Saturday Survey: Limiting Dog Ownership

Leave a comment

I posted Thursday about Sartell, MN, which has passed a law stating that any single dwelling unit may not have more than two dogs. That seems odd to me, and I’m not sure why the city made this rule.

Here in Stark County, Ohio, you can license five dogs under individual licenses, but if you have more than five, you need a special kennel license. I don’t believe it is in any way complicated to purchase a kennel license – just more expensive.

What about your town?

Saturday Survey: Dogs rescued from puppy mills

1 Comment

I posted an amazing video earlier in the week about the fabulous work the ASPCA is doing to rehabilitate adult dogs rescued from puppy mills. It’s clear that the dogs can be rehabilitated; however, it’s also clear it takes a ton of patience and hard work to help the dog recover. Would you have that much love in your heart to take on one of these dogs?

Saturday Survey: Playing With Your Dog

Leave a comment

I posted a couple of times this week about the importance of playing with your dog. One of the articles I read said some people play with their dogs as many as six times a day. I’m not sure what they are defining as a play session – or how long each one lasts, but I think six times a day sounds like a lot. (Maybe that’s because I have four dogs!) How about you – how many times a day do you stop what you’re doing and play with your dog?

Saturday Survey: Where does your dog fall on Slate’s Dog Graph?

Leave a comment

Earlier in the week, we published the dog graph recently featured on Slate.com. Where did your dog end up?

For my dogs:
Kayla is a Rottweiler / German Shepherd mix, which places her as Inexplicably Overrated.
Penny is a Beagle, making her a Hot Dog.
Daisy is a Puggle, with both the Beagle and Pug (and so, presumably a mix of the two) a Hot Dog.
Cooper is a Vizsla – too rare to be on the graph, I’d imagine.
And, of course, my two cats fall into the Hot Dog quadrant. (Did you catch the cat on the graphic when you looked at it?)

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
