I have Prince, a 5-year-old Jack Russell that my daughter got from someone who had gotten him from a shelter. I am a retired senior and felt I could give him a happier home. My husband and I walk him three times a day.
Your dog is like a member of the family. And like the relatives, all sorts of issues crop up. Ask Dog Lady offers common sense advice about your four-legged pals.
Q. I have a son (16) who would love to have a dog/puppy. Even though I love dogs and would not mind having one, the problem is we have three cats and live in a very small home. I have relentlessly told my son “no” to a dog.
My pug, Otis, tends to be overweight. I have tried cutting back on his food and walking him a lot. I also give him "light" dog food. He just doesn't lose weight, and everyone who sees him remarks on how fat he is.
