Do you have an overweight pet? I do! My 7-year-old pug Bear (a.k.a. Fatts), unfortunately, is so overweight that he developed diabetes and gets two shots a day for the rest of his short doggy life. Sad, isn’t it? One good thing — my boy has lost 10 pounds since being diagnosed. As you can [...]

This is why you shouldn’t let your pets up on the furniture. They’ll take it away from you. Especially if your pet is a 150 lb. English Mastiff. Watch the fight this dog puts up when his owner tries to get him down. Somehow I would guess that my wife would think this is kind [...]

Dale Mussen — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:00:06 +0000

It’s not a dog you see very often. They’re kind of odd-looking, very skinny with long rear legs and they’re known for being able to run very fast. But experts say even though Greyhounds can reach speeds of 50 miles an hour, they’re pretty docile. They can weigh 60 to 70 pounds and stand 2 and ½ to 3 feet tall, but they make better apartment dogs than some smaller breeds that are more active.
