dogs

Halloween is fast approaching and it's a good time to remind pet owners what foods can be harmful and sometimes deadly for your animals.

I love my dog and I love being around her but there are certain places I'd rather she not be right next to me. I had no idea that this local restaurant was allowing dogs inside but they're not allowed to anymore.

Miranda Lambert is very passionate about her MuttNation Foundation. She helps rescue animals find forever homes. When she heard of the devastation in Texas, she wanted to make sure that the animals get help too.

I love that country music artists bring their dogs on tour with them, treat them like children on the road and care for them so well. No other country artist does more for rescue animals than Miranda Lambert and now you can buy cool stuff for your animals.

I am sure life on the road is not an easy one. These artists sacrifice a lot to travel city to city to entertain the masses. They have, however, found creative ways to bring some creature comforts of home along with them. I am hoping that at Countryfest on Saturday (July 8th), we get to see their special guests.

Let me first say that I think it's awesome that there are a bunch of restaurants in the 518 that accept our furry friends to dine with us. Unfortunately, I can't participate because my dog, Freddie, isn't the kind of dog that would sit nicely at a restaurant. Although I did find a ton of restaurants that accept the well behaved kind.

I'm all for the support of animals, especially police animals. There's something about animals putting their lives on the line to support or save us humans. Animals truly are saints.

Pit Bulls get bad press a lot of the time because they tend to be the breed that a lot of people utilize to protect themselves. Some owners take advantage of their underlying aggression and instead of getting them trained to control it, they push them to be more angry. That's why I was so excited to see that the first pit bull was named a police officer in New York State. I can't believe this happ

I absolutely love my dog Freddie and in honor of National Pet Day, I would like to give him a huge shout out. But National Pet Day isn't just for loving all pets, it's actually a way to help out local shelters and give a little extra love to those animals that need some extra attention.

If you are a dog owner or have ever had a dog, you know that they all have their own unique personalities.

First Responders are always there in a moments notice, often risking their lives to save another.  But a firefighter in Santa Monica, CA saved a dogs life and it's got the internet buzzing. The story itself is awesome, but after seeing these pics,  your heart might literally melt into a big pile of warm, gooey, humanity.  It's that adorable
