The Dog’s Grandma . . .
Loves dogs unconditionally.
Has been around for a long time. She’s known the joy of loving dogs, and she’s known the pain of losing them.
The Dog’s Grandma is wise. She knows that dogs are not just dogs, and they’re not less than human beings. She knows that dogs are people with personalities, thoughts and feelings. And she knows that a dog will love their special human more deeply than most humans ever can.
Over the years, and having shared her life with many dogs, the Dog’s Grandma knows that we should listen to the dogs, for they have much to teach us.
The Dog’s Grandma understands that when a human baby is born, there are all sorts of people to help out. There are doctors and nurses, social workers and school teachers – there’s a big network of people to help the new Mum. The Dog’s Grandma thinks parents of dogs deserve a support network, too.
The Dog’s Grandma knows that most dog owners want to do the best for their dogs and, because she loves the dogs, she’s happy to share what she’s learnt along the way.
The Dog’s Grandma is experienced. She’s learnt how to care for her dogs the hard way. She knows that dogs are big business, and that people will try to sell you things for your dogs that just aren’t good for them.
She knows, for example, that some dog food is better than other dog food. She knows that to grow a puppy into a healthy adult dog, the puppy needs the right nutrients. The Dog’s Grandma has learnt to read between the lines of glossy sales messages.
The Dog’s Grandma knows that loving a dog isn’t cheap. But she also knows that if you raise your puppy right, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Because the Dog’s Grandma is wise, she knows that no-one should tell you what you must do. She knows that giving people choices, based on truthful information, is the way to empower dog lovers and help the dogs.
The Dog’s Grandma has been around for a long time. She’s nursed many of her beloved dogs through illnesses, and even watched them die. She’s found many natural therapies to help avoid a lifetime on drugs.
The Dog’s Grandma knows that you can raise your puppy on a hope and a prayer, or you can aim for sound preventative healthcare. The Dog’s Grandma wants to help you keep your dog healthy - so healthy that trips to the vet are rarely required.
The Dog’s Grandma has empathy in her heart. She knows that tiny puppies want to please their new Mums and Dads, and only need to be told what’s expected of them. She’s always on hand, helping Mum and Dad to raise a dog they’ll be proud of.
The Dog’s Grandma is fiercely protective of the dogs. She won’t stand by while anyone harms the little ones. She’s loving and kind, but she’s old enough to know when to speak out.
The Dog’s Grandma has built an army of experienced dog lovers and put them through Dog School – and she’s tough. She won’t let anyone loose on the dogs if they don’t know what they’re doing. She knows that love is not just that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you hug a puppy. She knows that we all need to learn how to raise a happy, healthy, intelligent and well-socialised dog.
The Dog’s Grandma is the Dog’s Champion. If you love the dogs, she’s there for you.
