Rain, then more rain, then some Sun followed by severe thunderstorms followed by drizzle, rain, thunderstorms, rain, rain, sun, rain and yes you guessed it more rain. We’re suppose to have more thunderstorms today, followed by two sunny day’s ( I hope ), before thunderstorms are suppose to revisit us Wednesday and Thursday.
Which means lot’s and lot’s of fun for our dogs, as they just love rolling in the high wet hay grass and digging in the mud. And although the mud is driving me crazy, ultimately the only thing that really matters is our dogs happiness. And since they like it so much, I’ll bitch and moun a little bit, then I’ll start smiling when I see how happy they are and how much fun they are having. Which some of the dogs are having for the first time in their lives.
Many people have heard that poop snacks (coprophagy- the real word for poopy eating) can be attributed to a poor diet, lack of nutrition, your dog might be bored, nervous, anxious, trying to hide the evidence or a slew of other reasonable sounding explanations as to why your dog eats pooh.
Here at Spirit Animal Sanctuary I study all dogs behaviors and learn from everything. And I can tell you without question, some dogs just like to eat poop. It’s that simple. Out of the almost ninety dogs that we have living here, only a handful prefer the culinary delights of caca. Doesn’t matter if it’s their own poop or not. But even those dogs that enjoy eating canine kakee, would much prefer the culinary delights of cat poop or geese poop and forget about cow pies, um-um-um. Just ask’em.
Since all of our guys are fed the same feeds, dry, canned and raw, we can pretty much eliminate poor diet or lack of nutrition, which is a common explanation when a dog owner asks “why does my dog eat his own poop”.
And for those folks that live in the colder climate zones, you guys are probably all to familiar with frozen poop-cicles. Good Humor’s got nothing on them.

No woodchucks were harmed during the making of this video. Matter of fact, no woodchucks were even seen, smelt or heard. Much to the dismay of Shake-a-bee, who was searching an abandoned woodchuck hole. C’est la vie.
Last night I saved the life of a bunny rabbit that inadvertently wandered inside the fencing of our dogs play yards. It was about, I don’t know 10:30–11:00 when I opened, then went to close a walk through gate, and a small dark figure went shooting by me and immediately he had a pack of twenty some odd dogs chasing him. Our dogs must of thought I bought them a new toy that moved all by itself.
Here’s the odd part, the little guy went running into the high hay grass 150 feet away that the dogs love to play in, then, the little maniac rabbit came running back and straight into one of our unused 5 x 10 outside dog pens that connects to the giant play yards, where I was standing. And here comes all the dogs right on his tail, so I yelled NO, they all stopped and I closed the gate door with the little rabbit and me inside. After he was freaking out for a little bit, he came over and sat on my foot.
So I went out to one of our storage buildings, got one of those little cat carrier things, and scooted the rabbit inside the carrier. I was going to take some video of the little guy inside the carrier, but he was breathing so hard I thought he was going to take a heart attack or something.
After I carried the carrier (can I say that ?) with him inside into the woods, I opened it up and he didn’t want to come out. So I tipped it over and out the rabbit ran into the woods, much to the dismay of our dogs, I’m sure.
An easy way for you to email your elected representatives and ask them to please support the puppy mill bill, is to visit this site put up by the ASPCA.
And please help Spirit Animal Sanctuary by donating today, so we can continue to save the dogs that are the unfortunate byproduct of these breeders. Thank You.

Yea, I share everything with our guys especially my food. The little dog in the video’s name is Caida, she acts just like a cat jumping up on everything which could be part of her problem, apparently she’s a little confused.
Did you know that a Poodle is three times more likely to bite your child than a Rottweiler ? And that the cute and adorable Pekingese, bites kids twice as often as Doberman Pinchers do? How about Retrievers, these high energy dogs, are almost at the top of the list.
I’m not trying to scare you away from any specific breed of dog, because I love them all and every dog with the proper guidance and understanding can be a great dog. I’m just trying to make you aware that every dog big and small, can and will bite someone often times that someone is a child.
