Posted to: News & Entertainment

I've had my goldren retriever since he has been 10 weeks old. Been around people and he is very social. He loves meeting new people that are always coming to my house. I always let them in, he comes lumbering in expecting everyone to love him. My good friend, "B" he adores and whimpers...

Sighthounds anyone?
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
Before I was introduced to sighthounds I wasn't sure what they were all about. But now after a year of having my Pharaoh Hound I've been converted. I think that being owned by a sighthound has been the most incredible experience of my life. Most of the sighthounds I've met have been too smart...

It's not dreaming because his dreams are very active--tail wagging, whimpering, growling, all the fun stuff of chasing a critter in his sleep. When he lays down sometimes he just twitches, his legs flinch or a muscle jumps...

Dog walkers

I've decided to occasionally hire a dog walker (mostly because I would really, really like to sleep in sometimes!). I found one that seems great and I'm meeting her tomorrow. Are there any questions you would suggest asking her or specific instructions I could be overlooking? I'm a little...
