Conversation between Joe and the neighbour's white dog. We'll call her Whitey.

Joe: Yo, Whitey. How's it going, mah frend?

Whitey: Not bad. Can you come down and play?

Joe: Wait. I'll ask mum.... Muuuuummm, can I go down and play?

Mum: I'm sorry, honey. Too hot. And it's siesta-time.

Joe: But muuuuummmm... Whitey's mum lets her play at this time...

Mum: Hush, now. You must take a nap. You're a growing dog... See Whitey? She will never grow bigger than she is now. That's because she doesn't take naps...

Pet Pride 035: My mum and I

Heya, pals. What's up? This is JOE, your homey!! We're back again.
We took a long holiday. It was fun alright but we surely missed the fun here at Pet Pride and Camera Critters. From now on, you'll find us here again every week.

Mum and I, "sky-watching" from a different perspective.

Every morning, my mum, Max and I would see dad off to work from the veranda of our apartment. Then we would go to the other side and stay there for long because she chats with her roses. Or watch the passing traffic before she goes about her chores. From time to time she takes pictures of anything that catches her eye. Today is one of those days.

The importance of dog beds have been questioned over and over through the years. Some people equate dog beds to luxury, rather than necessity. Dog beds are important because any dog will feel more  comfortable and secure in his own bed. Also, providing dogs their own bed is like giving his dog his own home or space he can call his own and identify with. So when buying dog beds, make sure you get the one with optimum size, for large dog beds for large dogs for example, to give your dog as much comfort as possible.

Quality should always be the top priority when purchasing especially a large dog bed.

Having all these in mind is important. After all, dogs are like us, people, they, too,  need to have a nice place of their own to rest after a day of activities.
