As I was checking the different posts on Facebook, I got to like a very interesting and touching post shared by one of my friends. I did not realize until now that the post has been around on the web, shared by many especially people who cares so much about dogs. And again I would like to repeat what others have been doing, re post it, for others to give it a thought and feel what this child had said and believed.<br />
<br />
It tells the goodness of an animal and how we humans can relate, learn and follow. <br />

Teaching <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.break.com/topics/dog-tricks" rel="break" target="_blank" title="Dog Tricks">dog tricks</a> is a fun way of creating a solid bond with your canine companion and the best way to truly communicate with your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Dog">dogs</a>. Teaching and performing dog tricks does not only create happy, confident dogs but it is also an excellent exercise to stimulate and enhance their physical and mental abilities. A very good way for calming high energy dogs. Channeling your dog's energy into something constructive and fun like trick training will reduce unwanted behaviors brought by stress, boredom, and frustrations. Dog tricks can alter an undesirable behavior such as jumping up on guests and instead redirecting it to a dog that sits behavely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Performing a dog trick in front of people, especially those who are nervous around dogs helps to ease their fear and makes it less threatening to them. I've experienced people so afraid to pass our house everytime they see my dogs, but one time after seeing my dogs perform some tricks, they came over without hesitation and requested to see more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few months ago I introduced our adorable <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.dogster.com/dog-breeds/Shih_Tzu" rel="dogstercom" target="_blank" title="Shih Tzu">Shih Tzu</a> puppy named KORBEL, and now here she is again with some new tricks plus another short video wherein Korbel plays the role of a witness on stand.</div>

This deprives the dog to learn proper social skills with other animals and people. Of course, we <i>do </i>need to protect them. Whenever dogs are off lead, we should supervise them closely. For safety, small dogs can be kept on a loose lead and be picked up only when necessary. </span></span></div><div class="Pa2" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

What more can I say, maybe add amazingly smart because she's only 7 weeks old and she can do tricks just like a pro. They say Shih Tzu's kinda hard to train, so I wanted to find out if its true. Well, here's the outcome of the 4 days training of the so little and young Korbel.<br />

My dad loves my dogs so much because he finds my pets very amusing. Sad to say he missed to see the most submissive and affectionate dog I brought in his home. Surprisingly, this dog who came out of nowhere, skittish, skinny, wounded, and infested with fleas, obviously showing all the signs of neglect, appeared to be a very kind, obedient dog.<br />
<br />
I will never forget the morning walk with my two dogs when suddenly this awful looking pooch came to follow us, he was so persistent in spite the many times I tried to drive him away. The dog was acting like he have known me for years, he's just there trying to get my attention, he continued to follow us till we got back home. I ignored the dog and thought that he would give up and simply go away, but I was wrong. The dog stayed and slept near our gate till the next day, so I thought of asking people from the neighborhood if they knew the owner of the stray dog, unfortunately no one claims. I was saddened to realize that the poor dog has really no home and obviously hungry and begging for food. And so I took and feed him, named him PACMAN and that started the beginning of a loyal and good friendship that was really meant to be. I was thankful that I found him because he can easily be a victim of an unfriendly & cruel environment.<br />
<br />
Besides being submissive and loving, Pacman is a smart canine. It didn't took a while for him to learn the basics of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obedience_training" rel="wikipedia" title="Obedience training">obedience training</a>. All he asks is praise and a loving touch to his face every time he follows a command, gestures that he was certainly deprived of.<br />
<br />

<br />
The most important thing that Pacman does besides being a pet & watchdog is a consoling and affectionate loyal companion to my widowed mother. Every morning Pacman will bunt & sit next to my mom's lap keeping her company.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Cute dogs - you cannot resist their charm. I am talking about dogs doing therapy work here. What they do is to give comfort and provide a very calming presence to those people that are admitted in the hospital, nursing homes, and other stressful situations. They do not really have to have a specific type of breed in order to become a therapy worker as long as they are sociable enough to be around people all the time and they have to be obedient. Usually smaller dogs work well in most of these situations. They are usually very cute and if you are going to toss in some things like accessories that would make them cuter, all the better.</div><b><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Many movies have portrayed it and heck, you can even see it sometimes as you walk down the street. Dogs do service and assistant work especially to disabled individuals. These are <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_dog" rel="wikipedia" title="Guide dog">guide dogs</a>, hearing dogs, mobility assistance, autism dogs, psychiatric service, and mobility assistance. Humans should be really thankful for these dogs as they are making our lives easier to deal with.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies are the most common dog breeds that make a good sled dogs. Even until now, dog sleds are being used to travel through terrains that are impossible to pass. Back in the day they were used to go through terrains during the first expeditions to the north and south poles. Now, apart from letting people travel, they also travel to deliver medications and supplies to towns that are very isolated and hard to reach.</div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Search and Rescue</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Dogs that are able to participate in search and rescue operations make the lives of the investigators much easier. Dogs have more powerful scenting abilities and that is why they are more able to detect the scent of missing individuals - either dead or alive. They do this in dangerous weather, through the wilderness and even underwater. </div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">And the last of these 5 amazing jobs dogs do is herding. This is very common to people who are living in the countryside especially in Europe. Dogs help in leading a number of kinds of livestock like sheep, fowls, and cattle among others. The most common <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herding_dog" rel="wikipedia" title="Herding dog">herding dogs</a> are Australian Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, and Kelpies.</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Dogs have been a companion to people for a very long time and it is easy to see why. They do so much to improve the quality of life for us and they ask for little in return. It is no wonder that we spoil them like we do. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It's a fact that most of us have to live and get along with the busy world spending a lot of time away from home, unfortunately our pets find it difficult to adjust. <br />
<br />
There are dogs that easily get bored, stressed, and suffers from separation anxiety, while others seem content sleeping the rest of the day while you're away. <br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But how do you know if your dog is unhappy when left alone? <br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Here are tips, if you come home and found your furniture or things all chewed up, trash bin ransacked, pillows chewed to shreds, scratches on doors and walls, signs of dog urine and feces all over, and worst of all got an angry call from your neighbors telling you that your dog howl or barks all day, well, these are just the few annoying things that say your dog is having a bad day being alone. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> If your dog becomes destructive because of boredom, anxiety, depression</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> or</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> simply because he is alone and you're away, the best thing you can do is to keep him positively busy by giving your pet dog plethora of fun things to do. Doing so will help your dog to become more relaxed and satisfied .

It is one of the most upsetting and heartbreaking news I've read and seen. This is a very cruel and heartless thing for a dog that the owner had done. Honestly, there are a lot of disgusting and bad dog owners around. A person who treats animals this way are just the kind of people who does not respect life and nature, and has no compassion. It's easy to imagine how bad the personality of these humans or should I say monsters.</div><br />

<h1><a href="http://dogmagazine.posterous.com/justice-for-jack-warning-very-upsetting-story">Justice For Jack - Warning VERY Upsetting Story</a></h1><div class="editbox"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">‘Justice for Jack’ A facebook group entitled 'Justice for Jack' was started by a group of animal lovers in memory of a young dog who was named 'Jack' by staff at Whitehall Dog Rescue in Wakefield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Jack was left outside the gates of Whitehall Rescue sometime between the hours of 12am and 5am on Friday 17th September and it is thought he died during that time, having been left alone wrapped in a blanket, writes <a href="http://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/celebrity.asp">Maria Daines</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jack's extremely emaciated condition has shocked animal lovers, dog owners and indeed the general public world wide and it is quite obvious from the distressing photographs of the dog, taken after this death, that Jack had not eaten for weeks, maybe months. Now campaigners are demanding justice and in raising awareness of Jack’s story the facebook group has grown to over 20,000 members at time of writing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Brian Wheelhouse, founder of Whitehall Dog Rescue, shared the heartbreaking story of Jack on his website and he has since been interviewed on BBC Radio Leeds. Media coverage is increasing slowly but of course in cases such as this, the faster bad news travels the sooner questions will be answered and animal advocates are hoping their campaign will help to prevent other animals from being neglected in a similar way. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A petition dedicated to Jack, calling for harsher sentences for animal abusers has risen to almost 5000 signatures. The campaign has been highlighted by a song entitled 'God Bless Jack' written and performed by UK singer/songwriter Maria Daines. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maria and thousands of others are now wondering if a breakthrough can be made in Jack's memory which could help to protect other animals at risk of cruelty or neglect.

This is my second minpin to undergo training, and since I had a good training experience with a Minpin before, I thought it's going to be easy but it seemed I underestimated Vixen, obviously she was far different from <a href="http://pawsandbones.blogspot.com/2010/06/its-been-long-while-since-my-last-post.html">Tyson</a>. It's not always true that same breed shares the same temperament or attitude. In some aspects it can be agreeable though it's not always the case and should not be followed as a basis especially in training, since it may require a different approach. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can't say that training Vixen was difficult but I would truly say it was quite challenging. Although it took more than a while for her to learn the basic sit, still she made it happen and proved to me that she can be as good as any other trained dog.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

So does it mean I’m kind because I love dogs? Hahaha, well I’ll let my friends answer that. But seriously, I can say that owning and training dogs makes me a better person. Many people thought that teaching or training dogs is very difficult; imagine communicating to an animal that obviously does not understand human language and then telling that animal to behave or do things that is socially acceptable and human in nature, this may not sound easy and very challenging but not impossible as long as your kind, patient and willing to understand and accept their needs as animals. Remember that any animal pet such as dogs did not choose to live with us humans and yet we require and insist them to adjust to our human lifestyle & environment. And the sad and cruel part is people would cage them, put them on chains, send them to shelters or worst of all put them to sleep, if they fail to behave right or simply follow the human house rules.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
This is exactly the case of a 2yr old mixed breed dog owned by a kid who used to love and play with his dog when it was still a puppy. I was shocked and sadden to find out that dog was put to sleep simply because of his biting behavior. I got a chance to interact with this dog when it was still 6 months old and I admit that the canine somehow shows disrespect by suddenly snapping and biting but it didn’t took a while for the creature to understand that his conduct was unacceptable, so I was able to correct it immediately. Then I found out what and who causes the behavior, it was the kid and the rest of his companions, sad to say his family who made their pet behave aggressively, they hit and hurt the dog every time it commits a mistake, and sometimes the kid will annoy him just for fun. The dog became aggressively defensive and this behavior has become associated with simply people trying to approach him, thinking that humans can’t be trusted. The poor dog was a victim of mishandling, disrespect, cruelty from ignorant owners. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
I was in anger knowing these things happen, I said to myself, I wish people can be as passionate as I am, become dog trainers and discover that it’s not always the dogs that we teach that gain knowledge from us, but most of life’s lesson learned came from the compassion, respect , patience, loyalty, love from our dogs. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">A positive reinforcement is not just effective for dogs but strongly for humans. If it’s easy for you to interact with your dogs, show goodness as your dog does the same, what more with humans.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
Life is so simple and humans complicate it, a dog’s life is so simple and yet it’s willing to live with us in spite the conflicts of our nature. I taught my dogs so many things, complex tricks that’s really amusing, but it’s nothing compared to what I learned from them. I learned that teaching dogs applies to life. Be kind to people just like with your dog and most likely they’ll be kind to you, Be understanding and patient in teaching your dog as well as with everything you do in life and soon good things will come your way, learn to respect life like you respect your dog and life will respect you. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

As a trainer I always advise my clients and friends to let their dogs get used to a crate. Some of them may oppose to the idea because they thought that a crate is simply a cage keeping or treating their dogs like prisoners. Contrary to their belief, but a crate would do good than harm. A <a href="http://www.wooddogcrate.com/">crate</a> is more like a dwelling place that can just be a fashionable or stylish furniture that makes your dog very comfortable and secure. </div><br />
Here is a very good piece of article that every dog owners should know. Thanks to our friend from <a href="http://www.wooddogcrate.com/">wooddogcrate.com</a> for sharing this very helpful information,<br />
<br />
<b>The Benefits of Crates </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">When you are shopping for your new dog, there are some standard items that must always go on your list. A leash and collar, food and water bowls, and a bag of kibble are essentials, but have you thought about buying your dog a crate? Although you may balk at the cost of a crate, it is worth the expense.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are 5 benefits of crate training that will appeal to all dog owners.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Toilet training is much easier if you use a crate. Your dog will be very reluctant to toilet inside their crate, so will hang on until you take them outside. You can then give them lots of cuddles and rewards for going to the toilet in the right spot.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. You can keep your dog confined when you aren't able to keep an eye on them. This is particularly useful if your dog likes to chew on your shoes!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. If your dog isn't the social type, they will appreciate a quiet safe place to escape when you have a dinner party, or even just when your family is particularly noisy. <a href="http://www.wooddogcrate.com/">Dog crate furniture</a> will allow them to have their own space amongst the family room and not feel overwhelmed. Their crate will become a haven where they can go anytime they need some peace and quiet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Going on vacation? Take your dog's crate with you and they will have a comfortable place to sleep that smells like home. You'll also be able to relax, knowing that they aren't damaging your holiday house while you aren't there to supervise them. If you prefer to spend your vacation in a tent, you will still find a dog crate very handy. Your dog won't get their leash tangled around the tent guy ropes, and they won't knock over your gas stove while you are cooking your dinner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. A dog crate is extremely useful if your dog has had an operation. After they have been neutered, they need to be kept quiet until their sutures are removed. This is easier said than done, because most dogs feel just fine within a day or two of their surgery. If you have a crate, you can force them to rest, and they won't be able to run around too much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. Some dogs just won't sit still in the car. They rush from window to window, and bark in your ear. If you are lucky enough to own such a dog, their behavior is enough to take your attention away from the road. Not only that, but if you turn sharply, you could find your dog in your lap with their head staring out the front windscreen. Keep yourself and your dog safe while you are driving by confining them to their crate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most dog owners will find at least one good reason to buy a crate, but when they bring it home, they will discover several more benefits that make their life easier. Look beyond that price tag and think about how a dog crate could be useful in your own household.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838375820194041307.post-83030663459867957862010-08-04T20:23:00.000-07:002010-08-04T20:30:41.527-07:00Allana & Storm - Our New Dog Buddies<div style="text-align: justify;">It's fun and exciting to meet new dogs especially cute puppies that are so lovely and cuddly, a few weeks ago I got the chance to interact with two unique looking dogs named Storm & Allyana, and they are both handsome, pretty and quite healthy as well. Honestly, these are the dogs that I would immediately adopt without second thoughts, good temperament, fit and attractive.What I admire about these dogs is that they are mixed breeds and the gene combination came out well. The owners are so lucky to have them and they are indeed proud to show their pets around. I'm quite confident that the owners of Storm and Allyana are dog loving and caring people who always look onto the wellness of the their pets.</div><br />
Meet Storm a 7 months male Chihuahua-Schnauzer mixed. This dog is so smart that it didn't even take a while for him to learn to sit and stay.<br />

Well, like I've said there are dogs that retrieve things naturally and all it takes is just a little polishing, however there are also dogs that are a bit challenging who requires more guidance as well as patience when teaching the dog and so obviously I would say that the latter will take sometime to learn the trick though its really possible. One thing should be kept in mind that all tricks start with the basics, it is important to establish a good foundation of the basic commands before proceeding to the next level. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before you begin training, it is best that you have already made a good bond with the dog, so your pet would respect you and listen to you. Also training should be fun for both. Avoid stressing your dog by spending too much time teaching the dog a command that he/she fails to obey, limit your session to 5-15mins, depending on how efficiently your dog enjoys the activity. If your dog stops paying attention consistently and starts playing around with something else you can stop the training and continue some other time. Don't expect your dog to master a trick or command over night, be understanding and patient.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are various methods and training techniques to teach the command fetch, retrieve or whatever you would like to call it. And the video I made that would like to share is my basic view of introducing to a dog how to fetch. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxXh-gxzBLpkYr02Vawh5GbXSdFPUmdV_yYORQWzJADYhW-rhdzCPAa8KIJYXT4OxAbe6CmtEJxKuzKEKVdmg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

When I was a kid I dreamed of having a dog just like the ones in movies, a dog who can sit,stay,come and fetch things. At that time I have no idea how these commands can be possibly taught especially retrieving objects which I find very impressive and useful. I never knew that someday I'll be able to train and teach my dog the command I love most "Fetch or Get". but of course my dog went through a consistent training starting from the basics before he can actually do tricks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Teaching the Fetch, Retrieve or Get command may be easy for some dogs who are natural retrievers, however, there are dogs that require more motivation and guidance, and owner teaching this command to his dog need a lot of understanding & patience. <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping"></link> <m:smallfrac m:val="off"> <m:dispdef> <m:lmargin m:val="0"> <m:rmargin m:val="0"> <m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"> <m:wrapindent m:val="1440"> <m:intlim m:val="subSup"> <m:narylim m:val="undOvr"> </m:narylim></m:intlim> </m:wrapindent><style>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fetching or retrieving is not only a fun activity but also a good physical and mental exercise for your dog.I<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">t's also one of the few interactive games that will reinforce your human-dog bond</span>. Working on a good foundation of Retrieve makes it easy for a dog to follow a more difficult task. Imagine your dog retrieving your car keys, instructing him to get his leash or even carry a basket for you. It takes time to master the trick so it should not be rushed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here is a demonstration of what fetch, retrieve can do after Loki successfully mastered the command. I use the word "Get" instead.<br />

At that moment I already felt that the man seemed to need help when he begun discussing the unacceptable behavior his canines exhibit, and I’m no longer surprise for I’ve heard these more than a dozen times. It’s always been that the dog is bored, stressed and suddenly became destructive. This Dog behavior issues can be caused by different things but more often it’s a typical case of an unhappy dog relationship with the owner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As I listen to the man’s story on how he spends time with his Labs, it really turned out that the dogs were unhappy with him. Obviously, it was lack of time attending to his dog’s needs because he was too busy with his job which I do not blame. It’s just that, his dogs do not fit his lifestyle and we are talking about two large dogs that require social attention, physical and mental exercise. And again it is sad to say that the owner is the problem and not the dog. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I’ve always been consistent on telling people that dog ownership is a long term commitment that requires sacrifice, patience, and quality attention. It’s the owner’s responsibility to attend to his dogs’ requirements not just <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Castor-Pollux-Ultramix-Canine-30-Pound/dp/B001BCUBFK?ie=UTF8&tag=myhapdogtrund-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">food</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=myhapdogtrund-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001BCUBFK" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Suncast-DH250-Dog-House/dp/B000QJ9EU2?ie=UTF8&tag=myhapdogtrund-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">shelter</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=myhapdogtrund-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000QJ9EU2" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=myhapdogtrund-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000QJ9EU2" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> but lots of interactive time such as playing or simply walking him to make him happy.

This is in line with the Independence Day celebration and which explains why most of the dogs came in their cutest Filipiniana outfit. Well, certainly this is the kind of event I would not want to miss, and it’s a good thing I was able to bring Tyson-my Minpin student who’s single and ready to mingle. We saw Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Pomeranians and some other breed participants, but no Mini Pinscher walked the ramp. Tyson could have bagged several awards if he was able to join. Unfortunately, he cannot because he is a member of a different organization which PCCI does not allow. Well I guess it wasn’t his time to shine. Though it was indeed an exciting and fun experience for Tyson, not bad at all, with some fans and paparazzis around, Tyson still appeared like a celebrity that day.</div><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping"></link> <m:smallfrac m:val="off"> <m:dispdef> <m:lmargin m:val="0"> <m:rmargin m:val="0"> <m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"> <m:wrapindent m:val="1440"> <m:intlim m:val="subSup"> <m:narylim m:val="undOvr"> </m:narylim></m:intlim> </m:wrapindent><style>
