Does your dog have a favorite toy they prefer over all the others in the toy box? This story might give you some ideas. Charlie is a golden retriever, and his favorite toy is a plush duck named Mr. Quakers. He even sleeps with it at night.
Charlie's owner decided to do something very special for his dog. He dressed up as an adult human-sized version of Mr. Quackers and surprised Charlie. He could not contain his excitement. What a fun treat for Charlie!

Many dogs are lucky enough to tag along with their owners for special days in the office, and other dogs are even more lucky and have parents who work from home. William might have everyone beat, though. He's a two-year-old Dachshund with a special perch to hang out in beside his dad, Andrew Mueller. Mueller is the founder and CEO of SeatMate, a company that is devoted to creating the perfect place for your pet to hang out while you're working.
William hangs out on a two-seat chair so that Andrew can get some work done without having to be far from his friend. Many breeds like to sit on top of their humans at all times, so his chair allows people to get work done without banishing the dog to the couch or a different room.
The first prototype was built in Mueller's dad's garage, and the passion project grew from there. A new and updated model will be available starting in the summer of 2024, and Willie himself tests each version. You can purchase the attachment, which works with most standard office chairs, or the full set. Get on the wait list if you think this is just the office accessory you need. | | Tasty Holiday Dishes For You And Your Pup!
With the holiday season very much upon us, our pups love being part of the festive fun! One of the best parts of the holidays is the delicious food. Did you know some holiday food can be shared with your pup? Here are some delicious (and healthy!) human foods that are safe to share with your pup: - Lean Turkey: Turkey is a staple of many holiday dinners, and the good news is that it can be a healthy treat for your dog too. Ensure the turkey is boneless, skinless, and well-cooked with no fat or seasoning. Turkey is a great source of protein, making it a festive and nutritious addition to your dog's holiday menu!
- Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a nutrient-rich option that dogs can enjoy during the holiday season. Packed with vitamins and fiber, these orange delights are healthy and delicious! Plain-cooked sweet potatoes are a tasty and healthy holiday side dish for your pup!
- Pumpkin: Pumpkin is a versatile and healthy food that can be incorporated into your dog's holiday diet. Whether canned or fresh, plain pumpkin provides a good source of fiber and can aid in digestion. It's a great addition to your dog's regular food or can be used to create homemade treats. Just make sure it's pure pumpkin without added sugars or spices.

Many dogs start twisting their heads when humans talk to them. It's like they are responding to your questions and conversation. There are quite a few theories from veterinarians and scientists. Some think it's a way for dogs to show that they are engaged, similar to a nod from a human. Recent studies have shown that it could be a sign that your dog is trying to understand you better.
Many animals use the different sides of their brains to process information. Dogs will sometimes wag their tail to one side more often or sniff more out of one nostril than the other. Some scientists believe that it's the same asymmetry that causes them to tilt their heads when thinking.
Another reason that scientists believe dogs may tilt their heads is to see and hear a little better or from a different angle. Many species move to respond to sounds or stimuli in their environment. Hopefully,e more studies will be done in the future to help us learn even more about this adorable behavioral trait.
