Can you recognize when your dog is feeling stressed or fearful? Check out this comprehensive graphic guide from our friends at Forever Hounds Trust.

Dog parks a peaceful place for community to gather without the pressure to ask each other’s names. Thus is brilliant and beautiful.

When The Courtyard's pet area debuts this fall, homeless advocates hope it will remove a barrier that keeps people from getting the help they need.

There are those who are offered housing but refuse it when they are told their pet won’t be allowed. So sad. So wrong.

There are those who are offered housing but refuse it when they are told their pet won’t be allowed. So sad. So wrong.

Pets should be allowed in city-subsidized housing.

Pretty much party and have s*x.... That's the best way you can celebrate the abundance that is life!!

Even if humans have trouble telling time in the "land of the midnight sun," many animals can adjust their schedules to the summer solstice.

I usually call this the "I'm gonna git you!" game. I'm posting this because I've seen many a fight break out that started "just as play".

I add to this list. I break up play when:
One of the dogs runs away with tail tucked
Flashes teeth
Growls
When ear pulling gets too forceful (nursed way too many unwanted floppy pierced ears!!)

I've also noticed that when I break up the play at those points consistently, the dogs learn to expect that it's coming and so they tend to check in with me. I watch for this and mark when it happens to reward the glance at me.

This is a dog learning what's appropriate and what's not. I love it.

Favorite line from this article:

"Yelling, punishing or panicking just adds tension where it is not needed."

On the surface, your dogs look like they're just pretending to kill each other. Bitey Face is actually an interpretive dance, a back and forth conversation.

There is way more information in this book than any one person is likely to read cover to cover (besides Mary Alice) and that’s perfectly fine with me because if you get this book and you find one thing that helps you and your dog you are, in turn helping our community. Dtla is jungle. This book is your instinct sharpener and connector to other like minded people, entrepreneurs and of course

What was so sweet was that people kept wanting to give him money and when he said he doesn’t accept money-only food-people we’re digging in their bags to try and find something to give him. We hide it well people, but no one is really fooled. All we really want is Love. Aria says, “Duh.” (But she’s a sneaky Love master so of course she’d say that 🙄)

I started dog walking 14 years ago so that I could also dedicate myself to writing poetry everyday. I got lost for a while thinking that I had to do more than that. Always good to come home to simplicity. My poetry is often dog analogous. You can find some of it on tumblr at citystrut life.tumblr.com

Fostering this little nugget this week. Three-year-old, female bichon frise.
We are calling her Vivi. She is a snuggle womp but if you want to adopt her, I would consider putting her on a diet. She’s currently built like a pygmy hippo 👍💖🐑

Dog-walk service Wag! in doghouse for losing another pet

I like the idea of the Wag app but the reality when the walker is always changing is that the dog has no bond with their walker and when something happens (cause something always happens) the dog doesn't trust the walker to stay by them and runs away. It's too common.

A popular pet-sitting service is back in the doghouse after one of its handlers lost a Long Island family's beloved Beagle-Labrador mix.
