How do you care for your dog? |
Sometimes I brush, let her out and in, and wipe her paws
when they are muddy.Laura, age 10, Nebraska USA
My brother, Josh, and I take
care of our dogs, Apollo and Zeus,
together. Our dogs are only nine weeks old, and we have only had them
for
four weeks. They are Australian Shepherds and they are extremely hard
to housetrain. Every morning me or Josh get up at 5:30 and take them
outside.
One of us will take care of them all morning and the other one will
take care
of them all afternoon. We switch every week, so that neither one of
us has to
get up at 5:30 every morning.
When we
bring them inside we feed them. Then, we have to take them outside
again.
We have to take them outside ever hour for a half hour. They kept spilling
their
water all aver the floor, so we have to keep their water outside.
We
play with the dogs all day long and make sure they have fresh water when
they are outside. They sleep upstairs in my room every night. We have
not got
our dogs collars or leashes yet, but when we do we are going to get name
tags
for the collars, so that if the dogs get lost and somebody finds them,
they will be
able to bring them home to us. Heather, age 13, Illinois USA
I give my dogs all the love I can give because they mean
so much to me. I feed them and care for them. They are the best part
of my life.

I volunteer at an
animal hospital for 1 1/2 years. A lot of times
I can bring them in and give them baths. They have this shampoo that
whitens
your dog.Trust me it worked on mine. I am trying to train my dogs how
to do
tricks so we can put on a circus to raise money for a no kill animal
shelter.
I love animals so much I told my mom what I wanted to do when I get older.
She said she wanted to see my dream come true so she said that we could
do it
right now, and we are getting the no kill animal shelter started.

I have 2 dogs and it's a big responsibility, especially
because one has tons of Chow and Siberian Husky in him so he is huge!
I feed and water him, I play in the hose with him frequently so he stays
clean
and when he starts to shed I brush him. I love him to bits and he is
so easy
to train! Paige, age 10, Tennessee USA
I take my dog out for walks and I play with him a lot!
I give him his popcorn and an occasional popsicle. He is so spoiled,
but I love my little Schnauzer,Gunny. Whitney, age 10, Florida
USA
I feed, bathe, walk,
and play with my Beagle, Penny.
Jenny, age 9, Texas USA
I spoil my dog, Spice,
because she is personality plus.
Spice is a Dalmatian and she is very energetic. I have to make sure
she
doesn't hurt herself sometimes. I wash her every weekend because she
is
a dirty dog! I love Spice heaps! Siobhan, age 12, Western Australia
I walk and play with my
dog, and also play with him,
groom him and love him. Phil, age 13, California USA
Everyday I take my dogs, Josie and Maggie, for a walk.
Next, I let them play with Montana, a Labrador who is their friend.
After
that, I play with them for hours. Finally, I brush them and feed them.
April, age 11, Texas USA
I give her treats...a lot of treats. They tell me that they
are supposed to be treats...not dinners! They keep her teeth clean!
Carla, age 9, Texas USA
I treat him just like a human. Anush, age 11, United
Kingdom
I take care of my
Sheltie, Penny Brite, by feeding her and giving
her fresh water every day, brushing her, and walking and playing with
her.
Ashley, age 12, North Dakota USA
I help my mommy brush my dog. I play
with her in the yard, too.
Sometimes I give her a treat.Rebecca, age 5, Minnesota USA
I feed my dog everyday, I take him for a walk
around the block,
and I brush him. When my parents put him in the bathtub, I help wash
him and then I help dry him, too. Oh, and I pet him every night while
I'm
watching TV. Bryan, age 13, Oklahoma USA
