large appetite of rodents. We’ve recently bought a tracker for her, especially as she is now coming abroad with us for the first time we really don’t want her to get lost!
Naturally this adds some slight difficulties with travelling, we can’t just book a ferry and hop on in for an overnight crossing. We have to book her a cabin with us! For an extra £39.50 we booked a pet friendly cabin (only 17 available on the ferry), which meant she could travel with us from Portsmouth to Bilbao.
I grew up in a narrowboat, so travelling to Europe on a 32 hour ferry crossing was a breeze 🐯🐾 . . . . . #adventurecat #catsofinstagram #cat #catstagram #catoftheday #instacat #catlover #adventure #catsoftheworld #catslife #cats_of_world #adventurecats #catloversclub #cats_of_instagram #catsdaily #bestmeow #adventureculture #travel #exploremore #bayofbiscay #vanlife #vanlifediaries
Having never travelled abroad with an animal before we weren’t too sure what the process would be like, but it was incredibly simple.
When travelling to Europe and back from the UK we do not need to take her to a vet for a worming tablet as is applicable for dogs, but that doesn’t mean she’s not regularly wormed though. We do need to make sure she as a passport, current rabies jab, current vaccinations, and a chip. That is it!
Cat travel packing list:
Carry case to transport her from the van to her cabin
Litter tray (sadly she hasn’t mastered the art of using a human toilet – we’ve tried!). Poo bags are super handy to quickly bag up any turds, as we all know cat poo is pungent!
Food. I limit feeding her a good hour or so prior to transportation, I’ve learned that if she eats close to moving she will vomit it straight back up
Harness & leash. It makes life easier for us all if she is harnessed during transit, allowing us to easily hold her if one of us needs to get out, or leash her up so we can have the van door open for a short period of time whilst we’re unpacking the van and she is safe. We don’t keep her in her carry case when we’re moving as she enjoys the comfort of being on one of our laps instead.
Passport. Obtained from the vets, you have to wait three weeks after their rabies jab to be able to travel.
Having never travelled abroad with an animal before we weren’t too sure what the process would be like, but it was incredibly simple. Once we approached the ferry check-in I passed over her pet passport, and the attendant passed me the chip scanner. A quick scan of her body and the scanner beeped to let us know it had found the chip and displayed the number on the handheld chip device. Once handed back to the attendant – who checked the chip number against her passport – we had a green dog sticker placed onto our windshield which meant we had a pet on board.
Having Ginjey in the cabin with us was really nice, as she got to cuddle up to us and explore the room, look out the window, and generally keep calm as she wasn’t alone
Once we parked on the ferry we were informed we could take our belongings up to our pet friendly cabin and would then be escorted back to the car a little while later to collect her. I was expecting it to be half an hour after we departed, however they announced over the tannoy that pets were now being collected and to go to the information desk on floor seven to be taken downstairs. They checked off our name on the pet travel list then took us down to the car deck, where we picked up Ginjey, her litter tray and her food and brought her up to our room. She was pretty excited to get out of her carrier and explore the room, which no doubt smelled of many other furry companions.
A cute supplement we received in the room was a goody bag for our furry friend; collapsable water bowl (super handy for vanlife and hiking), along with a poo bag dispenser and some treats.
Having Ginjey in the cabin with us was really nice, as she got to cuddle up to us and explore the room, look out the window, and generally keep calm as she wasn’t alone. It’s mainly dogs who travel on this crossing which means they have kennels for them too as there are only a limited number of pet rooms. As far as I’m aware cats can only travel with you in the cabin and do not go in the kennels, which would be massively stressful for them anyway being surrounded by dogs.
We will be doing a blog post about her cat tracker soon…


It really saddens me to see animals on the street abandoned, ignored & neglected.
I wish I could pick up and care for every stray animal I see. But, unfortunately, I can’t.
Even if I take them to the shelter, they’ll have food & water for a few days. Maybe even a week. But ultimately, the animals get put to sleep due to overcrowding and lack of funds.
A few years ago I heard a small but high pitched meow from underneath my dads car. I grabbed my flashlight and saw wide green/hazel eyes staring at me. I reached towards it to rescue the kitty but she scratched me and left my finger bleeding. I wasn’t about to leave her there so I got a can of tuna and left it out. As she was eating, I grabbed a towel and wrapped her in it.
Now, she’s sleeping and purring…

All animals in the household must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Dogs must be indoor pets only and any active dogs will require a fenced in yard or active family who will ensure the dog gets the exercise they need.
Puppies and dogs are adopted to households with kids that are at least 5 years old because all dogs scratch and bite with their teeth and nails as they play. With dogs under 15 lbs, children in the household must be at least 10. Some exceptions are made but only by the coordinator. We do not adopt puppies to a household that has never had a dog before. We do not place dogs in daycare facilities.
We do adopt to those in rental homes if they have lived in the rental home for least 2 years and have had dogs as an adult before. A contract or lease must be shown. We almost never adopt dogs over 40 lbs or any puppies to rental units; an exception would be for a senior large breed dog.


The last thing you want as a dog owner is to have an aggressive dog with behavior issues. We’ve all have had experiences with dogs that are aggressive towards their dogs, or witness them being aggressive toward others as well as people. Some breeds may have some more traits of aggression than others and it’s important to know how to handle those situations.
Are French Bulldogs Aggressive? French Bulldogs are generally friendly dogs. They have no problem getting along with other dogs and love people. Despite their bulky muscular appearance of bulldog breeds, they have very goofy and funny personalities. However, like any dog, if they are not properly socialized at a young age there is a chance that they can become aggressive.
You want to make sure that you prevent your Frenchie from developing these behavior problems early on. This makes it crucial for your Frenchie engage in early socialization. The sooner you can start socializing your Frenchie with other dogs and people, the less chance you have of your Frenchie developing any aggressive behavior.
Table of Contents
Early Socialization For French Bulldogs
You should start socializing your Frenchie as soon it’s cleared after her set of vaccinations. You can start by taking your Frenchie out to public spaces and just sit outside a cafe and let your Frenchie just soak in the people walking around, the sound of traffic, other dogs walking by.
One of the best methods is to look for a dog group dog training class where owners and their dogs participate win training activities in small groups. This is a great way fro your Frenchie to learn to socialize with other dogs and people. You will also get some training techniques and methods from an instructor that you can practice at home or out in public.
Once your Frenchie has had some supervised experienced socializing with other dogs and people, another great way for them to socialize would be putting them into a doggy day care facility where they can just play with other dogs in a secured room. This is a bit more free form than a group training session. It’s literally just a hug room where dogs can run around and play together, supervised of course.
French Bulldog Temperament
Overall, French Bulldogs are well-tempered very funny, goofy and playful dogs. They love to rough house and romp around. Their rough housing can seem a bit aggressive to those who have never owned a Frenchie or bulldog breed. But it’s important to know that despite their size, they are bulldogs and they like to play rough. It’s just in their nature.
This doesn’t mean that they can’t be aggressive. French Bulldogs, thanks to their distant Bulldog fighting heritage are not shy of showing who’s boss and can have a bit of an edge to them. French Bulldogs are not known to start fights but they certainly have no problem holding their ground and not backing down if provoked.
Frenchies Love Attention
Frenchies also crave a lot of attention and if they don’t get enough attention or if they are left home alone for long periods of time then cab often become depressed and suffer from separation anxiety. So if you’re someone who is often gone for long periods of time then a French Bulldog may not be the best choice.
On top of that Frenchies can become quite destructive without proper attention. They love to chew things and if they are often left alone without any attention they can suffer from separation anxiety which leads to them chewing whatever they can get their mouths on.
This makes it crucial for your Frenchie engage in early socialization. The sooner you can start socializing your Frenchie with other dogs and people, the less chance you have of your Frenchie developing any aggressive behavior.
French Bulldog Personality Traits
As mentioned French Bulldogs have a lot of personality. They are like the jesters of dogs. There’s a reason they’re so popular.
French Bulldogs love attention. They can often get jealous if another one is getting attention and they will try to slide their way in to steal some attention from others. They make the perfect lap dog for lazy Sundays on the cough to watch tv or just relax.
Male and Female French Bulldog Personality Differences
They’re a few difference between male and female Frenchies when it comes to their personality and traits. Males in particular have a tendency to be a little more assertive in their ways and are typically more rambunctious than females, even though females are pretty rambunctious themselves.
Females tend to be on the more humble than males in most cases. They also tend to be more on the affectionate side with the caveat that as puppies they can be a bit more temperamental then males, but usually grow out of it as they get older. They are also more likely to be reactionary when they are provoked. This can also be the case for males and it will vary, however it can also be treated with proper training.
French Bulldogs are great family dogs, with a great personality that just want to love and be loved. But like every dog they can be aggressive if not properly trained and socialized. More often than not you will not have any issues with aggression when it comes to Frenchies. Just make sure you have the time to spend with them and you’ll be golden.

Get a Pre-Winter Health Report. They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it should be no different for our pets. Taking your dog to the vet before winter gets into full swing is a great way to get ahead of any problems that could flare during the season. This is also an ideal time to work with your vet on setting winter weight and health care goals as well as getting recommendations for how to reach them.
Winterize Your Dog’s Workout. Healthy levels of activity are essential for your dog’s physical and mental well-being. And even in the face of deep snow drifts or bone-chilling temps, you and your pup can still stay active.
When the winter classics such as sledding and snowman-building fail you, look no further than your own living room. Get a game of indoor fetch going with your dog, or race him around the house and up the stairs to get the both of you moving.
Resist the Urge. Chilly days are perfect for staying inside and indulging in our favorite treats. But just like humans, dogs can easily pack on the pounds during winter. So ensure you continue following their feeding instructions closely and always avoid giving them table scraps, no matter how convincing their puppy eyes may be. Furthermore, ensure all your wintertime houseguests avoid giving into those puppy eyes and donating table scraps, too. Doing this will not only save him from surplus calories that quickly add up, but his table manners will improve dramatically as well.
Adjust Your Dog’s Diet. Unless your dog typically maintains his activity level during the winter, he may not need as many calories as he does in the warmer months. Talk to your vet and adjust your pup’s diet accordingly.

Well bred Boxers from reputable breeders should live long and happy lives. However, if due care is not taken by breeders, it is possible for Boxers to be affected by the following hereditary problems – Cardiomyopathy (BCM or ARVC), Aortic Stenosis (AS), Hip Dysplasia, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and Thyroid Disease. All these conditions can be tested for. Some other conditions which can affect Boxers include Demodectic Mange, Cancer, Bloat & Allergies. Below is some information on these conditions.
Boxberry Boxers undertake health testing of all breeding stock. All of our breeding stock has been tested for Aortic Stenosis *noted by HT? beside their name, and have the ARVC Gene test done *noted by CC (Negative), AC (Positive Heterozygous) or AA (Positive Homozygous) beside their name. All of our breeding stock is holter monitored annually and our imported Stud dogs have had Doppler tests done. All of our dogs have their health testing results listed on their individual pages.
We are dedicated to producing Happy Healthy puppies, when new tests become available we will take advantage of them. Copies of our dogs health testing results are available to view at the time of matings or puppy purchases.
Cardiomyopathy is one of the most common causes of sudden/unexpected death in Boxers, both young and old. Dogs with Cardiomyopathy often show no symptoms until they have a Cardiac Arrest.
The disease involves a disturbance in the electrical conduction which causes the heart to contract too early, producing an extra ineffective beat - in Boxers this condition is now called 'Familial Ventricular Arrhythmia (FVA)' or 'Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) - which is an electrical problem rather than a disease of the heart muscle.
The best tool for screening for BCM is via a Holter Monitor examination, which records the dog's heart activity over at least 24 hours. The monitor is strapped to the dog and electrodes are placed on the chest while the dog goes about its normal activities. The Holter Monitor results are only as good as the day the test was taken, and as such should be completed periodically to pick up any problems. Here is a link showing how to attach the monitor to a Boxer - www.youtube.com/watch
Another way of screening for this disease is the Genetic Mutation Testing Service for Boxer Dog's Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy offered by NC State University, this is done via a simple blood test or cheek swab and sent to the Veterinary Cardiac Genetic Laboratory (VCGL) at the NCSU, results are returned within a few weeks. This method does not rule out ARVC, and as such should only be used as a guideline for breeding, it is not a means to diagnose a Boxer as being clear of or as having ARVC and should be taken into account with Holter monitor results. Negative dogs can have symptoms up to and including death, and Homozygous dogs can have no symptoms (including PVC's on a holter).
Aortic Stenosis is a developmental defect where there is a narrowing under the Aortic Valve in the Heart, this means the blood flow is disturbed and the heart has to work harder to get the results. The reduced blood flow can produce symptoms of fainting and even sudden death. The defect results in a Murmur that can be heard with a Stethoscope. The degree of severity of the defect will affect the strength of the Murmur.
Aortic Stenosis develops as the dog’s heart grows, assessing a young dog may be misleading. Many puppies have ‘Puppy or Flow Murmurs’ - most disappear by about 4 months of age. Even if the Puppy Murmur persists there may be no cause for alarm so long as they are quiet - genuine "Flow" Murmurs are not associated with heart disease in the adult. A pup that is free of Murmurs at 8 weeks of age, may develop a serious Murmur by the time it is 18 months old.
The best way to diagnose AS is to have an adult dog’s (over 1 year) heart listened to by a specialist Veterinary Cardiologist. The murmurs are graded on a scale from 0-5 - with 0 being a clear heart free of any murmur (HT0), and 5 being the worst. For a more accurate grading, Doppler examination is advisable.
Hip Dysplasia is the number one cause of rear lameness in dogs and results in an arthritic condition of the hip joint which is caused by a looseness in the joint, with the development of arthritis as the dog ages.
Diagnosis is made by X-Rays of the hip joint and does require general Anaesthesia. The X-Rays are evaluated by specialist Veterinary Radiologists. The dogs are graded as excellent, good, fair, borderline, or mildly, moderately, or severely dysplastic from 0-6 (0 being excellent and 6 severely dysplastic). The grading will depend on where the dog has scored on the score sheet. Dogs are also ranked with other members of its breed with a total score, the breed average score in Australia for Boxers is currently recorded at 14.89.
Hip Dysplasia is thought to be genetically inherited, but the way it is inherited has not been established, since multiple genes and environmental factors may play a role in its development. While some have questioned the frequency and severity of Hip Dysplasia in the Boxer, some breeders are now testing their dogs.
DM is similar to multiple sclerosis in people. It affects the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The CNS is responsible for carrying nerve impulses or messages to and from the muscles. Axons carry these messages and are similar to electrical wires. As with electrical wires, axons require insulation. Without insulation, the message leaks out. In the progression of DM, the myelin sheath (insulation) on the axon is damaged or slowly destroyed rendering the muscle incapable of carrying out a movement.
To date there is no cure for DM, however, there are several additional measures you can take that will help slow its progression, therefore maintaining your dog’s quality of life. Keep your dog at his appropriate weight. Extra weight will make his symptoms worse and add more stress to his joints. Aerobic workouts will be easier for a dog that is not overweight.
A DNA test is now available through the OFA (Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals). The test clearly identifies dogs that are clear (NN), those who are carriers (NA), and those who are at a greater risk of developing DM (AA). There are questions as to the frequency of Degenerative Myelopathy in Boxers in Australia, fortunately, we have yet to experience this debilitating disease. This is the next test we are preparing to undertake on our breeding stock (in 2010), and will be noted next to their names when completed by either DMN (normal), DMC (carrier) or DMA (affected).
Thyroid disease in the Boxer usually occurs as Hypothyroidism. It often develops slowly over several months or years.
Many breeds, including the Boxer, seem to be genetically predisposed to Hypothyroidism. Affected animals may have no energy, coarse coats, significant hair loss, gain weight, experience infertility and/or foetal resorption or show neurologic problems.
Diagnosis may be obtained by performing a panel of tests. Repeat testing may be recommended at regular intervals because the disease can be slow to develop and current test results may not predict future problems.
The Demodex mite lives on the skin of all dogs, and is passed to puppies by their dam. In healthy dogs, this mite causes no problems. However, Demodectic Mange can occur when a dog has a weakened or compromised immune system. There is the thought that all dogs that develop generalised Demodex should be desexed as there is a genetic link to the development of generalised Demodectic Mange.
Demodectic mange can occur in localised form, which is characterised by a few spots that do not itch. These patches usually appear on head, neck and fore limbs.
Boxers are particularly prone to the development of Mast Cell Tumours, Lymphoma and Brain Tumours. White boxers, and coloured boxers with white markings should be protected from the sun as they are more susceptible to skin cancer.
Bloat is a very serious condition that occurs when the stomach becomes distended with air, and then twists while dilated. This interferes with the blood supply to digestive organs, blocks the passage of food, thus leading to worse bloat. Dogs affected by bloat can die within hours.
Dogs most susceptible to bloat are the large, deep-chested breeds, in which the stomach appears to be more mobile within the abdomen. Risk factors are: hereditary predisposition, over-eating (large meals), rapid eating, eating dry food then drinking a lot of water. The risk of bloat increases with age.
Things you can do to help prevent bloat include:
Boxers can be prone to allergies, which can be environmental or food related. Some Symptoms are itchy, scaly and sometimes infected skin. For food related allergies, the best treatment is to feed the dog a BARF (Bones and Raw Food) Diet.

When you cross a Pomeranian with a Siberian Husky, you can imagine some of the variations that might occur. The Pomsky tends to be good natured and playful, gentle with kids and very lively. They are quick to learn and love to play, and tend to be quiet pups. Bored Pomskys have been known to act up by chewing.

Pet ownership in the United States has significantly increased over the years, and the demand for pet-friendly rental units is on the rise. Allowing pets on your rental might be tempting, as pet-friendly properties attract more prospective tenants, creating higher revenue and fewer vacancies. However, allowing pets on your rental can be risky.
If you want to turn your rental into a pet-friendly unit but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place! This article will dive into everything you should know about pet screening.
What Is Pet Screening?
The pet screening process is similar to tenant screening. It involves assessing a tenant’s pet to determine whether they’re a good fit for your rental. This screening process should be applied to all pets before being allowed on your property. It’s advisable to perform a pet screening every year.
What Are the Benefits of Pet-Friendly Rentals?
Turning your property into a pet-friendly rental comes with a number of benefits. Here are three of them:
Higher Market Value
Pet-friendly rentals attract a higher number of applicants. This can give your property a competitive edge and significantly improve its market value.
Finding Responsible Tenants
Taking good care of a pet is no easy task. It proves that a person is dedicated and responsible, which are two qualities you should look for in a tenant.
Moving can be a stressful experience for most pet owners. If a renter feels like their pet is welcome in your rental unit, they’ll be more likely to renew their lease and stay long-term.
What Does Pet Screening Entail?
Pet screening can help keep you and your investment safe. It allows you to weed out renters with pets that can cause property damage or liability issues.
Pet screenings provide you with knowledge about a pet’s health, behavior, and personality. This process often includes an application with a questionnaire, health screening documentation, and in-person meetings.
Most landlords choose to hire a third-party service to perform the screening. If you plan to do it yourself, here’s what you should check on every step:
You can start by requesting a pet screening application where owners can provide a general summary of what their pet is like. In this questionnaire, you can ask for general information about the pet, such as breed, age, and level of training.
You also want to ask health-related questions, like whether they’re up to date on vaccinations. Inquiring after the pet’s behavior is equally important, which can include asking if they’ve hurt a person or animal before and whether they have any behavior issues.
It is recommended to customize the questionnaire depending on the kind of pet that’s being screened. The following is a list of things you can ask if you’re dealing with a dog:
- Is your dog spayed or neutered? If not, do you plan to do so in the future?
- Have you and your dog completed any training courses?
- Do you keep your dog on a leash when going for walks?
- Do you clean up after your dog?
- How much time does your dog spend alone each day?
- Does your dog have any behavior issues such as bared teeth, growling, or excessive barking?
These are questions you can ask cat owners:
- Is your cat neutered or spayed? Do you plan to do that in the future?
- Do you keep your cat inside?
- Does your cat use a litter box?
- Is your cat registered? Does your cat have an identification?
While an application questionnaire can give you a good overview, conducting an in-person screening is advisable. Keep in mind that some pets can get nervous around new people, so the initial interaction may not be enough to determine whether they’re well-behaved.
If you do not have experience interacting with animals, it’s better to hire a licensed professional to handle the screening.
Should Pet Clauses Be Included in Lease Agreements?
Pet screening can reduce the risks that come with allowing pets into your rental property. Still, it’s advisable to add a pet clause in the lease agreement to keep yourself protected from liabilities. The clause should at least include the following points:
- Type of screening that’ll be conducted.
- Types of pets allowed in the property.
- Fees and deposits associated with your pet policy.
- Rules concerning pet waste and cleaning.
- Pet behavior and noise guidelines.
- Consequences and fees or breaking the rules.
Is Hiring a Pet Screening Service Worth It?
Screening pets can save you many headaches in the long run, but it can be time consuming. That’s why it’s highly advised to hire a third-party professional to handle it for you.
A professional screening service can help you determine the right fees to charge and what clauses to include in the lease to minimize pet-related issues. You wouldn’t have to look over each application by yourself or conduct pet interviews on your own. You’d be able to find the right tenant without a hassle.
Opening your rental property to pets can be highly beneficial. It can help you attract and retain long-term renters, as well as improve your property’s market value. However, it can also make you vulnerable to liabilities. Fortunately, you can avoid most of these risks with an effective pet screening process.
