Dear DogAge,
Riley is our four-year-old Beagle who has a BIG personality. He was going to be given away to the pound so we intervened. He is my very first dog and I consult DogAge on a regular basis! He loves to be the center of attention. His favorite toys are his deflated football, an old shoe and his blanket. He is a friend to all. We are very lucky.

Dear DogAge,
Aloha from Hawaii. I'll be 73 this coming March and I've had Kona for four years now. The other night, she did something that amazed me! Some time ago I created a really tasty "Island Style Chili" using island spices instead of chili powder. I make a big pot that lasts for a week or ten days. One evening, I left the pot out to cool down . . . but I forgot to put it in the refrigerator. At 2:30 a.m., Kona came into my bedroom, woke me up and led me to the pot of chili. She pointed at it and gave a little "wuff." Needless to say, I praised her and she seemed so proud! Now, I didn't teach her to do that . . . she did that on her own which I think is exceptional for a dog, even a German Shepherd dog!

Dear DogAge,
I just got my puppy, Peanut, in March this year at the early age of 6 weeks. I never had a puppy and was very much interested in the tips that you provided. I went through a period of house breaking with him with helpful hints from your e-mails. My daughter has a dachshund and my son and his family have a small dog (it slips my mind what kind he is). I have passed along a lot of hints and tips to them for their dogs. I appreciate every e-mail that I get from you.
Thanks,
Barb |

Dear DogAge,
This is our dog, Toby. He is 9 years old and a real spunkster. When he's happy, he skips with his hind legs. He's happiest when he's with his mom and taking his walks down by the lake. He's usually a big chicken, but likes to show the geese who's boss. We love our baby boy!

Dear DogAge,
This is my dog Kratos (unique name, I know; it came with him). He is a German Shorthaired Pointer. He is the best dog ever! I do 4-H with him (dog showing). I can't wait until the next one! He is also my hunting bud (pheasant and grouse). I couldn't ask for a better dog.

Dear DogAge,
This is Matues. He is a Fila Brasileiro, also know as a Brazilian Mastiff. He is only 17 weeks old and already over 60 pounds! He is very faithful already to our family, but is a little weary of strangers, which is typical for this breed. At home he is very courageous, hardheaded, and goofy, tripping over his huge feet he has yet to grow into. Matues is the one dog that captures my family's heart day after day, he is always a hoot to watch. We had problems feeding him commercial foods so we changed his diet to 100% buffalo. He seems to be doing so much better on this diet, I am just glad we have the opportunity to have such a wonderful, healthy, endearing pet.

Dear DogAge,
Cosmo is a 3-year-old miniature longhaired dachshund. Cosmo has allergies. DogAge provided our family with lots of tips on how to keep Cosmo healthy and to keep his allergy symptoms down to a minimum. Recently Cosmo took the DogAge test and he is 4.6 years younger than his age. Cosmo is a big part of the family and he has a great personality. We love him very much. He even tries to talk to us in his funny barking voice. DogAge also provides great information on keeping our other dogs, Elaine and Beans, healthy too. Cosmo, Elaine, and Beans thank DogAge for their great contribution to the canine world.

Dear DogAge,
Here’s Coconut -- she’s the first dog I’ve ever purchased; others were strays. She’s 2 years old with tons of energy and loves stealing toys from our 1-year-old granddaughter, it’s so cute! DogAge has educated us on so many levels, especially with our older dog (a Dalmatian)!

Dear DogAge,
Please meet Blondie Beautiful Brown Eyes (BBBE), a cute white, blonde and buff purebred cocker spaniel. Blondie just celebrated her 4th birthday on October 24th. She is posed in front of the Christmas tree and fireplace last year, hoping that her Christmas sock was full of surprises for her -- and it was. Blondie always greets me with enthusiasm and a big happy smile when I return home from work, even if I am sometimes a little late. She has an automatic feeder from which she can get her kibble if she gets hungry. I have had cocker spaniels for many years. My last dog was a purebred black cocker spaniel named Jellybean (because I like black jellybeans). Someone stole her out of my back yard when she was just a year old and thereafter I got Blondie.

Dear DogAge,
This is Dharma, 1.5–2 years old. She’s a shepherd/shar-pei mix I got from a rescue in Orange County. I’ve wanted a dog for years, and when I got a job that allowed dogs at work, I figured it was time. She wasn’t the dog I was looking for, but you can’t stop fate -- she found me, and with her kindness to people and other dogs, I couldn’t resist. I think she may be part greyhound because she can run! She needs work on her recall command when off leash, but other than that, she’s amazing. I feel lucky to have her and am learning quickly about how dog’s think.
