Most People Love When Summer Comes, But This Dog Just Can’t Handle The Snow Melting

Mr.Dog — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:44:08 +0000

For most of the U.S., summer is in full-swing… The snow has melted, flowers are in bloom, and the sun is out.

But for one backyard inhabited by an adorable black Lab, winter just won’t leave. And it’s probably for the best…

You see…this pup really doesn’t want summer to come.

But there’s nothing he can do about it.

No matter how diligently he guards this lone snow pile…

It continues to dwindle every day.

Sigh…

You can’t say he isn’t dedicated to his cause.

The denial is strong with this one.

“Winter, don’t leave!”

Oh dear…

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Someone get this pup one of these, stat!

The Chemicals You Use on Your Lawn Have Been Linked to Cancer in Dogs

Mr.Dog — Mon, 30 May 2016 17:36:30 +0000

With spring here and summer right around the corner, people are starting to do some spring cleaning. For many, this also marks the start of the lawn care and gardening season, which means many people have their lawns sprayed with chemicals for various reasons. If you’re a dog owner however, you may want to reconsider the use of said chemicals, as they’ve been found to have a direct link to not one but two types of cancer in dogs.

According to a study that took over six years to complete, many of the chemicals used can raise your dog’s chances of getting CML, or canine malignant lymphoma. The study too place at the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Tuft’s University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, and studied all of the main stream, professionally administered chemicals in use today.

The dogs that find themselves at the top of the risk pool for CML are often dogs over 50 pounds, and were living in homes where pesticides and herbicides are used. The study also took into account for lawn care products with insect growth regulators, which are also known as chemical killing agents.

The other type of cancer that has been linked to these chemicals is bladder cancer. The dogs were often found to have high levels of the toxins in their urine, which has to pass through the bladder eventually. Combine the fact that many dogs spend a good deal of time laying on the grass in the family yard all summer, with the fact that many of these toxins can be carried on the wind and into the lives of dogs whose family doesn’t use these chemicals.

The studies conducted here were only one over a six year period, which normally isn’t long enough to get a good grasp of everything that is going on. However, all of the dogs studied had alarming amounts of toxins and chemicals in their systems. All of this, just or a weed free lawn during the summer. It’s something to seriously consider, because if it’s bad for them, it’s probably bad for us too.

Before This Pool Gets Drained At The End Of Summer, Something Adorable Happens

Mr.Dog — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 00:24:13 +0000

The dog days of summer may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun with our four-legged friends in the sun! One outdoor swimming pool in Calgary, Canada, had the brilliant idea of inviting local dog owners to bring their pups over for the last day of the season. The dogs had an incredible time taking a plunge in the pool and best of all, it helped raise money for a charity.

I’m super jealous I didn’t get an invite to this adorable day of fun, but I guess I can settle for watching the video a few more times.

When Puppy Wants To Play With The Hose, Mommy Makes Sure There’s No Mess

Mr.Dog — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:04:35 +0000

It’s hot out, and the only thing that this tiny puppy wants is a drink of water. After an afternoon of running and playing with his brothers and sisters, he’s all tuckered out.

But when he can’t find a bowl, he has to ask mom for help. What she does next is so adorable.

Nothing like a little teamwork, am I right? Hopefully the pup paid mom back with lots of snuggles!

This Lab Knows That When You Want To Cool Down, You Have To Get A Little Wet

Mr.Dog — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 01:52:10 +0000

As the summer heat rises, it’s easy to understand how someone might get excited about any chance to cool down.

This labrador puppy might be just a bit too excited, though, when she decides to fill her little pool up all by herself. The cutie cannot wait for her humans to get the job done, but she’s either too worked up to focus or too confused to keep the hose from getting away from her.

These Cute Dogs Are Super Happy To Chow Down On Their Own Sweet Ice Cream Treats

Mr.Dog — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:10:17 +0000

Sure, it’s not exactly hard to make our canine friends happy. A round of fetch, an unexpected scrap from the table, or just a good, old-fashioned belly rub can send them straight to puppy nirvana. It’s one of the many amazing things that make them so gosh darn lovable.

Another surefire way to make your dog super happy? Set a nice, frosty bowl of (pooch-friendly!) ice cream in front of their paws. These cuties certainly seem to enjoy it!

Oh how wonderful to be a child again, just enjoying the simple pleasures in life!!

It’s Summertime, And Even Puppies Know How To Enjoy The Season!

Mr.Dog — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:48:23 +0000

Summertime brings back many of my favorite memories. The warm weather and cool summer nights always remind me of heading to the beach for the day, sitting outside with friends until late in the evening, and going on family road trips.

However, after seeing what this adorable pup does to a summer food staple, I think I may have a new favorite memory!

The little guy sure looks like he’s enjoying the coming summer season. Just look at him go!

Watching These Corgis Enjoy Their Pool Party Will Absolutely Make Your Day

Mr.Dog — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 00:03:07 +0000

They say that spring is here, but I’m not buying it. I’ve yet to stash away my winter coat, fuzzy snow boots, and scarves in fear that there’s still one last April snowstorm in store. There’s nothing I’d like more than to jump into a pool on a warm summer day….

Just like these happy Corgis.

I’ve never been more conflicted between cuteness and jealousy. Their tiny legs just have to move so fast in order to get around…I think cute wins out on this one. Besides, summer will be here soon enough, even if it doesn’t feel like it!

What Happens When A Corgi Gets To Go To The Water Park? The Cutest Thing Ever!

Mr.Dog — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 00:20:16 +0000

Summertime means popsicles, beach days, warm evenings, and BBQs. But for this little Corgi, the summer is synonymous with afternoons at the water park.

If you think you live for the epic hours spent splashing in the countless pools or taking turns down the long water slides, you haven’t met this little guy. His love for water parks far exceeds your love for…well, anything.

I knew some dogs loved water, but I’ve never seen this kind of devotion. When he catches the first bucket dump, you can really see how excited he is! If I could bring him to the water park every time I went, I’d definitely be more excited to go.

Dogs Who Can’t Handle the Hot Summer Sun

Mr.Dog — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 23:05:45 +0000

Have you ever looked at your pup and wondered how they can stand all that heat in the summertime under all that fur?! Well, they can’t. Sometimes they need a little help cooling down and these pictures prove it!
Here are some dogs who are praying for some cooler weather!

Just leave a pile of ice, your dog will thank you for it.

Nothing like a chilled beer to cool you down.

Just shhhh while he cools himself down in a bucket.

This is the life.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Seriously, they do.

An ice pillow fit for a fluffy prince.

This Chihuahua is just loving it.

Never too big for a bucket of cold water.

Tongue is out=happiness.

Just spread it out.

This is his new hiding place for the summer.

Best seat in the house.

Just chillin’

Divas keep cool with sophistication.
