I take my dogs for an hour walk. Then I feed him
and make sure their water bowls are full and brush their fur so
the fur does not get knotty.Jane, age 15, Sydney Australia

I take Rando outside and put him on a lead and
feed him. I sometimes take Rando around the yard,
but I don't forget to talk to him. I love Rando and
I'm glad I have him. Brenna, age 7, Alabama USA

I walk Cody every day, give him a bath once a week,
spend time with him, brush him everyday, and brush his
teeth weekly. I have already taught 1 year old Cody
7 tricks and 5 obedience training. Me and Cody will be
taking agility classes this fall and I plan to compete
later when he's good enough. i LOVE spending time
with my dog and I want to be a dog trainer and
caregiver when I get older. Peyton, age 12, Missouri USA

I take my two dogs, a Pekingese and a Japanese Chin,
for two walks a day and make sure they are never alone
so they don't get lonely during the day. The always have
fresh water and have a vegetarian meal of Tofu and
cooked vegetables twice a day. They have their own beds
and are brushed well so that they never have matted coats.
We have them checked by the vet three times a year,
more if they are ill, and always provide veterinary care.
I think that my dogs, Molly and Posy, are cared for very well.
Tammy, age 14, Berkshire, England

I feed him, give him water, don't pull on her ears,
don't hit or things like that. Jayden, age 8, Hillwack

Everyday, my dog and I take walks and I feed him regularly.
We always have a good time together!!
Tenten, age 13,California USA

I have two Labrador Retrievers named Tiamo and Sienna,
and they are a blast to care for! Twice a day they get
fresh water, (sometimes even more then that if it's hot,
you'd be surprised how hot it gets here in the
Centennial State!) once a day they get brushed,
(Sienna NEVER sits still...) and a walk around the park
(they're tired afterward 'cause it's a big part so they
only need one!) and a bit of training done.

Sienna's learning Turn Around while Tiamo's still figuring out
Shake) and my little brother gives them their dinner.
Tiamo is 9, but is still spry as a puppy, and Sienna,
who is only 3, has cancer, but she's still hyper
and strong! Hannah, age 13, Colorado USA

Well, in our backyard I chase my dog all the time.
I feed her in the morning and night. Her name is Hally.
She is only 1 year old. Joanne, Age 8, Missouri USA

I have 2 dogs, one named Taylor, who is a beagle, and
Coffee Pot, who is a chocolate lab mix. I do the normal feeding,
grooming, and attention thing like everyone else, but my dogs
and I have 'us' time. At 5:30 in the morning after I feed them
and walk them we sit on the couch (or at least I do) and we "talk."

I stroke their ears and heads and really get them relaxed.
My twin then gets up and carries on, she gets up at the same
time but she gets ready for school first, then while she strokes
them and soothes them, I get ready for school!
Sarah, age 15, Massachusetts, USA

I give him (Snowey) a bath every other day and make sure he
is very healthy. Every time we go to McDonald's we get him some.
I also make sure he has fresh food and water. I will do the best
I can to keep Snowey healthy. Ashley, age 14, Indiana USA

I treat my dog like she is a real family member and
give her a maltese haircut every two weeks. I LOVE HER
SO MUCH!!!!!!!! Cach'e, age 13, Maryland USA

Every other day I give my dog a bath, being careful
not to get water in his ears. Then everyday I check
his ears for ticks and his stomach for fleas and his teeth
and eyes for anything wrong. I feed him what the
dog food company recommends or a little more if he's
been exercising a lot. This way he's not fat nor thin.

After he is done eating, I walk him down to a local
unleashed park and play fetch with him and let him
play with other dogs (here I train him and at home).
Whenever his doghouse is dirty or his blankets, I wash
them using soap he's not allergic to or could be bad
for him. Once a month I give him flea / tick medicine
and if something seems wrong, I call our family vet.

I take my dog for a 30 minute walk just about everyday.
In the morning I take her out to pee, then feed her a treat
with her medicine she has to take *bladder problem*.
After that we play around just a 'lil and she may walk around
just a 'lil. Then I have to put her in her crate since I have
to leave.

When I get home from school, I take her out to pee.
I get her 2 cups of her Iams puppy food with he medicine
and make sure she has clean fresh water,she actually
can tell the difference between fresh water and fossiled
water lol. Anyway, after that we go out back and chill...
we may listen to music.

After that I usually take her
for a walk and then we play for the rest of the day
and I try to teach her new things...when I have the time.

I take her out in the morning, feed her one cup
of food for breakfast, put her out in the pen unless
it's raining, give her dinner, let her go to the bathroom

I will save up my allowance to buy my dog (Angel)
lots of toys and treats. Occasionally I will make dog biscuits
for her, take her on a walk 2 times a day, and this summer
we will take her swimming (first we will check with the
vet though). Halleigh, age 13, Indiana USA

I do good things for my dog Lacey. She can not go

My brother, Josh, and I take care of our dogs, Apollo and Zeus,
together. Our dogs are only nine weeks old, and we have only had them for
four weeks. They are Australian Shepherds and they are extremely hard
to housetrain. Every morning me or Josh get up at 5:30 and take them outside.
One of us will take care of them all morning and the other one will take care
of them all afternoon. We switch every week, so that neither one of us has to
get up at 5:30 every morning.

When we bring them inside we feed them. Then, we have to take them outside again.
We have to take them outside ever hour for a half hour. They kept spilling their
water all aver the floor, so we have to keep their water outside.

I take my dog out for walks and I play with him a lot!
I give him his popcorn and an occasional popsicle. He is so spoiled,
but I love my little Schnauzer,Gunny. Whitney, age 10, Florida USA

I feed, bathe, walk, and play with my Beagle, Penny.
Jenny, age 9, Texas USA

I spoil my dog, Spice, because she is personality plus.
Spice is a Dalmatian and she is very energetic. I have to make sure she

I walk and play with my dog, and also play with him,
