Favorite Dog Articles of the Week
Should You be Jealous of Your Dog’s Health Insurance? | Priceonomics
In depth look at how simple pet insurance plans are compared to human ones. Of course just with human insurance it’s important to read the fine print; most pet insurance plans don’t cover pre-existing conditions.
Your Dog Remembers Every Move You Make | NPR
New study found that dogs can remember & relive experiences much like the way us humans do. These findings suggest that dogs have episodic memory, something we used to only attribute to humans. Makes me question the whole ‘dogs live in the moment’ mentality I’ve been hearing for years.
The Passion to Punish | Anna Blake
Great post about punishment, and the bad advice many of us receive when looking for ways to help train our canine friends.

Thank you so much for including my post about Lepto. One important thing for dog folks to remember is that vaccination is not 100%. My Jeffie (in fact, all my dogs and horses) have always been vaccinated for Lepto. As long as I continue to live somewhere with frequent wildlife, I’ll continue to do this.
Absolutely, I was shocked when I read that. It’s so important for people to understand what risk factors are involved (such as location, your dogs daily activities) when deciding on vaccines.
