This is a blog to tell you about dog. Are you interested in what your puppy or dog is thinking? If yes, please continue…. ^^

Because dogs are smart and friendly, they are called “best man’s friend”. I totally admit this point. Honestly, i am a crazy girl who love to talk to my dog because he is the only one in the world who will listen to me quietly. Dont you agree with me that dogs are actually a very good secret keeper?

Owning a dog and take care of it is similar to the process of raising a child. So, it is a serious matter. Being an owner of the dog, you must be loving and caring. You have to take full responsible to take care of the dog for its entire life because you get a lot of benefits from owning a dog. You will never ever find someone to love you unconditionally like a dog. The most important thing is, please dont leave your dog when it is old and unhealthy. Please think, you have a lot of friends who can talk and communicate with you. But your dog has you as its only friend.

To rear a dog as a pet, you need to understand some dog’s body language. Lets see:

Signs of confidence: erect stance( standing tall ), tail up, tail wagging in a slower sweep, ears pricked up or relaxed, direct look; relaxed, smaller pupils.

Signs of fear or concern: lowered stance, tail down or tucked under, tail wagging in a quick, frantic buzz; looking away or turning head away to loos so that whites of eyes show ( “whale eye”); dilated pupils. Dogs will often bark out of fear, in an attempt to keep a distance between themselves and the Big Scary Things.

Dogs will feel stressed in situations or frustration too. Stress signs: Shaking, whining, “submissive” urination, ears back, pupils dilated; rapid panting with corner of mouth pulled back; tail down; body lowered; sweating through paw pads, scratching at self; sudden interest in sniffing; yawning; blinking eyes; licking of lips or nose, or stretching tongue forward; looking away or turning head away; shaking body. * Frustrated dogs often bark*

Signs of aggression include: Stiff legs and body; growls. lowered hear; ears “pinned” back close to the head; eyes narrow and fixed intently; lips sometimes drawn back in a snarl; “hackles”( hair along back, especially over the shoulders and rump) up and erect; tail straight out, and intense stares( pupils may be fully dilated or shut)

Lets continue with some tips to rear a dog. There are few things you MUST prepare and do for it:

(A) Food preparation- remember to prepare the food for it. It needs to eat as you do. The food must have balanced nutrition.

(B) Water- remember to place a bowl or a bottle of water for your dog. PLEASE NOTE that it should be a clean one. ( personal idea: give it drink the water that you drink)

(C) Bath- A dog must bath once a week. For puppy, please try not to bath in few times a week although it may be very dirty. And, please bath with warm water. Treat it as a baby!

(D) Training- train it to go toilet itself. And train it to become whatever dog you like. Just keep it alive and healthy will do.

(E) Vaccination- Like human beings, dogs need to vaccinate also. Ask your vet for further information.

Are you mentally prepare to own a dog? Are you willing to treat your dear friend in your house lovingly? Shut down your computer and talk to it NOW!
