It takes 30 to 31 days from the beginning of the constellation to visibility as a whole, hence the term “Days of the Big Dog”.

Like grabbing a pack, ripping it open and eating the treats. (more…)

Puppies are small creatures that need our protection

Especially when a puppy just moves in, he’s usually still shy. Everything is foreign. Anyone who has ever moved knows this. Many puppies are torn from their familiar homes at just a few weeks old and placed in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Otherwise, this can affect the future relationship and the dog’s sense of security.
