But the instant adoption of a new pet is not usually a wise solution for many reasons—acquiring a new pet requires much thought, planning and, often, much impatient waiting.While you wait, would you like to do something good for pets in general and maybe for one needy animal in particular by giving it a foster home while it waits for its forever family?Photo by James StripesI met Teri and James when their Boxers were puppies being 'mentored' by my golden retriever.

Do you know an adult dog that has never been housetrained? Maybe the dog lives with a friend of yours, a family member, a neighbor? Or … does the dog live with you? It can't be pleasant, sharing a home with a dog who eliminates freely in that home. It's smelly, it's unhealthy, and it's embarrassing.Not all adult dogs that aren't housetrained are 'pandemic pups,' adopted during the lockdown, but some certainly are: I've been told about several of them myself. Whatever the reason, there are and always have been adult dogs who've never had the chance to learn to eliminate outside as a preference, instead of inside as a convenience.

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, has started to erupt, prompting volcanic ash and debris to fall nearby. The U.S. Geological Survey says the eruption began late Sunday night in the summit caldera of the volcano on the Big Island. Early Monday, it said lava flows were contained within the summit area and weren't threatening nearby communities. The agency warned residents at risk from Mauna Loa lava flows should review their eruption preparations. Scientists had been on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes at the summit of the volcano, which last erupted in 1984.

It's not a mystery! Dogs don't come when they're called because humans who call them don't make ‘coming when called' rewarding to the dog.Worse yet, some humans make ‘coming when called' punishing to the dog.It often starts out innocently, especially with puppies. Humans are so easily smitten. We coo lovingly, get down on the floor to cuddle. We giggle gently at the puppy's every action. The puppy is so cute!We pick a name. We're so excited. We repeat the name endlessly, encouraging the pup to respond, with whatever works—soft hand clapping, stepping backwards, happy faces, happy voices.
