Landscaping your backyard is a great way to increase your property’s value and give it a more attractive view. You can do a lot with the available space in your garden. Another benefit of having a yard is stimulating your pet’s brains, developing your bond with them, and working on behavior trai...

Xylitol is a toxin that is found in many sugar free products. It is a sugar substitute that is toxic to dogs and cats. It can cause a life-threatening drop in blood sugar as well as liver failure. Something I learned today is that the same plant-derived substance is also known as "birch sugar" or "Birch sap". Make sure you screen your products. These substances can be found in MANY items including gum, toothpaste, peanut butter, baked goods, drink powders, candy, pudding, BBQ sauces and Pancake syrup (I'm sure there could be more!). Dogs get into EVERYTHING! My goal is to keep XYLITOL out of my house so there are no accidents!

From Nikki Karis, Founder of Tail Life:

Here is a link to Amazon, where you can purchase book one of my Goddogs series, chronicling my journey of awakening and how I came to learn the 10 Commandments of Dog Ownership and much more. It's a MUST READ!

P.S. I did not write the Ten Commandments, as they are attributable to Stan Rawlinson from Great Britain. The prior photo was removed by me and replaced with an image of the cover of my book. The post was edited 8 days after its original posting. Thank you.

The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be very hard and painful for me. Remember that before you adopt me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me. Please be patient with me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well being.
4. Do not be angry with me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends and your entertainment. I only have you!
5. Talk to me, even if I do not understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me. You only have to look at my tail!
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it!
7. Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you. (DON'T HIT YOUR DOG!)
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I am in pain or sick, or my heart might be getting weak and I cannot tell you.
9. Take care of me when I get old, you too will grow old someday.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch it” or, “let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there.

** And always remember, I Love You!

Our pet food pantry is empty. If you have any food that your pets will not eat we will take it. Our pet food pantry helps keep pets in their homes. Or feeds the community cats. For people needing help we hope to get some donations in soon.

Might want to re-think your dog's grain-free diet...

From Desireé Engeldahl: "5 yr old MN mixed breed came in for lethargy, not really wanting to eat, and coughing. Suspected Kennel cough +/- pneumonia, took rads and saw the largest heart we've ever seen. Our vet suspected it was because it was on a grain-free diet."
