Our Stress, Depression, Joy...Can Dogs Tell?
After a hard day at work, you come home and find that your dog had quite a day himself – at your expense. He took a vacation from his potty training, made mincemeat of your shoes and slobbered all over that blanket your grandmother knitted for you.
You get angry and your dog gives you the classic hangdog, guilty look. He knows you're mad. So does that mean your dog can sense your emotions? The answer is not as clear. Your reaction made it clear you – the pack leader – are upset, and…

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

Howling For Halloween
Okay I admit it, I love getting dressed up for Halloween - It's the one night throughout the year when you can let a little piece of your innermost hidden personality shine through. And it's even more fun if we get our dog dressed up, too.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel where itchy and prickly bed bugs attack you while you are trying to get a good night sleep. And this is not just the cheap hotels, in 2003, a businessman sued the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel in New York after he and a companion… Continue
