I've turned my own name around

When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees.

When at last He finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine
And give each one a name".

He traveled far and wide,
and everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him,
Until it's strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth,
In the sky and in the sea,
A little creature said, "Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me".

Kindly, the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end".
"I've turned my own name around
And have called you Dog, my friend!"

George & Amal Clooney Adopted A Shelter Dog Named Millie

One very lucky Bassett Hound...

Arin Greenwood Animal Welfare Editor, The Huffington Post

A dog found begging for scraps outside a California restaurant just got adopted by George and Amal Clooney. 

Millie is a 4-year-old Bassett hound who came into the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society earlier this month, having been discovered outside a local restaurant called the Macho Café.

The couple first saw Millie's picture on Petfinder, and then showed up at the shelter to meet her, says shelter spokesperson Lynn Collmann.

"It definitely added to the excitement on one of our busiest afternoons when we do vaccinations for the public," Collmann says.

A spokesman for George Clooney confirmed that the couple adopted Millie from the shelter "and they love her."

The Clooneys brought their other doggie Louie as well, to make sure that he and Millie would get along. They spent an hour and a half playing, and asking questions of (thrilled) shelter staff.

"They took the time to get to know her and vice versa, making sure she was a good fit for their other rescue dog, and would be a good family member," says Collmann.

With a rags-to-riches story worthy of Hollywood, Millie then left the shelter a Clooney.

Adopting a shelter pet is one of the kindest things 

you can do, in my book. 

Thanks for adopting, not shopping.

What not to feed your dog during the Thanksgiving Feast

I know it is early but Mama thought this would be a good reminder for everyone. We probably will re-post it in November, which will be here before you know it.

Mama's grandboy, my nephew

Dexter got a new stuffie from his Aunt Denise. 
I got nothing! 

Dexter has a lot more toys than I do. 

Maybe it is because I murder my stuffies 
and he carries his around the huse?

 Now give me a Kong ball and I will play 

with that until Mama takes it away for the night. 
Those super balls are really pitbull strong!

I wonder what Dexter is wearing? He can't be cold. 
Oh wait, I forgot my brother keeps his house's 
temperature like an igloo. 

Woof, woof till later, 

Zoey

Glad this doesn't only happen to me...

I can relate to this poor fellow! This happens to me when I try cuddling with one of those stuffed toys Mama gives me. Doesn't she know you can't trust those things? By now she should know better because her bedroom floor often looks like this poor pup's room. 

This dog could be my brother from another mother. He or she looks like me but in the brown version.

Dexter napping

Dexter and Mama like their naps!  
Me, I rather stand by the window and bark 
at everything that moves.

Dog Food Recalls--3 more

Dog Owners, Check Your Pup’s Food! Three More Recalls Have Been Issued!

Three new recalls are effecting dog food across the country, bringing the number of recalls to 22 this year (as opposed to 10 in 2014), a depressing and frightening statistic.

The latest food to be recalled is OC Raw Dog of California. The company recalled 640 pounds of its Chicken, Fish & Produce Raw Frozen Canine Formulation due to salmonella contamination.The 6.5-pound Doggie Dozen Patties, 4-pound Doggie Sliders and 3-pound Meaty Rox with the lot number 1819, and use by date of 05/05/16 are all being recalled, although they were only distributed in Colorado, Vermont, and Pennsylvania through independent and specialty retailers. Make sure to check your food, and contact OC Raw Dog if you purchased potentially contaminated food!

The second recall is for Good n’ Fun Beefhide Chicken Sticks, which were sold at Dollar General and Dollar Tree stores across the country. These treats are also potential salmonella risks. While no illnesses have been reported (yet), if you have a package of the treats stamped with Lot #AO15010; expiration date of 03/2018; UPC code 0 91093 82247 1, make sure to get rid of them!

While salmonella tends to be the reason for the majority of recalls recently, Dingo Chip Twists Chicken in the Middle dog treats are being recalled after amantadine was found to potentially be contaminating the treats. Amantadine is an antiviral medication meant for humans, and is absolutely not approved for use in pet foods. The treats were made in China, and sold in Washington, California, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Make sure to keep an eye out!

If you have purchased any of these products, you can contact the FDA to get more information on what to do with potentially contaminated items.

To report a pet food complaint, you can go to the FDA’s pet food complaint page, and you can also contact a Consumer Complaint Coordinator.

As we head towards the end of the year, we can only hope that the staggering number of recalls doesn’t have any new additions. However, if there are any more complaints, we will make sure to update you! Stay safe!

Don't Ever Do These Things to Your Dog

By Carol Bryant

Dedicated dog parents are some of the most incredible people in the world. But even the most caring dog moms and dog dads sometimes do things that just aren’t in the best interests of their four-legged companions. Do you do any of these things? Read on and share in the comments which mistakes you have made and add your own cautionary advice.

Leave a Dog Alone in the Car

Even when the weather is relatively cool, a car can quickly become a greenhouse of sorts and cause your dog to become overheated and sick. If left alone for too long, a dog can even die. No matter the weather or season, a dog alone in a car is a target for thieves. Dogs should never be left alone in an unattended vehicle.

Make a Dog Live on a Chain

Yes, all dogs should have access to the outdoors. Yes, if you don’t have access to a fenced yard it is sometimes perfectly fine to tether a dog outside for a period of time as long as the weather is good and the dog is supervised. But dogs should never be forced to live their lives on a chain. Dogs need human interaction and stimulation, to be part of a family, and a measure of freedom. Being left out on a chain while the rest of your family is together indoors is simply cruel.

Neglect Your Dog's Teeth

The American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) president, Dr. Ted Cohn, has stated that although daily tooth brushing is advised for dogs and cats, only 2 percent of dog owners follow through. In addition, 65 percent of dogs with stage one periodontal disease often go untreated. Always have a veterinarian check your dog’s teeth at least once a year and prior to starting any home-based dental regimen. Get into the habit of regular dental care. A child’s toothbrush is best for newcomers and dogs with smaller mouths. A fingertip toothbrush is also acceptable for starters. Never use human toothpaste on a dog. Why? They can’t spit, and there are ingredients in many human toothpastes that can make a dog sick.

Hit a Dog

Putting your hand(s) on a dog as a form of punishment is wrong. It will harm your relationship with your dog and prevent proper training.

In her book, It’s Me or the Dog, Victoria Stilwell, famed positive reinforcement trainer and star of her own dog behavior show on Animal Planet, writes, “When you hit a dog, you teach him to fear you, break his trust, and you weaken his confidence. Insecure dogs are the ones who are more likely to lash out in an aggressive display.”

Assume Your Dog Doesn't Have Feelings

Dogs feel—they have emotions and they understand emotions. Recent scientific studies have shown that dogs experience love like humans and can read human emotions based on facial expressions. Dogs have the capacity to love, feel, become depressed, and get excited. Berating a dog or purposely upsetting him harms the dog and your relationship with him.

Skip Veterinary Visits

This may sound like a “no brainer” but there are some people who believe they can self-diagnose their dog’s health problems online and not seek veterinary care. There is a time and a place for online research or to look up additional medical information for a beloved pet. But if a dog acts out of the ordinary or there are any symptoms of poor health, seeking veterinary care is of utmost importance. Never take medical matters into your own hands.
