The other day a friend was telling me how he saw this dog who was assisting a blind lady. The guide dog got distracted and those around him wanted to play with him, but the owner pulled his leash abruptly. He thought that was rude and abusive. I explained to him that dogs who assist the blind should not be distracted. The guide dogs that assist the blind are trained with a dog harness and leash. Several people are involved in the training of the blind dog guides. Their training is vigorous and detailed. The dog must be aware of his destination and how to get there without any incident for his owner.

Have you ever noticed how completely satisfied your pets are? Especially cats. When you give them your full attention, they want for nothing more!

One of my most favorite manifestations to date was manifesting a cat into my life. Because of my landlord’s decision, I am not allowed to own any pets, however I put out the request to have a cat because I really love them.

Within a month of having this desire I’ve manifested a beautiful black and white cat that comes and visits me every now and then. Every so often she will come to my window wanting a little attention.

Are you in need of a basic Betta Fish Care-Free Guide? Betta fish are considered to be some of the heartiest fish you can purchase, but is this really true? Yes and no. It is true that Betta fish are pretty stout, but this is a somewhat misguided rumor. They got their reputation due to the fact that they can live in some of the dirtiest and cloudiest water out there. The reason for this is because they have the ability to get oxygen direct from the air due to an organ in their bodies. In fact, Betta fish are much like any other exotic fish you need to take care of them diligently.

On a beautiful spring morning a few years back I found myself sitting in a small classroom listening to “The Evil Russian,” Pavel Tsatsouline discuss flexibility training.

There were about 25 people in the room and they were all there to learn techniques that Pavel used to train the elite Russian Special Forces Unit, Spetznaz. Everyone listened intently as Pavel shared his secrets with us, but one person, me, was really amazed at how some of what he said applied to dog training.

Hummingbirds are delightful creatures to watch effortlessly hovering in the air constantly seeking a source of food. If you have a humming bird feeder near your dwelling it can be a joy to watch them hovering near the feeder, leaving to their nest and returning often.

As with any wildlife near your living area it is important to become familiar with some common problems and questions that may arise when dealing with hummingbirds. One common question and concern is what should you do in case you run across a humming bird injured by flying into a window or other stationary object?

Most die due to predators, accidents and disease, so it is important we minimize the chances of any human induced accidents.

Choosing a Macaw that’s right for your family can be hard. Pet stores these days can tend to focus more on profits than on raising a healthy well adjusted Macaw. So I thought I’d give you three tips to look for when purchasing a macaw.

Tip #1 – Stay Educated

Before purchasing a Macaw you really need to make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. A Macaw can be an excellent choice of pet parrot, as it’s not as temperamental or likely to scream excessively like a cockatoo, but also can tend to have a higher need to destroy things than say a Quaker or Conure parrot.
