Five reasons how/why my life is GRAND

1. 
   Life is grand because my pawparents love me no matter what I do or don't do
2. 
   Life is grand because I do NOT have a liver shunt and I did NOT have to have surgery - I'm in full recovery and feeling GRAND
3. Life is grand because my pawrents take me everywhere they go, even to restaurants where they eat on the patio even if it's cold just so I can be with them - AND, they sneak me into hotels if they aren't pet friendly!!!!
4. I have lots of toys and treats and a bed in every room just in case I tire out along the way
5. My mom will cook really good food for me like free range chicken, new potatoes, organic baby carrots and organic green beans and toss them in a dill sauce - especially if I hold out long enough from eating my doggie food

These pink roses are given to friends, bringing them a sweet and fruitful day. Those who receive these roses as a gift, need to pass it on to ten friends to show them you care. And to those who received the roses, it's to show you are never forgotten.

I would like to pass them on to Amber Mae, Chase, Cookie, Golden, Samantha, Maggie & Mitch, Mason Dixie, Suzuki, Tuffy, Tweedle

Those Are NOT your shoes! Destructive Chewing

If you don't give your dog his own personal things to chew, he will be forced to satisfy his natural instincts by chewing the things around him. And trust me, he'll find plenty of things that are pleasing to chew ... like your favorite shoes, those new throw pillows or the living room sofa! Bummer.

Destructive chewing behavior can really test your undying love for your four-legged pal..

But did you know that it could also cause a lot of serious health problems for your dog? Eating the stuffing in those pillows and sofa cushions can lead to serious gastro-intestinal problems. Painful splinters from chewed wood can cut your dog's gums or become deeply lodged in his paws or gums. Once swallowed, those buttons from your favorite cardigan sweater can become stuck in your dog's throat, causing him to choke.
