Canine Freestyle Dancing - Dancing With Your Dog!
One of the biggest trends taking the world by storm today is dog dancing also known as Canine Freestyle Dancing or the art of dancing with your dog. It is quickly becoming popular among dog owners as a form of exercise and fun but is also a highly competitive sport.
If you like to dance, take your dog with you. Instead of just taking him for a walk, you can have much more fun doing canine freestyle dancing in a controlled environment. Qualified dog training instructors will show you how to train your dog and you will incorporate the commands into your own chosen dance routine.
Freestyle is a dance that is performed to music (Heelwork to Music). A dance routine is created and the dog is taught moves that blend with those of the dog's handler. The steps for musical freestyle dancing with your dog can be easily integrated with basic dog obedience commands.
Dressage is a form of command given by slight movements of the hand and barely noticeable to the onlooker. While learning the musical dance routines, your dog can also learn basic obedience commands, as well as advanced obedience commands, while incorporating the use of dressage.
Dog owners meet once or twice weekly, usually at a canine training facility, and spend an hour or more making up moves and interacting with their dog as a form of aerobic exercise for both dog and handler. Freestyle means anything goes as far as the movements have chosen to perform.
Moving across the floor, twirling around, going backward, leg lifts, and jumps are just some of the steps used for the dance routines. For the professional, the dance is carefully choreographed. The handler, and sometimes the dog, are dressed in a dance costume and perform in competition.
Brenda Stokes, the owner of Canine Country Day School in Manchester, CT, dances weekly with her Australian Shepherd Luna at Tails U Win Canine Training Center, also in Manchester, CT. Aussies are not able to easily walk forward when standing on their hind legs so Brenda is working with Luna in her dance routine to strengthen the muscles needed for this move. Luna is also capable of doing a high-five with both front paws while continuously walking across the floor next to Brenda.
The art of Dog dance was sanctioned by The World Canine Freestyle Organization, founded by Pattie Ventre. Though it has been around since the 1980s, it has only recently become very popular in the form of fun and exercise rather than just a competition. Other organizations in the United States include the Canine Freestyle Federation and The Musical Dog Sport Association.
Anyone can join in the fun. It sure beats jumping around the living room floor to a DVD or television exercise program. Check with your local dog training facilities for information on programs in your area.

how cute this
دددددددددددددددددددDogs and Cats Living Togetherددددددددددددددددددددددددددددد
Dogs and cats are supposedly life-long enemies. Hence the phrase, "fighting like cats and dogs." Having always owned both cats and dogs, I find the phrase and the premise to be far more inaccurate than accurate. Of course, we all know that there are those dogs that will simply chase every cat they see and those cats that will never tolerate a dog. However, it has been my experience that handled correctly, the vast majority of dogs and cats can live together. They may not learn to love each other, but they certainly can learn to tolerate each other's presence. Dogs and cats that are raised with each other typically do fine their entire lives. They may actually accept an animal of another species more easily than one of their own, in that there are fewer fights over dominance and territory.
There are some dogs that should not be kept with cats. Dogs with a strong hunting heritage may always view cats as prey and may never be able to be trusted with any small animals. In addition to hunting dogs, terriers such as Jack Russells and Pitbulls are often poor companions for cats. These dogs have an incredibly strong predatory instinct; they chase and attack moving objects without thinking about whom or what the object may be. Cats and other small pets are just too much of a temptation for these dogs.
Other dogs respond less to the animal than the situation and will leave alone a cat that sits still, but chase and attack one that moves. This is especially true of dogs that are kept outside. There is something about being out of the house that really pushes the hunting instinct into overdrive and will often result in even the most docile indoor dog attempting to chase cats once outside. So, one would not want to make the assumption that a cat and dog who tolerate each other indoors will do the same outside. The dog may decide to attack the cat. Finally, dogs that have a history of attacking cats are likely to do so again and should not be trusted with cats. If you are planning on rescuing a previously-owned dog, it is a good idea to get a history of the dog's attitudes and behaviors around cats before bringing it into a house with cats. Many shelters will allow you to 'test' the dog by introducing it to a cat before completing the adoption.
Most cats, if they have had positive experiences with dogs, will tolerate canines in the house. Those that will not typically have had some prior negative interaction that is firmly embedded in their memories. Because most cats, even those that hate dogs, do not attack without provocation, these cats may be able to live with a dog. However, they probably will never bond with the dog, will avoid the dog at all costs, and will be pretty miserable. It is kinder to leave these cats in a feline-only household. Again, it is often possible to find out the history of a cat before adopting it or to test the cat's reactions to dogs in an adoption situation.
So which cats and dogs can get along? The answer is just about all of the rest of them. In the best of circumstances, cats and dogs really become friends, playing and sleeping together. In other situations, cats and dogs may never be overly friendly, but they can learn to tolerate and behave themselves with other members of the family, including those of other species. As long as you are willing to work out a positive introduction and protect the animals from physical harm, these species usually get along. The process may take up to six or eight weeks, or even longer, but can be successfully accomplished.
If you are thinking of bringing a cat into a dog household, or vice-versa, there are steps that you can take to ensure the success of the relationship. First, because a dog can kill a cat, safety is your first concern. The dog needs to be able to be kept separated from the cat. This can be accomplished with a crate or a separate room. The dog should have a refresher obedience course, so that it will sit, stay, and come to you when told, and leave the cat alone if ordered to. The dog needs to remember that the people, not the dog, rule the house. This way you can 'explain' to the dog, if necessary, that the cat is yours and needs to be treated with respect. In addition, the cat needs to have a safe haven. This means that the cat's food and litter boxes need to be inaccessible to the dog and that the cat has places to run and hide. For example, leave a few bookcase shelves empty so the cat can climb to them, put a cat door into a closed bedroom, or use baby gates to separate the dog from the cat's own room.
I keep my cats' litter boxes, toys, scratching posts, water, and food in an extra bedroom. I use a baby gate to keep the dogs out of the room. I have cut a small cat-size opening into the closed mesh of the gate so that the cats can dash through it if necessary and not have to leap the gate. My dogs respect the gate, but if you have dogs that leap over it, you may need to cut the cat door into the room door or install a screen door with an opening large enough for the cats.
The initial meeting and first few weeks are critical times to set the tone for the future, so it is important to make all introductions go as smoothly as possible. The key is to remember that these animals will be together for a lifetime; there is no reason to rush their meetings. If bringing a cat into the house, provide the cat with its own bedroom for the first few weeks or longer. The litter box and food should be placed in this room. The dog in the house can smell the cat under the door but has no real need to meet the new member of the family until the cat is comfortable and bored with its personal space. If this is a young kitten, they may end up living in this room for several more weeks. Once the cat is doing well in its own room, you can let the cat explore the house, undisturbed by the dog. You can actually put the dog in the cat's room while the cat is out so that the dog really gets to experience the cat's scent without bothering the cat. You can also get the pets used to each other's scents by swapping toys, towels, or other items between them.
The initial face-to-face meeting should be done after the new cat is familiar with the entire house. Make sure that the dog is on a leash and under control. Have another person near the cat to provide help if needed. Keep the meeting short and positive. Praise the dog for being wonderful around the cat. Use food rewards if appropriate and make sure that the dog understands that good thing happen when the cat is present. After a few, short positive meetings, it is time to let the cat explore for longer periods, with the dog present and on the leash. If this step proceeds calmly, let the dog off the leash and watch the interactions. Make sure you are always there to stop any problems before they can accelerate. Do not allow the dog to be aggressive in any way to the cat, and lavishly praise the dog for good behavior. Be certain that the cat has access to hiding places. If aggression occurs at any stage of the introductions, return to the previous stage and slow down. Even if all looks great, do not leave the cat alone with the dog until you are truly positive that everything is running smoothly. This means that if they cannot be supervised, the cat should be left in its bedroom or the dog kept crated.
Bringing a dog into a cat household is relatively easy. The dog should be kept on a leash for the initial introductions and never left unsupervised. Make sure that all animals are praised for their wonderful behavior when they are together. As previously discussed, the dog can be crated or the cat left in a bedroom when they cannot be watched. Since the cat is already familiar with its territory and the dog is a newcomer, the dynamics of the relationship often turn in the cat's favor, making the transition relatively easy.
Puppies and kittens do present unique challenges. Kittens must be protected from dogs at all times simply because any dog is big enough to badly hurt or kill a young kitten. A kitten must always be closely supervised even around the best behaved of dogs. Provide the kitten with appropriate toys of its own. Do not let the kitten 'play attack' the dog or chase it. This can rapidly escalate into a dangerous situation. For the same reason, do not let the dog 'play' with the kitten. The kitten must be kept in a safe room when an adult is not home. My kittens stayed in their own room when I was not at home and at bedtime until they were approximately six months old.
Rambunctious puppies may also be a problem. Without meaning to, an energetic puppy can harm a kitten or even an adult cat. It is up to you to make sure that their interactions are monitored so that no one gets hurt. It is also really important to exercise and play with the puppy routinely. Make sure the puppy has its own toys and uses them. A tired puppy is less likely to bother the cat and less likely to be a behavior problem in the house.
It takes work, patience, and time to introduce cats and dogs to each other. However, the positive outcome is well worth the work. My cats and dogs play, eat, relax, and sleep together. I get tremendous pleasure watching them. You will be pleasantly surprised how much positive energy is brought into your home by having both cats and dogs living there.

This is true love 💕💕💕
Five Things To Remember When Introducing Your New Dog to Your Cat
1. Give your cat her own space
Whether your cat has spent six months or six years in your home, she has come to identify it as her home. Bringing a dog into her space can be quite upsetting. Help reduce the stress for her by maintaining an area that is clearly her own. Give your cat a place to escape to free from canine intrusions. Eventually, once the dog and cat have gotten to know each other (on their own terms), this won't be necessary. In the beginning, however, it is important that your cat have a place where she can feel at ease and relaxed for her long naps and cleaning sessions!
2. Place the cat food and water in a place your dog can't reach
What might take your cat the better part of the day to eat can take just seconds for your dog to devour? Make sure the cat's food and water are in a spot that is easily reached by your cat but not accessible to your dog. This will not only keep the food from being eaten by the dog but will give your cat a safe place to eat, somewhere where she doesn't have to be on alert while eating. If she doesn't feel safe, she may not eat. You will probably find over time that your cat will start to drink out of your dog's water bowl; perhaps this is her way of reminding your dog who is boss!
3. Keep your cat's nails clipped
If your dog comes too close to your cat she will let him know by doing a kitty growl or hissing and accompanying that with a swipe at his face with her paw. If her nails are sharp that could result in her cutting his face or scratching an eye. This will certainly teach him not to mess with her, but it could be quite painful and even cause some real damage that could require a visit to the vet. It's inevitable that your cat will swipe at your dog to assert her household dominance, so reduce the likelihood of a cut and keep those nails trimmed.
4. Keep the kitty litter out of your dog's reach
Dogs love kitty litter, especially used kitty litter! Some refer to the treasures the dog finds in the kitty litter as "Kitty Roca". If you use a clumping kitty litter and your dog ingests too much of it, it could lead to gastrointestinal blockage. Save yourself the hassle of discovering that your dog loves "Kitty Roca" and make sure the kitty litter is easy to get to for your cat but out of reach from your dog.
5. Be patient
It's unlikely that your dog and cat will become friends overnight. However, over time you should see their behavior towards each other change for the better provided you do not force it. Some cats take longer to adjust than others. Your cat will probably develop a fairly intense fascination with your dog, always wanting to know where he is and what he is doing. This is partly due to fear and want to make sure the dog isn't coming near her and partly due to curiosity. Soon their interactions will become more amicable as the dog learns he can't mess with the cat and the cat sees that the dog isn't trying to hurt her (provided that he isn't!). Be patient and in time you may even see them snuggling on the dog bed!

Why is he so obsessed with me?!
Can Cats and Dogs Get Along?
There comes a time in (almost) every animal-loving household when a cat meets a dog. Or is it dog meets cat? Cats and dogs are so often portrayed as mortal enemies, but in reality, they can also be the best of friends!
There are a few factors that will go into whether your household is one of harmony or one of frenzied chasing, hissing, scratching, and perhaps a bloody nose or two.
I grew up with cats and dogs. We had a kitten that would "nurse" on our toy poodle (not really!) and later on a Sheltie named Bonny who got along with all cats so well we even named a kitten Clyde.
Currently, we have a young Shetland Sheepdog who will mercilessly chase and torment the cats if left to her own devices. So, I have learned that all animals and all households are different.
Be The Cat
Here is a peek into the psyche of a cat being introduced to a dog: "Oh, bother. What is that thing? It is looking straight at me. Why is it so intent on me? Is it going to attack me? This can't be good! Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away."
The Dogs Perspective
The dog, of course, comes from a whole different world! He is thinking, "Oh boy, oh boy, a friend! Yipee, let's play chase together! Let me smell you! You can smell me! Betcha can't catch me! A friend, a friend!"
So, how well cats and dogs can get along has a lot to do with how well the dog can contain himself. If he's uninterested in the cat, probably nothing more will come of it. If he must chase, and doesn't learn his lesson when he gets cuffed on the nose, you'll want to intervene.
The last thing you want is for either pet to become depressed or feel they've lost your affections. If your cat can't come to you for pets and snuggles because that dog is always blocking the way, she will quickly become stressed. The same is true if she no longer has run of the house if she can't get to her litter box, food, or favorite sleeping spot.
This could show up in the form of cat aggression, litter box issues, or a host of other common cat behavior problems. So what to do? Some training is in order. You can't train a cat to let a dog sniff her, paw her, or bark at her. But, you can train a dog to be more polite.
For puppies and young energetic dogs, this may simply mean keeping them separated for a while. After all, your pup is learning the ropes when it comes to many things. And just like very young human children, he simply doesn't possess self-control yet.
He does have a strong desire to please you, though. So use it to your advantage and praise him whenever he can let the catwalk by without trying to pounce on her.
Also, never allow chasing. The dog should be firmly reminded that this is undesirable. Use your serious voice, calmly distract him by his name, and firmly say "No." Then remove him from the chase. He may need to be separated for a bit.
Older cats and dogs can be slowly introduced and usually coexist without much fuss. Some cats are quiet easy-going. And some dogs just don't care about cats. If this is the case, you're all set! Otherwise, a gentle introduction and the assurance that each pet has its safe place will help. Who knows, maybe they'll be Best Buds down the road!

Happy dog and cat 21
++++++++++++++Do Dogs Really Hate Cats?+++++++++++++++++++
Maybe it's because there are so many people living in apartments these days, but cats have now taken over the top spot as America's number one pet. But there are also many people who have both cats and dogs. Just how do dogs and cats really get along? Do dogs really hate cats?
The truth is that dogs and cats can live together amicably, especially if they are introduced together at a young age. Even if they are brought together as adults there is still a good chance that your dog and your cat won't shred each other if you introduce them to each other carefully.
Your best chance of having a cat and dog live together and get along well is by having a kitten or cat first. Cats often seem to need this advantage to establish themselves in the home before a dog becomes part of the family. Whether this is because a dog often has a size advantage or is more boisterous - who can say? But cats and dogs usually have a better chance of living together on good terms when the kitten or cat belongs to the family first.
It's easiest to introduce a puppy or cat-friendly dog into your home if you set up an area where your cat can have some peace and privacy. Baby gates or dog gates are usually a good idea, at least at first. This will allow your cat to have part of the house to himself without being bothered by your dog. Your cat and your dog can live under the same roof for a while without coming too close to each other - a good idea when one of the inhabitants may have sharp claws.
When it's time to let your cat and dog meet face to face it's usually a good idea to use a leash and a pet carrier. Have your dog on a leash and put your cat in the pet carrier. You should control the situation as much as possible. Make sure that your cat feels safe. Some dogs can be a little too enthusiastic. You can allow your dog to sniff the carrier and look inside the crate. Your cat may not be happy but he should allow the dog to inspect the carrier without freaking out, especially if the two of them have been in the same house for a few days.
Keep the baby gates up for as long as necessary. In some cases, this may be a while. In other cases, your cat may start slipping out. Some cats are very good at putting a dog in his place and letting him know that he can't push the cat around.
If you have a kitten you will need to take special precautions to make sure that he isn't injured accidentally. Even if you have a kitten and a puppy you should be careful that the play doesn't get too rough and no one is injured. Do watch out for your puppy too. Cat claws can do serious damage to your puppy's face.
Dogs don't really hate cats but some dogs have not been raised with cats and they don't know how to treat them. There is often some jealousy at play on both sides when you have a cat and a dog in your home. Once your cat and your dog are established in the home you shouldn't have too many problems with them but you will need to see that they don't tease or taunt each other. Cats and dogs can behave like bratty kids at times but they are lots of fun and you can certainly keep both pets in the same home.

+++++Training Your Pit-Bull Puppy: For a Perfect Pet+++++
"A dog is a guy's best friend." He is a loyal enthusiastic pet that will add life to the house. He's fun and energetic and always ready to play. He dedicates himself to protecting his owner and might save his life too, as we hear in many miracle stories. The bottom line is a dog is one of the best domestic pets one may get.
A pit bull is one of the most popular domestic dogs. They can be really people-oriented and friendly. Some people may think otherwise due to some attack stories they might have seen in the media. The media has misled the public into thinking Pit Bull attacks are of epidemic proportions when in truth, statistics show that for every Pit Bull that kills, there are 10.5 million that don't. Plus, the fact that a Pit Bull attacks or not depend more on the owner than on the dog breed itself. So, the owner can train his dog properly to avoid any possible attacks and bad behavior.
It is best if one starts training the pit bull at a young age because then, the pit bull is more flexible and easier to teach. To begin with, one should focus on socialization. Expose your dog, at an early age, to variable situations and different people and animals. It is important that a pit bull learns to become comfortable in all environments. The owner must keep things positive and upbeat since the overall mood reflects on the dog.
Another thing one should do is make sure the dog's attention is always in his hands. One should take time to practice commands on different occasions and situations. A whistle or "Hey" maybe means to grab the dog's attention. The dog should always respond to his master's commands in spite of the distractions around him. That way, the dog's actions are always under control so there is no room for reckless wild behavior.
This opens the door for another important training tip which is to make sure the dog knows who the boss is. For example, walk in front of him to let him know who's in charge. Always walk upright and do not show intimidation. Do not respond to his controlling behavior; if there is a certain action the dog is doing that you don't like, insist on him stopping it. For example, if you don't want the pit bull to sleep on your bed, remove him whenever he does it. With time he'll learn that he shouldn't do it. If the dog is demanding attention annoyingly (like barking loudly), do not respond. When he cools down and sits quietly, pet him and grant him the attention he wants. In this way, he'll learn what behavior pays off and what doesn't. Moreover, praise and privileges must be earned. If they are given excessively, they lose their value. That's why toys and other benefits should only be granted when the dog does exceptionally good behavior. This also confirms the fact that power is in your hands.
Training a pit bull doesn't have to require hiring an expensive trainer. It can be done at home though it will definitely take a lot of time and effort it is worth it. Once trained, a Pitbull is a great companion.

Mia's 4th Pit Bull Puppy
+++++++Pit Bulls: Legit Dog Breed or Mixed Mongrel++++++++++++
I'll get straight to it. Pit Bulls are a legit dog breed but they are known by their official name of American Pit Bull Terrier. Anything else is not a Pit Bull nor should it be called a Pit Bull. How did the whole "pit bull" thing spin out of control? Fanciers of the breed refer to their dogs using a variety of terms. Most common are Pit Bull, Pit Bulldog, Pit Bull Terrier, or plain old, bulldog. Where the whole thing got out of hand was when people who did not know what a real Pit Bull looked like started calling anything that resembled the dogs, "pit bulls" and voila! we are more confused than ever.
There are many breeds of dogs that are similar in
appearance and origin as the American Pit Bull Terrier
and this, once again, has led to the problem of misidentifying
other breeds as Pit Bulls.
A few breeds that are often mistaken for American Pit Bull
Terriers (aka Pit Bulls) are:
1. American Bulldogs.
2. Cane Corso's.
3. Presa Canario's.
4. Dogo Argentino's.
5. Mixed breed dogs of any of the above breeds.
6. Mastiffs.
7. Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
8. Bull Terriers.
The list goes on and on but the reality of it is this...
The only dog on planet earth that is a "Pit Bull" is
the American Pit Bull Terrier. This the only breed on
earth that has "Pit Bull" in its official name.
So why doesn't the American Kennel Club recognize
Pit Bulls as a breed?
For starters, remember when we talked about how people
started calling anything that resembled an American Pit
Bull Terrier a "pit bull" well there is reason number one.
Another reason is they are quite uptight and think that
any dog not recognized by them is not a purebred dog. This
is the farthest thing from the truth but millions of people
buy into their ideology and promote incorrect information.
For proof, one only needs to seek out the United Kennel Club
or the American Dog Breeders Association to see what a real
Pit Bull is and that American Pit Bull Terriers are in fact
a purebred dog.
American Pit Bull Terriers (real Pit Bulls) are loyal, strong,
and love a challenge. That is why they are working dogs that
excel at hard work than other breeds shrink from.
Their love of people is legendary and that is why they
are so easy to exploit and are being exploited daily
by thousands of ignorant, greedy, sadistic people that
use them for the wrong reasons.
So to sum up this article and put a final answer to
the question, Are Pit Bulls a legit breed or a mixed
mongrel...The real Pit Bull or the American Pit Bull Terrier is
in fact a legit breed of dog that excels at almost
any task they are put to.

Bichon frise is so cute! lovely puppy
++++++How to Properly Groom Your Bichon Frise++++++
The non-shedding Bichon Frises have an abundance of fur, requiring regular clipping and grooming. To look their best, daily grooming is recommended for curly-haired lapdogs.
Choosing a groomer for your treasured Bichon Frise can be a daunting task. Although the owner can do the coat maintenance, it is often easier for the dog to go to a trained groomer. Many grooming salons keep photograph albums of their doggy clients showing the different clips and coat styles for the Bichon Frise.
An important consideration in choosing the cut and coat style of your Bichon Frise is the amount of time that you are willing to spend each day grooming your pet. Look at the many coat styles of the Bichon Frise and discuss the ones you prefer with the potential groomer. If you are willing to spend only a minimum of time grooming your pet each day or lead a hectic life, then a shortcut like the Lamb Cut would be a good choice. Longer, fancier cuts could require two or three hours of grooming each day, making them ideal for those pet owners who find the grooming process relaxing. Any groomer should be happy to discuss the requirements of the coat style that you choose for your Bichon Frise. If not, perhaps you should research another grooming shop.
The shaved-down look is cute and easy to maintain - perfect for those owners that lead hectic lives. This cut is often referred to as the Lamb Cut. Because the only areas of the body that are left long are the head and the tail, the cut requires very little maintenance. Since the rest of the fur is cut short, but not so short that the dog's skin can be seen, there is a very small chance of matting on their legs or body. Another version of the Lamb Cut leaves the fur on the legs and body slightly longer and is often referred to as the Teddy Bear, Panda, or Puppy Cut.
The Bichon Frise often looks like a walking powder puff. To get this unique look, the groomer trims the coat of the dog to show the body's natural outline. The cut is rounded in all directions of the body, making sure not to have squared off areas where the fur is too short, as this can create an overly trimmed appearance. The tail, ears, head, mustache, and beard hair is left longer. The head hear is trimmed to create a rounded effect, while the groomer will often finish the face by trimming the top line of the head to have a level look.
Different grooming facilities have different practices. Therefore, it is important to take your Bichon Frise with you when researching the facilities that you are considering to see how they interact with potential doggy customers. Ask several questions of the facility, including these:
- Do they require vaccinations?
- Are the animals always supervised?
- Request recommendations?
Talk to the groomer to make sure that he or she is willing to work with you to find the perfect cut for your Bichon Frise. Take a tour of the facilities to make sure the area is clean and neat.

++++++Forget Popular Puppy Names: Three Steps To Choosing The Best Cute Puppy Names++++++
Popular puppy names can be silly. They can be serious. They can be long, short, cute, or dignified. How do you know which of the thousands of names you could possibly choose is right for your pup? Choosing the best of the cute puppy names is easy when following these three steps.
1. First, you need to let your puppy "tell you" what name is right for her.
No, she's not going to open her cute little mouth and say her new name. (If she does, call the media and your accountant because you're about to be famous and rich!) But your puppy can let you know what name will fit her.
How? By just being herself.
Great puppy names start with behavior. You let your pup's personality choose his name.
For example, my last dog, Muggins, a Springer Spaniel, really liked to sneak up on things and pounce on them. She "mugged" her brothers and sisters repeatedly in the pen before we brought her home.
Once we were home, she kept "mugging" us. My husband at the time wanted to name her Mugger because of all this mugging. And we thought about Mugs because she just had the cutest little mug (face). But I remembered the word, "muggins" from Cribbage, and when I looked it up and saw it meant dupe or fool, I knew it fit her because she was so easily fooled when she was a pup.
The way to play the personality name game is to watch your new critter for a couple of days. Just observe.
2. After you've observed your pup for a while, write down every word that comes to your mind as you watch him. Sometimes adjectives like sleepy or lazy or perky will come to mind. Sometimes you'll see character traits that are nouns like spirit or patience or courage. Sometimes you'll think of a person who your puppy reminds you of or the character in a book.
Whatever you think of, scribble it down. Trust me when I say that if you do this, you'll have a list within a couple of days that has at least two or three dozen names on it. More than likely, one of these names is the perfect name for your new pup.
3. While you're making your list, also get input from others. Your new fur-kid is probably going to have lots of visitors. Let your friends and family suggest a name. They might see qualities in your new dog that you don't see. Those qualities will suggest to them a name that just might be perfect.
If you follow these three steps, you can let your puppy's personality and actions lead the way, and you won't need to worry about popular puppy names. The best of the cute puppy names will reveal themselves to you while you're having fun with your new pup.

+++++Caring For Kittens After the Mother Cat Has Given Birth++++++
It is important for the mother cat after birth to bond with the new babies before they can be taken away from her because this helps them to be familiar with other felines.
This period should last at least 7 weeks, preferably 8 weeks from the moment they are born.
It is also good if they socialize with other cats up to the first 47 weeks of their life otherwise they may have problems with interactions with other pets.
If you are selecting a baby to care for, you should go for one which seems confident and not one that tries to squirm away when you pick it up.
The best kitties are those with an inquisitive nature rather than those that jump at their own shadow.
You can test this nature out by throwing a set of keys near them.
If they run away but still come back to investigate the noise then they are likely to be confident pets.
The best thing you should do to care for your kitty after the mum cat has given birth is to make the home safe for them.
You should make sure all the cleaning products in your kitchen are kept away and cannot be accessed by them.
You should also put away any knives and sharp kitchen utensils for obvious reasons.
You should also cut up lemons and put them in your bins because they like to rummage into things however hate the smell of fresh lemons.
Finally, you should keep all dangerous liquids away from them and make sure they cannot knock things over when may be a potential hazard.
Attention all frustrated cat owners imagine having the perfect pussycat.
If you know what to do you can.
Issues such as clawing, bad personality, and relieving themselves where they want would be a thing of the past with our guide.
There are also hundreds of tips to make sure things go smoothly.
Remember understanding is the key to a happy relationship.

Kisses and hugs between two cats
+++++++++++How Cats Show Love?++++++++++++++
How cats show love is a question that many cat lovers ask. I want a cat kiss from my pet. If I kiss my cat, can my pet kiss me back? Your pet does let you know you are loved with their eyes. Notice how your pet's eyes widen and narrow, then look relaxed. Now notice how they look when they are alert to a sudden noise or danger. There is a big difference. When you pick your kitty up to cuddle him, he may not want the sudden attention and his eyes widen and he looks annoyed. Often your cat will let you know when he wants attention and that might be a different time than you had planned. Cats are very independent pets. A lot of their needs for attention vary with the breed of cat you have taken into your home. All cats will immediately let you know if your loving attention is needed or not.
Sometimes it is just a matter of trust with your kitty. Did you get your cat as a kitten? If you did, you probably had the opportunity to hold him and pet him when he was acquiring his personality and independence. An old cat will usually not take to the holding and cuddling immediately upon moving into your home. First, you have to prove yourself worthy to a pet. Cats rule! They are sovereign, never subject. Let your older cat make the first move when it comes to love. You won't have to guess when the time is right, your kitty will let you know.
Cats kiss with their eyes. You will see the love there first. Don't try to stare into your cat's eyes. They hold their thoughts secret and they resent the intrusion. Look into your pet's eyes, then smile and look away. Gently pet your cat and talk very softly to your pet. If your cat relaxes and opens and shuts his paws with his claws covered, your kitty is loving you back. If your cat remains uneasy or his eyes narrow, he isn't in the mood. If his claws extend and you feel his body tense, better gently release him and let him go. Always remember to thank him in a gentle voice for the opportunity to hold him.
If you let your love grow over time, your kitty will feel safe and loved when you invade his privacy. Often he will make the first love move when you least expect it. He might jump into your lap, sit on your computer keyboard, nap on your pillow, or walk between your feet when you are fixing dinner. When your kitty does these things, you have been accepted into his world. Don't take your privilege for granted. One sharp word or unkind action will place you at the back of the line and you will be required to wait until your cat makes the next love move.

+++4 Suggestions for Golden Retrievers Puppies Adoption
If you've decided that golden retriever pups adoption is for you then great! Hopefully, you've given us a great deal of thought and come to this conclusion by doing your research and understand what you're getting yourself into. That's not to say that adopting a puppy is something that you should be afraid of, but it is something that requires some forethought. The reason that I say this is simple. Last year alone in North America between three and 4 million dogs were put down because potential owners got in over their heads.
These people simply consider the dog disposable and either took them to a shelter or simply let them go out on the street. This is no way to treat a family member. To avoid this situation and to make sure that you understand what you're dealing with theme give you a few tips about Golden retrievers.
There are some things that these dogs are and there are some things that these dogs are not. But if you are considering Golden retriever puppies adoption chances are that you have also considered your lifestyle and this is one of the reasons that you've made this choice.
Let me first cover what golden retrievers are not. They are not a dog that you want to buy for security. They simply are not a watchdog. They have a lot of great qualities but this is one of them. If this is your main concern then you should look at a different breed perhaps a German Shepherd or a different type of lab. But certainly not a golden retriever. A golden retriever will gladly welcome an intruder or burglar perhaps give them a quick sniff and then possibly even show them your stuff.
Let's cover what goldens require. The number one thing the golden retrievers with the choir in spades is exercise. Now, this is true for most dogs however goldens are especially energetic and active in this respect. They are grouped by the AKC into the sporting type of dog. This means that they like to run their like to hunt they like to swim and they like to generally be active.
If this describes your lifestyle, and you are the type of person that likes to jog or run or bicycle and taking the dog with you as part of the plan then this will be an excellent match. If however, you live in an apartment and perhaps don't get out very much or lead a sedentary lifestyle then this may not be the best choice. Your dog will become frustrated and bored and likewise, you will start to dislike her dog. And we all know how that ends up.
Secondly, this is a very smart dog. And what I mean by that is they have a higher than average mental capacity for the canine. You may be asking yourself how does this affect me? What's important because if you don't exercise the active mind or give your dog things to keep them mentally agile then he will entertain himself. And that generally means that he's going to target your stuff. Your socks your couch your favorite chair and things of this nature will become toys for him or her.
Fortunately, this is an easy one to solve. You simply have to have some time to spend with your dog in terms of perhaps hiding a treat under a bucket or hiding some piña butter inside a toy or things of this nature. If you take a walk through pet smart you will find all kinds of different toys that are designed to engage the active mind.
That leads me to the next point. Socialization. This is not a dog that wants to spend a lot of time in his own company. He wants to be around you and around her family members as much as possible. He is very much a social pack animal and therefore wants to be around other pack animals. Now it doesn't have to be just people they can also be other dogs Golden retriever will generally get along very well with other dogs. However, this is a dog that wants to be around people more than anything else. He also has a need to please people he is very much a human-centric dog.
Chewing-a you want to make sure that you have money set aside to buy toys that he or she can chew. If you're a hunter then taking them out hunting is also a good way to engage this reflects, but odds are you can't do that every day. To that point, it's interesting to note that the Golden retriever was originally conceived as a hunting dog and a dog that would retrieve the game. So it stands to reason then, that they like to hold things in their mouth. And that's where this comes from.
If you cover these four points and these four points seem to fit well with the way you live, then Golden retriever puppies adoption is probably the right choice for you. If you have a family of people around most of the time and you do a lot of things outdoors in which you can include your dog then this is the right choice. However, if some of these things don't fit well with your thinking or with your way of life and perhaps look at or at a different dog.
