Joke: Why did the dog keep checking the oven?
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | This Dog Got Courtside Seats at the Lakers
Brodie the Goldendoodle got an opportunity that very few people can afford—courtside seats at a Lakers game. It makes sense when you find out that this dog is already a celebrity and fits right in alongside Kevin Bacon in these coveted seats.
In the last year, Brodie has made about $1.5 million from brand partnerships. That's more than the average NBA salary per year. His owner, Cliff Brush Jr, said the 4-year-old service dog gets pretty much anything he wants. Brush does all the content creation and manages the social media accounts for Brodie, who has over 15 million followers.
Brush had to make a decision in 2021 when working for the city of Boca Raton. His boss noticed how much time he was spending on Brodie's social media accounts, and he made the decision to leave the job and go full-time with his pup by his side. Now, Brodie has had the chance to appear at a Florida Marlins game, flown to Canada for an International partnership, and got to sit front row at this Lakers game.
Sounds like these two were meant to be together. Plus, it gives those of us who take a million videos of our dogs hope that we might make it big in the future as content creators. Keep up the good work, Brodie! | | Are You Thinking About a Bernese Mountain Dog?
When deciding on a breed for your family, it's important to understand some of the common personality traits of different breeds and be prepared for the grooming, feeding, and training work that needs to happen. The Bernese Mountain Dog is a popular breed in the US and one that many families are interested in, so let's cover some important information.
Bernese mountain dogs are one of four varieties of Swiss mountain dogs. They were bred for work in the Alps. They have long, silky, tri-colored coats. Their hair does shed quite a bit. Mountain work requires a lot of strength, so these dogs typically weigh between 80 and 115 pounds. Although the dogs are large, they are incredibly friendly and even-tempered. It's a great breed for families with young children.
One important thing to understand about larger dogs is that they have a shorter lifespan. Bernese mountain dogs live seven to ten years typically. They are also prone to cancer, with around 10% developing the disease before they turn six years old.
As puppies, Bernese mountain dogs will require time and patience to train. As they grow up, they develop into obedient and loyal dogs. Work with a professional trainer for help when they are young, and make sure to socialize them. If you put in the work early on, you'll have a wonderful family dog for their entire life. | | Healthy Homemade Treat Ideas For Your Pup

Gumbo is a dog that loves adventure. His owners bring him along on trips to the coast and to hike to waterfalls all over the Pacific Northwest. But they had another tag along on their adventures because Gumbo could not be without his best friend. It wasn't too much extra work, though, because Gumbo's best friend is a plushie named Shrimp.
The pair became so popular as they visited some of the most beautiful destinations around the United States that they now have their own Instagram account.

Collagen supplementation isn't just for humans; it can also greatly benefit your furry companion's joint health. As dogs age, they may experience joint issues such as arthritis or general wear and tear, impacting their mobility and quality of life. Fortunately, collagen supplements offer a natural and effective way to support their joints. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to bones, joints, and connective tissues. By supplementing your dog's diet with collagen, you can help maintain the integrity of these structures, promoting joint flexibility and reducing discomfort. Hydrolyzed collagen, in particular, is broken down into smaller molecules, making it easier for your dog's body to absorb and utilize. This form of collagen supplementation is often found in powdered or liquid supplements, making it simple to incorporate into your dog's meals. Regular collagen supplementation can help reduce inflammation in the joints, alleviate stiffness, and support overall joint health. It's especially beneficial for senior dogs or breeds prone to joint issues. Before starting any supplement regimen for your dog, it's essential to consult with your veterinarian to ensure it's suitable for your pet's specific needs and health conditions. With the right approach, collagen supplementation can be a valuable addition to your dog's wellness routine, helping them stay active, happy, and comfortable for years to come. | | Collagen Is Fantastic For Our Joints Too!
