Did You Know Dogs Enjoy Watermelon?

Kimberly Edwards — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 06:28:25 +0000

Not sure if you know this fact, but I wanted to share it with you. Dogs quite enjoy eating watermelon. They even enjoy eating the rind and skin. In fact, watermelon is not only delicious for them, but high in water content, as well as providing fiber. In humans, the part of the watermelon where [...]

Kimberly Edwards — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 21:26:51 +0000

That’s right, everyone. It’s very important to be sure your pets are all up-to-date on their shots, boosters, heartworm and flea medication, as well as their grooming. Last week, the “K” Crew went in to the vet for their booster shots – the whole litter. They were all calm, cool and collected, for the most [...]

Winter Puppy Care

Kimberly Edwards — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 01:09:26 +0000

As mentioned before a few posts ago, we had 7 miniature schnauzer puppies for Christmas! They are all now 9 weeks old and they are absolutely amazing. The sweetest puppies you’ve ever met, each with different personalities and appearances. Living in Canada, it is most inconvenient to have puppies in the dead of winter, believe [...]

How to Deskunk Your Dog When They Get Sprayed

Kimberly Edwards — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:05:24 +0000

My mother’s Westie-Poo, “Sugar”, was sprayed by a skunk in the face about 3 weeks ago, as did my 2 miniature schnauzers, Knosey and Kurious. We’ve tried to bathe Sugar numerous times with shampoos, tomato juice, mayonnaise and peanut butter, which worked the best of all of these home remedies. However, my mother still couldn’t [...]

Kimberly Edwards — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:47:13 +0000

Do you… Wash your dog one day, just to have the “stink” return the very next day? Wait weeks between bathing your dog because his or her skin gets so dry and flaky? Hate bathing your dog because you rinse and rinse and rinse…and still can’t get him or her completely rinsed off? Is your [...]

Sugar is Shedding a Bit

Kimberly Edwards — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:47:42 +0000

My mother’s dog, Sugar, is a Westie-Poo (West Highland White Terrier – Poodle cross). She doesn’t regularly shed, but as she’s gotten older, I think she loses a bit more hair than she used to. Being a white dog, it is espeically noticable in a few of our rooms with dark colored carpet, causing us [...]

What if Something Happens to Me? My Dogs Need Me!

Kimberly Edwards — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:23:05 +0000

Just because your terriers aren’t children, they’re still our babies and we treat them as such. I know it’s crossed your mind before…”What if something happens to me?” Then, you think…”My dogs need me!” We don’t have children yet, so our 3 miniature schnauzers are our children! Some people who do have human children still [...]

If Your Terrier Puppy is Coughing…

Kimberly Edwards — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:27:53 +0000

Puppies need to be watched closely for the 1st few weeks. You must make sure they’re eating well, running around, playing and sleeping. Puppies, as I have said before, should sleep 80% of the time, but when they’re awake, they ought to be playing around. With changes in temperature, air pollution and everyday stresses, it [...]

Terrier Puppies and Vomiting

Kimberly Edwards — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:40:15 +0000

Terrier puppies like to eat things that are on the floor or in the grass…basically, anything they can get their mouths on. This can upset their tummies. Also, over-handling your new puppy and feeding them from the table can cause them to vomit. * If your puppy is NOT playful or if the vomiting continues [...]
