Tiny was my dog, a beautiful English Mastiff. He recently passed away and took a piece of my heart with him when he died. He was a wonderful, sweet dog in so many ways. He was very friendly and never met a stranger. He loved to be petted and rubbed. He really liked to have his belly rubbed.

I am happy to know that we where able to honor Tiny with a pet memorial urns Or Urns for pet ashes We got a photo pet urn and were able to take our favorite picture of Tiny and now we have it to remember him by.

Tiny was a big comfort to me in his own way. He would stay by my feet when I sat in my favorite chair to read a book or watch television. He would accompany me to the door when the doorbell rang as if he were my strong protector. I will miss him every time I sit in my chair or open the front door.

Tiny had many personal items around the house. He had a special pillow beside my bed where he slept every single night. His toys are still strewn around the house because I miss him so much that I can’t bear to put them away just yet. His chew toys and bones are all over the floor in memory to him. His food and water bowl are still on the kitchen floor where they always sat. I know I will have to put these items away in due time.

I know that Tiny’s soul is in a good place because he was such a good dog and companion. I buried his body in a special place in the backyard and put up a marker with his name on it. I want his memory to live on forever for those who knew him.

I hope that Tiny can rest in peace in his special place in the yard. I have set up a bench next to his marker so I can go and sit next to him when I miss him. I can think about all of the good times we had together like the day I first got him, the day he learned to follow my commands, and the day we spent cleaning the carpets when he tracked mud everywhere. Tiny, I love you and I miss you so much.

Losing a pet can be a traumatic experience, especially for those who see their pet as an important piece of their family. Thus, it is normal to experience a period of grief and mourning. When this happens, it is important to take the time to deal with your emotions and to work your way through this pain. You might want to purchase pet urns for your lost pet.
First off, listen to your feelings and articulate them in as many different ways as possible. Talk to friends and family members. Additionally, you should try and express how you feel in other ways too: try having a memorial for your pet, writing poetry, or even starting a journal.
You should also keep as busy as possible. You need to live your live. You can take time off of work and from seeing friends and family members, but you do not want to isolate yourself for too long. Make plans with friends, join a support group, and try to do good things for yourself while you can.
Lastly, give yourself some time before you do animal related things like going to the zoo or watching a dog show. If you are thinking about getting a new pet, be sure that you are going into it with the right intentions. You do not want to get the same kind of pet. You can not replace the pet you lost, and this is important to realize when looking for a new animal to bring home with you.

The decision to breed your cat should be made fully understanding the rather large commitment that comes along with it. A female cat, commonly known as the queen, requires precise care before, during and after her pregnancy. Likewise, each newborn kitten needs to be properly cared for, and eventually placed in good home. It is for this reason the decision to breed should not be taken lightly, and be well thought out prior to beginning the process.

First and foremost, both cats involved should be of appropriate age before breeding. This means they have reached adulthood, which is between 18 and 24 months for a female, and about 18 months for a male. It is also important for the female to reach her ideal adult weight, as this aids in all stages of the breeding process, from conception to giving birth (queening).

It is important to schedule an appointment to visit you veterinarian for a complete health evaluation prior to breeding season. It is crucial that the cat be examined completely, and be free from ear mites, ringworm, parasites and fleas. Both the parents should be tested for FIV (feline HIV) and FeLV (feline leukemia) and be current on all of their vaccinations. In addition, there are other genetic conditions that can be of concern, and should be appropriately discussed and tested for prior to breeding.

A queen will be in heat (polyestrous) during certain times of the season and will generally cycle several times if she does not breed. They are also reflex or induced ovulators, meaning they need to breed in order to stimulate ovulation. At the commencement of her estrus cycle, the queen may become vocal and crave attention, or roll around and knead her paws. Shortly after this stage, the queen should be taken to her mate for breeding. After the initial breeding she will become aggressive toward the male, who should be provided with a safe place to retreat. She will then begin to groom herself and reject advances from anyone, eventually displaying receptive behavior and starting the mating process once again.

Studies show that a queen that has been bred three times daily for the first three days of her estrus cycle commonly has a 90% chance of ovulation. Since a queen will sometimes breed with more than one male while in heat, it is advised that you carefully monitor her activity. Not only will this prevent the litter from potentially having two or more fathers, but it will help you to better determine her due date. If breeding was successful, her pregnancy will last approximately sixty-three days. Subsequently, the queen’s estrus cycle will return approximately three weeks after she ceases nursing her kittens.

When beginning to train your pet, you first need to remember that it is going to take a lot of patience and consistency. To be successful, make sure that you are always very calm and in control. Pet training can be enjoyable for both you and your pet.

Praising your pet for good behavior is important, but too much can also be harmful. Reward good behavior with a phrase like ‘good boy’ or give a small treat. If you praise too much at one time, or for too long or cuddle with your pet too much for reward, he may forget why he is being rewarded. Simply state your good phrase or give your treat and go on. Your pet will soon realize the reward is for his good behavior.

Pet training should always be positive and not involve punishment. If a pet is punished for an action done, let’s say put in the crate for an accident or chained in the yard for running away, he will not remember what action he is being punished for. It is better to give treats for good behavior and just simply do not reward for bad behavior. Your pet will learn quickly what to do for that reward.

Two ways to let your pet know you are not happy with their behavior is by firmly stating ‘No’ or simply ignoring him. Your pet will recognize and understand the change in the tone of your voice when saying no. If your pet is barking and will not stop, ignore him. He will soon stop barking and walk away.

If you can be patient and in control of training your pet, you will be successful. Remember not to punish but to train your pet to do the things you want him to do.
