Treat Reviews
I came to the conclusion after doing some spring cleaning,that I should do some blog posts on Dog Treats.Since I have bought just about every Dog Treat available in stores and online,I think I can give a good opinion as to which treats to buy and ones to avoid.I never realized how many treats I had gotten for Gracie until I started pulling out storage boxes with unopened and opened treats.Not all treats are edible just ask Gracie.More times than not she turns up her nose at most of the bags I bring in for her.So,at least for the time being,my post will be about Dog Treats.I will of course include photos of each bag I review.The first Post will be on May 1,2011.It seems like May might be a good month to start this new venture.I still plan to rant and rail against some of the stupid and careless thing I see dog owners do.That will never stop.I hope that my Treat Reviews will catch on and help at least a couple of people from throwing good money away.

Dog Park Behavior DO'S and DONT'S
I enjoy taking my dog Gracie,a Catahoula,to the local Dog Park.It allows her the time and place to run without a leash and the threat of being hit by a car.
What I do not like is,after a walk with Gracie to the Park,I end up standing OUTSIDE of the fenced in area because someone has brought their kids!Not just older,10-12yrs olds,that s bad enough.No,they bring in little kids,2 and up.One brilliant parent even brought her 18mo. old!Not only is this ignorant,it is dangerous.Gracie has not been raised around children,so they scare her.And what will a scared dog do when frightened?They bite,jump,growl,you get the idea.Gracie has never bit anyone,and I want to keep it that way.I do not have any kids,mine are grown and gone,Gracie is my four legged kid,and I do everything I can to protect her.She cannot run the neighborhood,play in a playground,or play with other children.Two Legged children can.The dog parks are for DOGS,it is the one place that we dog lovers and dog parents go to let our dogs run wild,socially interact with other dogs,And sometimes we dog Parents are able to talk and trade information in regard to our "kids".I should not have to ask you and your child to leave.If you come to the dog park with your dog,great.Gracie and I would love to meet you and play.But,if you must bring a 2 legged child to a dog park with your dog,maybe it would be best if you stayed home.I do not take Gracie to a child's play park,show the same consideration for me at the dog park.Another big problem is people who bring dogs that are not socialized.If your dog bites,do not bring him to the dog park.It is not my responsibility to socialize your dog.If your dog is dog/people aggressive DO NOT bring him to the dog park.I will call the SPCA if your dog bites me,my dog or someone else.Use some common sense.Another social responsibility is PICK UP after your dog.The dog park is not a wide open "POOP PATCH".I pick up after my dog,because it is just common sense.I do not want to step in poop,nor do I want Gracie exposed to your dogs feces.It is unsanitary and spreads parvo and distemper among other things.The dog park is not a dog sitter,don't bring your dog to the dog park and then go sit/lay down and ignore him.If you don't want to play with your dog,that's OK,but at least watch to make sure your dog is not destroying everything.If you can't control your dog,stay home.I take Gracie to the park so she can play with other dogs,get some exercise,without a leash.
