National Dog Day!!!Recognize that today is National Dog Day! All cats step back and revel in our glory.

Take the time to appreciate your dog on National Dog Day. Also, take your dog for an extra long walk, give your dog an extra scoop of dog food, and give your dog an extra treat on this day.

As I ponder what to do on this wonderful day, I appreciate my owners and what they do for me and what I do for them.

Well I finally decided what to do. I am going to do what I do best…sleep.

Happy National Dog Day!

The “little gal” took me to the vet this week.  I always enjoy the ride.  The window cracked, my head sticking out the crack in the windows, and the wide-eyed look that says “I am on top of the world.”  Also, I enjoy barking all the way there.  The “little gal doesn’t like it but I am showing my wild side.

I had a little blood work done and I hope to get the results soon.  While at the vet, I had a little cosmetic work done.  I had a “dog zit” on my forehead and the vet safely popped it.  I am once again perfect.  As the famous philosopher, Billy Crystal, once said, “It is better to look good than to feel good.”  The Crazy Beagle looks good!

The earth is in our hands.  Earth Day is on April 22nd. Before you know it, Earth Day will be here. From this Crazy Beagle’s point of view, why shouldn’t everyday be Earth Day?

Here’s the reason I ask the question: because a more natural earth is a healthy earth for us dogs. Us beagles walk and play on lawns that are full of chemicals and pesticides and are dangerous for us. The more we can use natural solutions, the safer the world becomes for us dogs.

Here are some solutions you can use to make it safer for us dogs: http://scrnch.me/EarthDay

Happy Earth Day!

It’s is another beautiful Sunday. I can’t wait for the “little gal” to take me for a Crazy Beagle walk.

This is the fourth and final installation of that can harm my fellow dogs and beagles. This installment the Crazy Beagle will be concentrating on signs of poisoning and how to find immediate treatments to save us dogs.

General Signs Of Poisoning

Though there can be signs that are specific to each toxin, the most common are:

• Abdominal Pain (your dog may whine and his stomach will be tender to the touch)
• Coma
• Convulsions
• Diarrhea
• Drooling
• Irregular Heartbeat
• Labored Breathing
• Lethargy
• Swollen Limbs
• Vomiting

Immediate Treatment of a Poisoned Pet

If your dog is exhibiting any of these symptoms or even if you just suspect he ingested something toxic, call a pet poison hotline such as the ASPCA (1-888-426-4435) or the Pet Poison Hotline (1-800-213-6180). Your local ASPCA might also have a hotline.

If possible, have someone simultaneously call your vet or the emergency vet. They can tell you what to do immediately and prepare for your immediate arrival.

There are home remedies out there such as charcoal and sodium sulphate but it is best to get professional advice before administering these.

My dogs, take the time to educate your owners so that you remain healthy. Remember, the more healthy dogs, the more we can fight the cats.
