Which is why Kalah Nakic of Ontario, Canada knew her beloved dogs Mya and Kobe had to be part of her reveal in some way. Tragically, 14-year-old Mya died right before the reveal was to happen.

ITS A ……. 💗💙💗💙💗 FYI!!! ITS A DOG SAFE FRIENDLY CAKE MADE ESPECIALLY AND ONLY FOR HIM! He only ate what you see in the video and we took it away right away. He isn't gagging in the video, the mashed potatoes were a little sticky. I checked his mouth and he was totally fine!!

A post shared by Kalah (@kalahnakic) on Sep 26, 2018 at 5:39pm PDT

Still, Kobe was up for the challenge and he happily shared with the Nakics and their friends that he was getting a new baby sister.

The cake was made by a local baker and was stuffed with yummy bacon bits and had mashed potatoes frosting.

Nakic said that they still were honoring their missing Mya because Kobe wore a blue bandana (for himself) and Mya’s pink bandana as a tribute. The pair had just received Mya’s ashes the day before and they were so glad she was ‘home’ for the party.

Nakic says that Kobe is attached to her hip and is the most cuddly and compassionate dog she’s ever had. Kobe knows when she needs some moral support and will come and lick her tears away if she’s crying.

Sounds like the makings of an amazing big fur-brother, doesn’t it?

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?

Boxer

Boxer Basics You don’t usually come across someone who doesn’t know what a Boxer looks like. Enjoying widespread popularity, Boxers sport that square jaw line and impressive under bite that gives them a fighter-like appearance. Sporting strong legs and deep, loud barks that make you take notice, Boxers are an impressive breed that is great for families. Notorious for being incredibly intelligent, Boxers are often used for service purposes like police dogs and therapy aid. Along with Golden or Labrador Retrievers, Boxers rank among the most popular dogs for this important work. It’s not just its intelligent that makes it a real people dog – Boxers love being around people! They love human affection, especially from children, and will never leave your side when you’re at home. There are plenty of reasons why a Boxer will make a welcome addition to your family – read on to find out more about this breed. Notorious for being incredibly intelligent, Boxers are often used for service purposes like police dogs and therapy aid. Origin We’ve filled you in on the recent history of the Boxer breed. They make great pets, service dogs, and even guard dogs. But let’s go back to its past, where you’re sure to find in much more interesting. Developed in Germany in the 19th century, Boxers were used by butchers to control cattle and for hunting purposes (they could run and hold down wild boar and bison), as well as being one of the first breeds of dogs used as police and military dogs. Unfortunately, they were also used for dog fighting – a Boxer would stand up on its hind legs and “box” with its opponent. Boxers were later imported to America after World War I, and gained popularity in the late 1930s. Pedigree

Dachshund

Dachshund Basics You may know it as the “Weiner Dog,” but its actual breed name is Dachshund. Known for its long, stretched-out appearance and short legs, there are three types of Dachshunds: long-haired, wired-haired and short-haired. The only difference between the three is size and coat description; the distinct build is the same in any of the types. Boasting a regal and intelligent expression on its face, the Dachshund has a long head with protruding and arched eyebrows, a long muzzle with a scissor bite and very strong teeth. Its eyes are either brownish black or deep red. Another distinguishing characteristic is its long ears that are soft to the touch. If you’re looking for a happy addition to your family, you can’t go wrong with a Dachshund – it always has a friendly look on its face. Read on to learn more about the breed. You may know it as the “Weiner Dog,” but its actual breed name is Dachshund. Origin The Dachshund can trace its origins hundreds of years ago to Germany. Some sources place the origin of the breed as far as the 15th century, but a more likelier number is late 17th to early 18th century, when first concrete mentions of a dachshund-like breed can be found. Books from that era describe certain dogs named “Dachs Kriecher” (meaning “badger crawler”) or “Dachs Krieger” (“badger warrior”), and it is largely believed that this is when the Dachshund breed was actually developed as such- the previous mentions were more general and referred to all types of dogs fulfilling the role of badger hunting rather than a specific breed. Bred to track and hunt badgers, this breed was developed with the specific sport in mind. The Dachshund was engineered for this hunting activity and it is directly reflected through its unique body shape. Its short legs let it burrow deep into the badgers’ dens and its long, sturdy tail gave the hunters a “handle” they could pull to retrieve the burrowing dog out from the den. As well, its large and paddle-shaped paws made digging efficient and its loose skin ensured it wouldn’t tear as the dog tunneled into tight burrows. The smaller Dachshunds were used to hunt hare and rabbits, while the larger ones caught smaller animals like otters and foxes. Interestingly, the smooth-haired type of Dachshund is believed to be the oldest of the tree, with the wiry and long-haired variants being developed later in the breed’s history. While originally developed to be used for hunting, in the 1800s, Dachshunds moved from hunters to cherished and pampered pets. It is then when the dogs were bred to be smaller in size- the Dachshunds became about 10 pounds lighter in this transition. Not unlike most small dogs in that period, Dachshunds were beloved lap dogs of ladies and nobles, and started enjoying all of the perks that came with their new status. Similarly, the breed was then bred and selected for other traits that would make it more appealing in its new role, such as playfulness, affection, and friendliness rather than a prey drive- which, truthfully, did survive in the breed to this day in some form (it’s mostly the garden beds that bear the brunt of it).

These dogs were used to hunt raccoons and the American Red Fox. The American Coonhound was also used to hunt opossums, cougars, deer, boars, bobcats and bears.

Palomino Rabbit

Palomino Rabbit Breed History/Origin Mark Youngs of the Lone Pine Rabbitry in Washington state had raised rabbits for many years and wanted to develop a new breed. He crossed several commercial-typed rabbits in the late 1940s and eventually made way for a rabbit he called “Tawnies.” He enlisted the help of a few other breeders and together, they developed their brightly colored tawnies into a new breed and obtained an American Rabbit Breeder’s Association’s (ARBA) working standard under the name “Washingtonian.” The new rabbit breed was presented in an ARBA convention in 1953, where the name was changed to Palomino and in 1957, the Palomino Rabbit was officially recognized by the ARBA. The Palomino rabbit needs plenty of time outside of its enclosure to explore and thrive. Overall Description

SuperZoo 2016 Day 2: PAW5 Wooly Feeding Mat

It’s a bowl and a mat all in one! The Wooly Feeding Mat makes dogs work for their meals, and it’s made with up-cycled woven strands. You’ve heard about feeding bowls, but how about a feeding mat? I found one at SuperZoo – it’s the Wooly, an environmentally-friendly dog feeder developed to challenge, engage and entertain the multitude of bored and under-stimulated dogs. The PAW5 Wooly engages dogs’ powerful sense of smell as they snuffle, snort and sniff their way through dinner. By combining their natural foraging instincts with mealtime, dogs have the opportunity to use the most powerful tool they were born with: their nose. Wooly puts their nose and brain to work by mimicking the hunt for food in grass and fields. Here’s how it works: you pour the food or treats on the snuffle mat and the specially woven strands require dogs to sniff and hunt their way through mealtime. The Wooly is sustainably sourced and handmade with an up-cycled, negative waste product made by one of their global community partners in Thailand and Ghana. The Wooly is also a great enrichment tool for all breeds of dog, and is super easy to clean. When it get’s dirty, just throw it in the washer and dryer and it’ll be as good as new. It’s a cool feeding idea that’s great for dogs who gulp down their meals, and its product sustainability makes it a great purchase you can feel good about.

Doxiepoo

Doxiepoo Basics The Doxiepoo is also known as the Doxiedoodle, Dachshundpoo or Dachshunddoodle… but Doxiepoo is arguably the cutest to say and easiest to pronounce. Depending on how much the Doxiepoo takes from its parents, the may have the poodle’s hypoallergenic fur and ease of trainability. The more they take from their Dachshund parent, the greater their chance of having short fur and a longer, lower frame. In general, the Doxiepoo is a well-mannered dog who has no problem being their master’s sole source of affection and attention. However, should your Doxiepoo be introduced to children when their puppies, he will no doubt grow up thinking they are all siblings. They do not easily take to other pets unless they have be socialized at a young age. For this reason, we recommend the Doxiepoo being the only pooch in the house – trust us, they’ll provide enough entertainment for a lifetime of laughs! If you’re consistent, keep a positive attitude and always reward good behavior with treats, Doxiepoos will no doubt learn every trick in the book… and then some. Doxiepoo Origin The Doxiepoo is a mix between a Dachshund and Toy Poodle. The Poodle originated in Germany (not France ) and were mostly used as water retriever dogs. When hunters would shoot ducks, Poodles were the four-legged swimmers who would get them from lakes and rivers. They are easily trained, mischievous and don’t like to be left alone. Dachshunds also originated in Germany but unlike Poodles who retrieved the hunted, they were the hunters! When they branched out into Great Britain, they were bred to become companions rather than hunters. Today, they are mostly companion dogs who are always up for a good movie, cuddled snugly in your lap. For the past two decades, many purebred dogs have been cross-bred to make new designer dog breeds that combine the likeness and characteristics of two different breeds. The Doxiepoo is the result of mixing a purebred Dachshund and a purebred Poodle. Pedigree

To find out everything that you need to know about the Yorkie Bichon, simply keep your eyes glued to this page and scroll away. Everything is about to be revealed. Read on.The Yorkie Bichon is a cross between a purebred Bichon Frise and Yorkshire Terrier.Origin The Yorkie Bichon is a designer crossbreed from the United States. But, apart from the country he originates from, there’s little else we know about this adorable fluffy dog. Sadly like pretty much all hybrid dogs, there simply isn’t much documentation available about the breed’s history. One of the main reasons why the history of the Yorkie Bichon is so full of mystery is the fact that mixed breed dogs haven’t always been thought of as designer dog breeds. It stands to reason that there have been many accidental mixed breed litters of the Yorkie and Bichon Frise throughout history, way before Yorkie Bichon got his name and status as a hybrid. We’ll never know for sure.However, based on what we already know about the designer dog breeds in general, we can pretty much figure out how it happened for the Yorkie Bichon. It’s highly likely that it shares the origin story with many other designer hybrids from the United States and that it was first developed sometime in the last 20 years. Other than that, we simply don’t know much about how this hybrid came to be. Thankfully, we do know quite a bit about why you need to bring one of these remarkable (and mysterious) pups home.Pedigree
