Poisonous Foods for Dogs

I thought I should publish a short list of poisonous foods that you should not feed your dog. During the Holiday Season, which is fast approaching, you might want to ensure your guests don't feed your dog and kill it with kindness. Please take some time to check it out. If you know of a food that was missed in the list and would like to add to it, please leave a comment.

News Reel - THS

Today's bit of advice ... Beware the snake in the grass. To the left is a picture of one of our dogs taken while we were out gallivanting through the fields. Can you see the snake?






Here's a closer picture (to the right) in case you can't make it out ... It is a bit more clear and should be easier to see. Please take a few minutes to check out the latest news results from the ongoing

CL - Letters to a Dog

I read this and couldn't help but post it. It's another gem I saw on CL and thought I'd share.

Today's featured rescue is a Labrador Retriever mix, but I really like the look of the guy so had to post him. Chester is estimated to be 2 years old. He does require some obedience training per the ad ... don't they all??

Featured Rescue - Gator the Yellow Labrador Retriever

(And people think I'm cruel when I suggest an abortive spay for an "oops, we didn't know she could get pregnant")



Today's featured rescue is Gator. He is 3 years old and reportedly quite gentle. His
