At the risk of starting another Potty Patch debacle, I have to ask if anyone has tried the bathing system called Rapid Bath they are now showing on TV. The company claims you can now bathe your dog in 3 minutes because the spray head allows you to wet your dog at the same time you are applying the shampoo. Then, you switch off the shampoo dispenser and rinse the dog with clear water through the same spray head.
I haven’t tried it, but it seems like it would be a good time-saver, especially in homes like mine with multiple dogs. I usually take my dogs in the shower with me so they can’t escape through the glass doors, but I do have trouble getting the shampoo on their undercarriages, so I wonder if this product wouldn’t help with that as well.
Have you tried the product? Is it easy to use? Does it scare your dog? Is it worth the price ($49.95)? Inquiring minds want to know!
OK, I know I spend too much time at the ice cream stand, but it’s where I get my best dog stories! We pulled in tonight and saw this dog with a harness, pulling a huge chain behind him. Our first thought was “who would make their dog pull a chain around?” You know me, I had to ask.
The long-awaited (by me, anyways) publication of my book as an e-book download is finally a reality! That’s right, you can now download your very own copy of “101 Things You Should Know Before Getting a Dog: A Little Instruction Book for Prospective Dog Guardians” right here, right now!
It took us awhile to get the site set up to accept payments securely and to get the book to download properly, but it is now ready for your purchase.
As some of you know, the book was published first in softcover (available here), but it is pretty expensive to do the color printing. So, we wanted to find a way to get this valuable resource in your hands at a more reasonable price – just $9.95.

I received a couple of e-mails last week with information on a new website that allows visitors to “obtain valuable pet care information, interact with fellow pet lovers in an online community, and shop online to raise money for homeless pets.” What I like is that you get to choose which shelter your purchases will support, so you can keep your money local.
Although we’d rather you got all of your dog-related information from us, we felt obligated to pass this information on because it does help raise funds for an important cause: reducing the number of animals left to live out their days in shelters. Anyways, below is the press release, and I’ve added the site to our blogroll as well.
When we ran a poll about dog adoptions earlier in the year, the response was overwhelming. Most of you indicated you had at some time adopted a dog froma shelter. How’d that work out for you? Editor Kyla Duffy of Happy Tails Books wants to share your story with the masses.
If you’re like me, there are days you wonder why you ever bothered to have kids in the first place. Here is our list of the reasons why we should have all just stuck with our dogs.
For the most part, dogs are meat-loving carnivores. In fact, their jaws aren’t even made to move any way other than up and down, making it impossible for them to grind up grains in their teeth. So, why do they insist on eating grass?
