What Do Dogs Want?????

So good of you to adopt Homer and he is lucky to have found you. I hate people who mistreat dogs, and dislike those who get a puppy then get rid of them after a year or so.

Hard for a dog to trust when he is suddenly given away or left somewhere. Thankfully dogs ARE trusting and he will lose that look in his eyes after awhile.

My Silas did the same thing last weekend at my mom's house. From looking at where he turned his head and looked I found out that he was telling me that Molly mom's dog had gotten a hold of his stuff toy and was trying to chew it up and ruin it. I got the toy back and he played with it with me. He and Molly would run and jump for it and he had no problem with Molly playing with his toy but apparently didn't want her to chew it up. Later he came to me and again tried to tell me something important with those serious and seemingly sad eyes and I looked behind the chair where he seemed to point and Molly was enjoying trying to chew up his toy again. It is something that he seemed to reason that it was OK for her to play with his toy but that he didn't want her to ruin it.

Careful about his body ph. Silas will get an ear infection and stomach upset if he gets into the cat food one time too many. My vet says dogs can get sick if they eat too much cat food because it messes up the ph in their system. I wonder how many people don't realize that their dogs can get sick from sneaking the cat food.
