Paws For Thought
“Some of the best love in life does not need big moments. Sometimes it is just a wagging tail, a quiet nudge, and a dog who wants to be wherever you are.”

Pup Hack
The Bark Buffer

If your dog barks at every car door, neighbor chat, delivery truck, or mystery noise outside, try using a white noise machine near their crate or favorite resting spot.

The steady background sound 🎶 can help soften sudden noises that trigger barking and make your home feel calmer. Keep the volume low, place it a few feet away from the crate, and use it during naps, bedtime, or busy neighborhood hours.

Nose To Know 🤔

What Whale Eye Means

Whale eye is when a dog turns their head away but keeps their eyes locked on something, showing the whites of the eyes. It is often a sign they feel nervous, stressed, crowded, scared, or unsure.

You may see it when a dog feels trapped, is hugged too tightly, bothered while eating, or pushed into a situation they do not like. Give them space, stop what you are doing, and let them calm down before things go from uncomfortable to unsafe.

Missing Name!

Teddy

👋 Charles sent in this great pic, and we have to say, that is one good-looking pup. Those eyes are stealing the show. But you left us hanging, Charles. What's his name? Is he a food crook? A full-time good boy? A couch security guard? Send us the scoop so we can give him the proper Broward Bark spotlight.

👋 Say hello to Teddy, the newest fluffy face in Parkland. Carina sent in this adorable pic and says Teddy is looking forward to getting out and about. Welcome to the neighborhood, Teddy. We have a feeling you are going to make plenty of new friends around town.
