Vee DeOllos-Hudson asked me what to do when her dog cries and acts overly excited on walks when he sees other dogs (dog in picture is not Vee’s dog). The problem is, he loves other dogs and can’t control himself around them because he is so friendly. He is OK when he meets dogs in [...]

I have written about how much I hate Flexi leashes before. But lately, I keep seeing more and more of these things. Flexi leashes are those flimsy, retractable leashes (like a tape measure) that allow a dog to pull ahead 20 feet or so. I don’t know who is encouraging people to buy Flexi leashes, [...]

I love American Staffordshire terriers, also known as the American pit bull terrier or “pitbull.” With so many pitbulls sitting in shelters across the country (more than 9,000 on Petfinder alone), I thought I’d share how great these dogs are. My next dog just might have to be a pitbull. The guy in this photo [...]

Of course, everyone thinks his or her dog is perfect, right? Yet, we can all find faults in all other dogs. For example, I’m glad my dog doesn’t pull too bad or bark a lot. I’m glad he stays in one spot in the car and shows no aggression. Then again, I could list off [...]

One thing I can’t stand from a dog is when he barges past me to get through a door. It shows that the dog has no respect and that the dog thinks he’s in charge. Although I always walk through a door before my dog, I don’t think this is absolutely necessary with all dogs. [...]

I want to mention a few small changes to my blog. I hate it when blogs don’t update or even put anything under their about pages, so I updated mine. I also updated my contact page, encouraging readers to email me with feedback. If you have any ideas for posts, 30-day challenges for Ace and [...]

Many of the fat pet videos on YouTube have recieved 100,000 or more views. I found one with over a million views. If you’re interested, you can go search for them yourself because I don’t want links to those videos on my site. There are even pet blogs that hold fat pet contests and ask [...]
