My Bully Love

Posted By Dr. Kim on Dec 3, 2019

This time, King has a few thoughts to share. Since Ezra has arrived, there has been a subtle competition building between the growing little male, and the established one. King is urinating around areas he considers HIS. Ezra is outside a LOT as he prefers that. So King is making sure Ezra knows HE is the established KING of this domain – including the all over our patio which isn’t so nice lol. I take a lot of photos of...

Ways to Reduce Stress in Our Dogs

Posted By Dr. Kim on Oct 30, 2019

In today’s society it is an accepted fact that stress is a big factor in ill health for humans but somehow our pets are slipping through the cracks where stress is concerned. It’s possible that people just don’t know how to determine the signs of stress and if they do, they don’t know what to do about it. We need to learn to: • identify stress • put our pets at ease • and most importantly how “whole” health...

Welcome Ezra to the Pack!

Posted By Dr. Kim on Oct 23, 2019

Well I went and did it…got a new puppy! Our girl Schatzie passed away in January as readers of this blog may already know. She was a Carolina Dog and because of her I became intrigued with this breed. Admittedly I’d not experienced this breed as puppies lol. Soooo I learned they are high energy and intense dogs. I’ll just share the very few social media posts I wrote about our new boy as introduction and primarily all of...

Getting Some Dane Love

Posted By Dr. Kim on Sep 12, 2019

Back in mid July, my friends and I, shown in these pics, Wendy Lovas and Breanne Altherr, went to Salt Lake City, UT for the Young Living 2019 International Convention. We spent this particular day visiting our friend Thomas Sandberg (he runs the Long Living Pets Raw Food Research) enjoying his awesome Great Danes – Odin the black adult and Tyr the brindle pup. I definitely got a lot of needed Dane love from the two of them!...

My Dog is Friendly!

Posted By Dr. Kim on Aug 30, 2019

I’ve had this happen to me with my former dog Schatzie who wasn’t always friendly with other dogs, in particular female dogs. This happened one day when she and I were out walking in our usual place, and a guy came along with THREE dogs OFF leash. Schatzie was off leash but I casually put hers on and yelled at the guy to get his dogs because mine wasn’t friendly. I didn’t know if his dogs were male or female....

Two Breeds – One Heart

Posted By Dr. Kim on Aug 14, 2019

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr. Two American dog breeds: American Bully (left – King), Carolina Dog (native dog right – Schatzie). Male. Female. King...
