How to Protect Your Dog in Cold Weather
After two days of reasonable winter temps, we’re headed back for another brutal cold snap. All kidding aside about Graidy and Wink being winter wusses, they both have conditions that make the cold and snow more difficult for them to handle. Both have very fine, single layer coats with little insulation value (versus Kiera’s thick 2-layer winter coat with undercoat). Graidy, at 10 yrs old, has a touch of arthritis and Wink’s short legs often put his underside in direct … Read More
Even Play is Serious Business for Working Dogs
What do five Border Collies do when they’re not working sheep? Well, they make their own entertainment … This just cracks me up!

Do You Dress Up Your Animals for Halloween?
A dog-loving friend sent me this photo of her Halloweenie dogs.
I also get pictures of them in Christmas costumes. This friend doesn’t have 2-legged children, so her dogs fill some of that role. Any dog would be lucky to call her their dog mom. What she accomplishes with her rescue pups is truly amazing!

Is Monthly Heartworm Medicine Necessary?
You guys know that I try to keep unnecessary meds/shots under control. So when it was time to buy more heartworm medicine, I realized it’d been a couple of years since I’d researched the latest findings. I decided it was time to dig back in to find the current “facts”. Following is a map of heartworm incidence by state. Read on below to see my current protocol.

Spread the Word about Advertising Free Dogs on Craigslist
Sunbear Squad has asked that I pass along this message: Please spread the word to anyone who may be thinking about rehoming their dogs or cats. Never advertise your pet on Craiglist (or anywhere else for that matter)as “free to a good home.” Sadly, Craigslist, in particular, has become a magnet for mentally ill animal abusers and dog fighters who torture and kill pets.
