Just For Being A Dog

I live in an heavily forested area in Northern Arizona, lots of animals about such as elk, javalina (wild pigs), and the smaller critters like skunks and such, and even a few rattlesnakes. Usually both animals and humans get along well, mostly by avoiding each other, but every now and then one of our pets gets into trouble with a wild creature.

While visiting the vet recently with Duke, my chocolate lab, getting him his annual rabies booster, we heard the most incredible howling and whimpering noises coming from the back of the vets office, obviously the sounds of a very unhappy dog. It turns out, from what the vets assistant told me, a Jack Russell Terrier, beloved pet of a resident got himself into a tussle with a skunk. The skunk lost the fight and the Jack Russell lost his freedom. (more…)

Constrictor Snakes Should Not be Domesticated

We need your votes and comments here about what kinds of animals, reptiles or other creatures should NOT be considered pets. Snakes for example, in my opinion, should not be allowed to roam around the house chasing the cat. Or waiting for me to put my feet on the floor getting out of bed in the morning. And as we have shown on this blog before, watch this video, they can be dangerous and unpredictable.

What Would a dog blog -if a dog could blog?

BLOG about Pets, that is. And unlike those tired caveman commercials on the tube, pets such as dogs, cats and birds  are happy to have it easy because they know a lot of their fellow pets don't. Some are homeless, some are hurt, some are hungry and some just want to give up.

At My Baby Pet we hope to make a small contribution to the welfare of pets everywhere by focusing on issues affecting our pets, including health, heroic deeds, mishaps and of course, lots of pet humor.

The BlogDog invites you to tell us about your baby pet!
