PeTA KILLS!
Please - Spay/Neuter!
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the US - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

A Good Way to Gently Train or Discipline A Dog - Without Hurting or Spanking Them!
We don’t like spanking our dogs (unless the situation calls for it - we do use the Monks of New Skete method sometimes - more on that later)…so what do we do when we want our (many) dogs to listen?
We use a little thing called a WATER BOTTLE!
We picked up several small plastic water sprayer bottles from the travel cosmetics section of Wal-Mart, and filled them with cold water and we placed them strategically all over the house (so we’d have access to them when we need them).
It works so well - especially when we have to walk through all of them to go outside, or when we have company, or we need to give them some or all of them medicine, or even when they are whining, barking or fussing at/with each other. Simply squirt them a few good times - right on the muzzle or square between the eyes (even on the paws or the ears) -and they usually stop and settle down!
If you find your dogs aren’t phased by it - try added a splash of lemon juice to the water - just be careful not to get it in their eyes! And never use a spray bottle that has had something else in it - always use a clean, brand new one. Preferably one with the option to ’stream’ and not just ‘mist’!
