With the summer months soon approaching pet parents
are getting excited for some fun in the sun with their canine companions. When
the weather gets hot you may be tempted to take a dip with your dog but before
you take the plunge make sure you know your safety rules- and know your pet.
Swimming and other water play with your dog can be a
bonding experience for you both. It can also keep both you and your dog in
shape and provide relief from the hot summer sun. Whether you go to a swimming
destination or are just swimming in the backyard pool it’s better to be safe than
sorry.

The sweet but powerful Bernese Mountain Dog- also
known as the Berner Sennenhund- is one of four Swiss mountain dogs. But the
Berner stands apart from the other Swiss canines in that it is the only one
with a long, silky and flowing coat. It also almost didn’t make it out of the
19th century alive.

If your guinea pig jumps straight up and down don’t
be alarmed- it is a move called “popcorning.” Guinea pigs only do this move
if they are really excited or happy. So next time you catch your guinea pig “popcorning”
get excited and popcorn with him!

Robust and regal, Great Danes and Mastiffs are as
tough as they look. In the middle ages these big breeds were sometimes suited
with armour and spiked collars and were brought into battle. Some even suited
up to guard supply caravans!
