A friend's dog passed away the other day. She was a Yorkshire terrier and, if I remember correctly, she was about eleven years old or so when she passed away. Her lungs were filled with water and she was getting weaker gradually.

It is certainly hard to watch the dog owner cry over the loss of her dog. I know that the dog belonged to someone else, but I was surprised to find myself also having a difficult time myself coping with the death of this dog.

You never know when your pets' time will come. The day may come suddenly, or it may be gradual.

At some point in my life with my pets, I have developed a habit of thinking daily, I will enjoy spending time with my pets as if today is the best day of my life with them.

With this always in mind, it's become almost impossible for me to scold or punish my pets for their misbehaviors. Instead, I have completely come to focus on praising them big time for their good behaviors. My mantra is "today is the best day of my life with my pets!"

I want every dog, cat and all the other pets to live a long, happy and healthy life until their time comes. That's why I have created my website. Healthy lifestyle is a basic and yet crucial factor for a pet to live a long happy life.
