Dogs and All about Them
·

If
only
one
dog,
or
two
or
three
of
the
smaller
kinds,
be
kept,
there
is
no
imperative
need
for
an
outdoor
kennel,
although
all
dogs
are
the
better
for
life
in
the
open
air.
The
house-dog
may
be
fed
with
meat-scraps
from
the
kitchen
served
as
an
evening
meal,
with
rodnim
or
a
dry
biscuit
for
breakfast.
The
duty
of
feeding
him
should
be
in
the
hands
of
one
person
only.
When
it
is
everybody's
and
nobody's
duty
he
is
apt
to
be
neglected
at
one
time
and
overfed
at
another.
Regularity
of
feeding
is
one
of
the
secrets
of
successful
dog-keeping.
It
ought
also
to
be
one
person's
duty
to
see
that
he
has
frequent
access
to
the
yard
or
garden,
that
he
gets
plenty
of
clean
drinking
water,
plenty
of
outdoor
exercise,
and
a
comfortable
bed.
For
the
toy
and
delicate
breeds
it
is
a
good
plan
to
have
a
dog-room
set
apart,
with
a
suitable
cage
or
basket-kennel
for
each
dog.
Even
delicate
Toy
dogs,
however,
ought
not
to
be
permanently
lodged
within
doors,
and
the
dog-room
is
only
complete
when
it
has
as
an
annexe
a
grass
plot
for
playground
and
free
exercise.
Next
to
wholesome
and
regular
food,
fresh
air
and
sunshine
are
the
prime
necessaries
of
healthy
condition.
Weakness
and
disease
come
more
frequently
from
injudicious
feeding
and
housing
than
from
any
other
cause.
Among
the
free
and
ownerless
pariah
dogs
of
the
East
disease
is
almost
unknown.
