Blessed Are The Animals

AFTER having to stop a raging bull dead in its tracks, blessing a few dozen abandoned animals seems like a breeze.

Venerable Yana Dolma from the Arya Tara Gold Coast Buddhist Centre will be sending a healing and calming wishes on the cats and dogs of the Animal Welfare League tomorrow, between 5.30pm and 8pm.

Dog and Baby Crying Together

What I found amusing with this video wasn't just the fact that the Dog was reacting to the baby crying... watch the baby's reaction. That was the humourous part for me: it shut up. So I guess the moral of the story here is if you want to stop your baby crying: get the dog to start howling (aka "crying")

hahaha! enjoy !!

Do you have an amusing dog video to share ?

Dinner Time Fun - Tracking & Nosework

The following is one of my favourite activities to do with dogs if I am able to do so. This is especially great to give blind or sight disadvantaged dogs something mentally stimulating to do (of course in a safe environment).

Would you believe that your dog is capable of following a track left by a person and finding them at the end, and that you can teach this in the time it takes to feed his normal daily meal without any extra training? Many dog owners are learning about the sport of Tracking. Find out if your dog has what it takes to be the next Tracking Champion or Search and Rescue hero!

The plan is really quite simple. You take a portion of your dog's normal meal in a plastic bag. Then you 'lay the track', just walk normally across your yard, placing a piece of food in each step.
