In this article, Winchester City Museum volunteer, Abigail, takes a look back at the place dogs held in Roman society.
There can often be a tendency to overlook the parallels between people of the past and the communities we live in today in modern society – perhaps because we are so far temporally removed from them.
You might be tempted to think of the Romans as cold and remote, with no care for comfort, but did you know that they loved dogs just as much as we do now? The Romans would keep various animals as pets, including weasels, cats and parrots, but dogs were especially beloved. One of the most renowned Latin poets, Virgil, praised dogs for their guardianship, and the scholar Varro advised that every family should have a hunting dog and a watchdog.
On the Roman and Iron Age floor of Winchester City Museum lives Nyx in our Roman kitchen. But what might life have been like for Nyx?
The Romans went through many of the same steps for raising a dog as we do today. One of the first steps is to name the puppy. Greek historian Xenophon suggested that the best names were simple and short so that the dog could be called easily. He came up with a list of 46 names that he thought were suitable, but they sound unusual when translated into English. Some of the names he suggested were Radiant, Wine, Judgement and To Swell. However, some of the names Ovid uses in his Metamorphoses better resemble ours today, like Spot, Bear and Shaggy. As Nyx’s name is one-syllable and easy-to-call, she has a perfect Roman name!
Nyx would then be taught basic commands, like “sit”, “stay” and “follow”, and then additional commands based on her job. As Nyx is a hound, she would have been a hunting dog and taught to work in teams with other dogs and return prey undamaged. Nyx would have been rewarded with either food or praise. There are many references from Roman poets and writers that British dogs were very clever, swift and suited to hunting – the Roman poet Grattius even describes them as superior to the militarised and extinct dog breed, Molossus, from Ancient Greece.
Many other different jobs were taken up by dogs in Roman times, such as herding, guarding, lap and house dogs. Guard dogs would have been taught to growl and bark at intruders, while lap dogs would be trained more similarly to our pets today with tricks for entertainment. Like our dogs, Nyx would go for walks, chase animals, beg for food and take long naps when she wasn't training.
The epitaphs and mosaics dedicated to late pets are another reminder of how humanity has stayed the same for thousands of years. One of the most profound yet simple epitaphs reads: “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home in my own hands fifteen years ago.”
You can meet Nyx at Winchester City Museum, visit our website for full opening hours.

This week we had to say goodbye to one of our animal friends. Audrey was a beagle that we adopted from the local shelter 5 years ago. Since her second family surrendered her, her history was spotty at best. All that we knew was that she was originally named Chloe and her second family changed that name to Daisy. We named her Audrey Hepburn as her kohl-rimmed eyes and small frame made her look like she was fit to star with Fred Astaire in Funny Face. She had a penchant for eating Kleenex and loved kids despite occasionally chewing their plastic toys. She was obsessed with the cat. She was a sweet, gentle dog that had so much patience with our son.
We woke one morning in 2009, and Audrey was unable to walk. Her back end was completely paralyzed. We brought her to our local vet who in turn sent us to a specialist in Toronto. Apparently two of her thoracic vertebrae had hardened and burst chalky deposits putting pressure on her spinal cord. Without the recommended surgery, her spine cord would atrophy and die. While the surgery was very expensive (particularly on the reserve where it would have been the cost of a bullet), we decided that we liked the odds of an 80% success rate. I also could not consciously buy anything for myself ever again knowing that I did not do all that I could do to help her. We considered ourselves lucky that we had the money available to spend on the surgery.
She spent two weeks recovering in the fancy-shmancy Rosedale veterinary hospital and we brought her home for a long 6-week recovery. We carried her up and down stairs, massaged her leg muscles and did mobility exercises so that her strength would return. Her hair eventually grew back and she was ready to join our pack again. Our other two dogs were happy that a pesky dog gate no longer separated them from Audrey.
While she sometimes had days where her back end was really stiff, most days were filled with doggy happiness after the surgery. This past week, however, we noticed that she was starting to appear lamer and lamer. She had periods where she would shake and pant anxiously with pain. We took her to the emergency veterinarian where we ended her suffering. Although I had worked in a veterinary hospital and have done the same with my 18-year old childhood dog, it was not any easier. It was hard to see Fuzz suffer, as it was him who she ran up to and planted a huge kiss on that day we went to adopt a dog from the shelter. We didn’t choose her, she chose him.
We thank everyone that sent us kind words of condolences. It was truly appreciated as we lost an important part of our family. Our son has been walking around looking for Audrey. Our other dogs were howling and have spent most of the time sleeping. Fuzz is actually angrier than usual (who would have thought was possible?) and I have done my fair share of ugly cries. It will be an adjustment for all of us. While we did receive some off the mark comments such as “well at least you have one less dog to care for”, most people were sympathetic and we are thankful.
After reflecting on all that had happened this week, I was reminded of a story that my Granny had told me. She had told me that the dog lost the ability to speak after humans had rescued them. Although dogs and humans could never communicate verbally again, they would always maintain a special inter-species relationship and the dog would remain forever loyal – so loyal that a dog would sacrifice their own life to protect that of their human companion. I think I take comfort in the fact that maybe that’s just what Audrey was doing for us.

WOFO is ‘Pawsome’ for Pups
June 04, 2021
There’s no doubt about it. Woodforest is a “pawsome” place for family Fidos. In addition to loving homes and big backyards, there are plenty of ways for curious canines to sniff out some fun.
Yep, it’s a dog’s life here. Take a look at all the tail-wagging fun our furry friends can have in a day.
There are no hot dogs in Woodforest because they can cool off in two of Woodforest’s sparkling ponds. Cypress Pond and the pond at Christine Allen Nature Park allow pups to party so bring a stick for fetching and a towel for drying off.
Bark in the Park
Dogs have an opportunity to “raise the woof “when their families let them run leash-free in Admiral Bark Park. The park (named for our very first resident canine, Admiral Paul) includes play areas for large and small dogs and watering stations to keep them hydrated. Pups are also welcome at our other parks, but they have to stay on the leash.
Hikes for Hounds
They get to keep their owners in tip-top shape. Woodforest has miles and miles of trails, and our resident pups love going out for a walk or a jog with their humans. It’s also a chance for them to meet up with other furry friends and keep an eye on the local wildlife.
Pups love their people and coffee-loving people often take their friendly pooches with them to LUV Coffee for a “pup-accino.” Dogs are also welcome on the patio at Harvest Market. There are even water stations available there to slake their thirst.
On-site Medical Care
Keeping pups healthy is easy for concerned dog maws and “paws.” My Family Vet, located right here in Woodforest, provides wellness exams, vaccines, surgery, dental care and telemedicine.
Well, not all of the time. But this month, we are celebrating the dog days of summer with pup perks including a free dog leash, treats and a map to even more dog-friendly surprises in the community. Stop by The Palm information Center, 251 Central Pine Street.
Come out to "Pawtraits" on Saturday, June 26th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Have your camera-ready canine photographed by a professional photographer in beautiful Christine Allen Nature Park, 5831 Woodforest Parkway South. (Dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccines.)
WOFO The ‘Ulti-mutt’ Home for Dogs
With so much to do, it’s no wonder Woodforest is “pup-ular” with dogs and their owners. Do you think your four-legged family member would say “Woof!” for WOFO?

There are many areas where this beautiful animal can perform special tasks. Hence it is always loved by animal lovers.

One of my oldest cats, Sophie (a.k.a. Sophie-Kitten) died today in England.
She was about 24 years old and had lived a wonderful life. My parents and I got her when she was just a tiny kitten back when I was younger and living in England with my parents. I moved to The Netherlands 13 years ago and have other cats now but have been back and seen the others at my parents place several times over the years.
Sophie had a lovely nature and was a cheek little scamp. She never really grew very big and always looked like a young kitten, no matter how old she got.
She had almost boundless energy and could jump up to the highest places in the house, looking down on us with a very proud look as she sat there!
She used to love sitting on my shoulders and would eagerly jump up on them any chance she got. She also used to enjoy sitting on my stomach while I had a bath!
Rest in peace Sophie, we shall all miss you.


Nose work is not only great fun for dogs and their owners, it has also proven to have a calming and balancing effect on our canine friends. As it stimulates your dog’s natural instincts, it is an excellent way to counterbalance everyday stress and frustration. It can also be an interesting indoor activity for the hot summer months or if your dog has limited access to the outdoors.
This sport is all about teamwork! While it offers plenty of exercise, it will help fine tune coordination and team building skills.
It is a known method to train horses which has successfully been adapted for dog training. Longing focuses on slow, coordinated and cooperative team work with your dog. It is the ideal way to optimize the control over your dog from a distance and has also proofed to be an efficient therapeutic method to re-socialize dogs or treat aggressive behaviour.
If you are looking for some fun and your dog is already well behaved, teaching your dog new tricks will help maintaining a good training level while keeping you and your dog mentally fit. It is also a fun way to strengthen the bond between kids and their four-legged friend and nurture cooperation between them.

As I live in the state of Washington we all know it rains a lot. Sometimes that is when the creative side in you has to come out. I started this blog but I do not have any up coming sessions so I needed to come up with something. Little did the dogs know (yes there is 4) they had a photo shoot right in my dining room today around 2pm. At first I was only going to pick one dog and post a story about him but why not post all 4 dogs in a bow tie they were all so good.
People always ask how you get such get great shots of your dogs. The first thing is the environment, I take pictures of them where they are comfortable. They are relaxed so when I say the word goodie magical things happens ha-ha. This was done in my dining room in front of my sliding glass door for the natural light since it was so gloomy I added the extended flash for a better light also because they would stay still. Here are the photos who is your favorite?
This old man is the first animal my husband and I ever got. We bought him from a pet store in Renton really my step-mom bought him and we paid her back. As a puppy all I remember is all the paper he shredded any paper and all paper. We took him everywhere we went I swear the first half of his life he lived in the car because he just howled at home if we left him by himself the neighbors at the time let us know of that one. He hates to get wet and is the first to bark when her hears anything. He is our only dog that needs a hair cut once we let it grow all the way to the ground bad idea. He doesn’t shed and has a great personality he is definitely my husbands dog that is for sure.
Chase we got for free from my dads cleaning lady (for his company) at the time. Her dog had puppies with a stray and we ended up getting him at 6 weeks 2 weeks to early but it was the situation at the time. My mom and sister ended up taking a puppy as well so there was 3 of us that went home with puppies. Chase was the hardest to potty train but once it clicked no problems. He is definitely my dog he is by my side as all times and has to be on your lap or under a blanket. To be honest the blanket thing is a little crazy sometimes it is the only way he will stop whining. He has to have his goodies or again the whining. Overall he is a good dog and kind of cute if you ask me oh and the bow tie was a little big but of course that is a given.
Cash was from the first litter (out of 2) puppies that an old friend had. He originally went to her parents but as he was small he got picked on from another dog so it didn’t work out. We took him with the thoughts to give him to my mother as a friend for Q-ball (Chases sister). He was not fully potty trained so she wouldn’t take him. We kept him thinking once he is trained we will give him to my mom. Once he was trained, it was just bad timing. Well by this time he had become part of our family and started to come out of his shell so we kept him. He listens the best and is the quietest dog of the bunch. He hates collars (shock collar when young) which means to get the ears to perked up in this picture I had to say want a goodie? Which of course he got one in the end.
Judo is actually my roommates dog. That doesn’t matter though he has become family and has lived with us for about 2 years. He is so gentle with the little dogs and he is just the monster of the house. We have to crate him almost for his own safety. The last few times we have left him out well shall we say he shredded carpet, chewed wood door frames oh and the countless blankets we have tried to put in the crate for his comfort. If he doesn’t know you better prepare yourself to be barked at by a JUDO. He takes great pictures but I am sure that is because he listens so well.
Well those are the 4 dog in this household and my go to photo subjects so don’t be surprised if you see more of them through out the winter. Myself I think Judos pictures turned out the best maybe it is the lighter colors or the staring at the camera but overall he is my favorite photo of the 4. Thanks for reading on my rainy bored day. -Lexie

This post is only and only about our dog’s very first day at home. If you don’t like dogs, (well, you are a terrible person) just skip it and go back to your sad life
We wanted to have a dog since.. forever? But for the past 1,5 years we’re actively planning to have a dog. My roomie, tirrivirri has spent the half of the past year at Italy, so we postponed our dreams until her return.
Some things were certain. We didn’t want to pay for a dog (I mean,how could you BUY animals??) we didn’t want a big dog since we don’t own a house with garden andit would be cruel for the dog.
After we stated to follow pages and websites do adopt a dog, we realised that it won’t be easy. Most of the people who want to give their dogs act like “we can only let families adopt him/her” “We’re only giving our baby to the people who are 25 years old or older” “She can’t be alone at home, no matter what” etc. It was kinda hard. After cople of months, we’ve decided to try our chance at a shelter. We knew it would be heartbreaking since these places are full of unhealty, old or disabled dogs and we simply can’t take care of them.
We decided to visit Yedikule shelter (Municipality of Fatih – Yedikule Shelter and Rehabilitation Center for Stray Animals is the full name) after we’ve seen a beagle in their website When we visited, she was long gone but it was sure that we were going to adopt out dog from there.
I don’t know much about the animal shelters in other countries but in Turkey, they take care of dogs and cats in need and help families adopt them. Yedikule is just like that. They work voluntarily and when people visit, they bring dog and cat foods, biscuits, medicine etc. to help them.
Anyways, there were really cute dogs there, we’ve seen about 100-200 of them (whole shelter has 3000+ dogs in their facility) We applied to adopt, they’ve given us a certain time to meet. Since tirrivirri was busy I went there alone this time. I was kinda nervous because I’ve read that Mrs. Meral Olcay (the voluntary manager ) is strict about people who want to adopt. And you know, we’re not a familt, just two people living together, and I had peuple hair etc.. But she helped a lot, and told me that the dog that we wanted couldn’t be alone in the house due to his aggresive manners, but they had a cocker we didn’t see before. I went to the place she lived with volunteers (15+ dogs attacked me to play in a very small room, it was a little bit scary at first. Also, goodbye my fav pants ) when they were all over me to play this cocker was at the other side of the room, clapping her paws. I knew she was the one.
Getting her was a little bit harder. Waited for tirrivirri for couple of hours, it was just after their closing time when she arrived, and people at the shelter were like “but you’ve decided right, just want to see again?” they brought the dog and OH MY GOD! she was so adorable !! She had her shots, we bought her some stuff ( you can buy them from the shelter to help them) And some hours after we were ready to go. She was nervoud on the way home. There was so much traffic. She slept and try to play and slept again but she was calmer when we got home.
We’ve given her some medicine, cooked her dinner (we were too lazy to cook for ourselves, but not for her!) After that we went outside (we didn’t even know that she was toilet training, AND SHE WAS!!) she just ran everywhere, smelled everything. After spending so much time in a little room at shelter, she was super energetic.
After we got home she was sleepy we let her sleep on her pillow (we even gave her a blanket, because.. reasons??) Sure she got up at 4:00 am and went crazy but somehow we went back to sleep. I had to get up at 8, and we got out (she had to pee) and we walked through the streets about an hour.
Anyways, it was her first day at home. In the morning we had a short walk but I had to go to work, Tirrivirri stayed with her until her class and I came home just a little early. She’s spent an hour alone at home and everything were in place. Cool!
Right now, she’s sleeping next to me with her stupid violet blanket (actually leftover fabric from my Meg cosplay but she doesn’t have to know that ) and I can simply say that this is just like what i imagined.
If you’re planning to have a dog, just go to a shelter and adopt. You’re going to see that it’s the right desicion. And if you can’t , please hlep them, take them food or work at these places voluntarily. I want to thank Meral Olcay and Yedikule Shelter and Rehabilitation Center for Stray Animals again and again for making our dreams come true and giving her to us.
She’s the most beautiful cocker, about two years old, spayed, has light coat and big beautiful black eyes. Her name used to be Yağmur (meaning Rain in Turkish, and it was raining A LOT when we had her) but we’ve decided to change her name to Cookie, because she’s cookie colored and sweet :3
This was Cookie’s story. I’ll post more and more about her later <3


I was typing an e-mail to opposing counsel yesterday when Bax called me. She asked if I would go down to the cafeteria and buy as many plain bagels as I could. I ran downstairs, got eight bagels, and headed to the parking lot.
There I found Bax and Rescuer with three very hungry abandoned dogs.
Some mean person dumped them in our parking lot. Apparently, this is not the first time this has happened. Rescuer adopted her own dog after finding her in this same lot last year.
I don't understand how people can do this. These three dogs were so incredibly nice and gentle. They deserve to be cherished by loving families, not left to their own devices in a hot parking lot.
We gave them water and bagels.
I snapped a few quick photos and headed back up to work, but Bax and Rescuer very kindly stayed with the dogs until help came or until they decided to drive them to a no-kill shelter themselves. I'm not sure what ultimately happened, but I know those girls would do anything to save these sweeties.
This little guy was so adorable. I named him Parker, as we found him in a parking lot. He was probably about a year old. Rescuer had a leash in her car, so she put it on him for safe keeping.
This guy had such a bad case of mange. We all felt so bad for him. He was so friendly and constantly wagged his tail at us. I started off calling him Mangy, but then I decided that wasn't such a nice name. Instead, he became Mangi (think mangia without the "a") because he was so hungry.
Mangi and Pita were very attached to each other.
I really hope they all find homes. Please think good thoughts!
UPDATE: Click here to find out what happened to Parker....


Dog bite cases are common and often lead to serious injuries or even death. In Florida, dog owners are held strictly liable for the damaging actions of their pet. In other words, to determine the liability of a dog owner, reference to Florida's strict liability statutes will have to be made. Also, the specific facts of each respective case plays a key role in evaluating the liability and damages of a dog bite case. Preserving evidence after a dog bite takes place is important in order to avoid the dog owner's attempt to raise an affirmative legal defense.

Most kittens and cats are incredibly productive creatures. That’s why cat water fountains offer an exceptional means to fix many possible health and hydration concerns for your family pet.
Cat water fountains also boast great comfort for critical pet cat users. An automated pet fountain offers 24/7 usage of freely-flowing water, which may guard your pet against renal ailments possibly expected from an absence of proper hydration.
Most of the best cat water fountains have entry from at least 3 sides, that allows multiple cats to consume concurrently.
I. Importance of cat water fountains
Although it seems sensible to state living animals need water to live, the total amount necessary is incredibly important to think about. For a feline, enjoying plenty of water guarantees smooth hair, damp gum line and sharp eyes, and steering clear of bowel problems. Via normal regular peeing, kidney infection and the build-up of crystals inside the urinary tract can be prevented. Whilst woman pet cats can continue to experience the consequences of insufficient water consumption, men cats have a chance for urinary tract issues.
It is possible for damp food to beat dry cat foods. Not just because it has lot more protein and fewer carbs in moist food (the best thing), but much more drinking water also. Since residential pet cats don’t drink as significantly as they are supposed to, offering this drinking water through their food will certainly assist in the battle for correct moisture or hydration.
II. Cats Enjoy Drinking water
Something that pet cats enjoy is flowing water. They love to play with it, drink it, and quite often just gaze at it. On the other hand, many pet cats will never drink water from the container that is certainly not moving. We don’t actually know what they are thinking, but we certainly know it is really not obvious for a cat to consume from the bowl of stagnant water. It is more organic to allow them to drink from the normal water supply, and this is where the cat water fountain comes into the picture.
III. Many Designs and Styles
Like the majority of pet things, cat water fountains can be found in many sizes and shapes, which range from individual pet cat usage to getting several pet cats consume in tandem from your fountain. The water constantly taste’s fresh, since the filtration system eliminates any pollutants and also the stagnant preference via a charcoal filter.
Some models spin water in a circular way just like a stream, while some supply free-slipping waterfall effects to amuse. Some models provide areas for food or herb development. Most of the cat water fountains are very faint for hearing, so noise shouldn’t be a problem.
IV. Benefits of Cat Water Fountain
There are many great benefits of a pet cat water fountain. They have a tremendous amount of water, but this water is continually circulated through a filtration system and purifier and aerated to help keep its fresh, bubbly consistent and sound.
Having your cat to consume much more water can help get rid of crystals, and so steer clear of agonising urinary pathway conditions of your cat as well as reducing or getting rid of vet trips. In the kittens and cats with CRI, enjoying independently will help minimise the amount of treatment you have to do for the more mature cat, once again reducing veterinary clinic appointments.
As they grow older, numerous kittens and cats develop long-term renal system illness. The renal system can’t urine to help keep water within the body so kittens and cats must consume much more drinking water to keep themselves well hydrated. Nevertheless, because of their poor thirst mechanisms and normal water resource disadvantages, cats may well not consume water in case of dehydration. These pet cats can get progressively sicker as a result of dehydration, turning kidney insufficiency into kidney malfunction.
Drink more water
For the majority of pet cats, drinking water fountains is the simplest way to get your cat to consume more water. Pet cats are in a natural way fascinated and therefore are drawn to objects that are moving, regardless of whether they are toys, games, light or drinking water. Generally, most cats are drawn to the attractive view and audio of water which is constantly moving. Most kittens and cats will start by messing around with the fountain and lick the water from their toes. They quickly find out the normal water is really refreshing.
Cat water fountains are not only practical for you as a pet owner, but they could really prove to be great in keeping your cat wholesome and healthy. Generally speaking, kittens and cats enjoy running water, and that is what your cat water fountain made for. They may just sit there and look at it for a while, or they may put their paw into the drinking water and have fun with it. But soon they will likely realise this is their normal water resource and can start enjoying the fountain.

She went to school in Southern California before moving to Las Vegas in 2002 with her husband. Lisa can't imagine a life without furry friends. They are her children. For years she had two Schipperkes (Carlee & Teddy) and a gray tabby cat (Chase). Unfortunately, her Schipps and Chase have passed over to Rainbow Bridge.

EDGE Interview: Talking with Gabriel Feitosa: Getting Creative with Dog Grooming
Steve Duffy READ TIME: 6 MIN.
As a child in his native Brazil Gabriel Feitosa wanted to be an artist. Then at the age of 12, he discovered dog grooming and learned that he could turn animals into art.
It was when he took his sister's dog, Icaro, to a groomer in Sao Paulo and became fascinated with the process. "I thought, 'Wow, this lady gets to play with dogs all day and make money?'" he says. "I just got obsessed," |he told the CNBC show "Make It."
He became so obsessed that he quit high school to pursue a career in grooming. At 23 he took a grooming internship with a dog breeder in Sacramento, Calif. and moved to the U.S. where he worked with groomers across the country before setting in San Diego in 2017 with his husband at the time. to worked part-time at a dog groomer who also ran a bakery. After a few months, Feitosa was offered to buy the dog grooming business that was located behind a dog treat bakery, both of which ran successfully until the start of the pandemic, at which time it closed for two months.
In that time, Feitosa's business partner retired and he took over the entire building; and he reopened as an essential business. In 2021, Feitosa was cast on "Pooch Perfect," a competition TV show for dog grooming artists on ABC, where he was a finalist. His salon services 500 dogs per month that are cared for by Feitosa and his 10 employees. Last year his salon grossed some $1.2 million.
The hunky 31-year-old dog grooming artist also has a social media presence of 2 million followers on TikTok and 400,000 on Instagram. He also $125,000 that same year from brand deals and sponsorships, according to the New York Post.
Feitosa also is a big believer in giving back to the community. Just this week, NBC San Diego reported that he recently partnered with The San Diego Humane Society to help them increase the chances that overlooked dogs can be adopted from their shelter, which is near capacity. "We're hoping that by giving them a good time and a spa treatment on top of it, making it more visible, that they would be more noticed," Feitosa said. "We have a chance to give them hopefully a forever home."
EDGE spoke with the camera-friendly Feitosa about his love of animals, his love of dog grooming, any abuse concerns, and how to handle a dog reluctant to be groomed.
EDGE: Tell us a little bit about yourself?
Gabriel Feitosa: I am a 31-year-old gay Brazilian and a proud dog dad.
EDGE: How did you get your start in dog grooming?
Gabriel Feitosa: I met a groomer when I was about 12 years old, and I asked her to teach me how to groom. I got obsessed with it. I have always thought that dogs are the most incredible animals. I thought that they were like living sculptures and grooming offered so many different techniques. I was so excited to learn how to do it.
EDGE: Does your creation depend on the breed of the dog?
Gabriel Feitosa: It sure does. The creative process depends on the type of dog, the color of the hair, and the natural pattern of the dog. It all has to align with each other.
EDGE: Do you also take requests?
Gabriel Feitosa: You can request, but then I will help guide to what is the best look for your dog. Let's say you want a giraffe, but your dog is a pug, that is probably not going to work. We will discuss your favorite color scheme, favorite animal print, and how long you want the color to last. It will definitely be a team effort in creating the perfect look for your dog.
EDGE: Which breed of dog is your favorite client to work with?
Gabriel Feitosa: The poodle, because they're tall, they have a lot of hair, and their colors are solid. So, anything that you put on them comes out amazing.
EDGE: How do you respond to people that say this is animal abuse?
Gabriel Feitosa: This is a new thing, so I understand people's concerns when it comes dyeing a dog's hair a different color. Most people have never seen anything like this before. Before I started doing it, I'd never seen it done before. I probably would've been concerned too.. I probably would've been concerned too. I can assure you that it is safe. The dye is non-toxic and made for pets. I am not going to put any dog through any type of stress or discomfort. The hair dye brings the dogs a lot of attention, which is something that they do understand and does impact their lives. I have refused a lot of clients when I thought the dog wasn't ready for this type of service, especially if they show any type of anxiety towards grooming.
EDGE: Do you work with any other kind of pets?
Gabriel Feitosa: There are groomers that do creative things with cats, but I only work with dogs. I've groomed a goat when I was on "Pooch Perfect."
EDGE: Do you have any tips for dogs who hate getting groomed?
Gabriel Feitosa: The key is desensitization. For example, if your dog doesn't like the clipper, you can take an electric toothbrush and turn it on near them while gently massaging them. Do it when your dog is at home laying the couch or sleeping. Practice it in a calm setting. A setting that they trust and are familiar with. The same thing with the water. If your dog is afraid of water, bring him to the bathroom and turn on the shower. Don't place him in there, just let him get used to the sound of running water.
After a while, place him in the tub. So little by little you can get them acclimated to the noises and the processes of the dog grooming experience. I always tell my clients, as soon as they have their shots, go outside with them interact with people. Let strangers pet them. Ask friends and family members to touch your dog's paws and ears. The more desensitized and comfortable they are with these behaviors the better they will do while getting groomed.
EDGE: What impact did appearing on ABC's reality show "Pooch Perfect" in 2020 have on your career?
Gabriel Feitosa: It had a bigger impact than I imagined at the time. I thought because I was on a TV show that my social media was going to blow up and it really didn't. It was an incredible opportunity because I came from the slums of Sao Paulo, and I never imagined myself in Hollywood and on a prime time tv show. This was an incredible personal and professional achievement for me. When the show ended, I didn't get any reaction, but my career moved forward, and I started posting on social media and that's when it blew up. That's when I realized how much "Pooch Perfect" had become the backbone of my new career. When customers come into the shop that's when they remember I was on the show.
EDGE: Scooby Doo, Snoopy, or Pluto – which one would you choose to makeover and why?
Gabriel Feitosa: I'd make over Snoopy because he has white hair and there's a lot you we can do with it. Plus, kids love him, so they would probably get excited when they saw him.

Today is the second day that I have let the chickens run freely in the garden. They seem very happy and explore every inch of that space including the compost piles. I guess they are finding worms and all sorts of bugs hidden in the many fertile places there in the garden. We took the grand boys down to see the chickens and they had fun feeding bread and assorted things to the six chickens. Bric caught one and let Brayden and Bricen hold and pet them. The chickens are very well mannered and are not frightened of any of us at all. They continue to scratch and move around confidently no matter how close we get to them. They have scratched up and changed the entire gropund there in the garden. It looks as though someone has come through with a roto-tiller and run it over the whole area, even in the walkway.
The cats move quietly through the garden and the chickens show them no attention at all. The dogs however, are another matter, they lunge at the birds and bang against the garden fence while the chickens do their best to ignore them. The chickens should be very grateful for the protection of the fence.

People love their dogs. Check out Facebook–on any given day forty percent of all posts will in some way involve a dog, be it a cute little video clip of a beagle chasing his tail, a picture having some fun with dog shaming as the chastised pet wears a funny sign around his neck, or simply a photo of a kid and his treasured best friend. More and more we are also seeing people bring their dogs to work. Think about it, for the small business owner in particular who perhaps has a bit more flexibility when it comes to office policies on dog visits, a pet makes an excellent officemate. Here are a few breeds that would make ideal candidates for “Take your dog to work day”:
Shih tzu: The shih tzu’s unobtrusive demeanor works exceedingly well in environments in which it is crucial that the pet not draw too much attention to itself. A relatively quiet, non-shedding breed, the shih tzu is also rather amusing and can, almost on cue, be counted on to make you smile. Due to its size, the dog has absolutely no problem cuddling on your lap when you need a midday break. And they are just so stinkin’ cute.
Bulldog: The bulldog also is a low shedder, so again, good for the office environment. As long as you don’t mind a bit of drool now and then, the bulldog possesses an impressive and yet extraordinarily friendly presence. For some reason people love to pet bulldogs; must be all that cute, wrinkly skin.
Mutt. Yes, the tried and true American mutt is an excellent choice for your officemate. The number of dogs who are abandoned or sent to shelters increases every year. The need for people to adopt and rescue dogs is urgent. Who better to help you through a hard day at the office, or make you smile when everything seems to be going wrong, or lick your hand and let you know that you at least have one true friend, then a dog for whom you have made all the difference in the world.

If you’re considering some last-minute charitable donations this year, your local animal shelter or humane society might be a good candidate. But don’t be fooled and think that a donation to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will benefit shelter dogs and cats. It doesn’t.

Hello there, bunny lovers of all ages, races, religions and creeds! Should you choose outdoor or indoor rabbit hutch (or cage)? We are all united by our love for our pet bunnies and our desires to care for them in the best possible way. Do I sound crazy? Well, I am. CRAZY ABOUT BUNNIES!! That is why I have devoted so much time into becoming a bunny expert. I love helping people become the best owners that they can be, and…
I love rabbits. I always have. They are cute, soft, and cuddly. But, more than that, they are wonderful companions and pets with a great deal of personality and spunk. I have had many bunnies over the years and have used probably close to a dozen or so cages and hutches in that time. I have found what works, and what doesn’t. It has been a labor of love finding the perfect residences for my fuzzy cuddle buddies and, soon, I hope to become a bunny foster mom so my experience and expertise will come in handy! I am excited about this new adventure and I know that part of my new job as foster mom to the rabbits is to help educate their new owners/parents.
In this article, I will put my pet owner education skills to the test and I hope that I can be of aid to you in your search.
Are you a new bunny owner? Or are you just looking for a new home for your furry friend? Either way, I am here to help you make the best decision for yourself, your and (always!) your pet. Today, I want to share with you my insights into your pet’s living quarters. Everyone’s situation is different and there is no one hutch or cage that is great for everyone. But, I can give you some great guidelines and advice to make the best possible choice, whether you’re looking for an indoor rabbit hutch, an outdoor rabbit hutch or a simple cage for a classroom or bedroom.
There are some very elaborate cages and dwellings, and other much plainer and simpler ones. You will see some with amazing design elements and others that are ultra-convenient and simple cages. What works for you is your decision.

It is typical to see your pets scratching their body, but if it becomes strange, you should be alarmed because fleas might have made their way into your fluffy friends. Fleas tend to feed on your pets’ blood that’s why dogs and cats will continuously scratch to relieve the itchiness. The pest will find their hiding place like tail, groin, head, neck, and armpits, which are hard to reach areas. When fleas attack, your pets will scratch strangely. Also, you should be mindful of their unusual biting or licking as it can also be a sign that they have fleas. If you don’t want your pets to suffer from any infestation, all you need is a professional pest exterminator in Concord, and you’re good to go.

Your fluffy friends can experience hair loss or alopecia for several reasons, and one of which is due to fleas. If you see that your dogs or cats are losing hair, you should immediately take action as your pets might be suffering from the wrath of fleas.

It can be inconvenient to the pets that’s why you will see them feel restless or will do strange scratching which can worsen the bumps and might lead to dry skin or hair loss. According to a pest expert in Concord, when you see red bumps in your pets’ bodies, you should instantly treat it to prevent any infection which can worsen your pets’ condition. Untreated red bumps can be the cause of severe diseases which can be dangerous for your fluffy friends. If you see red bumps, make a move because it is a top sign that fleas are in your pets.
5. Gums are Pale
Your pets can experience pale gums if fleas infest them. If you find out that your cats or dogs’ gums are becoming pale, it only means that fleas have already made their way into your furry friends. Since fleas feed on blood, severe infestation can lead your pets to anemia where the red blood cell decreases. If this occurs, it can lead to pale gums and other conditions like lethargy and muscle loss. With this, your pets, especially cats, can suffer if you don’t make any solution. If you want to keep your pets healthy and active, let a pest control company in Concord eliminate those pesky fleas once and for all.

Not really new, but now better than ever, and always such a good source of peace of mind for pet owners. Tracking devices are a modern-day lifesaver for your pet. Today, most pet trackers use GPS or cellular technology attached to your dog’s collar and track their whereabouts. Quickly view your pet’s location through an interactive map via your smartphone, computer, or tablet. If your dog or cat gets out of the house/your property, the device will send you push notifications, texts, and emails so you’ll be informed.
If you’re away or just busy doing other tasks, or if your pet needs a strict routine when it comes to food, an automatic pet feeder dispenses your pet’s food easily. You can set up a feeding schedule via smartphone or other smart home devices.
Use pet-specific metrics to determine portion sizes to control feeding better. This helps your pet weight management. If you have multiple dogs and they eat different foods, the feeder will allow you to control which one eats which food. It has identification technology to detect which pet is at their bowl to manage food access. With this, you’ll make sure that your pet is eating the food intended for them and their specific needs.
Smart Water Fountain
Your pet’s usual water bowls may be a bit boring. Try to upgrade it to a smart water fountain. This smart water fountain can hold a lot of water and quietly dispenses it in different modes like bubbling, flowing and more, great for dogs and cats who are too lazy to drink water.
Through your smartphone app, track how much water your pet drinks and keep the records of their drinking history. It also contains a carbon filter that keeps water free of contaminants and water changing reminders.
If you have a few security cameras inside and outside your home, a pet-specific camera is right for you! This camera lets you keep an eye on pets, and interact with them while you’re away from home.
The camera is placed at eye-level for face to face interaction while the built-in laser keeps them engaged. It can be connected to your smartphone, so it’s easy to watch over your pet. This is really helpful for added stimulation when your pet may be feeling bored or anxious.
Pet on Wheels
Though we stay at home during these times, there may be times you need to go out and bring your pet, whether it’s just your neighbourhood or in the nearest supermarket. Consider using a Pet on Wheels carrier on your bicycle, motorcycle or scooter.
All you need is to attach it in your two-wheel vehicle, place your pet, and lock it after using.

No doubt, you love your furry friends that much, but it can be a pain to clean up their hair continually. Luckily, a robot vacuum cleaner can help you maintain clean floors and furniture.
