The Book You Need To Create Family Traditions

The Book You Need To Create Family Traditions

Now More Than Ever Everything We Do Needs To Be
Turned Into A Positive Family Tradition
Louisville, CO., Mar. 01, 2010- The special things we look forward to as a family and the everyday routines we abide by such as the time we get up, feed the dog, walk and socialize the dog at the park are traditions that bind a family together.
People have always gathered together to celebrate special occasions. Parties give an opportunity to have good times and create fun memories. In fact, parties are an essential part of family life. Whether it is simple or elaborate, for many or a few, whatever the occasion, these parties become part of your family traditions.Writing this book forced me to evaluate why I included my dog in all of my celebrations as well as my accomplishments and major milestones. I realized that my dog was part of my family and I wanted to include him in my traditions as well as create rituals to show my love. Family traditions celebrate the special events in our lives including holidays and special accomplishments. These are opportunities to have “good times” and create fun memories.
Patricia Griecci, founder of Smiling Dog and PlayMore Publishing, knows the problem some pet guardians face. “A large number of guardians (pet owners) have told me the same thing about asking how to include their best friend in a family tradition or celebration.

“Writing this book forced me to evaluate why I included my dog in all of my celebrations as well as my accomplishments and major milestones”; leading her to publish, “Pampered Pooch Parties”.

Devoted dog owners know the joy and excitement of having a dog as their best friend and family member. If you party with Fido, you’re not alone. Every year, over 10 million people celebrate their dogs’ birthday, according to the American Pet Association. Some 750,000 throw parties and invite other pets.

There are many reasons that some families feel disconnected. For example, moving out of the area, family separation and divorce, loss of a loved one are some factors that cause the family not to be as close as before.

Start today, by realizing that daily things you do that make your family special. Realize that those little things done together are really memories in the making. Always include our four legged friends in these memories and traditions

One Lazy Person

Driver Fined After Walking Dog While In Car

Dog’s Owner Acknowledged There Was ‘Element Of Laziness’

An English dog owner has been fined after taking his pet for a stroll while driving next to him in his car. Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted driving at low speed along a country lane in December, holding his dog’s leash through the car window as the animal trotted alongside. Railton pleaded guilty Monday to not being in proper control of a vehicle. His lawyer, Paul Donoghue, said 23-year-old Railton acknowledged “it was a silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness” while exercising his lurcher, a type of crossbred sighthound. Railton was ordered by magistrates in Consett, northeast England, to pay a 66 pound ($100) fine, plus costs. He also received three more penalty points on his license and is now barred from driving for six months.


Why We Need Family Traditions

The special things we look forward to as a family and the everyday routines we abide by such as the time we get up, feed the dog, walk and socialize the dog at the park are traditions that bind a family together.

A strong family has a commitment to one another and keeps increasing in strength because of the time we spend together. Samples of traditions that we need to recognize are:

Celebration Traditions. These are things we do for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and we can celebrate these events for a very special member of our family, our dog.

Family traditions. Having the family cook and eat dinner together and lets not forget the family evening dog walk.

Families that have the strongest ties have the most traditions of rituals in their life. Rituals provide a sense of continuity, understanding and love that strengthens families.

Why else do we need traditions and rituals?

Time to relate or communicate with each other.
Help in adapting to new stages of development, crisis or the flow of events. Things like learning a new hobby or caring for our pet

A time to heal and from a loss or disappointment in life. Using this time to talk about good times and pull together in times of loss of a loved one or a pet.

Time to affirm family values. The craft projects we do for the holidays or special family events.

The time we celebrate together. Special events in our lives including holidays and birthdays.

There are many reasons that some families feel disconnected. For example, moving out of the area, family separation and divorce, loss of a loved one are some factors that cause the family not to be as close as before. As we grow older our needs stay the same and so does our desire to share information with those who are younger. As you recognize the traditions and rituals in your families, take time to recognize the strength you gain from them. They make your family unique and provide understanding, continuity, closeness and appreciation for one another.

Start today, by realizing that daily things you do that make your family special. Realize that those little things done together are really memories in the making. Always include our four legged friends in these memories and traditions.

Meet the German Shepherd

Meet the German Shepherd

Remember celebrity canine cop Rin Tin Tin, the German shepherd that fought crime in movies and on TV for decades? Dogs of this breed are well suited for police work off screen as well, thanks to their intelligence, fierce loyalty, and keen sense of smell. Search-and-rescue dog and guide dog for the blind and disabled are other positions you may see on a shepherd’s resume. They aren’t all work and no play, though. When trained and socialized early on in life, they make great pets and get along well with the whole family, including other animals.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month

Dental disease is very common in dogs and cats.
Tartar buildup is the most common problem. Tartar can lead to gingivitas and root exposure.
Periodontal disease is the most common diagnosed disease affecting 80% of pets.
Symptoms may or may not be evident but can include:
Bad Breath
Yellow brown buildup along the gum line
bleeding gums
oral pain
tooth loss
depression
Whole body effects can result when bacteria enter the blood stream from gums and teeth, leading to heart, liver or kidney problems.
Proper cleaning of the teeth is the first step. This includes Ultrasonic cleaning and scaling of the teeth and polishing.
Animals need to be anesthetized during the procedure so deep cleaning below the gum line can be completed.
Be aware that delaying proper dental care may compromise your pets health.


House Training A Young Puppy

House training a young puppy is easier to than an older dog. Some excellent things to remember when you want to house train a dog fast include the value of crate training. When the dog has a desire to go to the bathroom, he will make it known by barking while he is in the crate.
You will also know that he probably has to pee when you see him sniffing the crate or walking around in a circle. These are tell tale signs that he needs to go. When you see these things take your dog for a walk outside.

It is vital to bring your dog to the same spot during his walk outside everyday when you see that he has to go to the bathroom. If you make it a point to be home with your dog and be available yourself or have someone that can take your dog outside after its meals, playtime and naps, you will be able to house train a dog fast.

Just remember to be consistent and give positive reinforcement to encourage your dog when he has made the correct choice of going outside. NEVER rub your dogs nose in their mistake when the occasional accident happens. Positive training and paying close attention to your dog will always give the best results.
