What does your dog hate?
There are many things that pet parents do on the daily bases that their dog's hate! Since they have no voice or say on the things that they dislike the most, many dogs will just tolerate it. However, they are secretly wishing that we stop doing the following things. 1. Giving Hugs...... Hugging is a huge thing for dogs. They actually hate to receive hugs from humans.

Pet Friendly Stores

Have I Really Been MIA?
I guess you can say that I have officially been missing in action. I know it has been a while since you last heard from me, and I truly sorry about that.
