I adore my puppy. She’s become my new muse. I’ve spent an awful lot of time over the last three month researching everything dog.
Whenever I become interested in something I tend to do a lot of research on the subject. I go to the library and borrow books, I search the internet for more information on the topic and I also tend to talk to others that are also interested in the same topic. Often I read so much that I end up creating a website to not only discuss my latest intense interest, but also to create a place for others so that they can quickly learn all the things that I’ve learned on one site. I certainly did this when I became interested in reptiles! I’ve got two huge reptile related websites as some of you probably already know.
I haven’t gotten to the “make a website” stage yet and I may not this time round, but you never know. What I have been doing is visiting a number of dog and Labrador Retriever related websites, joining dog forums and reading up on dogs in general.
You might remember that my puppy was quite sick when we got her. I had to learn as much as I could in order to try to make her better. She’s doing a lot better these days. She’s still got some problems, but over all she’s doing quite well. I thank the many great sites that I discovered for helping me help her recover from her many ailments.
One of the sites that I came across along the way is the I-Love-Dogs.com website. If you’re thinking of getting your first dog or getting another doggy companion you can spend some time on the site reading the pros and cons of various dog breeds and of course looking at the many dog pictures that proud owners are more than happy to post.
I-Love-Dogs.com is a major dog portal where you can talk to other dog owners, discuss dogs in general on the forums, talk about your dogs health or behavioral problems or share some tips that have worked for you and your dog companion.
Along with the extensive dog forums you’ll find sections with dog games, lists of great dog names, free stuff for your dog, recipes for home made dog food, articles about dogs and dog training and many other great dog related categories. Heck you can even shop for supplies for your dog too.
If you are a dog owner you should take a moment to visit the I-Love-Dogs.com website. I’m sure you’ll find something there of interest and you’ll probably learn something new too.

Very good advice Tricia. Everyone should always do a lot of research and learning on their interests, particularly when it comes to getting a pet. Far to many people just go out and get a dog or cat or any other pet and find that it is entirely wrong for them. Mainly with dog breeds.
