Take me to the vet every year…I can’t tell you when I’m not feeling well
I need an annual check-up so the vet can make sure I’m healthy and up-to-date on my vaccines. Please don’t overlook this appointment––it could be life or death.
Fences and barriers are good things!
Since I’m a domesticated dog, I don’t always have the innate desire to “roam free.” Putting barriers and fences around the house or in the backyard will keep me safe and out of trouble, I promise!
WELCOME TO PAGE 512 - WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT !!!
Not true that you are using a bot, or that it makes you look like you are using a bot when you don't answer for multiple pages after being tagged ?
I know you’re tired, cold, hot, etc., but please don’t rush me when you take me out to go to the bathroom
Just like you like to scroll through your phone while you’re doing your business, I have a process. I have to find the perfect place with a mix of smells and mark my territory correctly, and I don’t like it when you tug on my leash.
Some brushes are specifically made for me…buy those
There are myriad pet brushes to choose from when you go to the store, but they aren’t all created equally. Take the time to read the animals and fur types each brush is made for, and purchase one accordingly. My skin, fur, and mood will thank you!
If I’m acting differently than usual, I’m probably not feeling well
I don’t pick up new characteristics or tricks by myself like you do. I’m a creature of habit, so if you notice me acting differently, chances are something is up. I might be sick and you should consider taking me to see the vet.
I dream just like you!
If my legs or eyes are twitching in my sleep, I’m dreaming. Just like you have vivid dreams, I’m probably imagining playing outside or that fun time you had me chase the tennis ball.
I have a “sixth sense”
If you notice me whining, trying to hide, or otherwise acting erratically, chances are, something bad is going to happen, like a thunderstorm. I just know these things. Call the local weatherman and say you know someone better for the job.
Eating poop is pretty normal for a dog
Don’t freak out, but I don’t hate eating poop. I actually kind of like it. Feces are definitely not the best thing for me to eat, but in most cases, they won’t harm my health. Don’t worry too much. Know about these ways your dog may be asking you for help.
I need to try out beds just like you
Just like you lay on mattresses before you buy them, I like to test my pet bed before you buy it for me. Take me to the pet store and let me lay on the different beds; depending on my sleeping position, I might choose one style over another.
If I’m yawning, that doesn’t always mean I’m tired
While yes, sometimes I do yawn when I’m sleepy, I also yawn when I’m scared, agitated, or overwhelmed. If you notice me yawning a lot, pay attention to the environment I’m in. Is there a reason I could be stressed or scared? Please remove me from the situation if I’m not coping well.
Both, but you can think whatever you want of course.
Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice.
With its volcanoes, glaciers, and geothermal activity, Iceland is a land of stark contrasts, where fire and ice coexist in perfect harmony.
When I put my butt in your face, that’s not a sign of spite
This action should actually be heartwarming! When I was a puppy, I used to do this to my mom so she could clean my bottom. This means I see you as a maternal figure.
The capital city of Iceland is Reykjavik.
Reykjavik is not only the largest city in Iceland, but it is also the northernmost capital city in the world.
Iceland is home to the largest glacier in Europe – Vatnajökull.
Vatnajökull covers an area of approximately 8,100 square kilometers and is a breathtaking sight to behold.
The famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in 2010, causing widespread disruptions in air travel.
This volcanic eruption gained international attention due to the ash cloud that disrupted air travel across Europe.
I don't think anything. I was just saying it looks bad.
If I’m refusing to listen to you, take the hint: I’m mad
This doesn’t mean you should let me win, but you should know that I’m not just disobeying you because I don’t know what to do. You’ve trained me well, I just feel like being rebellious.
It’s not impossible to teach me new tricks when I’m older
Just because my brain isn’t as plastic as it was when I was a puppy, doesn’t mean “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” It just might take me a little longer to truly understand; be patient with me.
When I’m being “bad,” I’m probably just bored
If I’m jumping up on you or grabbing household objects and running around like a crazy dog, that means I just want to play. I know you’re busy, but I haven’t seen you all day and I’d love to play with you!
I really, really, really hate the kennel
Please do your best not to board me when you leave for a longer period of time. I would love a dog sitter so much more, because then I don’t have to get used to new surroundings and interact with people and dogs I might not get along with. If you absolutely must put me in the kennel, don’t be surprised if I get a little ticked off. But don’t worry too much, I’ll still love you.
I hate pills. Please hide them in yummy treats
If I don’t like the taste of something, I spit it out. So that’s why I’ve probably been spitting out my medicine. Try hiding it in meat, peanut butter, or “pill pocket” treats from the supermarket. These pills are important to my health, so please make sure I take them.
You’re probably feeding me too much
Think about what happens when you eat too much: you get a little pudgy. To keep me from putting on the pounds (which can lead to a slew of other health issues), control my food intake and actually pay attention to the number of treats you’re giving me.
I overheat more quickly than you––check the temperature before exercising me
During summertime, the sidewalks and pavement can get really hot. You can wear sneakers and you have the choice to dress lighter. I, on the other hand, have lots of fur and I probably don’t have shoes to guard my paws against the pavement. Plus, my internal temperature control system just isn’t as advanced as yours. Please check the temperature before we go for a walk––it could save me. And if I’m an outside dog, make sure I have accessibility to shade or indoor space, and lots of water.
I know they’re expensive, but please give me worm and flea medicine!
I’m more susceptible to certain infections and health problems. The three most common are fleas, ticks, and worms. There is plenty of medicine and other supplies available at the vet to keep me safe from these potentially fatal problems.
The iconic Blue Lagoon is a popular geothermal spa in Iceland.
Visitors can soak in the mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon, known for its healing properties and stunning blue color.
