Holiday season always brings new faces to the pack!
Meet Whiskey, Dwight & Jack 🥰

05/12/2024

Holidays are fast approaching- this is a friendly reminder to please vet your pet sitters!!! Please do your due diligence. Make sure they are a legit business and NOT a “hobby pet sitter” from Rover etc. There are way too many hobby sitters out there who see dollar signs $$ in “overnight care”

Please do not leave your pets with “just anyone” - they deserve better. The lack of attention, affection and exercise can cause extreme emotional distress, sometimes leaving your pets with longterm emotional problems such as separation anxiety and C-PTSD (canine post traumatic stress disorder)

Please reach out if you need pet care. If you need 24/7 overnight care (sleepover), I am happy to provide contact information for other local, trusted pet sitters in the area.

I post this a few times a year.
Education -
EVER noticed those slits at the sides of a dog’s nose? Why do dogs have them?
Once again, nature( evolution )proves her elegance in the design of our dogs. I started looking more into evolution a while back, after reading a scientific journal, about a black Dog introduced to work in very cold temperatures, which slowly changed to white. White patches slowly formed. I know it had to do with the blood temperatures. I’m still looking for where I filed it away?? I found it amazing! I recently stumbled across something similar change watching a Killer whale documentary.

When we humans inhale and exhale, air comes in the same way it goes out. Any smells that come in through our mouths are forced out as we exhale. Any alternating of this, is affecting the Dogs naturally ability that evolution has improved on over years. It’s very important that when breed dogs, we work with evolution and not against. They should be fully functional and healthy, as there ancestors.

When a dog exhales through his nose, however, the exhaled air is released through those slits and off to the side so that nice, smelly air going into the dog’s nostrils doesn’t get diluted with the outgoing air. Put another way, the slits allow the dog to avoid smelling what he just exhaled.

The slits help the dog hold scent particles in the nostrils even as exhaled air passing out the slits creates a swirling air turbulence allowing interesting odors to be inhaled directly into the centre of each nostril. Since dogs breathe faster when trying to sniff a certain smell, they widen their nostrils to pull in more air which makes it possible for a dog searching for smells to have a steady stream of air coming in for up to 40 seconds, maybe even longer.

The slits also allow dogs to wiggle each nostril independently which gives them the ability to know which nostril a smell entered. This is how a dog can pinpoint where a smell is coming from, and why a dog searching for smells on the ground will weave back and forth as he follows a trail.

We all know the superb smelling abilities of dogs, but let’s use an analogy between scent and sight to really put it into perspective: What we as humans can see at a third of a mile, our dog can see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well.

Dogs never lie about love ♥️

Cooper says “thank you for the daily strolls, car rides, butt scratches, hand feeding me, calling me handsome and giving me lots of extra treats just because while my humans were away”
