What’s wrong, Spunky? Are you feeling all alone, bloated and under-appreciated? I know a sure fix for all your problems. Let a hairy animal into your life! Get a dog. Before you know it you’ll be enjoying life, as you never have before. You don’t believe me? Well, allow me to prove my case.
Your first problem is that you have no friends. Did you know that research shows people are thirty percent more likely to initiate a conversation with a dog walker than a non dog walker? Think of the possibilities. All you have to do is hit the streets with your pooch and wait for the socialization to begin. The most common question is, ‘What kind of dog is that?’ This enquiry is closely rivalled by, ‘How old is he?’ and ‘Where did you get him?’ These conversation starters will soon have you well known around the neighbourhood. You now have Rover to thank for getting friends for you!
Your dog can help you get into shape. You can forget the torture of weight loss diets if you can embrace the idea of exploring every park and ravine in your neighbourhood with your furry companion. Your fat loss solution lies in cross country rambles with your hairy friend. Don’t even think about trying to get all your fitness equipment back from your friends and family. It is much more fun to go out and run with your dog than it is to try and recover ancient treadmills.
If you cannot get respect from your co-workers and family, your dog will put them to shame. He will never shy away from you, implying that you are a bit less than perfect. To him, you are God’s gift to the world. He would choose you for a master over all other contenders. His loyalty is guaranteed and his respect is yours without question.
Why would you not get a dog? Some landlords or family members may raise objections to dog ownership. This can be a challenge for a prospective dog owner who knows in his heart that he is going to treat dog ownership as a pleasant duty. There will be no holes dug in flower beds or scratches on doors if you are in charge. But some people just cannot be convinced until they have iron clad reassurances. There is one good way to allay the fears of anyone who tries to dissuade you from your doggy dreams.
You can commit yourself to taking your dog to dog training classes. It is a good idea to do this as early as possible in your relationship with your dog. If you learn proper care and control of your pet, you should have a great relationship with him.
If you decide to get a dog, soon you will feel the benefit of his love. He will attempt to support your every move. There is no chance that you will feel lonely as long as he is around.

North Wales has come up with a way of trying to get pets to calm down before next weeks bonfire night. Take a couple of things into consideration, is it going to help the dog or make it a lot worse than it already is. As well as this, can it be classed as cruelty to animals?
The CD
The CD is offered to anyone wishing to purchase it and is supposed to get animals used to the really lous noises. Gunfire, thunder clashes, vacuum cleaners and the very strange baby’s cry are just some of the sounds to be expected on this CD. Yet the one thing that dogs are most frightened of, fireworks, seems absent from the disc altogether.
The experts are apparently saying that you can leave this CD playing when you are out of the house to play constantly. So in actual fact you are scaring your pet for a good few weeks before bonfire night when it isn’t necessary at all.
To me it sounds like the company behind this are trying to make a bit of money on the side by taking gulliable pet owners for a ride. The experts are saying that the pets should not be soothed and taken care of when they are scared but they should learn their lessons and be left to be shown that they shouldnt be afraid.
So would this work for a human?
Lets point a gun at someone and threaten to shoot them, when they are trembling in fear lets not stop lets carry it on some more to stop them from being scared.
The vet behind this idea is wrong, it is as simple as that. One of the best things to do is to do it your way and not listen to other people. Do what we do in our house, bring the dog upstairs for one night, they feel a lot more comfortable around their owners and will not be scared in anyway.
Wales in general is actually a really nice place to visit so why not take one of those family days out to there. UK family holidays is yet another option to take when it comes to visiting Wales.
