The Peruvian Paso horse is a saddle horse that is well known for its smooth ride.  This is because its preferred gait, known as the Paso llano, is distinguished by a natural four-beat, lateral step that is between the walk and the canter.   It is this beautiful natural gait, along with their quality temperament that allows these horses to become such beautiful show horses. The ...

The Budweiser Clydesdales were formally introduced to the Busch family in Saint Louis on April 7, 1933 when they were celebrating the repeal of prohibition.    But these grand animals originated in Scotland, and in my opinion, are the most magnificent and beautiful animal on God’s green earth.Some of the characteristics that breeders look for in these horses include its balance of w...

Why is it that just about every dog owner wants to dress up their dogs in some of the silliest costumes ever, especially on Halloween?  There was a time when I bought into all the hype about dressing up my poodle.  But that was when my children first left home and I found myself suffering from ‘empty nest syndrome’.I finally realized that I was transferring my maternal instincts to my do...

This article is very well written, and it is obvious that the author is a lover of cats.  Being a huge cat lover myself, I am always on the lookout for websites about cats.  And this one is great!  I enjoyed reading the article about Maine Coon cats so much that I actually went back and read many of the other articles posted on this site.  The only thing missing was pictures of...

I love this article.  It reminds me so much of the dogs I used to have.  Like the author says, our dogs think of us as being their pack and they try to do everything we do.  I owned poodles in the past and every one of them thought they should be allowed to eat everything that I ate.  So it was difficult to keep them on a good nutritious dog food.  But I agree with th...

This was a fun article to read.  Its funny how we tend to dress our dogs up in cute little costumes, myself included, but not many do the same with cats.  However, I would never have thought about Halloween treats for dogs.  But I think it’s a great idea. What I liked about this article was that the author not only included a list of healthy snacks that can be given to your dog inst...

Mr BigBoy before I brought Tashi home...Then I brought Tashi home...And look at Mr BigBoy now...And the two of them...If you have to work all day and you have pets, sometimes it is better for the pet if you have two.  Like children, they get lonely and need constant companionship.   When I only owned one pet, whether it was a cat or a dog, I found that I had to take the pet to the v...

We all agree that all pets are loyal to their masters, some better than others.  I like the way the author points out all the things that are required of the owner if he or she expects the pet to remain loyal.  You have to give it time to adjust to its new surroundings and to you.  If you do not treat the pet properly, it will not remain loyal.The most important requirement the arti...
