Hi! My name’s Penny Layne. You may as well go ahead & start singing the Beatles song – it’s all I ever hear.
Anyways, my mom, the Dog Lady, is off at the State Special Olympics Games with the boys, so I decided to take over the blog for t0day.
Here’s what I’m curious about. Mom keeps telling the boys to lay off the treats for me because I’m getting too fat. (As if!) Usually, I can get them to give me one anyways by standing up on my hind feet and begging, but that’s awful hard work with such a large belly – it throws off my balance.
So, here’s my question: how hard do you make your dog work for treats?
Tina Marconi, over at VetTech.org just sent me a link to one of her articles that I thought might be of interest to you. She has compiled a list of 25 different resources and tips you can use to take care of your dog’s teeth at home.
For about the past year, I’ve been devoting Sundays to rescue dogs throughout the country. Working with the shelters and rescues listed on PetFinder’s Shelter Center, I’ve chosen one organization from each state and featured one of their adoptable dogs. I have no idea whether or not any of these featured dogs have since been adopted, but I figure the more people who see these dogs, the better odds they have. Although only one of the dogs in my house is a rescue, I feel like I have an obligation to help where I can.
Since I can’t measure the posts in terms of adoption (unless some of you want to write in & tell your adoption stories!), I’d like to know if you are enjoying reading about these rescued dogs. Should I go back through the list of states another time?
I received this press release a few days ago, and thought I’d share the news with those of you who have pocket pets. As you know, my dogs are all pretty big, so I can’t say I have reviewed this food. Let me know what you think if you try it!
This week, I’m starting the first of three in a series of pictorial top ten lists, with special thanks to my brother Jim for sending this adorable collection. Where the source of the photos is known, it is indicated. Take a minute out to enjoy and smile!
