If you saw yesterday’s post, you saw two ways in which someone showed their love of Alaskan Malamutes – a vanity license plate & the plate frame. And of course, we’ve all seen the ribbon magnets that say “I heart my whatever”. Does your car let people know that you love your dog? (I mean other than the dog fur all over the seats.)

Lovable Malamutes
Saw ths license plate at WalMart last night, and just had to share it. I’m not sure which is better – the plate itself or the frame! (If you can’t see the writing on the frame – it says, “My Alaskan Malamutes are smarter than your honor student!”)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Friday Funny: Chloe the Springer Spaniel
Thanks to Rhoda Lynn for sending this picture of Chloe, her 6-year old Springer Spaniel, who “loves to eat!” Rhoda and her family were traveling in their motor home and stopped to have lunch. Chloe hid under the table and then crawled up to see what the family was having to eat!
Pictures of the Lake MetroParks Dog Ambassadors
When we were at Lake Farm Park last weekend, we got to see some beautiful dogs who are a part of the park’s dog ambassador program. They help the rangers keep order in the parks and act as goodwill ambassadors for the visitors. Thought you might enjoy some pictures.

Tuesday Top Ten: Homemade Dog Food Ingredients
I was recently asked to discuss homemade dog food for a magazine article, which got me to thinking about the best ingredients to feed your dog. You’ll note that the top five are protein sources, because that’s what dogs crave and need most. The rest include sources of the other nutrients important to your dog’s health. All of these ingredients can be served raw and uncooked. Your dog’s digestive tract is built to handle raw food without risk of diseases like e.coli or botulism.

Spay / Neuter Education
Maybe this is common, but I’ve never seen it before. I ran across a great slogan for spay / neuter education on the PetFinder site for an organization called Second Chance for Animals here in Canton, OH.
You ready for it? It says:
DON’T LITTER! Spay or neuter your pets.
Have you ever seen that before? What a great way to get the concept across.
Just had to pass that along – I love creativity!
BTW, the picture above is of Roxanne, a Beagle / Dobie mix who is in foster care with Second Chance, waiting for a forever home.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog.

Working Dogs Weekend @ Lake Metroparks
Had I realized what a big deal this was, I would have posted about it earlier so you could make plans to go. We volunteered to take our dogs to a Dock Dogs demonstration event today (for people who want to see what it looks like when a dog WON’T jump). I just went into the park’s web site to find directions, and they have a HUGE event planned. Check out the working dog events they have planned.
If you’re going to be near Cleveland today, stop by and see us. I’ll try to take lots of pictures and post them in the coming week.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Saturday Survey: Does Your Dog Sing?
I posted earlier in the week about a concert in Sydney put on specifically for dogs. When I wrote it, I got to wondering whether or not the dogs sang along. Which, in turn, made me wonder if your dogs sing.
