This is a fairly accurate document on reading the body language of your dog and other dogs. Especially good for new dog owners.

Can you recognize the subtle ways that your dog communicates with you? Use these dog body language basics to understand what your dog is telling you.

DOG OF THE WEEK: Our dog of the week is Saylor. He was a 2 month old pup adopted from Muddy Paws at the end of February — now 8 months old. He loves snuggling and sleeping in late in the morning, but Aleksei and Ferry don’t allow him to because Saylor also adores running about in our dog run with his favorite buddies Ron, Toby, Annabelle, and Darwin — but he is flexible and sincerely loves playing with any dog that will match his enthusiasm. 😊 After running around like a loony in the run, he enjoys sitting at Billings Lawn watching the mighty Hudson ebb and flow as well as trying to catch bumble bees — thankfully he has not caught one yet. The lantern flies are another story, but he doesn’t like the taste of them. When he was much younger, he would watch airplanes with the excitement of perhaps catching one. He has not yet spotted our resident raccoons, rabbits, ground hogs, nor the occasional opossum. A sudden horse will make him bark. According to his Dads, he is a silly potato, a ding-dong, and a loving sweetie.

Meet Hunny!

Hunny has been fostered uptown for about two weeks and needs a new place to land while she searches for her forever home.

She came to The Good Life Dog Rescue from the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) and loves people, other dogs, walks and a good game of fetch.

Hunny is a wonderful dog, but she has struggled when left alone in her current foster home. We hope this is transitional distress, and she now has medication to help her cope.

Her ideal foster would be someone who:

• Is home much of the day
• Works from home
• Is able to bring her along on outings
• Is willing to work with our team as we help her feel more secure

Hunny needs a new foster home as soon as possible. Please reach out to The Good Life Dog Rescue if you have room for this sweet girl. [email protected]

We purchased a small bench (from donations) for sitting under the River Birch trees — meditate, converse, observe, and enjoy! Also, a big thank you to Brooke who drove me (Cecelia) and her dog Theo to pick it up from Pompkin Lakes NJ!! Thank you!

So very good news about the little Dog I posted about that was thrown onto the lap of my friend in the subway. She has a brand new home with two other little pooches. We couldn’t be happier for this little one!
