    Kill Shelters...do they really exist!!!

    I agree. I love good breeders; When I have bought or rescued, it has always been from reputable breeders. What I meant is that not rescuing existing dogs in favour of new dogs, means dogs have to die. It's a horrible choice.

    Kill Shelters...do they really exist!!!

    That is true but many dogs end up in shelters because owners cannot cope - circumstances change, financially, martially, etc. With the explosion in dog-a-poos, unscrupulous breeders abound. My friend asked me to check out a poo that she wanted to buy. The 'breeder' was saying the puppy must go...

    Kill Shelters...do they really exist!!!

    Absolutely true. I cannot help thinking though, that getting dog from a breeder means that I am consigning a dog in a shelter to death. It's a horrible thought. I want a puppy and one with particular, somewhat admired and predictable traits. I want to puppy because I have relatively young...

    Kill Shelters...do they really exist!!!

    The lady that posted sent this picture, outlining the outcome for dogs in one area for the month of June 2018. It suggests that at least 200 healthy and treatable pets were euthanised in that month, alone. I don't know how many centres there are in the US but that could potentially add up to a...

    I was recently reading a posting on Facebook about the US having Kill Shelters for dogs. It sounds oxymoronic but is it true?

    The saddest song you will ever hear a dog sing!

    What talents do your dogs have? Does he sing? Can she speak? I know dogs have all manner of talents. Today, I heard my dog sing the saddest song ever. Talent show judges always comment when the performer makes them feel an emotion - makes them believe. Do you think Trunk's singing with real...

    Same here. Trunks has the children and I around all day; he's constantly in the room with one of us.

    COVID-19 & Dog Socialisation

    As I was walking Trunks this morning, it occurred to me that he is hardly interacting with other dogs these days. Similarly, I hardly get to chat with other dog owners and no one comes to our house anymore. Aside from the negative impacts on myself and my family, i started to think of the...
