Funny Doggies on Social Media
If you’re a fan of dogs on social media, you’re probably familiar with Doug the Pug. With that face and his affinity for costumes, how could you not be charmed by this pup?
Doug is a canine superstar, with 3.5 million Instagram followers and 6.1 million likes on Facebook. So, how does he do it? (Or rather, how does his owner do it?)
Leslie Mosier, Doug’s human, gave fellow pet owners a few tips on how to make their dogs famous on social media. Here’s what she had to say — along with a few other helpful pointers!
1. Find out what’s unique about your dog
Dogs have different personalities, quirks, likes, and dislikes, so discover what’s special about your pup and capitalize on it. Doug is a diva, Mosier told CNBC, so he was meant for the spotlight.
Consider focusing on your dog’s look. According to The New York Times, Instagram users like canine companions that look like them. Try creating a signature style for your pup.
2. Prepare for your launch
Mosier quit her job and decided not to pursue another start-up idea in order to start building Doug’s social media brand. Though most people can’t risk leaving a paying gig, making your dog a social media star is time-consuming. Mosier said she spent months taking pictures of Doug and designing his brand before anything took off. You have to be consistent and take lots of photos so that you will have one when you need it.
Try using a scheduling tool to plan out posts in advance. Social media moves quickly, so if you want your pup to make it big, you’ve got to keep his accounts updated.
3. Post consistently
As with many things, consistency is key when trying to build your dog’s social media following. Mosier said she shares at least two posts per day on Doug’s accounts. It can be extremely difficult to keep up with multiple pages, so you might want to pick one platform (like Instagram) to start with, and work from there. If you’re successful (and have the time), then you can consider adding other platforms into the mix.
4. Keep marketing
“Never stop the grass-roots marketing,” Mosier said. She has business cards for Doug that include a contact email and information on how to follow him. She’s also always ready to pitch his accounts to people she meets. The Internet is a funny thing — you never know what might go viral.

Banish the Funk
Does Your Dog Like to Dance?
There’s a reason the Canine Freestyle Federation is such a big deal, dogs love to dance! It really shows the bond between a pup and her handler or, in this case, owner. So whenever you want to have a special bonding moment with your pooch, throw on some tunes and jam out. If you have two left feet, she also loves if you sing her a song. Get her hair done at the dog groomers and she'll be extra happy.Just Like for People, 2020 has been hard on dogs.
Could your dog be depressed? Do dogs even get depressed? Like humans, some dogs can occasionally suffer from bouts of depression. Although dogs do not have the same capacity for reasoning as we humans, it doesn't mean they cannot experience depression. In dogs, depression is not exactly the same complex clinical disorder that it is in people. However, dogs can certainly experience depression.When dogs are depressed, they often appear sad and withdrawn. They can even lose interest in play. As a loving dog owner, you will be relieved to learn that you can actually help your dog if it is addressed. Often, the first step to doing this is getting your dog in for a veterinary visit.
Old Dogs - New Tricks
Dogs are instinctual, interactive creatures and as the leader of their pack, they are looking to you to provide opportunities to test their wits and experience new stimuli. An unfortunate trend among long-time dog owners and people with older dogs is to provide fewer opportunities to explore new things.So, this year, try challenging your dog’s mind by practicing a new trick, introducing them to new people or dogs, and taking them on new paths, including your weekend errands. Mix it up by bringing them new things to smell, playing with them like a dog, or attempting a difficult trick. These are just a few ways to stimulate your dog’s mind, but the imagination is boundless – don’t be afraid to try something totally unique to the dynamic between you and your pup.
Ha Ha Ha at the Veterinarians
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinarian. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she protested.. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$1,500!" she cried,"$1,500 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $1,500."

Puppies
Puppies are the best.
Incredibly loyal, they comfort, protect, and love their humans unconditionally, making dogs superior to any other pet out there.
The American Kennel Club officially recognizes 190 different dog breeds, and that doesn't even include "designer dogs" like the Labradoodle or Cockapoo.
From Chihuahuas to Chow Chows, there are a wide range of dogs to choose from. You might already have your favorite, but does that make it the best dog breed for you?
Before you bring home a puppy, take the time to consider which traits and characteristics fit the best into your personality, preferences, and lifestyle.
What are the best dogs for kids? It all depends on your household’s activity level, family energy, and living situation. But, in general, you can’t go wrong with a dog that has a gentle demeanor, friendly attitude, trainable nature, and an ability to keep up with your family.
Those characteristics can cover a wide variety of breeds, however. So how do you choose the right four-legged fit? Consider the following factors as you research family dog breeds, and keep in mind that the best family dogs are truly unique to you and your needs.

Doggin' Around the Christmas Tree
The Holidays are meant to fun, and having a dog around the house is likely to up the fun quotient. If you can train your dog to decorate the tree, you're more skilled than I.
I found a few funny stories about Christmas with your pets
I have a 10-year-old border collie mix who guards our tree. She has been doing this since she was 10 weeks old. I think she likes the lights and does not want to share with our 5-year-old black lab mix. She lays and sleeps under the tree. No presents can go under it because she thinks they are hers…maybe she wants all the presents??????? After christmas she goes back to her old spoilt self….back to her own bed……. Brenda
When I was single I had an Airedale mix that went everywhere with me. He was very polite and never lifted his leg so I never gave any thought to taking him to a friend’s house for a Christmas party – oh, yeah – he found the Christmas tree and “baptized” it in their living room! It was really good my friends had a sense of humor because we spent most of the night laughing about it and Fred (my dog) just looked at us like we were all nuts! Linda
Scooter, the Becker family’s Wire Haired Fox Terrier, once devoured an entire holiday sampler tray of fruit covered in white chocolate. Thankfully, Becker says, there were no medical repercussions, other than an upset tummy. Unlike dark and milk chocolate, white chocolate contains less significant amounts of theobromine and caffeine, the substances that can give dogs (and less commonly, cats) the runs or cause vomiting, a rapid heart rate and seizures — just a few of the signs of chocolate overdose. So it's less likely — but not impossible — to result in toxicity. That said, overindulging in white chocolate can still lead to gastrointestinal upset and the food's high fat content can contribute to pancreatitis. If your pet eats any type of chocolate, it's still best to contact your veterinarian. Much better for you and your pupper to be safe than sorry.

10 Funniest Dog Breeds In The World!
Have you ever met a really funny dog? A dog that just seems to know how to make people laugh and tends to get joy from that, so it just keep doing it? Sometimes, a dog has funny mannerisms. Sometimes, a dog just has a lot of character and knows how to show that. With some dogs, it can just mean being energetic and always happy that makes people laugh but with others they can be funny or strange looking as well!
Here are the 10 funniest dog breeds in the world!
1. Xoloitzcuintli
This Mexican hairless breed is not only funny looking; it’s also quite rare! These lovable pups were considered sacred by the Aztecs, Toltecs and Mayans and were thought to have healing properties. This breed is really funny, but it’s even funnier when people try to pronounce the breed’s name!
2. Neapolitan Mastiff
There is something hilarious about a dog that is the size of a moose, but acts like it is the size of a puppy. This pooch, with massive wrinkles and sags underestimates their size, and there is nothing funnier than seeing a huge dog leap into someones tiny lap!
3. Bergamasco
The Bergamasco Shepherd is a sheepdog, with an usual matted coat or how some like to describe it as the dog with dreadlocks. Don’t let the fur scare you, they are a wonderful breed but just wait until you see one of these pooches run!
4. Chinese Crested
You’ve probably seen some head-turning Chinese Crested in the infamous “Ugly Dog” contests held every year. Some of these dogs sport mohawks, others just like to let their hair flow. This small, hairy, weird looking dog is known for causing people to burst into uproarious fits of laughter!
5. Puli
Better known as the dog who looks like a mop, the Puli is a Hungarian herder whose tight curls make it virtually waterproof. They’re fast, agile, headstrong and loyal animals but we also can’t forget they are mighty funny looking!
6. Brussels Griffon
With their cute fuzzy beards, these toy pups could well have inspired the vision of the Grinch, while other folks insists the dog looks more like a little monkey. This dog is sweet and funny all at the same time, its no wonder we love them!
7. Dandie Dinmont Terrier
What happens when you have a tiny dog that has really short legs and has a cute little puff of hair on its head? You get a hilarious looking dog. Sweet, friendly, and outgoing, but that little puff of hair never fails to crack us up!
8. Dachshund
Dachshund otherwise known as he famous “Wiener Dog” is a long-bodied, short-legged hound with flappy ears and curved tail. The dachshund is one of America’s most popular pets and honestly how can you not laugh when you see a costume like that?
9. Bedlington Terrier
Is it a sheep? Is it a dog? Is it a Poodle? These are just a few of the questions that fans of this breeds find themselves asking as they watch their dog. The Bedlington Terrier is smart, lovable, calm, and their wooly look adds a bit of flair!
10. Bull Terrier
The most unmistakable, distinguishing feature is that egg-shaped head, which is almost flat on top but gradually slopes down to the end of an awesome nose. Bull Terriers are known for their clownly personality along with their funny look!
