    On this Memorial Day we remember those who served in the armed forces and didn't make it back. This includes the four-legged services members who made the sacrifice with their lives too. Military dogs who are killed in action are very brave and selfless as they protect our troops. Military Working Dogs (MWD'S) are heroes in uniform that rarely get media attention. They are trained to sniff out bombs and drugs , along with tracking people and attacking individuals if necessary.  There are about 2500 four legged friends serving in the military at this time.

    Many years ago, military dogs were classified as military equipment. Many felt this was wrong. Military dogs are now given military ranks. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY2013 was signed into law allowing retired military dogs to be transfer to specific locations for adoption. Thinking about adopting a retired military dog.

    COVID PET

    Is My Pet Safe From the Corona Virus?

    The corona virus also known as COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, and talking. We all want to keep our pets safe from this pandemic.

    I have waited a while to write this article to find as much research and scientific evidence as possible to help our community understand how to keep our pets safe.  I have spent numerous hours researching so you don't have to. This is what the experts know at this time.

     

    I was sitting at home one evening enjoying a cup of coffee and I was watching my dog roll around on the floor. All of a sudden, she jumped up and started circling. I continued to watch her and I realized she was actually chasing her tail. I started laughing and spit my coffee of all the place. Okay, enough about my amusement and the mess I made.

    I started to wonder why my dog was chasing her tails. After a bit of research, I found the most common reasons dogs chase their tails can be boredom, attention, something can be wrong or genetics.
