dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
Home Treatment for Sick Dogs. Top Story - June 2018.
My pooches are just as much a part of the family as my other half and I, so it’s heart breaking to know they are in pain (or think they are in pain). So many times I wish my dogs could tell me what’s wrong so I can avoid £100 for a quick visit to the vets to be told all is OK.

Mika's First New Family
My boyfriend and I just recently got our dog Mika. Mika was with her owner at the shop (Two Men and A Truck) when my boyfriend had walked up to her and started petting and playing with her. He is really good friends with her previous owner. When he said to his friend if he ever needed to find a good, safe, fun, and loving home for his Mika, we would love to take her in. The previous owner, being super happy to hear that a good friend and his new girlfriend would provide Mika with a good home, was more than happy to let her come and be with us! I guess my boyfriend's friend was going through a rough breakup and it was starting to get hard on him and Mika. He had told my boyfriend that he was just visiting his father before he was going to take her to the animal shelter.

My Dog Is My Best Friend
Two years ago my family and I moved to a new house in Southern California with 15,000 square feet of flat land. We decided it would be a wonderful idea to get a large dog since we have land for him or her to run around. We wanted to buy an Australian Shepherd Blue Merle male because my dad had one when he was a kid and they are truly great dogs. First, we researched information about that breed such as what their temperaments usually are around people and what it is like to own one. Then we were on the search for the perfect dog. Finally, after a month of searching through Facebook ads, we found a breeder that had a Blue Merle Aussie male for sale. So we drove two hours to meet all of the Aussies and chose the perfect puppy for our family.

Can Dogs Get Concussions?
Whenever we hear about concussions, we immediately think about athletes because so many of them get concussions during games. But we're not the only ones at risk of getting one but dogs get concussions, too. I recently figured this out when one of my dogs accidentally hit her head on the wall.

Life With Dogs
I am taking a brief step away from the "My First Lesbian Relationship" story to tell you guys about our life with the dogs. I've said it many times AND defended it many more times, but Dodger is truly our first child! We have raised him together SINCE birth and it has been the best experience for us. Since moving, we have taken in my grandma's dog, Lola, and that has been interesting and fun at the same time. They are best friends and worst enemies all in one, but it is all love.

Doggo Love
We are all obsessed with dogs. It’s a universal concept that dogs are awesome. They are the superior pet, and they love us, but I don’t think we quite understand how much they love us. If you think about it, dogs are kind of forced to like us because we are their source of everything. Domestic dogs, that is. We feed them. We give them water. We give them a home, but it goes much deeper than that. Our dogs are out number one fans. They constantly show us unconditional love. My dog is basically my shadow. Where I go, she goes. This makes the need for a leash obsolete since she is always a few steps behind me. When I sleep, she sleeps. Whether is be for 20 minutes or all day, she will not wake up until my feet hit the floor. When I eat, she eats. She will literally only eat when I am sitting at the table eating beside her. When she has to be boarded while I am away for an extended period of time, she does not eat at all.

Ember
On May 27th, 2017 my entire world changed. After a long day of work at Quicken Loans, I literally had to drag myself out of the car to go inside the house. Now, at this time my husband and I were crashing at a friend's house for a couple months while we were trying to get back on our feet. So, as I walk up to the door trying to put the key into the doorknob, I feel a little tug at my feet. It's dark out and not the greatest neighborhood, so my paranoid self jumped. I looked down and saw the saddest puppy dog eyes pawing at my feet. I was so confused. I looked around and saw the neighbors across the street starting to walk over to me. Now mind you, I have seen this dog. She belonged to a family down the street. She was always being pulled down the street by the kids. I felt awful whenever I would see her, but I didn't want to start any problems. The neighbors came over and said her family left her tied to the porch in 90 degree weather that day and I guess she got loose and almost got hit by a car. So the neighbors asked them to put her inside the house and they refused and said to let anyone take her. They lost interest in her. They couldn't take her so they were just sitting with her outside when she decided to run up to me that night.
