I was at the bookstore the other day when the book Eco Dog caught my eye. I picked it up and started flipping through it and after just glimpsing at a few pages I knew I would be buying this book.
Eco Dog is an easy to read book that focuses on healthy and natural living in all aspects of your dog’s life. I love how the book is very informative and yet so easy to read. Plus, each section of the book has little projects that you can tackle at home. From nutritious recipes for food and treats to ideas for making dog toys. There are several projects that I have bookmarked that I can’t wait to start. When I do them I will be sure to write about them on the Pug Blog.
If you are interested in learning more about a holistic approach to caring for your pug, Eco Dog is a great starting point. It is informative without being overwhelming and gives you a great base for further research.
A story about Lurch, a 200 pound Mastiff, that is going to be honored for donating blood 20 times caught my eye today. The first reason it stuck out to me is because you don’t hear much about canine blood donation. By donating blood about once every 4 weeks, Lurch has helped dozens of dogs. But what really stuck with me is Lurch’s other family members - another Mastiff, 4 pugs and 7 kitties. Lurch and Lucas, the other Mastiff of the house, team up and chow down about 200 pounds of kibble each month.
Lurch’s owner had this to say about Mastiffs, “Mastiffs are just like 200-pound pugs. They’re just as friendly and just as goofy except they have a couple more zeros at the end of the weight.”
I buy that. I know my gang sure does have the appetite of a Mastiff.
