Which breed of dog is Scooby Doo?
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | Longest-Serving Fire Dog in Britain Finally Retires
Reqs is a Labrador who worked for the Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service for eleven years. He worked as a fire investigator and helped with more than 500 investigations during his service.
Reqs joined the fire department when he turned one year old. He has an impeccable sense of smell to help detect accelerants at fire scenes. After each successful investigation, he gets rewarded with his favorite treat: A tennis ball! Additionally, he always wore his protective boots and never entered a scene until it was safe.
In addition to fire investigations, Reqs also assisted with other investigations such as murder and false imprisonment. One particularly memorable moment was when Reqs located a dog in an explosion scene. Congrats Reqs! It sounds like the crew was lucky to have you. | | | Image courtesy of Dogington Post. | | Recipe: Do(g)-It-Yourself Fall Dog Treats
These dog treats are a perfect fall snack made from just a few simple ingredients. Homemade dog treats are great because you know exactly what's in them. This recipe is gluten-free because it's made with oats as the base. Plus, crunchy treats help keep their teeth cleaner and last longer.
Oat Cinnamon Apple Treats
You'll need: 3 cups of oats, two apples, two teaspoons of ground cinnamon, one tablespoon of flax seed (optional), and two tablespoons of honey. - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Put two cups of oats in a food processor and grind it to a powder. Add to a large bowl.
- Roughly chop the apples. Remove the seeds and core. Grind the apples until it resembles apple sauce. Add the apples to the bowl as well.
- Add the remaining oats, cinnamon, flax seed, and honey to the bowl. Mix everything up until combined.
- Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thick and sprinkle some flour to keep it from sticking. Use a fun cookie cutter to cut the treats into shapes. Put the cutouts on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the treats for 15 minutes. Turn off the oven, leave the cookies inside, and let them sit for two hours. This will help make the cookies crunchier. Store treats in an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to three weeks.

Dog owners teach their dogs a lot about permission in training. It's baked into training the dog to "sit and stay." How often do you think about the other way around? If you want to pet and cuddle your dog, how do you know if you have your dog's permission? They have plenty of ways to give you signs and communicate their feelings, you just have to pay attention.
Dogs need some time alone, like when they are tired or not feeling well, and it's important to recognize that as responsible dog owners. Wait for consent. If the dog moves away, it likely means they would like a little space. You can wait for them to initiate contact by coming to you and giving you a nudge, letting you know that they want you to continue.
Other signs to watch for in dogs that might mean "no" - Turning their head away.
- Flattening their ears.
- Yawning.
- Licking their lips.
- Shifting their weight away from you.
- Growling, snarling, snapping.
- Freezing.
It's important that you protect your dog from new people or other animals when out walking. A stranger should never approach your dog and assume they can pet it. Ask the person if they will put out their hand and allow your dog to sniff, then you can watch the dog's response to see if they are interested. It is important to teach children so they know not to approach any dog they encounter.
Many groomers and vets practice with consent as well. It creates a more comfortable environment for your dog. They obviously need to do some uncomfortable things for the dog's health, but using positive reinforcement and building trust will help. | | | Image courtesy of The Dog People. | | Did You Know:
