Ruff Royality Take to the Street for Mardi Gras’s Krewe Parade

It’s Fat Tuesday, and we’re ready to let the good times roll! And dogs got into the Mardi Gras spirit with a pooch parade led by a new Krewe Queen and King. In 1993, as a barroom prank that stemmed from a meeting of the (local meteorologist)Margaret Orr fan club a canine-centered Mardi Gras ‘krewe’ was born. The organization, The Mystic Krewe of Barkus, is a non-profit group that advocates for animals and donates to various animal-welfare groups raised through fundraisers and donations throughout the year. Related: Lucy Pet Takes The Trophy At The Tournament Of Roses Each year, the Krewe’s furry paraders and their humans don their best Mardi Gras Masks and costumes and parade in a group that takes over the French Quarter! Presided over by dog-fan Orr since 1994, the parade has an annual theme, with this year’s being ‘Pirates of the Crescent City.’ No Mardi Gras Parade would be complete without a reigning King and Queen, and this year’s royal court leaders were King Maximillian and Queen Athena. Traditionally, the krewe’s king is a purebred, while the chosen queen was a rescue, and both are hailed throughout the Krewe.

Dog Laws – Gracie’s Law Says Dogs More Than Property

Are There Dog Laws In Place To Protect Your Best Friend? Your dog is a member of your family, not a piece of property. But that’s how your state probably sees it. It’s like if something in your home was lost, stolen or damaged – the same rules apply to your dog. When it comes to dog laws, not everyone in your house is treated equal. A lot of people think these dog laws need to be changed, including Kenneth Newman, a 33-year veterinarian and author of the book, “Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge.” He has proposed a law called Gracie’s Law, which recognizes the emotional bond between pet and owner and entitles the owner of a pet killed through an act of malice or negligence to $25,000 in damages. Related: Logan’s Law Will Mandate Animal Abusers Registry, Tougher Penalties The dog law comes out of a personal tragedy –Newman’s dog Gracie was killed in April 2008 when a driver backed up 25 yards without looking, crushing Newman and Gracie between two vehicles. He suffered a broken leg, but Gracie was killed in the accident. “An attorney looked me in the eye and said that my dog was a piece of property, that I wasn’t entitled to anything for the dog, and that this was a simple broken-leg case,” said Newman. When the case went to court, Newman learned that the loss of his beloved companion had no standing in the case. “An attorney looked me in the eye and said that my dog was a piece of property, that I wasn’t entitled to anything for the dog, and that this was a simple broken-leg case,” said Newman. Related: Police Dog’s Heroic Sacrifice The Inspiration Behind Aron’s Law In every state, he says, laws view pets as property. Owners are entitled to no more than replacement value, which means no worth or consideration when it comes the loss of companionship, grief, or pain and suffering. Recently, there has been an increase of cases involving pet owners, one of the most common being visitation when a martial union ends in separation or divorce. As well, a case that went to court in April saw a Denver judge award $65,000 for the death of a dog when a cleaning service allowed the dog to get outside, where it was hit by a car. What do you think about Gracie’s Law? Does it go too far or not far enough? Do you think it has a chance of passing? Do you have an experience where this law would have helped you?

Airedale Terrier

Airedale Terrier Basics Of all the terriers, there may be none that so embody what we imagine this type of dog to be than the Airedale Terrier. An authentic English terrier finds its home in a specific place – Airedale, of all places – but is just as happy to make its home with and your family. Like many terriers, you will find that this dog is capable of a lot of love, a lot of companionship, and can even make an excellent playmate. Its overall attractive coat is hard to resist for the younger members of your family and you’ll find there’s nothing quite like petting a terrier. There’s a reason, after all, they call Airedale Terriers the so-called king of terriers. But is the Airedale Terrier for you? Depending on the type of “dog person” you are, your answer will vary. Each dog breed has its own strengths and weaknesses, and these strengths and weaknesses mean specific breeds can be more suitable to certain types of dog owners. As we learn about the Airedale Terrier, we’ll also learn about the terrier group as a whole and hopefully you’ll just find a little something out about the types of dogs you’d prefer to bring home. Let’s find out more about the Airedale Terrier. Like many terriers, you will find that this dog is capable of a lot of love, a lot of companionship, and can even make an excellent playmate. Origin Like many terriers, the Airedale Terrier hails from the British Isles – England, specifically. Many people hypothesize that the Airedale Terrier comes from the Aire valley in England, which obviously lends itself to the dog’s name – although names can be deceiving, particularly if the wrong one catches on. Since the Airedale Terrier’s history, like many other breeds, is focused on the 19th and 20th centuries, when it started gaining recognition, we can safely say that this breed did probably arise out of that region in England. How were they bred? They were bred as jacks-of-all-trade, able to provide both companionship, a keen hunter’s instinct, and have developed a sporty, active demeanor. The first Airedale Terriers – or at least their ancestors – were not very similar to the Airedales that we see today. This makes this specific breed a relatively recent development in the world of terriers. Pedigree

Best Fish Food for Algae Eaters

Finding the perfect combination of aquarium inhabitants is an art. You want to find species that are compatible with each other in terms of size and color, but you also have to think about aggression and diet as well. Once you’ve established the ideal balance, it can be challenging to add a new inhabitant to the tank. If you’re struggling to control problem algae, however, adding a new species could be your best option. Bristlenose Plecostomus, oto cats, and other algae eaters are a natural and long-term solution for problem algae, but they require care of their own.

Beaglier

Beaglier BasicsI’ll bet you didn’t think that a Beagle could get any better. A classic mistake that all too many people make. That’s the thing about designer dogs. Breeders take something that we all love and find a way to make it even better. Today, it’s time to say “hello” to the Beaglier, a mix of Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. As it usually goes with designer dogs, these pooches boast the best of both worlds – the most beloved traits of their parents all bundled up in one super cute package. These adorable pooches crave human attention and will be stuck to your side most of the day. When they catch their human family relaxing and unwinding, they will no doubt be attached to your hip, forever begging for belly rubs and head pats. Anyone who enjoys affectionate pups will be seduced by this cutie, who lives to love and be loved.This hybrid dogs are even easily adaptable to most home environments. Beagliers don’t often bark at strange noises or strangers coming into the house, which makes them perfect apartment dwellers. However, you should provide them with plenty of chew toys, as they do often get bored and will go after whatever they see that is chewable (for example, Beagliers will consider your shoes to be perfect toys to sink their teeth into). Despite being chewers, the Beaglier does wonderfully with children, both younger and older. They are friendly, affectionate, and absolute saps when it comes to their favorite humans. This doggos love aggressively and it’s all too easy to love them right back.These dogs usually take their excellent sniffing abilities from their Beagle parent, so expect them to always follow their nose wherever it should take them.OriginDesigner dogs are a fairly new and recent phenomenon, but they’ve taken the world by the storm. These dogs are 50/50 mixes of two different purebred dogs and have been specially developed to display certain characteristics or reduce some traits in the existing parental breeds – for example, combining the genes of a hypoallergenic dog to make a certain breed more suited to people with mild dog allergies, and so on. However, while hybrids are quite popular, not many of them have a well-documented history, including Beaglier. After all, it’s difficult to say when such a mix first occurred, when there has probably been a fair share of Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixes throughout history – albeit not intentional, but rather accidental.Even so, knowing what we know about designer dogs in general, we can, fairly confidently ,assume that the Beaglier was also first developed as a breed sometime in the 1990s or early 2000s when most crossbreeds came to be. Some sources indicate that it was first developed in Australia, but that is yet to be confirmed.What’s clear is the idea behind developing the Beaglier breed. Breeders were probably looking for a small and energetic dog who had a less active scent drive than the Beagle. So they decided to cross-breed a Beagle with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (because they are known to be well-mannered, even-tempered dogs). Since then, their popularity has grown and they can be found throughout North America and Europe. These dogs keep spreading around the world because they are such incredible companions in almost any environment.Pedigree

Tamaskan

Tamaskan BasicsThere are many dog breeds in the world – and equally as many dog looks. From tiny to small, shaggy to smooth, burly to slender, the variations are endless. And that means that there is a dog out there for every owner’s preference. Some folks want a dog that looks like a doll, the type that can fit in a purse and feel like an accessory. Other people want something more from their dog. They want elegance, power, and a truly magnificent appearance paired with a great personality. They’re seeking a pet that looks like a tamed wolf. Different strokes, as they say! For those dog owners on the hunt for a big boy who looks like he could star in a White Fang remake, may we humbly recommend the Tamaskan. They are so unique and beautiful, that you could easily mistake them for a majestic gray wolf roaming the wild. But no need to worry – they are the perfect pet doggo: kind, fun, energetic, and obedient. Not wild in the slightest! The Tamaskan may look like a wolf, but this breed is all dog. In fact, this pooch was selectively bred by dog breeders over many years, in order to create the wolf-like appearance that is so highly sought after. And trust us - these are truly stunning animals. You’ll want to just stand there and admire them for hours on end. There is something about their wolf-like appearance that just inspires awe, don’t you agree?Either way, Tamaskan dogs are both a new and rare breed but they are extremely intelligent and highly versatile in terms of dog sports and working ability. They have so much to offer. Still, this breed is best for experienced dog owners who have the time and the ability to provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.The Tamaskan may look like a wolf, but this breed is all dog.OriginJust by looking at them, you’d think that the Tamaskan is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, reaching back to the time when wolves were first tamed. But – sorry to disappoint you – the Tamaskan dog is a fairly new breed, having only been developed in the 1980s. The origins of the breed can be traced back to a group of five Husky-type dogs that were imported into the United States during the 1980s. These dogs were crossed with Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and German Shepherds to create new breed that would resemble wolf in its appearance, while displaying the obedience and intelligence that are characteristic of domesticated dogs. The mix was a clear success, and the breed was then exported to Finland for additional development. The first result was the Utonagan dog, but some believe that further crossing of this breed with the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is what made the Tamaskan dog as we know it today. Unfortunately, we can’t be certain of this pup’s specific history because like all designer dogs, there simply wasn’t much documented. All that we know for sure is the fact that this is a fairly fresh breed in the world – but loved dearly nonetheless.The purpose for creating this dog breed was to develop a domestic dog that had a wild appearance and strong working ability. It’s safe to say that the breeders achieved this goal with the Tamaskan. This dog delivers as advertised – and much more than that. The first litter of Tamaskan puppies came to the United States in 2005 and there are now several Tamaskan breeders across the U.S.PedigreeThe Tamaskan dog was selectively bred from Husky-type dogs that were imported into the USA during the 1980s. The breed was developed with influence from Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes , German Shepherd and even a little bit of Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. And since all of these breeds are well known as powerful and majestic, you can definitely count on your Tamaskan looking equally as great. 

5 Alternatives to the Dreaded Cone of Shame

But although fun and goofy, the cone of shame is nothing to laugh about – it’s there for a special reason. Still, if you want to ditch the lamp shade, try one of these safe alternatives that can work just as well.As a dog owner, there will come a time when you will have to subject your dog to the dreaded “ cone of shame” – the Elizabethan collar (also known as the e-collar). Not only do these collars make your dog look like a walking satellite dish, but they can be stressful and upsetting for some pooches. However, an e- collar is not a fashion statement but rather a medical aid: they are used to prevent your pet from licking, biting, and scratching a recovering wound after a surgery. The cone is a simple and old-fashioned solution to stop this, but it might be scary for some dogs or downright uncomfortable.If you want to keep your dog from licking his stitches or otherwise accessing an injured body part, consider one of these alternatives to classic dog elizabethan collars. They are less funny-looking and uncomfy, but equally efficient! Inflatable neck pillowYou’re probably familiar with those circular pillows that people use to sleep on airplanes – inflatable neck pillows for dogs look similar. These neck pillows come in several different sizes and can be a comfortable alternative to the e-collar. To use one of these, simply inflate the pillow then place it around your dog’s neck and secure it with Velcro. The pillow will prevent your dog from biting, scratching, or licking without impeding his vision. The secret of this design is its semi-rigid form: the dog simply won’t have the range of motion needed to reach around and lick the wound. It is a crafty and simple solution, with very few drawbacks. Our choice: BENCMATE Protective Inflatable Collar for Dogs

Puggle

Puggle Basics If you are in the market for a doggo so adorable that it will keep a smile plastered on your face for every second that you spend together, then it’s about time that you met the Puggle. Lively and full of the spunk, the Puggle is a fun-loving little clown. He’ll run around and play like he was a puppy, even long after he is all grownup! His perky attitude and spark of enthusiasm will keep the family laughing day after day. It’s like keeping a furry reservoir of joy in your home. The smiles will never stop with a Puggle in your life. This popular designer dog was developed by crossing the flat-face Pug with the floppy-eared beagle. The combination of these two very popular dogs results in a hybrid that boasts the best that his parents have to offer, all bundled up in one adorable package. A perfect combination of popular doggos that some owners think is even better than the Puggle’s beloved parents. The Puggle’s low maintenance coat and his ability to get much of his exercise indoors make him the perfect pet for those living in the city or an apartment building. Your Puggle will have no problem fitting into a city or couch potato lifestyle. However, he still enjoys running around outside, so the occasional trip to a dog park is an excellent idea as well. Owing to his hound genes, this cute designer dog can have a penchant for sniffing his way straight to trouble. So make sure to always keep your Puggle on a leash in unsecured areas. A loving and social dog, the Puggle makes new friends wherever he goes. People gravitate to this little fellow and love his good-natured attitude and handsome looks. These dogs are irresistible no one can resist their charms. Probably not even you. Want to know why? Then keep your eyes glued to this page to learn more about the Puggle. Lively and full of the spunk, the Puggle is a fun-loving little clown. Origin Not all designer dogs have a well-documented history or any recorded history at all for that matter. However, this popular hybrid is one of the few designer dogs with well known roots. The Puggle originated in the United States in the 1980s. Many believe that the first Puggles were the result of an accidental breeding. However, enthusiasts of this hybrid breed claim that they actually originated from a planned breeding don in the hopes of creating a new dog breed. The first person to have intentionally produced a litter of Pug-Beagle mix puppies was Wisconsin breeder Wallace Havens. He will forever be known as the proud poppa of the Puggle. As a result of multigenerational breeding, Puggles have gained incredible popularity in the U.S. Seemingly everyone wants one of these pups. In fact in 2005, the Puggle became the most widely owned crossbreed dog in history! Keeping in mind the popularity of designer dogs and hybrids in general, this says a lot about the Puggle. These dogs didn’t get so popular by accident. They deserve and earn their love. Puggle breeders have been working diligently to create a more standard look and temperament for the hybrid. This crossbreed is accepted by several registries. Breeders even have high hopes that the Puggle will eventually be recognized by the American Kennel Club, an organization that holds an infamous bias against designer dogs.. For now, this Pug/Beagle mix shares the fate of his other crossbreed fellows and gets no recognition from this prestigious organization. One day the AKC will finally learn to love designer pups along with everyone else, but it is not this day. Pedigree

Is It Okay to Have Sex in Front of Your Dog?

Birds do it, bees do it – hey, it’s natural! But it can be hard to do when someone is watching you. That’s why you may ask if it’s okay to have sex in front of your dog. Your dog is your best friend and you are his. He loves you more than he loves anything in the world, so you shouldn’t be surprised if he acts a little possessive from time to time. But some dogs take it too far. For some dogs, even the simple act of someone hugging their owner can seem like a threat. Dogs don’t always understand human body language or our actions, so they can easily be confused. But how does your dog feel when you’re having sex? What does he make of it all? Keep reading to find out. Related: Planned Parenthood Uses Pussycats For New Sex Education Videos What is Your Dog Thinking? If you’re a pet owner, you’ve probably had experiences where your dog showed up in the middle of a situation at an inconvenient time. Perhaps it’s when you’ve just cleaned the floor and he chooses that moment to run across it with muddy paws. Things like this happen but you probably aren’t concerned about it, much less bothered by it. But when you find your dog staring at you having sex, it can be a little unsettling. Related: Having the Awkward Talk About Cats Humping Though your dog may not understand exactly what you’re doing, he has some sense of what’s happening and could react in one of several ways. Animal communication experts suggest that dogs see sex as an exchange of energy and, perhaps more importantly, as a redirection of your attention away from the dog and onto someone else. For some dogs, this can trigger jealousy or incite some kind of territorial reaction. That’s when your dog starts to act a little creepy. For some dogs, they just see sex as a form of activity or play that they want to be part of. So, they jump on the bed or whine at you until you give in and give them the attention they’re craving. What Should You Do? If you don’t like having your dog around while you have sex, simply close the bedroom door or put him in another room. This is a simple enough solution that works well in most cases. In other cases, however, the dog can become very territorial and protective of his owner, sometimes going so far as to step into the moment and try to break things up. If this happens on a regular basis, you may need to consult an animal behavior expert to work with your dog. Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with having sex in front of your dog. What really matters is now you feel about it. If it doesn’t bother you and if it doesn’t seem to bother your dog, there’s no reason to make a change. If your dog starts becoming dominant or territorial, however, that is another matter and an issue you may need to address. Sometimes it’s difficult for dog owners to understand their dog’s behavior. Put yourself in your dog’s shoes for a moment and consider what he might be thinking when he sees you having sex. Perhaps you’d rather not think about it at all, but you should still know that your dog isn’t getting any kind of strange enjoyment out of it – he’s simply curious or concerned.

Study Finds Yelling At Your Dog Affects Them More Than We May Think

We know that yelling when we’re angry doesn’t typically produce beneficial results, but we are all human and it happens.
