Yes! We love our wonderful and dear Pooches! We care for them so much that we love to dress them up in all sorts of dog clothing. Take for instance, a handmade Dog Scarf. These great looking little dog scarf's do come in all sorts of fun colors just to suit your dog's personality.
I was recently researching "dog clothing" on some of the more well known search engines. I was amazed at all of the many different things that we can clothe our dog's with. On one such search, I found tee shirts, dog scarf's, sweaters, jackets, coats and boots. There were designer sunsuit's, petjama's and playsuit's. Of course, not to mention your regular old "tuxedo and gown's" for the poochies who get married. How incredible! I was astounded at how some websites really cater to the dog's and their owners.
I personally have found that my two dogs love to get dressed up with lots of dog accessories that I make for them. I love to Crochet and create new things all the time for my two dogs to play with. I have made dog blankets, dog scarf's, dog necklaces, dog ball's and fun loving dog toys. They can play to their hearts content.
It's a real joy to see how much your dog loves a new dog scarf or dog necklace. You can see it in their eyes and how they play and prance around. You know that you've made them one "happy pooch". They love all the attention that you give them and they play on that attention all day long! Enjoy your dog...they truly are a Woman's best friend.

While many understand in situations where space is limited, the use of a kennel within a fenced yard often raises the hackles of uninformed individuals. How can you confine him to a cage, they often ask, when you have a fenced-in yard that he can run around in? The answer is simple; for the dog's own safety. The outside world is a dangerous place for any dog, especially one that has been raised with people and brought up in a home. Whether they are tied up or surrounded by a tall fence, chances are that your determined...

Parvovirus And Your Dog

Parvovirus (commonly called Parvo) is a viral disease that affects dogs. It is far more common in puppies than adult dogs and can have serious ramifications for the infected animal, including death. Parvo grows best in the rapidly dividing cells of the dog's intestines. As the virus attacks and kills these cells it causes massive diarrhea and halts or slows the creation of white blood cells. In young puppies it can often directly infect the heart, leading to death. The symptoms of Parvo start with fever, depression, and lethargy. The dog will usually experience a loss of appetite as well and...
