Here’s Doggie Poem #9:

Freedom is Lucky running in the wind It looks really wild and undisciplined Lounging around, like Ginger on the couch Especially when she’s not being a grouch Smaller dogs sleeping for most of the day Quite relaxing to watch them, in a way Unscheduled feeding, they eat when they need Or Crystal hyped up, it goes with the breed There’s never a dull day with dogs around A part of why this is paradise found |

Home Parvo treatment for your dog is a realistic option, compared to the traditional approach of having your dog treated at the animal hospital, even though many people will tell you that this is foolish.
If you’re not convinced, then here are a few facts to consider to help you make up your mind.
Cost
If you have your Parvo dog treated at the vet’s, it will probably cost you anywhere from Continue Reading »

If you purchase Parvaid, together with other products like Life Cell Immune Support, Doggie Pain Relief (aka Pet’s Pain Formula) and Vibactra Plus, then you’re buying a chance for your doggie to survive the often deadly Canine Parvovirus.
Parvaid, and all our other products, are 100% natural, containing herbs that are completely human-grade. There are no chemicals and no synthetics, which means that they are completely safe, with no side-effects, which is not the case with the prescription drugs and meds that your vet will try to administer to your dog.
We appreciate that you may be skeptical about the success rate of herbal products such as Parvaid, so let’s talk numbers for a moment.

Parvo (more formally known as Canine Parvovirus) is devastating, not only emotionally (words cannot describe how it feels to see your beloved dog healthy one moment, and incredibly sick the next, with vomit and blood-filled, foul-smelling diarrhea everywhere), but also financially.
As soon as you notice your dog isn’t well, the vet’s costs that are typically associated with Parvo treatment just keep adding up (and up).
To start with, you’ll probably need to pay Continue Reading »

80% of dogs that are infected by the older 2a and 2b strains of Canine Parvo virus that are untreated die in four or five days.
With the current 2c strain, even fully-vaccinated dogs, including both puppies and adults, are being infected by and dying from the Parvo virus.
For reasons nobody yet understands, some breeds, such as Continue Reading »

Here’s Doggie Poem #8:

Bye bye back yard is called many times each day Every hour or two, it always seems that way Doggies going outside to do their business Dashing around and barking with lustiness It’s fun to watch them, when the weather is fine Not such good fun, though, when the sun doesn’t shine Glad, in that case, when they come back inside fast Perhaps it’s the lure of their snacky repast As they run back indoors, each at their own speed Ginger’s the quickest, it’s more like a stampede Ever looking for seconds, so hopefully Such pleasure from having a great family |

Dogs will be dogs no matter what Untroubled by things they’ve not got Values, politics, and egos Experts at sniffing with their nose Things they might be able to eat Sugary snacks and, of course, meat How they love their chicken and beef Utterly mad, beyond belief Not liking dogs is a taboo To me, I love them, just like you |

Running round and round the back yard Each day with complete disregard Caring not for mundane matters It’s clear they’re all mad as hatters Playing, chasing and barking too Ever wanting something to chew Snacks and bones and even what’s ours And then they rest, for hours and hours Drained by all of their exertions Dreams of doggy fascinations Expeditions to hunt rabbit Dogs will be dogs – that’s their habit |

I have been doing some research about dog death and how it effect’s their owners, because I am still so sad about my dog Magnum’s death. As well, my other dog Sonny, who was Magnum’s son, is depressed and all of a sudden he is having trouble getting up.
What I have found out is that we are perfectly normal in loving our dog who was our best friend for so long. My dog was here for 14 1/2 years. My other dog Sonny has never been alone. Where ever Magnum was, there was Sonny. Sonny was always resting his head on Magnum’s butt. The three of us have been quite a team for quite some time.
I am actually surprised by the depth of the loss that I feel. I know that my friends and family really don’t understand how much I still miss my dog. Some people actually say to me “he was only a dog”. I am totally offended by this, as my Magnum was my best friend. How can anyone say that about my dog. I feel the same amount of grief, or maybe even more, that I would feel if a relative or friend had died.
It is important to me to find wherever possible, all the support and compassion that I can find to feel like I am being comforted. I have found for me that I have a few friends that I can call on. They have had or do have pets. I have had great support from my minister ( who suggested to me to have a funeral for Magnum). I have also found support in some of the dog forums as well.
The most important point I would like to stress to anyone who has another animal, is to support the dog that remains. They are going through their own grief. I wish that Sonny could talk, but as he can’t I hope that he knows, and I am trying to show him how much I love him and care about him.

Laughing daily at our doggies As life now has no worries They play without any care Easy for them because their Canine lifestyle costs them nought As they give money no thought Resting for most of the day Doggies have it their own way |
