It was a sunny weekend, about mid-afternoon, the whole family minding there own buisness. Then, my mom proposed that we go a family dog walk. During this walk what could have gone wrong went wrong in almost a devastating way. Everyone got their shoes on and I called Luna and Katy from their doggie den, located in my brother's closet. I got the doggies harnessed up and attempted to tighten Luna harness that my mom and I purchased a couple days prior. My brothers and I ditched our parents, with the dogs, thinking that we would just walk down the hill and wait for them at the bottom. Since, our mom was taking forever to get ready and we were bored out of our minds. We headed down the hill, red wood needles scattered across the road and Ann’s little cottage home to the left of us. While bickering with my brothers I was commentin “ Remember how you two said you did not wand another dog because it would detracte from the greatness of Katy, but you two now love Luna.” Camron quickly replied with “Well that was befor we got Luna.” Tyler followed with “Yay!” having smirky look on his face.
Meanwhile Luna was pulling on the leash like a sled dog, even though her mighty ten pounds could not budge me. Then, I in the blink of an eye Luna was facing me and cat leaped back wards out of her harness. She bolted towards Ann’s house, running after I realized there was no way I was going to catch up. To my luck Ann was in her backyard tending to her plants and luna being the
Dogs become vital to you, they are something you wouldn’t ever give up. My dog, Carly has taught me so many life lessons, even when she can’t even talk. Likewise, She has taught to be a kind, positive, selfless human being. Yes, having a dog may be challenging, stressful work, but in the end, it’s all worth it. Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted a dog. When I was about three, my cousins unexpectedly lost their chocolate lab, Bailey. I don’t remember Bailey, but I do remember when they brought home a yellow lab puppy named Tess. The moment I laid eyes on Tess, it sparked something inside me and from that point on, I had a desire to one day have my own dog.
Picking up my head followed by my body, I reach over my bed to get my phone. Turning my phone on, I hear my mom scream up to me, “Sofia you need to get into the shower now!” Hopping out of my bed my sister comes racing out of her room storming down the stairs. Not knowing what her problem was nor caring, I grab a towel from the closet, place it onto the rack and get into the shower. After singing like a total freak in the shower, I calmly pick up my phone looking at the time not noticing it was already 7:00 and check my social media for a good ten minutes. Finally realizing I was running late, I quickly blow dry my hair and throw whatever clothes on that I see. I grab my shoes, book bag and sprint directly to the door. I say goodbye to my parents and both my dogs, Torino and Gus, which I never normally do that, but I just did that day for some reason.
Matsumoto came out towing Naoko, now dressed in a pumpkin orange sweater and chocolate brown pants, and positioned her in front of the mirrors.
When my sister and I got home and there was a tiny crate in the corner of the living room. I asked my mom, “Are we getting a puppy today?” “I guess you’ll have to wait and see” she said.
The road is so flat and straight; you can see them coming from a mile away. Six runners flow in arrowhead formation around the Canadian city of Saskatoon. The early November air is still and dry, the sky overcast, and the temperature hovers a bit above freezing, just as predicted.
Early morning towards the end of June last year, it was family rodeo back home where my mom grew up at. We had always gone back to that town and that rodeo since i was a yee young lad, around 5 or 6. We used to go see my grandma, but she died when i was 10. Anyways, it was my mother, my brothers, sister and her family, me and my girlfriend. Well, the car we were suppose to drive 5 hours north with was very cramped for all of us, so i asked my girlfriend if we could borrow her new car she just bought the day before. She “talked” to her mom and her mom said “yes,” so her and I drove in that car while my brother and mom and their friend drove the other.
Have you had a dog before? This passion to care for a dog came about when I was younger and my older siblings would always have a new pet and I never did. Then when I finally became older enough I had my first pet. Since that day my heart reaches out to all the dogs out there in the world. This passion, however may seem easy to people, but it takes time before someone can become dedicated to any animal. Many steps need to be made before bringing home a dog starting off with research, materials, communication, welcoming, and from there on steps can last till the end of life.
Florence Nightingale, a founder of nursing philosophy, noted in her 1859 nursing notes that a small pet was an excellent companion for the sick, especially patients with chronic cases. Pet therapy is a therapeutic aid that supports medical cures and enhances the relational and emotional status of the sufferer. A Hypothesis propounded on by doctors S.R. Kellert and E.O. Wilson was “No one who looks at the evidence can doubt that animals in hand improve the quality of modern human life…” (sic). An indisputable study proved that a therapy dog can reduce the agitation behavior in institutionalized persons with the Alzheimer’s diseases. A study conducted at the University of California showed that having animals at nursing homes also gave
Hi everyone, I am new here, but wanted to share an idea I have for a ongoing fundraising opportunity. So, I have this app called Walk for a Dog where every mile you walk the company (Wooftrax, Inc) donates 25 cents to your rescue of choice. I know this isn't a dog rescue or shelter, but when I was scrolling through the list of shelters on the app I passed by a raccoon rescue/sanctuary and that made me think maybe AWWS could benefit from this app. I believe to get your rescue/sanctuary on the app you have to sign up on the website on the computer. Just an idea that I wanted to throw out there and see what you all
I woke up and was excited to go skiing with Porter and Brigham and Cannon. We were in Utah going to go to Snow Basin. The night before, we skied a lot and did rails. I had a ton of fun and got ready really early so we could ski longer. We drove to the resort and got our stuff out. We went on a run before Logan, Landon and Luke got there. It was very icy and scary to ski, so I took it slow the first run. When we got to the bottom, we caught up with Logan, Landon and Luke. We all rode up in a gondola. We got off and went to the terrain park to practice rails. I was doing good, and knowing me I started tucking the long gaps between the different parks. We had just gone through the last park, and I tucked the groomer to the bottom. One of my Logan’s
Dusten, Amie, and I all came home from middle school after a pretty rough day. Well, it was a rough day for me. I opened the garage door so we could enter the house because we never used the front door. When I opened the door, though, I was not expecting to see what I did. In a kennel that looked like it could fit a full grown dog, there was a little puppy. An english bulldog to be exact. When he saw us, he started barking at us. So I walked up to the cage and started to pet him through it. This calmed him down and he soon stopped barking.
On 07/14/16 at 1:07am, I was dispatched to Tussing road and Freedom Trail on a dog being held by a Columbus Police Officer. The police officer said the dog was running loose in the apartment complex he was patrolling. I place a leash on the dog and put him my van. Dog owner Deon Bolden reclaimed the dog on 07/17/16. Mr. Bolden was unable to show proof of a dog license. I issued Mr. Bolden a violation for failure to license.
Dog owners have to put in a lot of effort to keep their dog healthy, happy and looking good. In addition to feeding and bathing your pet, you will have to trim their nails. You may be tempted to trim your dog's nails yourself to save yourself a couple bucks, but when looking at the many ways you and your dog can benefit from you allowing a pet groomer to tackle this task, you may actually change your mind.
It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
Everybody is on or has been on a journey before. Being on a journey is very important because it gives you a goal or task that you want to accomplish. When you go on a journey you find is yourself through the experiences and obstacles that life throws at you. Throughout a journey, you are taught life lessons and have the capability of applying that new knowledge for the future for a better outcome. Sometimes, these life lessons challenge you and you ultimately succeed at the end. For the past 5 months, I have been on a journey as I have been learning a new instrument that I’ve always wanted to learn since I was a little kid. Being on this path has taught me many life lessons and how to stay focused on what really matters.
