Oh my gosh! A happy video of a happy unstressed dog willingly asking for interaction from their human.

Little dogs often need to yell at the top of their little lungs for us to hear they need space!!! They are often captives in a humans arms, in a purse, in a shopping cart, etc. They have no way to escape if they feel they need to move away to gain personal space. Please take a moment to read the wisdom from Heal the Dog…….

Oh my gosh!!!!! Birds can be SO much fun. They do require the same amount, or more, attention than dogs do to ensure they have fulfilled lives.

Happy Morning Fuzzy Friends!
Solar lights! It was all about the chit chat yesterday and catching a glimpse. I found this interesting short write up about
one of the Earths present cycles and how they effect our Fuzzy Friends (and humans). Feed your brain…….

Solar storms and how it may impact your dogs.

Scientific studies have repeatedly demonstrated that dogs are sensitive to geomagnetic changes.

Currently the earth is experiencing a powerful solar storm. It's effects on our dogs should not be underestimated. Especially our sensitive working dogs who are bred to have a heightened sense of direction. Dogs who are anxious or nervous may experience exacerbated symptoms. Dogs are sensitive to even small changes in the earth's magnetic field, this current storm is big and disruptive.

Epileptic dogs and people may be affected. There is a huge body of evidence relating to solar storms and seizures, have a little Google, there's too many relevant bits of literature to post here.

What can you do? Dogs are at increased risk of becoming disorientated in new environments, keep them on lead, in sight, have a heightened awareness of where they are. For dogs who rely on their sense of direction for work such as sheepdogs working hills, search and rescue dogs, tracking dogs, hunting dogs and trail dogs, it might be worth evaluating putting off any work where a dog may get lost. This is not me being a f***y either, I've already heard of a couple of normally savvy dogs becoming lost and disoriented in the north of Scotland, out of character for them.

In humans existing mental health conditions can worsen temporarily, particularly conditions caused by or associated with trauma, where your integral ability to orientate becomes distrupted and makes you feel unsafe, increasing anxiety and hypervigilance. This change in your presentation can also impact your dogs.

Just something to be aware of. As much as it sounds like hippy woo woo nonsense, I can assure you, it's a thing.

"the idea that animals can detect Earth’s magnetic field has traveled the path from ridicule to well-established fact in little more than one generation. Dozens of experiments have now shown that diverse animal species, ranging from bees to salamanders to sea turtles to birds, have internal compasses. Some species use their compasses to navigate entire oceans, others to find better mud just a few inches away."

With all the videos on social media that make me cringe, this one just made me laugh. This dogs space was not being violated, he was not being teased (denied yes, teased no 🤣). Enjoy this chatty little relationship.
