Perhaps because her husband was an English professor I thought of a similar situation that was facing Eugene O'Neill in 1940. O'Neill was a playwright and the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature. O'Neill owned a well-loved Dalmatian named Blemie, who had grown old and was near death. To convince his wife, Carlotta, that he was coping with the eventual loss of the animal that he often described as "my only successful child," O'Neill wrote a "last will and testament", supposedly composed by the dog (Click here...)

Getting along with others is called socialization. It’s the same for cats, and dogs, and people. If we lived alone in a cave, we would not look forward to dinner out. We would, instead, fear it. The input, the decisions, not knowing what was expected of us, it would be overwhelming. Can we increase our cat's socialability? (Click here...)

But sometimes, fear grips dogs so tightly they shake, cower, bite, growl or pee. It can be constant, painful and hard to overcome. Such dread can consume a dog when it's freed from a cage at a puppy mill or hoarder's home because that's the only life the dog has ever known (Click here...)

Can Humans Really Interpret the Facial Expressions of Dogs?

helpdesk@seniortravelaide.com (senior travel aide llc) — Fri, 8 Mar 2013 05:00:00 -0800

STA Blog Home Page - SeniorTravelAide

Dogs do have a variety of distinct facial expressions, however canines are much more limited in what they can do with their faces. This is because a dog's face is dominated by his muzzle.

That means that the mouth and the lower portion of the dogs face can only adopt a limited range of expressions (Click here...)

If you know me... you know what a big proponent I am of keeping your dog safe in the car when traveling! Especially since Gracie, Mum and I experienced a pretty bad accident coming back from an agility trial. back in 2007.

I recently read a report about how Mineta San Jose International Airport's passenger waiting area is regularly visited by therapy dogs for a few hours each week. The program began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks which used hijacked passenger planes as weapons. After that event an airport pastor brought in her own dog to help soothe tense and worried passengers. However, even without such fear provoking events, air travel is often a stressful event (Click here...)
