Sometimes you get publicity from people and places you would never expect.  I received an email in from Adopt-A-Pet in Redondo Beach, CA.  They wanted to know if they could use one of my photos for a YouTube video they were putting together.

One pet photo turned into several. In fact, the still photo before and after the video has played, is my Boss, and the first dog to be shown after the Obama press conference is my Annie.  Other Mill Creek Animal Rescue dogs in the video are Otter, Brandy and Uno.

puppy chewing
Chewing is a natural activity for puppies.  Just as babies explore the world through their mouths, puppies explore and learn by chewing.  Trying to get your puppy to stop chewing is a losing battle.  Instead, focus on redirecting your puppy.

  • Puppy proof your house
  • Exercise your puppy
  • Teach your puppy to be calm
  • Don’t make a big deal about comings and goings
  • Stay calm yourself
  • Give your puppy appropriate chewing alternatives
