Candy beagle to the max

Candy beagle to the max

My beagle Candy isn’t just a pet,
she is part of my family. She has a big job to do,
like comforting my son during a loud thunder storm.
When he gets scared, she sits on his lap, licks him
and stays right by his side.

She comforts us in bad days. We look forward to playing with her,
and going for walks. Early in the morning
she is the first one to wake us all up and greet us,
with her tail wagging. Her job is to wake us up,
alert us to strangers, and so much more. Naturally she
loves to help out with many things. She loves giving us a
nice beagle song , for grocery day. Her favorite past time
is chasing butterflies with my son, and playing ball.

Since Candy is a huge part of our family, I pay close attention
dog ad campaigns. I enjoy watching these ads geared towards
dogs and their owners.

Check out this fun teaser ad :On the Lot  Grant Webber really understands a dog’s needs.

Really cute!

This one is my favorite,Check out this one! Grant Webber goes for a test drive

The ads are really fun, and I  enjoy watching this one especially. It looks like they had
some fun putting these together.

Subaru is really reaching out, to dog people. Why not, there’s the Target Dog,
and Bushes Baked Beans with the dog, who gives away the secret!

For fun we went to the
Subaru Facebook Page, and got Candy a dog drivers license.

Studies indicate that children’s health is boosted by having pets

Posted on by
Reply

Recent studies show that          
children who grow up with
pets have fewer health problems.
A child at infancy raised around
a dog will have a more mature
immune system.

I know that dogs in general are
great companions. Having them come
around in hospitals as therapy dogs,
helps the patients with moral and
the healing process.

They are using dogs in courthouses,
to help ease a tension and anxiety
when a witness testifies before the
court. Seeing a familiar dog with
a warm and friendly temperament puts
a witness at ease before they have
to testify. Its very helpful for kids.

These studies are showing the health benefits for children.
Having a dog may stave off disease for toddlers. They maybe
less likely to get ear infections.

http://www.annarbor.com Reports :

In fact, kids in this demographic were 30 percent less likely to experience coughs, ear infections and symptoms such as stuffiness, runny nose, sneezing and congestion.
Those born in homes with canines were 44 percent less likely to develop ear infections, something that is so common in children.

Details

I think having pets does help children learn empathy. The daily care for a pet, does teach kids
nurturing skills. As a kid I loved having a dog. My parents had me take our puppy to puppy training
class and dog obedience training when our dog got older.

In between school, I learned to make time, to walk our dog, training,
grooming, and nutrition. My dog had epilepsy, so I learned about seizures
and what to do when my dog had one.

Its important that you get the right pet for your family. I do believe
that having a dog and pets in general does make children happier. They always
have someone to talk to. When they come home from school there is always a
friendly dog to greet them.

Even if your having a bad day. Your beagle is always glad
to see you. I think that’s really important for a kids. You can
tell your beagle all about your day, as you scratch behind their
ears.

Dog Saves Owner From House Fire

Rusty - Shih Tsu

Early Wednesday morning Twila Schwab
tried to get her dog Buster to stop
barking.Buster, a five-year-old Maltese and Shih Tzu mix
wouldn’t let Twila sleep, he just kept barking
and trying to wake her up.

An electrical fire broke out in the house. Buster
kept barking and alerted her to the fire. The fire
took her home of nine years, but her dog saved her
life. She is unharmed due to his persistent
barking.

Kait8.com Reports

Schwab went to sleep early last Tuesday evening. A few hours later, she thought Buster needed to go outside when he woke her a little after midnight.

“I kept telling him, no, lie down, go to sleep,” Schwab said. “He was pawing at me, jumping on my chest, barking, licking my face. He finally got me awake, and when I woke up, all I saw was smoke.”

Details here

Buster is a true hero. Our dogs have a sense
about these things and let us know. My beagle Hunter
barked and howled when my dad laid down.

He had never done this before. My dad had
become very sick. Our beagle let us know.
We got my dad to the doctor. He was ok.

My dad is no longer with us. Hunter became
his friend, because he looked out for our family.
we use to call him our little nurse.

Thank goodness Buster was persistent. His owner Twila
got out of the house, in enough time to not be
seriously injured. She came out unharmed. That’s
a really good dog.

Camping and Hiking with your Beagle Safety Tips

Posted on by
Reply

English: Dinas camping Tent near stream at Din...

Find out what the rules are at the
campground for your beagle. Take a
first aid kit with you always.

Make yourself familiar with the wildlife
in the area where you are camping and going
to hike.

In addition keep your dog on a leash. These
are new surroundings, and your beagle could get
lost. Make sure to bring a recent photo of your
dog in case he gets lost.

Pack extra medications, food and water
in case you have car trouble. Never leave
your beagle tied up at the campsite alone.

My friends had their beagles stolen doing this. Not to mention
other things can happen, like altercations with other dogs. So take
your beagle with you. Always take your cell phone with
you in case you need to call for help.

If your beagle is use to carrying a backpack, get one
and pack some water bottles, and collapsible water bowls
for you and your beagle. Its a good idea to wear reflective
clothing, and reflective gear for your beagle.

In addition GOPetFriendly suggests these
safety tips for hiking :

  • Avoid surprising animals by making noise and staying aware – especially on sections of trail with limited sight lines.
  • Don’t wear headphones. Instead, tune into your surroundings so you can hear approaching animals.
  • Don’t jog on the trails known for animal encounters – it stimulates a predator’s instinct to chase and attack.
  • Be sure someone knows where you’re going and when you plan to be back.

Animal Planet – Take your pet camping

Have your beagle sleep in the tent with you. Mostly have some fun.
Beagles love to camp too ! if you see Underdog flying past you
give him a big beagle shout out.

Beagle the Lord. Kingdom of Fancy Dogs by Maria Pishvanova

Beagle The Lord Painting Animal Century.com

Beagle The Lord
Painting by Animal Century.com

Beagle in beautiful clothes you see on the
portrait,is more than just a character from a painting.
He is a noble dog from the magical kingdom of fancy animals!

There, dogs of all breeds celebrate their
individuality, being fashionable and artistic.
For this guest blog, we asked beagle to write about this kingdom
and tell the story of how Happy Art was born.

Maria, Julia and Anna
Artists of Animal Century

Hello, dear readers of BeagleDaily! My name is Lord Beagle. I am honored to write this
guest blog, and acquaint you with Animal Century Kingdom. This is a land of fancy animals,
where live dogs of all breeds – residents of the kingdom.
They wear stylish clothing, and lead joyful lifestyle.
You may ask, where Animal Century is situated? Well, it is not on the other planet.
And it is not imaginary. Our land was founded by artists…

Everything began in 1989, when the artist Maria Pishvanova painted kitten in a boot.
The painting looked incredible! Maria was so happy with the result, so she decided
to paint more artworks, depicting animals and fashion. The artist started
to design beautiful clothing and accessories for characters from paintings.

The first animals in clothes and also residents of
Animal Century were a pretty couple – hedgehog and cat in wedding clothes.
The story behind this painting is very romantic. A friend of Maria fell in love
with the most wonderful girl in the world. He asked the artist to paint something,
that will be a great gift for her. Hedgehog and cat turned out to be magical painting!
Boy and girl married shortly after this artwork was done.

It was the very nice surprise for Maria. She understood that her
art helps people to be happy. Everyone smiled while looking at portraits of animals in clothes.
That is how our land of Happy Art was founded – with creativity and great love.
We, residents of Animal Century, are always ready to make your day!

As time went by, more and more beautiful portraits were being created. Maria’s daughter Julia joined her,
and they continued painting together. Our kingdom grew, you
could already meet many dog breeds, walking on the magical streets.
As you know, each dog belongs to a group, which includes breeds, similar to each other.
That is why Animal Century was divided into counties. Counties for toy dogs, gundogs, shepherds…
I live in the Hound County, together with bloodhounds, harriers, borzois and other great dogs.
I would be happy to welcome beagles at my home!
Feel free to visit me in Scenthound city, when traveling around Animal Century.

Art is very important to all of us.
We love to visit museums, and watch there masterpieces of dog art.
Luckily, there are many galleries and other art spaces in our Kingdom.
For example, the Royal Gallery – there are exhibited paintings with residents of Animal Century.
My portrait hangs in the section of Royal Dogs – together with portraits
of Corgi the Queen and other noble dogs. I am honored to be accompanied by them!

Our artists carry on doing more portraits of dog breeds.
Maria and her daughters – Julia and Anna – reside in Palace of Animal Century,
and invite our residents for portraying. Julia helps with painting,
Anna manages online kingdom at AnimalCentury.com

I would also like to mention other residents from Palace.
Prince Romeo the Chihuahua and the Cat Queen are Ambassadors of Happy Art.
Their mission is to acquaint people and animals with our land.

So, when I wrote this blog, that was my mission, too.
I hope you liked my story, and are interested in visiting the kingdom.
We are working hard on making Animal Century the more exciting and magical place to visit!

Animal Century is the portrait collection of dogs, cats and other animals.

Artists Maria Julia and Anna from Animal Century.com

The artist Maria Pishvanova started it in 1989. Since then, she portrays animals in natural look,
giving them unique image. Over 200 paintings have been done,
and Maria carries on portraying more incredible characters.
With the help of her daughters she creates impressive art collection.
Artist uses all her skills to make outstanding paintings, that depict animals in all their beauty.

Vet Help: How to Reduce allergies in your Beagle

Posted on by
Reply

Our beagle Hunter use to have
trouble with allergies during the
summer. I never thought that
dogs would have allergies, but
our dog would get them often.

Dr Dr. Patrick Tate, chief of the veterinary staff

English: veterinarian on service

English: veterinarian on service (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

and a general practitioner at Webster Groves Animal Hospital
answered a question from a reader this week about allergies.

Webstergroves Reports

- Bathe your pet frequently with a good pet shampoo that supports healthy skin. If a dog’s skin is dry or irritated there is more sloughing of dead skin cells (dander). I often recommend Allergroom and Epi-Soothe by Virbac Animal Health people have found special “allergen neutralizing” shampoos like Allersearch Pet Shampoo to be helpful. Do not use human shampoos or conditioners on pets – they are usually too acidic and contain irritating additives.

 

- Brush your pet frequently to remove loose dander and hair that hold allergens. Always do the brushing outside and wear a face mask. If you are allergic. Furminator deshedding tools and products are invaluable aids and well-worth the price.

 

To help reduce allergens in your house:

 

- Designate some pet-free rooms – especially the bedroom. As much as you may love to sleep with your pet, if you have pet allergies it can be especially harmful to breathe allergen-filled dander during the night.

 

- Designate some pet-free furniture – or cover couches, chairs, and beds with “throws” that can be easily washed. Use a special laundry detergent like Allersearch Anti-Allergen Wash that is designed to destroy most allergens. Leather or vinyl furniture is easier to keep allergen-free.

Details on more allergy prevention for your pet

Some suggestions, I couldn’t do such as special clothing
that you only wear when you play with your beagle. While we
do designate some dog free areas, its not easy because our
female beagle is a big part of our family.

When we brush our dog we do it outside. This way the
dog hair isn’t in the house. The does cut down on the dander.
You do need to be careful using certain pet carpet fresheners,
as they can irritate your beagle’s skin.
