He used to be a little shy, and then came out of his shell. He likes to play outside, loves to be around people and dogs. With a playful pawsonality, he has grown into a wonderful camper. He is one cool camper! Congratulations Ranger!
Fort Lauderdale Dixie is an 8 1/2 year old Labrador. She has been attending daycare since 2011!! This girl LOVES to run! You can normally spot her in the pack as the blur that is constantly on the move. Dixie has a happy, easy-going personality when not pretending she is in the Kentucky Derby and makes friends easily. She is loved by everyone who meets her! Congratulations Dixie!
Hollywood Our Siblings of the Month are Captain & Bucky! Both of these energetic boys are a 1y & 1/2 old, Captain lab mix & Bucky hound mix. Though they are never picky about who they play with, these two are the best of friends. Wherever one goes, you can bet the other is following close behind. Mom really picked well when she adopted this fun loving pair of pups. Congratulations Captain & Bucky!
7 Surprising Ways Your Dog Says "I Love You”
By Alexandra Churchill of Martha Stewart Living
That tail-wagging, body-wriggling happy dance he greets you with when you come home? Nothing is lost in translation there. But some of your dog's most baffling behaviors are, in actuality, subtle (and even subconscious) signs of affection. 1. RAISED EYEBROWS According to a study, researchers found that when dogs were reunited with their owners, the dog subjects lifted their eyebrows (the left, in particular). 2. YAWNING You've heard that yawning is contagious, but why? In humans, this instinctive reaction correlates to our capacity for empathy. And in dogs, this is no different. 3. PHYSICALLY LEANING AGAINST YOU He’s always underfoot and even has a tendency to lean on you. Experts continue to debate whether this quirky behavior is a sign of affection or a sign of asserting "alpha" dominance, but here are a few situational clues to tell the difference: If he is not demanding to be petted, or begging for a treat, or inserting himself as a protector between you and another person, this is more likely a simple sign of solidarity, akin to a hug. 4. BOWING DOWN Look for your dog to offer you a "play" bow, which in canine body language is a friendly invitation for you to play with him. 5. A (LOW) WAGGING TAIL It's the classic sign of a happy dog, right? That’s only half true. Your dog wags his tail to express any number of emotions including happiness, but also fear, tension, or even aggression. 6. EYE-TO-EYE COMMUNICATION Believe it or not, there's something scientific to the phrase, "puppy eyes." Researchers have studied the prolonged eye contact shared between dogs and their human companions to discover that both benefit from elevated levels of oxytocin, the love hormone. 7. SMILING You recognize that goofy grin, stretched from ear to ear. But what does a real smile look like on a dog? Picture this: perked-up ears, softly-blinking eyes, and the mouth is relaxed and held slightly ajar; his body language from head to toe looks relaxed. All of these are good signals that he's happy and more importantly, happiest with you!

How to Snap the Perfect Pet Photo
with your e p yp
A beautiful photograph of your pet is priceless, but it's no secret that animals can make difficult subjects. That's why I've called in a professional, Charlotte-based pet photographer Sarah McGraw, of McGraw Photography, to share tips for capturing an image of your furry friend. 1. Find Good Light Without the correct lighting, your pet can show up in pictures with freaky, glowing eyes. Nobody wants that! To avoid this, turn off your flash and seek soft, natural light. 2. Be Aware of the Background To achieve a lovely, artistic shot of your pet, be aware of what surrounds your furbaby. This sounds like a nobrainer, but a bad background can ruin an otherwise great shot.
Fruit Parfait for Dogs Your dog deserves a nice dessert every once in a while. This parfait mixes dairy and fruit, so it tastes great but also gives your pup a nice dose of vitamins and protein. Ingredients
3. Focus on the Eyes As they say, the eyes are the windows to the soul. To get a shot that really connects with the viewer, make sure your pet's eyes are in focus.
1/2 cup plain, non-fat yogurt 1/2 cup of strawberries, diced 1/2 cup of blueberries, diced 1/2 cup of applesauce
4. Get Down on Their Level Although photographing from above is easy and natural, for a more interesting shot, mix it up a little and get down on your pet’s level.
Directions
5. Know What Motivates Your Furry Friend Can’t seem to get Rover’s attention? Find out what motivates him before you start shooting. Use treats, toys, or even funny noises to get his attention. 6. Experiment with Camera Settings Don’t be afraid to pull out your camera’s manual and play around with those scary settings surrounding the “Auto” button. 7. Be Patient One of the most important things to have when photographing your pet is patience. Be patient with your camera, be patient with your pet, and be patient with your skill level. 8. Be Safe Last, but certainly not least: Be safe! Don’t let your photo shoot turn into a nightmare. If you’re outside, be sure your pet is protected from traffic, aggressive dogs, and anything else that could pose a threat. If possible, bring a friend along to help. At the very least, keep your dog leashed and out of harm's way!
Blend all ingredients in a medium size bowl until the yogurt is smooth and the fruit is well blended. Serve in small amounts. Store in the fridge for up to seven days. Pro Tip: On days you plan to serve your pup a fruit parfait, reduce the amount of regular food by one half to one cup to keep from overfeeding.
Don’t cage them up; let them run free!
