Dogs are naturally sociable animals. Being left on their own all day is quite an unnatural (and boring) experience for many dogs.

We chain them, use them for experiments, eat them in some countries and make them wear funny sweaters in others. The most famous example of military dogs is the Vietnam dogs who faithfully served American soldiers and then were abandoned to unknown fates after we left the country.

The water this Northern Pintail is in has human poo in it, which completely ruins the experience of seeing this bird. I know part of the experience of birding is taking in the beauty of the outdoors, but (call me crazy) I’m actually in it for the birds. Look beyond the mountains of dog poo here and there will be birds.

You may have heard of nursing homes or assisted living facilities bringing in dogs and cats to give their residents a little “pet therapy.” The seniors get a positive experience from interacting with the birds. But what about birds? One enterprising New Orleans-area bird rescuer is doing just that. But that’s a whole ’nother rant.)

Such meditative birding is, for me, the heart of the experience. There were five of us, and two dogs, traveling in a flotilla composed of a raft, a canoe, and a kayak. There was plenty of time to try to convince the dogs that the people in the canoe were not in imminent danger and did not need to be rescued.

Or was I, like so many birders, doomed to eternal restlessness, always investing somewhere else with the glamor of new birds and new experiences? There’s a movement at the corner of my eye, and an off-leash dog bounds towards me (not an issue you have to deal with on pelagics much.) Could I go home again?

Sneezing, runny nose, headache, even fever: these are the things that we human beings experience when we have a cold. But having a cold is not just exclusive to us humans as our beloved pet dogs can get a cold too. But how do we determine if our dog has a cold? And most importantly, what to do if your dog gets a cold?

Having a pet is a wonderful and rewarding experience. There’s a reason so many of us call our dogs our best friends. However, all too often, dog lovers choose a dog breed that they want without first considering how well that breed will fit in with their lifestyle. Living Space.

The week before I had tried to walk this trail with my parents and son in the baby jogger, but the constant need to veer off the pathway to avoid those less observant of CDC guidance made the experience more stressful than enjoyable. The trails may have been buzzing with joggers, dog-walkers, and bikers, but the water was empty.

It was bit of a traumatic experience for me and I vowed to never own an animal again. But as I began my search for a new family member at local shelters, I noticed that something was terribly wrong—I couldn’t hold the dogs I was considering adopting for more than 5 minutes before going into a sneezing convulsion.

Many dogs are rescued out of abusive or traumatic situations, causing them to exhibit a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems. Sadly, however, one of the reasons people are hesitant to adopt these dogs is because of the assumption that such dogs are always “damaged goods,&# and can’t be re-trained.

Seriously though, we were walking our dog at the local park when out of the blue she said (and she is not into birding at all) “ You know what would be great. It is my opinion from personal experience that there is really no point in buying the BTX without the extender. I lack proof of this but she did, honestly. This one doesn’t.

When adopting a rescue there are added considerations on selecting the right dog for your lifestyle. 1) What is the dog’s temperament? Make a mental note of the dog’s reaction to touch and sounds.

Luckily attacks are rare, but we made plans to stay in a refuge cabin at the point, and joined up with a group that had brought a dog, which acts as an early warning system.

The Elegant Trogon prefers drier habitats, with a predominance of oaks rather than conifers, and in my experience is much harder to find. It has an odd call that sounds vaguely like a barking dog, which I cannot imitate. If this one were Elegant , that white of the eyering would extend in an arc down toward the neck.
