		<description>Hi Janet,

What I would advice you is to have a homeopathic vet look at your Yorkie to determine the best solution for her situation.

Good luck!</description>

		<title>Comment on Doggie News: Do Dogs Really Need Face-lift, Liposuction, and Viagra? by Michael G</title>

		<description>I find it deeply disturbing and disgusting that anyone would give their pets liposuction, comestic surgery or pet viagara since they are obviously projecting their own insecurities on your pets. Pets only have control over how much they eat by how much you feed them. If you want them to lose weight feed them less but do it gradually and without harm. Cosmestic surgery should only be considered for health concerns and viagara do we even need to go there? If our pets love us unconditionally just the way we are why can't we love our pets in the same way?</description>

		<description>I stopped giving my dogs the bisquit treats after one of my Poodles started having intermittent seizures a few times a year.  They were bad seizures and I used the cold pack therapy and stopped treating.  Since stopping any treats, he has had not one seizure in over 3 years.  Good article, thanks!

		<description>I stated in the 5th paragraph "shed-less or low allergen dog....these words are rarely used to search for dogs..." hence I use hypoallergenic to flow with the overall article. 

Also, I could use inverted quotes around the word hypoallergenic in my subheading (List of "Hypoallergenic" Purebred Small Dog) but it's usually not done in subheading.

Hopefully this is less confusing to you now.</description>

		<description>Hi Shannon,

Here are the answers to your questions.

1st and 2nd: Between 12 to 21 days, puppy's eye open and gradually gain greater control of them. 

3rd: No, at 3 weeks of age, they begin to develop their motor skills—typically around 18 to 19 days. They'll gradually begin to walk from week 4. 

Their bones are still growing until adulthood around one or two of age, depending upon the size and breed of the dog.  

According to your description of the puppy, bow-legged and cock-eye are not signs of a physically able puppy. He may post some challenges for dog owners. He may also face some minor challenges but will eventually overcome the obstacles and not feel himself any lesser than other able dogs. 

I once adopted a Shih Tzu cross from an abuse owner. Both of his front legs were badly turned outward. During his 2 years living with me, he never once "complained" nor shunned himself from any activities. 

If you are willing to overlook his physical beauty and face the challenges along with him then I suppose love conquers all. 

Good luck!</description>
