My Friends in the Neighborhood

Bosco here again, wanted to share with you a little bit about some of my best friends (dogs of course). 

Some of buddies in my hood, can be found dig’n or sniff’n about. Two characters in particular are Sunny & Siris. They get to hang outside all day, chasin their tails and talkin to the birds, and they get to bask in the sun all day long if they want on these cool beds that their owners got for them from this place called Rover Company I heard their owner telling mine.

Sunny is a Bernese Mountain Dog; meaning she’s quite a big dog.  The Bernese Mountain, like every other dog, is descended from the wolf.  The breed was used as an all purpose farm dog, for guarding property and to drive dairy cattle long distances from the farm to the alpine pastures.  Sunny doesn’t have to drive dairy cattle, but she certainly gets a good workout chasing those pesky UPS drivers away from the driveway.  She certainly appreciates having a cool bed to crash in that her owner bought for her.

  

Siris is an English bulldog, which is a muscular heavy dog that is defined by it’s wrinkled face and the distinctive pushed-in nose.  In the US, the size of a typical mature male is about 45 pounds and that for mature females is about 45 pounds for a Standard English Bulldog.  Breeders have worked to breed aggression out of the breed, and as such the dog is known to be of generally good temperament. Bulldogs can be so attached to home and family that they will not venture out of the yard without a human companion.  As you can see, like Sunny, Siris definitely appreciates a nice relaxing afternoon at home curled up in a cozy bed.

 

Well that quite enough about those two for now, don’t want them to go Hollywood on me. Time for my quote of the day.

“Dogs” Laugh, but they laugh with their tails. What puts man in a higher state of evolution is that he had got his laugh on the right end.

Have wonderful day with your pets everyone. Bye for now Bosco.

Durable Off-Ground Sleepers (D.O.G.S)

Have you ever wanted to show your dog that you really care?  Does your dog sleeping in your bed just not work for you anymore?  If so, then you need to check out our most popular product, the Durable Off-Ground Sleepers.  They are perfect for dogs of any size, and I can honestly tell you that I sleep in mine every night.

I was so excited when I found out my new owner had gone out of his way to make my sleeping arrangment much more comfortable.  (I was used to sleeping on the floor).  These sturdy beds have molded plastic frames that flex with my weight!  They are incredibly strong, and they can hold up to 250 lbs. 

The best part about my bed is the fact that it provides for 360 degree air circulation.  This prevents coat matting, and skin irritations.  The cover on my bed does not hold fleas, moisture, odor, or disease.  Basically, they are the best bed any dog could ever ask for.  I sometimes even use mine to take naps in the afternoon.  No more hardwood floors and fleas from the carpet.  Get your dog one of these beds, and you’ll notice how much happier he is all the time.  Dogs deserve the best.  Show us that you really care,  Bosco

“A little bit about me” by Bosco

Hi Folks, it’s me, Bosco! As I promised in my first blog, I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am about 6 six years old. I do not know exactly how old I am on account that when my owners came to the Humane Society to adopt me, my file stated that I was 8 yrs. old and that was well over a year ago. When they took  me to the vet. for the first time, he did not think I could be any older than about 5. I don’t know how the rest of the examination went, I was so excited to hear that I must have been much younger I didn’t pay attention to anything else the doc said. Supposedly I am a Chow/Shepard mix but just like my age, the details that are given all too often to the great folks over at the Humane Society when dogs and cats are being brought in are sketchy.

I am a very happy dog. I have a great family and they treat me so much better than my last family. I was so nervous the first couple of weeks I moved in, my owners had to carry me outside just so I could “go”, and at 80 lbs, that is not an easy task. So, they hired a trainer to see what was wrong with me. She told them that I had been severely abused by my previous owners and that it was going to take a lot of love and time for me to get to the point where I was not running for the closet every time I heard a strange sound which seemed to be all the time.

Well,  a year or so later, things are much better. I now have a sister dog, named Roxie. We saw a picture of her on line and we all went to the Humane Society together  to see if she and I could get along. We seemed to hit it off right away although I noticed something different about her. She only has 3 legs! But don’t tell her that, she does just fine with the 3 and can run circles around me. We also have two cats in the house. I guess I should be thankful as the cats were living in the house long before Roxie and I came along. Sometimes they act as if it is their house, hmmmm. I am convinced that Oscar, the large male cat, thinks he is a dog in a cat’s body. He always wants to hang out with me and Roxie and every time we get to go out and play, Oscar has to come with! Basil is one of those cats that does not really like to be around anyone. Not sure what her story is, but I will tell you all this……I wonder who was the first to say “fighting like cats and dogs”, ’cause around here, we all pretty much get along just fine.

Well, that is quite enough about me. However; I would like to share my cat and dog quotes of the week with you.

As Samuel Butler once wrote: “The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may-make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too”!

Ellen Perry Berkeley was once quoted as saying: “As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat”!

Have a wonderful day with your pets everyone. Bye for now, Bosco
