Dog says, “I love you!”

I have written in the past about dogs smiling when they are happy (Your Dog Just Might Be Smiling At You). Yes, it really is true! When your dog acts happy and looks like he is smiling, he really is. I have even written about the love your dog feels for you (Does Your Dog Really Love You?), but this is different.

This pup takes his emotions one step further and actually says, “I love you!” to his owner.

If you have to see it, um, I mean hear it to believe it then check this out!

5 Ways to attract hummingbirds

I think we would all agree that watching hummingbirds in our gardens is one of the greatest rewards for a gardener. In order to keep these welcomed visitors returning, there are certain things that will please hummingbirds and keep them coming back for more. Here are 5 tips:

1. Get your feeders ready. Approximately 10 days before hummingbirds return to your area is when you want to have your feeders stocked with nectar and hanging in your garden.

2. Place more than one feeder in your garden so that a dominant male doesn’t prevent other hummingbirds from feeding in your yard.

3. Keep your feeders clean, fresh, and free of rancid or moldy nectar. Hummingbirds are known for their cleanliness and will find another place to feed if your feeders are dirty.

4. Hummingbirds love fresh water that is misting or moving. Keep a pump or mister in your garden and watch the hummingbirds play and bathe several times per day!

5. Tie a red ribbon around your feeder. Hummingbirds cannot resist bright colors!

Have fun and enjoy your faithful feathered visitors!

Doggie Play Dates

Doggie play dates are a great way for your dog to get plenty of exercise while socializing and having fun. This can help your dog avoid boredom which often leads to destructive behavior at home. Having fun and getting plenty of exercise are essential for your dog’s optimal health.

Choosing the right dogie friend for your pet may be a tough decision. If you have a dog park close to your house that is up to your standards, great! If you have friends with dogs you can get together with them and their pets for a fun time. You also can use the Internet to find just the right match for your dog to play with. Some popular site are: datemypet.com, meetup.com, petster.com, and dogplaydate.com.

Good luck and have fun!
