Living Life Tails UP

Have you ever sat on the floor to see the world from your dog's perspective? You'd be surprised!

A lot of animals like to leap around. Is there a connection to Leap Year?

Rachann discusses teeth, both human and dog, and the importance of keeping them clean.

Rachann is busy trying to find a Valentine's Day activity for the dogs at the kennel. Hmmm, I wonder what she comes up with!

At Mariah-Belle Manor Kennel, the dogs are trained to sit and wait for kibble (food) and cookies (treats). Sometimes, they hear staff talking about kibble or cookies (but it's not feeding time!) and staff is puzzled as to why all the dogs are sitting!

Dogs, like people, horses, and other mammals, can get carsick. If you have a vomiting dog, Rachann recommends that you carry a "Puppy Bag" in the car that contains all you need to clean up the dog and the car.

Do dogs have a better sense of smell better than we do? Absolutely!

Can you believe that there are some dogs that don't particularly like to play with balls? Most dogs love balls, but there are some that don't get the attraction. Rachann talks about dogs and balls and how to make ball play more interesting.

Does your dog urinate on the Christmas tree, or anything else plant-based that you bring into your home during the holidays? Does your cat knock all of the berries off of the wreath and the garland? Holidays can be a time of mixed scent messages for pets.

Would rolling naked on the beach make you happy? It sure did this pup!

Dogs noses are one of their most powerful senses, the sense of smell. Scents elicit a response in our pets, just as smelling things like peanut butter cookies baking does in us.

Just as we as people have boundaries, so do our pets. Is it ever okay for a dog to scoot across the carpet? No, no more than it would be okay for us to do it! 

Walking down the kennel aisle to see your dog is just as exciting to them as a wedding procession is to us. Rachann Mayer open our eyes to see the love our dogs feel when they see us.

Lightning Bugs, Sky Raisins, Jalapeno Sky Raisins, and Jets are the topic of this Living Life Tails UP, and are Rachann's dog's favorite thing to chase ... and catch?

Rachann Mayer reminds us of the inconveniences that surround automatic water and soap dispensers and awkward placement of hand dryers and emphasizes the importance of accessibility. How does this connect to the dogs? Listen to find out!

Are Mariah Belle Manor's boarders and day campers Johnny Cash fans? Rachann Mayer discusses how music impacts the rhythm of our lives and the feelings around us just as much as it effects our pups!

Sometimes Rachann feels like a draft horse, but today she feels like a Tool Cat? Listen in to hear as she explains why!

Despite the mess of mud, Rachann Mayer allows us to find some appreciation for mud and shares her stories of growing on the farm.

Rachann Mayer discusses the joy you can find in the goofiness of everyday life.
