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.
Its cute and they have some fun apps, like putting your dogs picture in one of their cars. Makes it look like they are doing some off road driving! Go check it out its a blast, Subaru Facebook

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

When preparing for a trip, it is important that you also consider your pet. Doing so will
Beagle in profile (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
make the
trip more enjoyable for the entire family, as everyone will have a peace of mind knowing that
everything is taken care of. In order to make the process less stressful, there are 8 tips you can
follow to assure you properly prepare for traveling with your dog.
1. Take Your Dog to the Vet.
It is very important to have your dog examined by a veterinarian before going on a car trip. Health
conditions that can make traveling for your pet dangerous can be detected during the exam. You
can also take advantage of this time to get a health certificate. This is typically only necessary if
you’re going to another country, or to Hawaii. In addition to assuring your pet is healthy, getting
your dog up to date on vaccines, heartworm preventative, and flea and tick control is also advised.
2. Create a List of Veterinary Hospitals
Making a list of all the veterinary hospitals that are located throughout your trip can be tedious,
but it is crucial. If any emergency was to arise, you’d have the information necessary to contact
the nearest veterinary hospital. Write the address and phone number of each hospital down, and
also print out a map of how to get there.
*Be sure to include hospitals that are open 24 hours a day.
3. Prepare an Emergency Kit and Pack Medications
A basic emergency kit for your dog should include; medical records, gauze, bandages, Neosporin
(triple antibiotic), and a cleaning solution for wounds. Also, if your dog gets car sick or overly
stressed while traveling, ask your veterinarian if giving your pet medication is an option. Lastly,
include any medication your dog may be taking in the emergency kit so you know where to find it.
4. Obtain Proper Pet Identification
Whether to get a dog microchipped or not, is often a debatable topic. It can be a tough decision
to make, but it can potentially save your dog’s life. Tags and collars with text integrated on
them are also helpful, but they can get easily damaged. Even if your pet is microchipped, it is
recommended that you place an ID tag on your dog. This is so that even those that are unfamiliar
with microchips will be able to contact you if your pet is lost.
5. Purchase a Crate or Seat Belt
While traveling in a car, dogs should always wear a seat belt or be placed in a crate. If an accident
was to occur, or even if the car had to come to a sudden stop, these devices would help protect
your pet from getting injured.
6. Pack Essential Items
When packing for your dog make sure to include; water, dog food, bowls, bed, blanket, potty pads
(in case your dog vomits or has an accident) and a pooper scooper. Although these are obvious
items, it is easy to forget to pack them when you are in a rush.
7. Take Breaks
Many people are in such a rush to get to their destination that they forget to take sufficient
brakes. Making your dog wait to go potty or urinate is not healthy; in fact, your dog can develop
a urinary tract infection as a consequence. Even if your dog does not have the urge to go, it is
important that he is able to stretch. Going long periods without taking a break can lead to stress
and anxiety in your dog.
8. Never Leave Your Dog Alone
Although it may appear safe to leave your dog alone for just a few minutes, there are several
factors that put your dog at risk. Besides getting loose, your dog can also get into other mischief.
This includes; eating poisonous foods/plants, getting stolen, being hit by a car, and getting lost.
Including pet friendly hotels, restaurants, and parks in your plans can help prevent these incidents
from occurring.

Found this in the Daily Mail and had to share this with you guys.
Rescue workers had to dig a 16 foot hole to get to a 4 week old puppy stuck in a drain pipe in Detroit Michigan.
The puppy got stuck after crawling into a basement drain pipe. He crawled 15 feet down the pipe and got stuck and couldn’t come back out.
The dog’s owner, who didn’t want to be named, said that you could hear the puppy whimpering the whole time workers dug the hole.
‘It was crying and I was crying all night,’ she told local station WXYZ. ‘I felt so bad.’
So a team of rescue workers used a back hoe to dig a 16 foot hole to get to down to the pipe and dismantle it piece by piece until they got to the puppy.
Aaron Baughey, who owned the digger used in the rescue, told the station: ‘I couldn’t go home tonight if we’d left that little dog in there. My wouldn’t let me come home.’
After more than 12 hours underground, the puppy was finally freed when workers managed to cut a hole in the three-inch cast-iron pipe that connects a storm drain line beneath the house.
After all that time under ground he was in good shape. He was just a little cold and dehydrated. He was soon reunited with his mother.
It warms my heart that people can feel so much compassion for a doggy come together and do what ever it takes to save a puppy even if that means a huge inconvenience of property damage man hours and other resources to save it.
Our beagle use to bark alot when we would go out.
It was tough trying to get him to quiet down.
We tried a few things like a different routine
and a quiet command.
Nothing really helped us. I stumbled on this article on
the HumanSociety.com. The following are some good
techniques to stop barking.
Keep these tips in mind while training:
Don’t yell at your dog to be quiet—it just sounds like you’re barking along with him.
Keep your training sessions positive and upbeat.
Be consistent so you don’t confuse your dog. Everyone in your family must apply the training methods every time your dog barks inappropriately. You can’t let your dog get away with inappropriate barking some times and not others.
Here are some common situations that make dogs bark with solutions specific to each:
Here are some common situations that make dogs bark with solutions specific to each:
Barking at passersby: Remove the motivation
Barking when confined: Ignore the barking
Barking at other dogs: Desensitization and counter conditioning
Barking at intruders at the door: Teach your dog the “quiet” command or ask your dog for an incompatible behavior
Other suggestions
Remove the motivation
Your dog gets some kind of reward when he barks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do it. Figure out what he gets out of barking and remove it. Don’t give your dog the opportunity to continue the barking behavior.
Example: Barking at passersby
If he barks at people or animals passing by the living room window, manage his behavior by closing the curtains or putting your dog in another room. If he barks at passersby when he’s in the yard, bring him into the house to manage the situation. Never leave your dog outside unsupervised all day and night.
