Why do dogs lift their legs when urinating?

The Best Kind of Email for a Dog
This owner made a hilarious video on Instagram where she reads a pretend email out loud using all of her dog's favorite words and phrases. The result is incredibly adorable, although we do worry a bit that the dog's neck might be tired after this.
Recipe: Do(g)-It-Yourself Apple and Peanut Butter Treats
Remember coming home from school and indulging in your favorite after-school treat? This simple DIY dog treat was inspired by those after-school moments. Give this to your pup for a little pick-me-up in the afternoon.

DIY Healthy Apple Peanut Butter Dog Treats
You'll need: Ripe green or red apples, peanut butter (xylitol-free), an apple-shaped cookie cutter, a knife, and a potato peeler
  1. Rinse the apple and use a potato peeler to remove the skin.
  2. Cut the apple into slices. Use the cookie cutter to make small apple shapes (any shape will work).
  3. Dab a little peanut butter onto the "stem" part of the cutout. 
  4. Serve your dog the fun treats.

What We're Digging
In just 604 days, a $10,000 investment in this opportunity would have secured an eye-popping $4,900 profit. That's a 27.3% net annualized return – beating 470 of S&P 500 stocks over the same time period.

So what was it? A fractionalized painting from Masterworks, the blue-chip art investing platform. (They do say investing is an art, not a science…)

While not every painting will see those gains, every one of Masterworks' 14 exits has returned a profit to investors, totaling more than $45 million in sales.

Questions to Ask a Veterinary Oncologist
Just like humans, some dogs will end up being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. If this happens to your family, you will likely be referred to a veterinary oncologist. The process can feel overwhelming at the moment, especially as you are working through your own emotions and want to take care of your pup the best way you can. 

If you find yourself in this situation, or are just curious about things to be prepared for, this dog mom put together 11 questions that you should ask your veterinary oncologist:
  • What are our treatment options?
  • What are remission rates and remission periods for each treatment option?
  • What are the schedules for each treatment option?
  • How much is each option broken out by week and also by month? 
  • What are the risks/side effects of each treatment option? Ask if there are treatment options for those side effects and how you recognize them.
  • Do they use the smallest or strongest dose possible to treat? Each doctor will have a different theory, so it's best to understand how this doctor approaches the treatment.
  • What are the signs the treatment is working or not working?
  • Are there any special diet recommendations?
  • What are the second and third options if the first treatment option fails?
  • Are there any recommended supplements you should give OR not give while being treated?
  • Are there any medications we can have on hand ahead of time in case of side effects or give as a preventative?
