"ON LOSING A BEST FRIEND"
 
As we buried our dog, Tyra, two weeks ago, I told my adult children that I could measure my life in segments by the dogs I had during each time span.  I wondered later what makes losing a dog bring such deep sadness.  Of course, they're not human, and don't we almost feel a little guilty for mourning their loss so obviously? Just to drive the point home, my husband wondered out loud if I would shed as many tears on his passing as I had for Tyra's.
 
For the next few days, I couldn't help thinking about this question.  For me, the sadness is based on the loss of a true friend - a special bond with a non-human - a bond that is hard to replicate in our daily lives.

A Dog Named "Angel"
Saves A
Young Boy's Life
 
 
Hero dog saves boy, 11, from cougar attack
Angel the golden retriever became a
guardian angel when cat pounced
The 11-year-old boy didn’t have time to react ..and barely enough time to realize that a cougar was flying toward him with dinner on its mind. Luckily for Austin Forman, his dog, Angel, threw herself between her best friend and a lethal predator.  Never was a dog more appropriately named than the 18-month-old golden retriever who nearly gave her life to save Austin Sunday in Bar Boston, a small Canadian town some 150 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia.
“She was my best friend, but now she’s even greater to me. She’s more than a best friend now,” Austin told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Tuesday morning from his home, where he was joined by his mother, Sherri Forman, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Chad Gravelle, who shot the cougar and saved Angel.
“We’re really lucky that he was saved by an angel. That’s exactly what it was. There’s no other word for it,” Jay Forman, Austin’s father, told NBC News.

Angel to the rescue
Around 5:30 Sunday evening, Austin went out with a wheelbarrow to bring in wood to feed the family’s wood-burning furnace. At that hour at that northern latitude, it was already dark.

Angel went along with Austin, and the boy found it curious that instead of playfully galumphing around the yard as she normally did, the dog stayed close by his side. He would shortly learn that there was a reason for her actions.

Austin was a few feet from the woodshed when he saw the cougar, which he first assumed was another dog. Although cougars inhabit the surrounding forests, they usually stay away from towns.

There was a light in the backyard, and when the animal got under it, Austin saw it was a cougar getting ready to pounce from less than 10 feet away. But just as the animal leaped, Angel came to the rescue.

“The dog knew something was up, because she ran toward me just at the right time, and the cougar ended up getting her instead,” Austin said. “I was just lucky my dog was there, because it happened so fast I wouldn’t have known what hit me.” (Read more...)

Let's Stay Together: How to Help Your Pet Overcome Separation Anxiety

                               

The season is turning, school has started and vacations have come to an end. Unfortunately, for many dogs, this departure from routine—especially the increased absence of two-legged friends—can be very unsettling. In response, poor Fido may start acting disruptive or destructive when left home alone. He may resort to urinating and defecating in the house, howling, chewing, pacing or trying to escape from the house or yard. When these issues are accompanied by signs of panic, distress or depression, they may indicate that your pet suffers from separation anxietyRead more...
