Considering Getting A Dog.


 

I have been a pet owner for most of my life and a veterinarian for almost half of my life, so I have seen my fair share of pets and pet owners. One of the biggest things I hate is seeing people jump at the decision to buy a dog without taking the time to think about this decision. When the decision to adopt a dog as an animal was made carelessly, the owners and the dog suffered equally.


Before you run out and buy a dog, take the time to think about your decision. Think about your current life. How can bringing a new dog to a picture affect things? Do you have enough time, energy and money to support a dog in your family? Sure, the idea sounds good now, but is it a wise choice?


If you are sure you can manage to bring a dog to your home and you are sure you have what it takes to take care of your dog, then keep an eye out and start researching what kind of dog might be right for you. A dog is not a dog it is not a dog. I hate to hear people talk about not caring what kind of dog they get. The breeds of dogs are different and require very different care. Learn what to do with the dogs you are interested in before buying.


It is good to visit people with dog breeds that you are interested in. See what their lives are like with the dog in the picture. The more research you do, the better you will be when you finally bring the dog into your home. Learn all you can from other dog owners and get their wisdom. I can assure you that having a dog as an animal is a good thing but a difficult one.


Prepare your family before bringing a dog into your home. Talk honestly about the bonds that will bring the dog to your home. Divide the tasks so that everyone can feel the important role they play. The family will always do better with the dog when they fully understand the work and dedication it will take to keep the dog alive and well.


I love seeing families bring dogs into their homes. I force, however, to see that the process is well done. Please use caution and discretion as you want to make the dog a part of your family.

10 unique animals you won't believe exist.

    I have prepared for you a selection of ten strange animals that you have probably never heard of, let alone, ever met.   1. Mangalitsa pig,   aka a pig in sheep's clothing. in the mid 19th century. Due to the fleece covering this animal, it resembles a sheep, therefore its name. The fleece can be black or red, but these cuties are most commonly blond. This is the last pig in existence to boast such an amazing winter coat. Tragically, it was nearly extinct by the 1990s, when fewer than 200 pigs could be found in Hungary, all because of their extraordinarily tasty lard. Thankfully, nowadays, the future of Mangalitsa looks much brighter!    2. Rhinopithecus,      They were called this way after the supposedly snub-nosed courtesan of Suleiman the Magnificent, in the 16th century. Sultan of the    Ottoman Empire. Another interesting thing is the difference between male and female monkeys, with males being twice heavier than   fe...

The decorative deerhound.

  The Deerhound is one of the most adorable, impressive and beautiful dogs to be seen, even if it is in the middle of the birdhouse, sitting comfortably in front of an open fireplace in the moderate fire of log fire polished weapons and clothes worn out in the open, filtering the leash as it smells dewy , or ties sweetly over the purple of their hills. Kindness and majesty pervade his entire movement and attitude, and even in the most prosaic sense there is an inseparable splendor of racial love and poetry. From ancient times the nobles of Scotland loved their Deerhound species, seeking a glorious game in the forests of the Highlands. The red deer belonged to the unforgettable law of the kings of Scotland, and large-scale drives, which usually lasted for a few days, were made to gather herds and give them places dedicated to the court, as in the time of Queen Mary. But the orderly arrangement of the deer by the court staff ended during Stuart's troubles, and it remained in the hand...
