It’s a Doggie Dog World

(MS) — Dog lovers can attest to the joy that a wagging tail, furry grin and a pair of inquisitive eyes can offer. Dogs have always been beloved members of the family, but in recent years, dogs are being fawned over and given more attention than ever before. Career couples now think twice about leaving the family pet alone all day, and as a result, the pet-care industry continues to see a steady increase in revenue. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans spent $34 billion on their dogs in 2004. Experts predict the industry will grow by more than five percent a year for the next few years.
There are many businesses that have been able to profit from the pet-care industry. Trainers have seen an influx in business from pet owners who haven’t the time or the skills to properly train their animals. Another area of the pet-care industry that has seen considerable popularity and profitability is daycare for dogs.
Dog owners are busy individuals. Many work full-time and their jobs require that they are out of the house at least 12 hours per day. Rather than leaving their pooches to their own devices all day long, daycare allows dogs of all shapes and sizes to interact with each other and have fun. This type of socialization and interaction has many benefits for the dogs and their owners. Dogs who are allowed to exercise regularly are less likely to engage in bad behavior, such as incessant barking or chewing, and won’t feel separation anxiety from owners who are away from home all day. Socialization with other dogs — especially at an early age — teaches dogs to be friendly toward other canines and be less aggressive and more comfortable around other dogs. Owners have a more well-rounded and happy pet as a result.
Daycare operations like Gulliver’s Doggie Daycare, based in Burlington, Vermont, have started franchise programs for would-be entrepreneurs. It allows you to enter the consistently growing pet-care industry with relative ease and build a business centered solely on caring for and enjoying dogs. The rise in popularity of doggie daycares provides a unique business opportunity for entrepreneurs who are also dog lovers.
“Why not do what you love?” asks Patricia Clark, who founded Gulliver’s Doggie Daycare, one of the nation’s first daycare facilities for dogs. Entrepreneurs like Clark are now developing their hobbies into successful businesses. Clark added, “This successful business creates and keeps customers and offers franchisees a great
opportunity to succeed in a business they will love.”

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A DAYCARE
If you are seeking a facility to care for your pet while you’re at work or during travel, consider these tips from Gulliver’s Doggie Daycare:
• Visiting a daycare is the best way of judging the facility. Make an impromptu visit and observe the dogs already in care. Do they look happy and well supervised? Is the facility clean, and does it smell clean?
• Make sure you are comfortable with the facility’s policies. Do they ban certain breeds deemed too aggressive? Do they charge extra for special care, bathing or feeding? Are the hours of operation compatible with your schedule? A great daycare will allow you to stop in any time during the day to drop off, pick up, or just have a surprise visit.
• Inquire about the staff. What type of training do they receive? Ask how they discipline dogs who are unruly. And find out what they do in case of a medical emergency — do they have a veterinarian on call?
• Most centers will require certain vaccinations for dogs. Find out what they are. This ensures your dog and the others will be safe during play. Many facilities won’t allow dogs which haven’t been spayed or neutered, so check that as well.
• Does your dog have any special needs? If so, a good daycare should take care of any medication administered at home for no additional charge.
The right doggie daycare offers peace of mind to dog owners looking for a safe and entertaining environment for their beloved pets.

Having been each floor infantry and Air Wing throughout my 20 in the Corps the comment about have to be air wing is slightly assine considering the fact that simple truth is that the complaints are more often than not from the infantry side Pendleton and Lejuene. It is a two sided challenge in that some consider of dog as being unhealthy "you get dogged out" "she's a canine" but the fundamental challenge is a few the devout right nuts think the term devil is dangerous and the USA being God's country and we're on God's mission in Iraq so regarding us as devil's makes it sound disrespectful. I fought for Corps and country and what ever God, gods, if any I worship is and used to be nobody's business I did not combat for any faith or faith so I really believe the term is an effective one, is common. And has old significance so it must keep. It appears what the politically right severe left is not looking to exchange the extreme religious correct is. The time period is an mark or recognize and should be taught as such-fortunately they don't know one of the vital things USMC I heard it intended in Vietnam..Uncle Sam's Misbegotten children being one in every of satisfactory ones.

Having been each floor infantry and Air Wing in the course of my 20 within the Corps the comment approximately have got to be air wing is a bit assine due to the fact that practical reality is that the court cases are most likely from the infantry facet Pendleton and Lejuene. It is a 2 sided drawback in that a few believe of puppy as being unhealthy "you get dogged out" "she's a puppy" however the primary drawback is a few the devout correct nuts believe the time period Devil is unhealthy and the US being God's nation and we're on God's task in Iraq so relating to us as Devil's makes it sound disrespectful. I fought for Corps and Country and what ever God, gods, if any I worship is and used to be nobody's industry I did not combat for any faith or religion so I particularly believe the time period is a well one, is conventional. and has old value so it must keep. It looks what the politically right severe left is not seeking to difference the severe devout correct is. The time period is an mark or admire and must study as such-fortunately they do not know one of the most matters USMC I heard it intended in Vietnam..Uncle Sam's Misbegotten Children being considered one of fine ones.

"Dog eat dog" is an informal expression which means ruthless competition, as in "It's a dog eat dog world."
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2004/706/op60.htm
Excerpt:
German Zionist who immigrated to the US in the 1930s and mentored people like Paul Wolfowitz while advocating his philosophy of a dog-eat-dog world. His ideas were instrumental in the formation of the current neo-conservative cabal pulling the strings in the White House. According to Strauss, the world is divided into distinct nations with competing interests and will always be thus structured. Under such conditions nations cannot consider collective action and multilateralism unless it is 100 per cent in line with their own selfish interests. Strong leadership is axiomatic, as is the need for military power.

The phrase is really "dog-eat-dog world."

'"dog-eat-dog"
Dog-eat-dog describes a world in which people fight for themselves only and will hurt other people. Example: "I have been in this business for twenty years. It's dog-eat-dog. The competition is always trying to steal your customers."

Dog-eat-dog means that a person is like a dog that will eat another dog. Sometimes people say, "It's a dog-eat-dog world", as an excuse when they have hurt another person. Example: "I can't believe you sold him your motorcycle for so much money!" Reply: "Hey, it's a dog-eat-dog world."

It's a dog-eat-dog world means that you must first watch out for your own interests, because other people will be watching out for theirs. There is no letter s at the end of any of the words in dog-eat-dog. "Example: "That school is dog-eat-dog. The students cheat and even destroy each other's work to get better grades." '

The actual phrase is "It's a dog eat dog world..." That simply means to fight for what you want and don't hesitate to step on people on the way up...pretty much it's a rough world, so do what you can to survive.

I believe what you actually heard was "It's a dog eat dog world in which we live". Dog eat dog is the correct expression. And it simply means that you have to fight your way through this world.

The phrase is "dog eat dog" world. To my understanding, it means that people are out for their own. They will do anything to advance including belittle, or betray another. When this phrase is used, it is usually a negative connotation to explain to someone that they must be aware of others' intentions.
