"But how could this be? ", you may ask. "Last night my sweet loving dog was doing fine and now… is my dog poisoned, what could possibly be wrong?  Oh my, this throwing up is out of control, the diarrhea won't stop!"

You recycle. You eat organic. You put on a sweater before you crank up the heat. But have you ever considered your dog's effect on the environment? And have you thought about what the environment's doing to your dog?

With pet-friendly hotels, cabins, and resort spots popping up all over the map, traveling with your best friend has never been easier. But while jetting off without planning in advance sounds romantic, it can cause sticky situations if your dog is along for the ride.

Just as people parties can implode without the right combination of guests, food, and activities, so can affairs thrown for your four-legged friends. Torn up favors, half-gnashed party cake, urine stains on the crepe paper--a dog party gone wrong isn't pretty. Picture it: you and your dog return from your afternoon walk, and Rex assumes that, as usual, you'll plop down on the couch together. Imagine his amazement when the front door opens and instead of an empty sofa, there's a room full of his best human and canine friends, just waiting to congratulate him on making it another seven dog-years.

When we were kids, our older brother hated taking aspirin. Okay, perhaps we're really showing our age here, but these were the days before children's Tylenol liquid suspension and when Dimetapp cough syrup (we remember it as the yummy grape medicine) was by prescription only. Our poor mother could only get our brother to take a pill by crushing it in applesauce and spoon-feeding him. Considering the torture he put us through growing up, it was a great pleasure to have a reason to call big brother a "baby" at times...na nanny boo boo! Our poor pets don't have it as easy as our brother did when it comes to taking medication. Whenever our dog Pepper has to take a pill, we literally pry his mouth open, shove it to the back of his throat, clamp his jaw shut and rub until he swallows. Don't get us wrong, Pepper's pretty good about taking them (certainly better than our brother was), but why should we have to struggle at all? Isn't there a way to let him think his medication is more reward than punishment?

Many of you may know about our beloved pooch Pepper from PoodlePicks. It may surprise you to know that he has been, by far, the most challenging dog we've ever had. At almost eight years old, he still suffers from separation anxiety. We've never had to baby-proof our house with the kids, but to this day, we do have to Pepper-proof. Before we leave the house, we have to go through the routine of closing every door, completely cleaning off the dining room table, locking the pantry and strategically putting up gates to block off the kitchen and the stairs. Heaven forbid we accidentally skip anything...we will undoubtedly come home with garbage all over the kitchen (he figured out how to open the can), empty bags of baking chocolates strewn across the floor (he breaks into the pantry and zooms right in on them), or even smelly feces on the stairs. Of course, he only does these things when we're not home...when we are, he's a perfect angel. So tell us...who's trained who here? This situation is completely our fault, of course. When Pepper was a puppy, we were told that we should purchase a dog crate for him. But where on earth would we put a large, ugly and obtrusive wire crate in our small home?

Hi. Pardon the intrusion. I recently joined this community for its heart-warming subject, and in reading the posts, I came up with an idea! The idea is Yonkly: a company that offers a micro blogging platform similar to identi.ca and Twitter. Why I suggest them is because it is fully interactive, and has tonnes of skin designs to choose from. "Dogtime- All things Dog" would have a quirky new community, in keeping with the equally quirky postings. Just remember to visit Yonkly!
