We be of one blood, thou and I

     The idea of  "to be of one blood" is rather complex and can produce fruitful results in man-dog communication and mutual understanding. It does not mean tto sleep in your dog's kennel, or to sleep with your dog in bed. However, the later is a very popular variant. As an example of improper behaviour of a master as well as of a dog - see below -  my malinois has a rest after a long working day. 

Shall we remember Kipling while training our dogs?

If we decide to have a dog we, as responsible masters, are quite aware that it is necessary to educate them, socialize them, train them. There are a lot of methods, instructions and ways for making our dogs well bred.

The starting point of all these practices is that we - as living creatures - are much more clever than dogs, and thus in a position that we can teach our dogs. This idea is going from the Christian concept that a human being is  the centre of the world. This philosophy developed deep roots in our mentality.

However, is it the only variant of creating relationships with our dogs. Is this variant undisputable and effective?    

Is it easier when you have two dogs?

To have a dog means to spend a lot of time, a lot of money and to take a considerable responsibility. But what about having two dogs? Two male dogs,and  more than that  - two Alphas? It might seem strange but it's much easier with the  two of them. Of course, they are friends. But  being friends between two strong males means a tiny balance, in a moment they can become rivals. It is rather dangerous as can lead to a fight. There is a much better variant -  to make a team with an inner hierarchy.
 It take time to set these kind of relationships, however it gives valuable results!

My two Alpha dogs

When I decided to take a second dog - malinois - I had some fears about their relationships. How two Alphas will treat each other when the young one become older? Will they be friends? I feed them together, walk then together, train and play with them. Always together. 

A story from my Facebook site

                                   About dog's love: 

        dogs come to this life already knowing how to love.

This came from a friend so I don't know this family but couldn't help sharing such a beautiful story. ♥

... Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa , and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.

He said: ''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued, 

''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'' 

 

                           How to make two Alfa dogs friends?

Please take action! Channel 4 have said that if they get enough emails wanting Belfast City Council to be investigated, they will consider it. PLEASE NOTE: Lennox was an innocent dog but Belfast City Council murded him as he resembled a pit bull, lets get justice for this beloved family pet and also get answers for his family Please email now and please share! EMAIL ADDRESS: dispatches@channel4.co.uk 

To kill an innocent dog - just because of the exterior - it's a disgrace. The one who took the decision can't be treated as a civilized person. However, those who knew about the approaching tragedy and did nothing also made their contribution into this disraceful act.
