Dog Tips For The Snow

Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm—dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season, so make sure yours always wears ID tags

How To Walk Your Dog In The Snow

1.Buy a sweater or jacket for your dog, especially if he has a short coat. Although some breeds have coats designed to keep them warm in cold weather, others need some extra protection.

2
Wipe your dog's paws off periodically to remove any snow or ice that has accumulated around the paw pads and between the toes. The compacted snow and ice can hurt your dog's feet and cause bleeding. Plus, the salt that's used on roads and sidewalks can burn your dog's paw pads and is harmful if he ingests it.

3
Purchase some dog booties or slippers from your local pet store and see if your dog will tolerate them. Although they're a great way to protect his paws, he may not be crazy about wearing anything on his feet.

4
Avoid sidewalks that are heavily salted, as well as extremely icy spots and deep snow.

5
Trim the hair between your dog's toes if it gets especially long. Balls of ice may form on long hairs and they can be extremely difficult to remove.

6
Look for alternatives on really cold days. Play fetch inside with your dog for a half hour.

Pup's First Snow

Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or encrusted ice.

Lazy Dogs Are Lazy

The Dog Shopper

“What to do when you can’t face going to the shops? Send someone else? For a dog owner in China, the solution was to train his pooch to go shopping for him. Meet Deng Deng: The one-year-old sheepdog who lives with his owner, Zhang Tiegang in Changsha, southern China. Despite Tiegang being a sprightly 32-years-of-age, he has trained Deng Deng to go to the shop, pick out his food and carry it all the way home for him. Deng Deng is kitted out with a specially made harness, which comes equipped with two bags where the pup can carry his owner’s shopping. Although the arrangement would seem to be beneficial for one side only, Tiegang claims that his dog is happy too. Tiegang said: ‘He just loves to carry things. He started by begging to carry things home in his mouth so I built a little saddle for him and attached some shopping bags. ‘He’s so good at it now that I can just send him to the shop with some money and a list in one of his bags and he comes home with the food and the change.”

Man Marries Dog

Man Marries Dog of the Day: A Toowoomba resident named Joseph Guiso gathered his family and friends in The Garden City’s Laurel Bank Park to exchange vows with his true love: A five-year-old Labrador named Honey.

“You’re my best friend and you make every part of my day better,” Guiso told his dog, as the officiant looked on. Apparently the newlyweds decided to take the plunge after stumbling across a wedding during an afternoon stroll through the park. “I said that could be us,” Guiso is quoted as saying. “She didn’t say anything so I took that as a yes.”

It’s official: This world is truly going to the dogs
