All Things Dog Blog

Posted: 13 Sep 2009 02:00 PM PDT

This is BIG news for dog lovers. Up until now, Cesar Millan's show, The Dog Whisperer, has been available only to cable viewers and those of us willing to shell out the kibble worth a set of DVDs. Yes, I'll admit, I own them all, or all that are currently available. That's mostly because I don't get cable that provides the Dog Whisperer show to me.

My kids say we're cheap, but the truth is we watch little TV. Better to live our lives than to watch others live their fake ones. Did I say "Get a Life?" Absolutely not. It's your decision.

Getting back to Cesar. He's launching a new magazine as of this month. Have you seen it at the news stand yet? I can't wait. I'm hopeful to catch a few tidbits on topics that always seem to elude me. His insight is amazing and invaluable to those of us willing to give it a chance.

No, his techniques don't work for everyone. You must make a concerted and consistent effort to be a pack leader 24/7. That means you're always in charge and you let your dog make zero decisions for himself. This is clearly not doable for everyone. I get it.

But if you're open minded to absorbing what you can, this may be your ticket. Order your bi-monthly (that's every 2 months) subscription from this Cesars Way Amazon link to the Dog Whisperer Magazine and you're off to the dog training 101. You can do it right here, right now and be done with it.

Opinions? Thoughts? Comments? Rants? Raves? Hit that link at the bottom of the post and sound off!

One last thing. Don't forget to join me for the big introduction on Friday. Our new staff veterinarian, Dr. Jacki, will be introduced, with her first post to be coming soon thereafter. We're very proud to have this new addition and hope to see you here to learn more. For now, be thinking of questions you'd like to ask, and email them to us at LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com .

230 dogs seized from breeder

Posted: 10 Sep 2009 11:02 PM PDT

G'day Dog Lovers,

I'm sure most of you have already seen today's news story about the 230 dogs that were seized from a Qld breeder. These poor creatures were kept in absolutely appalling conditions and several dead dogs were found at the property.

You can read the full story here - http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/rspca-seizes-230-dogs-from-qld-breeder-20090911-fkec.html

According to this article, no charges have been laid yet. Let's hope that changes soon.

Stay-cation

Posted: 11 Sep 2009 08:54 AM PDT

So, we know that many of you have been worried about us all week. Doby and I wanted to let you know that we decided to take a stay-cation for the week. It's the latest trend. All the cool pups are doing it. Basically, we just stayed in the house and pretended we were on vacation. No, mom & dad didn't join in the fun. No, we didn't actually do anything super cool. So, basically, it was really just a normal week with a fun name. :) Anyway, we came back now and we have some updates for you.

We told you all earlier about the "moving" going on around here. We still aren't sure exactly what that means, but a lot of boxes have started showing up and things off the shelves are missing. (Don't worry, none of the food or toys has disappeared into a box yet. We checked.) The boxes are pretty fun to have around.

The only other update I have for you all is that Doby seriously needs a bath. He smells bad.

That is all.

Love,
Princess Lola
P.S.- These are pictures of us stay-cation-ing!

Fall is a great time to care for your green lawn!

Posted: 10 Sep 2009 07:15 AM PDT

Fall is a great time to care for your lawn. Why? It's cooler, there's still a bit of time for growing, and your lawn is preparing itself for the harsh winter and needs some help and protection.

So how do we spiffy up our lawn for Fall and help it get ready for the Winter season for a flourishing lawn in the Spring?

The first thing we do it wait for a nice rainfall, then get out there and pull some weeds that have infested our lawn over the Summer. We'll then mow at a 3" height, because a higher height of grass will help keep those weeds at bay.

We'll wait a day or so and then spray some good organic fertilizer. We like to use a spray fish emulsion because it instantly starts working and there aren't any granules to interest us pups.

Then Mum gets busy using an un-coated grass seed that's right for our climate and overseeds the lawn and spreads some in the bare spots. Then she makes sure the seeds are well watered in. Then, we sit back and wait for the magic to happen :)

Our lawns are one of the places us pups spend the most time. We play out there, we poo out there and we spend lots of time with our pals enjoying the great outdoors.

That's why it's so important to keep it safe, and keep it green in more way than one. Contrary to popular belief and advertising the dangerous lawn chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides that millions of people put on their lawns throughout the year are incredibly harmful to us dogs. Exposure to these chemicals have been linked to cancer in us pups, as well as other major illnesses. And they have harmful effects on the environment, too!

That's why keeping a green, safe and chemical free lawn is so important for pets and people. And it's not difficult to have an amazing lawn the green way. There are some pawsome companies with organic and safe products on the market that will help you have a green, lush, healthy and wonderful lawn without the use of harmful chemicals.

Read more about why having a safe lawn is so important for your pup - from our lawn care blog post talking about the potential dangers of commercial lawn chemicals from last Spring!
