This is another poem dealing with the loss of a beloved dog. Most poignant is the author's emotion that death holds no fear for her, since she knows who will be waiting there to greet her!

Treasured Friend


I lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And share her silent thoughts with me...
She'll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to His golden throne.
Although me eyes are filled with tears,
I thank Him for the happy years
He let her spend down here with me
And for her love and loyalty.
When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know...
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with her bark.

Each Tuesday we will share a photo we received claiming to be the World's Largest Dog. A lot of you might have seen these photos. We couldn't verify the source so we leave it up to you to believe it or not. Photoshop can make look anything big. Let us know what you think. Have you seen any of these dogs in person? Do you have a photo that you want to share with us?

6) The Largest Caucasian Mountain Dog:
Come on?!!! Is it really a question whether this photo is fake or not?! FAKE
Yes, Caucasian Mountain Dogs are big and the size of their heads can be huge. And they can be just as dangerous for intruders as their size suggests. Take my advise and do not ever try to go close to a Caucasian Mountain Dog unless the owner is present.

According to the breed standard they weight 45-72kg. I believe you can easily find CMDs close to 90kg.

English Springer Spaniels are gun dogs, who are affectionate, intelligent, and alert. Unlike most spaniels, it has unusually long legs, making it one of the fastest spaniel breeds. Along with this, they have high energy levels, requiring a lot of entertainment and distractions to channel their stamina.

Did you know that if you use metal containers to store water for you dog, you risk their tongue getting stuck to the frozen steel?

I'm sure you know how painful that can be. In fact, if you don't use a non-conducting pan, you can do the opposite and burn their tongue in hot weather!

Cool Your Dog Off

Man it's hot. Let's take the feet for a walk!

So how does your dog sweat? All that hair surely doesn't allow sweat glands to function does it? And no! They don't sweat through their tongue either.

It turns out, that dogs sweat from the pads of their feet, as it is one of the only places not covered by fur.

However, it IS true that dogs cool off by panting. It's just that they don't sweat from their tongues.
