Dear Diary,

Here is more information to help your owner take better care of you or to find you a loving companion.


Adopt a Shelter DogIf you are considering adding a dog to your family consider checking your local rescues and animal shelters first. Nobody wants a home to work out well and be a good match more than the people who work at the shelters and rescues. These good-hearted people know the quirks and personalities of the dogs they work, have assessed them and can often tell you why the dog was relinquished in the first place. - Dogs Guide Krista Mifflin

Adopt a Senior DogJust because there's a little grey on the muzzle, it doesn't mean that he's ready to lie down and give up. Most so-called "senior" dogs are still in prime health, with energy and abilities to match. Don't let his age fool you; adopt a senior dog and have a steady companion who won't let you down.- Dogs Guide Krista Mifflin

Do you dread giving pills to your pooch? Try this approach. First, place your palm on top of her snout, with your fingers on one side of her mouth and thumb on the other. Gently lift the lips and insert your index finger behind the long upper teeth on one side and your thumb behind the long upper teeth on the other side. You may need to squeeze lightly to accomplish this. When you do, pull her nose up and with your other hand drop the pill in the back of the mouth, behind the hump of the tongue. Close her mouth and immediately bring her nose back down, holding her mouth shut. She should swallow right away. If she doesn't, try blowing on her nose or squirting water into the side of her mouth with a turkey baster.
