Our hound dog, Sadie has COPD and about every six weeks she has to go get a shot to keep this under control. If she doesn't get this she starts coughing badly. This has been going on for a couple of years and you would think she...

The other day I had the opportunity to spend nearly eight hours with one of my closest friends, ironically my closest friend that is a male and whom I love very much (meaning as much as I love my husband but only in a different...

barehugs I'm my own best friend! (seems funny you know, but it really is so! I'm my own best friend!) If you can't trust yourself who can you trust?

Many dog owners buy bright colored toys for their dog,not knowing that dogs do not see red, orange or green. Red appears as brown or gray to your dog. A green ball may be hard for your dog to distinguish because it looks gray and...

barehugs Well he can see the white and green better, perhaps. Try putting some gravy on the toy he doesn't care for, to see if he goes by his nose or his eyes.

barehugs She is obviously more interested in what she can smell than what she can see. Humans can only guess at what the world is like to a dog! Read the response above by savypat!

barehugs A great many things in this world are People orientated rather than Pet orientated. Here is a story to demonstrate this truism. A man wanted to know which loved him the most- his wife or his dog, so he locked them both in the trunk of his car for 15...

barehugs Well its not that the dog doesn't like green, red and orange colored toys, They all look rather gray to the dog. If the dog is going to like the toy it won't matter what color the toy is. Its just that the red, orange and green toys sell better because the dog...

barehugs Thanks for that pat, I find your posts very colorful and quite enlightening! A better sense of smell would at times, be preferable to sight, especially in the dark, or when there were several objects of the same color, shape, and size, that you needed to tell...

barehugs I'm wondering how you tested your Lamas on the colors they can see? And why do you have to give them different colored bowls? (I'm a curious old farmer who has never farmed lamas!) Dogs are such wonderful creatures! Imagine having a nose 1000 times better than...

My rant today is small print on labels. How many of you have tried to read the labels when buying a food product? The ingredents by law must be not smaller then they are, but the manufacture, and in the case of food items...

barehugs Peaches seem to grow in many countries. We have wild plums in Canada, but no wild peaches. My Dad tried to grow peaches on our place just north of Lake Ontario. The tree grew quickly and had a few peaches, then a cold winter killed the tree. However Peaches do...

I grew up on a farm before there was electricity and everything was done by hand, even milking the cows. Milking time was 6am, and 6 pm, and everyone helped. We all had cows (we called them our cows) that we milked. To milk a cow...

barehugs We had 15 cows to milk by hand, so everyone was there to help. Some cows are harder to get the milk from, so Dad milked those. Some cows wouldn't stand still, so I had them. If the cow milked easy, and stood still, Mom milked her. The cow soon got to know her...

barehugs Actually it is the American Motel that has turned us off. Since we began to rent rooms in them in 2002 they have grown steadily worse. It appears that the motel chains encourage Asians to own and (or) operate them. We were always worried about bedbugs,...

barehugs Most people travel by car, which explains why its a many, many, times more dangerous traveling on the road than in the air. I can hardly wait to get back to Canada to see my Great Granddaughter again.

barehugs My Farm is just a day's drive south of Sudbury in Ont, but we have never been. Instead we go south for the winter. We farm honeybees, and they survive in the hive, eating honey to keep warm. Down here in Texas the bees will fly in the winter but must be fed to...
