Anyways, the Doberman Pinscher!

Such awesome dogs!



The Doberman Pinscher is a medium sized, muscular dog.

Dobes (nickname for Doberman Pinscher) have a pointed face,

small eyes,

and always a dark nose, it depends on the color of their coat.


The coat comes in colors

Black,

Tan markings,

Red,

Fawn,

and White.





They are very energetic,

so daily LONG walks will do!

And they are loyal too, of course!

They are gentle and sweet, but the dog has to know YOU are boss.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog: Dog Breed Post #4

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog.

Amazing dogs, I love them.

But they are for sure not the only dog breed I love!


They are originally bred in Turkey and bred for being a livestock guard.

Also called the Çoban Köpeği.


They have dark fur around the eyes and nose.

These Shepherd dogs are strong and broad.

Their tails curl upwards.

The coats can be medium size or short.

Anatolian Shepherds come in the color

Fawn, Pinto, White, and Bridle.




Very loyal dogs and an amazing guard dog.

They have a powerful voice that can alert anyone when something is not right.


Training as early as possible!

This dog breed is not recommended for beginners,

to become an owner to an Anatolian Shepherd dog,

you definitely must know how to become the boss of the house.

You will need good patience too.


Average Height, Male: 28-30 inches (71-76 cm)

Average Weight, Male: 100-150 pounds (45-68 kg)



Average Height, Female: 26-28 inches (66-71 cm)

Average Weight, Female: 90-130 pounds (41-59 kg)


Life Expectancy: 12-15 years


This breed is a very heavy shedder.

So if you own or plan to have this dog, you will see hills of fur on couches,

carpets, floors, chairs, etc.

Grooming is definitely required.

but only a little bit of grooming is enough.

Thanksgiving is coming!

Hello Ania talking!


So as you all know,

Thanksgiving is almost here.



Now todays post will be about which food you can give to a dog!

So celebrate thanksgiving with your dog.

Pumpkin: It is totally okay to give a dog pumpkin! Just make sure you give them plain pumpkin

(cooked or raw). No pumpkin pie please!



Turkey: Give your dog only a small amount of white meat, bones and other spices or anything NOT

ALLOWED!

Mashed Potato: No butter or gravy on the mashed potato, give them plain mashed potato.



Vegetables: such as corn, corn actually gives dogs an energy boost!

Cranberries: For this, give them a tiny tiny tiny amount!

Stuffing! Everyone loves stuffing, and so does your dog!

Please note that you give them a small amount :)

A plate full of these can cause a very bad bathroom break.


Hope you have a good Thanksgiving day next week!

-Ania

Dog Facts Friday! (Sorry)

Oh no. I did it again.

It's Monday!


Don't you just hate work at home?

Never gives you the freedom in your own house!


Anyways,


1. Dachshunds were bred to fight badgers


2. The phrase "raining cats and dogs" was made

in the 17th century in England. During

thunderstorms,

stray cats and dogs were drowning under the

water.

After the Thunderstorm happened, it really does

seem like it was raining cats and dogs.


3. Dog noses are like fingerprints. Each one is different and can be used to identify them.


Want to know where I get this information?

Click me :)



Well that is it for this post!

But not the only post today, it's tuesday right?



Dog Breed Post is coming up next.


See you then,

Poem Time :) #1

The Gates of Truth


Why don't you notice me?

I'm right here.

So peek through the fences.

Open your arms.

Make your'e promise come true.

But why do I have to wait every time?

Why does everyone around me,

have to disappear?

Don't take it as a punishment.

Keep trying brother,

because I know you will

Come for me.




So this is my Poem, and I will post 'Poem Time :)' every friday.

Just like "Dog facts friday".


So how do I do it?

I take my Ipod then play a random song.

I jot down every sentence I can think of while listening to this song.


Hope you enjoyed this poem!


(This song is called 'Crime and Punishment', very beautiful but sorrowful song).

This song actually came from a famous Anime & Manga, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. 



Hope to see you soon!


-Ania :P



PS: This may not be dog related, but this is a blog right? Blogging is for writers.

So why not write a poem in a blog? ;)

We haven't met yet!

Hello! My name is Mila.

Ania, a friend of mine, told me that she posted about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

We are great dogs aren't we?


Anyways, here is what I look like. (Yeah, I stick my tongue out sometimes... :P)


I live with a cat named Blossoms.

I don't think she likes me much but I try to become friends.


My owners name is called Katherine.

She has a blog about crafting. 

Please click HERE!

It will make her so happy.


Katherine tells me that I bark a lot. My worst habit :(

When ever I see some kind of strange looking object, I bark and bark and bark.


But thats okay! I mean who cares anyways?



Anyways, do you know what I LOVE?

RUNNING!

I have so much energy, I get so happy when I get to run with my owners.



Well, this is my introduction.

You will definitely see more of me!


Basically I will be talking about how my life is going on so far.


-Mila :) 




The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: Dog Breed Post #3

Once again!

I am seriously sorry! :(

I'm late again.

There is just way too much work for me to do.


Anyways,

Today we will review about the cavalier king charles spaniel!


These dogs are energetic and will never leave your side.

A very active breed.

They shake their butts and tails with happiness because they are always joyful.


They have a round head, and a stubby muzzle.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have black noses and eyes. (I will nickname them Charlies)


Charlies will be extremely greatful when they see leashes.

They need daily walks!

Average Height: 12-13 inches (30-33 cm)

Average Weight: 10-18 pounds (5-8 kg)


Health Problems:  Gain weight easily

Eye Diseases

Back Problems

Serious Heart Problems

Deafness etc.


If you do not have any time to groom a dog.

This breed is not for you!


Charlies have long fur, which means they need grooming often.

Bathe and shampoo when necessary.

The fur on between the pads of the feet needs trimming.

Hair on ears need regular brushing and inside of ears need cleaning definitely.


CHECK THEIR EYES!

Check if they have any infections.


Also, make sure they are WARM and DRY after a bath.

Very important!


Well thats it for today!

If you are wondering where I get this information, I get it from a brilliant website:

Click here


This website is not only about dogs, it is also about other pets! So make sure you check it out.


Talk to you later!

-Ania :)




PS: The next post will be spoken by Mila, a friend of Dixie. In fact, she is a

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

Dog Facts Friday!

Hello guys,


Sorry about not being around!

I was extremely caught up with work!

Well anyways, it was supposed to be Dog Facts Friday on Friday.

Whoops, it is Sunday!


Dog Facts Friday:

1. A dog's nose isn't only used for smelling, but also used for cooling himself/herself down.



2. The dog is the first living thing from Earth to be in Space.

3. You spend about an average $5,000 for a dog to ten years old!


Again, I am really sorry about the lack of posts!

I hope this will never happen again.

It sure has been a very busy week!


See you soon!
