A Happy Sushi Lover

2008-05-05

We got this awesome photo from Emma the pug playing with her Bone Maki Sushi Toy. Here is what Nilda, Emma’s mom, had to say about the Sushi Toy.

This is Emma’s absolute favorite toy at my house. It is a sushi roll and it squeaks. It had been a present for Lucy’s 1st birthday, but Emma took possession of it when she came to live with us last year. This is actually sushi toy #2. She totally loved Sushi toy #1 to death. We had to throw it away. It took us a while to order her a new one. We waited until Lucy needed a new harness to place the order. It arrived yesterday and you’ve never seen a happier puggy, it’s as if they had never been apart.

Thanks so much for sharing Nilda and Emma!

Spring Flowers

2008-03-26

In many parts of the country, Winter is finally starting to give way to Spring and you may be starting to see signs of life in your garden again. Popular Spring flowers like tulips and daffodils may be starting to bloom and while these blooms are a welcome sight and signs of better weather to come take caution if you have a curious pup. If ingested, tulips and daffodils can be toxic to dogs.

To ensure that you and your pup have a safe and healthy spring, be sure to visit the ASPCA’s website to see a complete list of plants that are dangerous to pets if ingested.

Offspring

While doing a completely unrelated search the other day, I came across an interesting and astonishing animal factoid.

If none of the animals are spayed, a female dog, her mate, their puppies and all the resulting puppies down the line can produce 67,000 dogs in just 6 years!

Giving Back

2008-03-16

We have been a long time advertiser on Bringing Up Shelby and one of the reasons we love to advertise on the site is that the advertising money is donated to a pug charity. This time, a donation was made to Pug PROS and the money was earmarked for Cami a pug currently in hospice care.

It is true honor to be a sponsor of Bringing Up Shelby. Reading about Shelby is incredibly entertaining and it is great that they so generously give back to the pug community.

Very Superstitious

2008-03-07

I recently came across a list of dog superstitions. Here are a few of my favorites for your amusement.

A dog eating grass means it will rain soon.
If a newborn baby is licked by a dog it means the baby will be a fast healer.
Meeting a dog, especially a Dalmatian, is considered good luck.
Three white dogs together is a sign of good luck.

I can’t say that I hold much faith in these superstitions. My pugs eat grass in yard all the time and it never seems to rain. But, I do find it fascinating how people have looked to their dogs to add meaning to life’s occurrences. Unfortunately, most of the superstitions I came across regarding dogs were pretty ominous. It seems many believe that dogs have a keen sense of when death and misfortune might strike.
