Crazy Dog!




Dogs, cattle and sheep sometimes exhibit this interesting behaviour on cool summer evenings (and cold winter evenings) when it is calm and the sun is going down --- or more often, just after the sun has gone down.

Child and Dog Play Ball


Playing is a good bonding time for dogs and children. Being included in the fun and games makes for a happy dog who is safer around children than a dog who has been excluded from family activities. That doesn't mean there might not be minor scratches, bumps or bruises in the rough-and-tumble of play.

Dog and Baby Get Reaquainted


When the newest member of our extended family comes home for a visit, Happy Harry the Dog (and Grandpa and Grandma) get reacquainted.

Making sure the dog is included as a part of the family is an important step in keeping everyone safe. A resentful, disgruntled dog who is excluded from the family is much more likely to pose a threat to unsuspecting children.
