Halloween

Ghosts, goblins, dress-up and candy. Halloween sure is fun for humans. But is it fun for your dog? It certainly can be for well adjusted, confident dogs that go with the flow. For other dogs the constant ring of the doorbell and strangers can be a source of stress.  There are also added hazards that can attract your dog such as candy, candy wrappers, decorations and costumes. It’s important to keep your dog from getting into them as they can be potentially dangerous.


Dressing up your dog for Halloween

Let’s not kid ourselves, dressing up a dog for Halloween is really for our enjoyment, not theirs. They don’t care either way, nor do they understand anything about it. Granted there many dogs that would be just fine wearing a Tutu and revelling in all the attention and excitement. But never push an anxious or stressed dog to wear a costume. If your dog isn’t used to wearing a coat, she might feel uncomfortable having a costume put on her. If she seems ok and willing and you really want to dress her up, make sure the costume is safe and comfortable. Do not cover her eyes, ears or tail. And ensure the costume is not interfering with her ability to move freely and is well ventilated.

Trick or Treat

You get to know what situations make your dog anxious or nervous. If you act accordingly, you and your dog will get through Halloween without being spooked.

When you are handing out candy, consider the following:

  • take an extra long walk before the festivities begin
  • answer the door before the bell rings
  • keep her on leash when answering the door
  • keep the candy well out of reach
  • put her in a room (or her crate) with her favourite toy or blanket and play soft music


If you take your dog along for trick-or-treating, here are some tips to keep her safe:
  • keep her on leash at all times no matter how trained she is
  • make sure she is visible to kids, other adults and cars
  • keep her on the opposite side of traffic at all times
  • pay attention to what is attracting her attention, there could be candy or wrappers on the ground
  • don’t allow her to lick any kids hands

It's understandable that if you are taking kids out trick-or-treating, their safety should be your priority. So if you cannot pay the proper amount of attention to your dog then it’s best to leave her at home for this walk. You can make it up to her tomorrow.

Have a safe and happy Halloween.

DOGTV

Do you ever have the impression that your dog is watching TV with you? Well look out, you may have to start sharing the remote with your furry friend too.

The reality is that most dogs are left alone while their families are at work or out shopping, seeing friends, attending events, etc. It’s not ideal in a dog’s world to be away from their pack. And so an idea was born. DOGTV is the first 24/7 network just for dogs. It’s a new digital TV channel that has been scientifically designed to keep your dog company while you are away. Years of research with top animal experts has gone into the programming. It takes into consideration your dog’s senses and behavioral patterns.

There are three types of programming for your dog:

Relaxation – your dog will relax to the soothing music, sounds and visuals.

Stimulation – active camera movements, exciting animations and sounds and frequencies will help encourage your dog’s playful side.

Exposure – designed to help your dog deal with everyday stimuli with special sights and sounds.

DOGTV is currently available in San Diego at COX ON DEMAND, Channel 1, FreeZone. Or you can get in online through the streaming service at www.dogtv.com/online and through Roku boxes.

If you want to know when the channel will be available in your area, subscribe to the mailing list.

Stay tuned!

Saying goodbye to Mika



Seven years ago my husband and I adopted a beautiful 8 year old Shepherd/Collie mix.
Her name was Mika.  I knew I would be changing her life, but I had no idea how much she would change mine.
 
This is a tribute to Mika.
 
 
 
Two days after we adopted Mika, we took her on a camping trip. Imagine being in a cage one day and then two days later out in nature with a new family. She was so happy.
 
 
 
 
 

Life went on getting to know her and love her more and more.  She always wanted to be everywhere I was. At first I found that a little overwhelming but once I got used to it, it was very comforting and made me feel pretty special.
 
Because of Mika, we started walking and hiking more. We learned to appreciate nature. I started every day walking with her. I wouldn't trade those times for anything.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
More vacations followed....everywhere we went everyone was always wanted to see and pet her. Mika visited some very beautiful places and was always a joy to have around.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When Mika was 12 years old we thought it was time to get her a buddy. We adopted an 8 year old Belgian Shepherd mix named Bear. We couldn't have chosen a better brother.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Bear also proved to be quite a good travel companion. Now you can imagine how much attention we got with these two amazing dogs!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


When Mika turned 14 years old she really started slowing down. She didn't go on as many walks and she started keeping to herself. Things that used to be easy where now a struggle. She appeared to be near the end. It was hard watching her age but she always remained sweet as ever.
 
We decided to adopt a puppy at that time, thinking she could learn from the two seniors before Mika passed. We adopted a 6 month old Husky/Samoyed mix and named her Judique.

It turned out to be quite a challenge to manage three dogs but I'm so glad I took that challenge. After several months we had a great pack.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Almost a whole year after we adotped the puppy, it was time to say goodbye to our beloved Mika. Her health issues were getting worse, she struggled to get up and walk and she barely ate.
 
We decided to have our vet come to our house so she would be in a familiar place surrounded by her whole pack. She passed peacefully in my arms.
 
Such a sweet and beautiful girl. So many wonderful memories.
 
 
***********************************************************

We will never forget you and will always love you Mika.
You will be forever in our hearts and with us always in spirit.
