I suspect most family members, including our pets, share hours, but when I was growing up my Mother stayed up very late reading, I rose early. Our pets were always up before I was and came to bed with me. Anyone else?

Does your pet mimic your lifestyle? If you are an early riser, or an all-nighter, does your pet keep the same hours?
-
For the most part…as long as she’s where ever we are, she’s happy to nap or to play. She gets up when we do and goes to bed when we do.

Benny is the same way, @Melissa_Ritts. Pretty much follows my daily routine. He isn’t a morning puppy though!

Will Bella wear bunny ears for the Easter egg hunt, or will she more likely be hunting bunnies? 🙂

The song on the “Memorials” tab..? That can be loaded on to a Memory Vessel, along with my favorite pet pictures! How meaningful and nice.

Oh my…Get out the tissues.. I am so moved. There is not one pet I do not think of of, from my first “Tiger” to the second, Cricket, Moses, Prince, Chivo, Tommy, Squirt, Wolf..All of my Loves. What a lovely song to remember them with. Thank you.

Bella! You live up to your name – beautiful…inside and out 😉

She is a very sweet and loving dog – and still a puppy at heart too. The most kissed and loved dog ever! (at least from me!)

Cool. I don’t have a motorcycle but my parents do. I think I’m going to bring this up to them – my mom bought a stroller for her dog…… She’d love this!

Oh I bet she’d love it too 🙂 Here’s a picture of all it’s pieces http://scooterworkschicago.com/accessories/luggage-and-carriers/#

Sounds so fun!!! So basically a typical dog park is a fenced in area where they can be unleashed?
-
Yes, and it usually has a double gate. So open the first gate into a small pen and close it after you before you open the next gate to the park area. This keeps dogs from rushing out and getting away.

Thanks for the heads up. Benny sometimes gets “excited” when he sees other dogs (depends on the dog – some he’s fine with right away, others he barks at) but calms down after a little bit… Kind of makes me nervous – just don’t know how to ease into letting him roam around at a dog park. Fingers crossed it goes well once it warms up more.
-
You might start off by keeping him leashed and do a couple laps around the park before you let him off lead. That will help him to be comfortable with his surroundings a little more. And treats!

I wish I had more time to teach Benny more tricks but I’ve used treats as encouragement in the past. How about you?
-
Thanks Cody. I’ve been trying to offer a reward and it seems to work. They make Dried Liver treats that seriously are the most delicious things for him…..he will do just about any trick haha…i think it’s just repeating maybe?

Any tips / suggesstions for going to a dog park? Benny and I have never been to one… Let me know what to expect?!
-
They are a lot of fun. I only ever had one problem with a chow going after my husky. The dogs are pretty social and they play pretty well together. It’s hilarious…but it’s a lot like taking your kid to the playground. Keep a watchful eye for your dog’s comfort level and signs of them not feeling safe or overwhelmed by all the other dogs there. Good dog parks will have two areas – one for large dogs and one for small dogs.

Cody I have taken Satchmo to a Dog park near me quite often. They are so fun…..ours has a smaller fenced area for smaller dogs and the ability to go in with the big Dogs if he wishes……good to have the option especially if he’s not used to being chased by some big ones! I bet he will love it though…..

Sweet! Where do they sell those?

You can get them on Amazon or any place that sells motorcycle luggage/saddle bags. This one is made by Saddleman.

Very interesting….I’ve wondered this often haha. Sometimes those 10 minute walks turn into 60 minute walks finding that “right spot.”
Yeah! Isn’t it crazy?
