Straight From The Blog

We’ve had a lot of activity on the blog in recent weeks. If you’ve missed reading lately, here are a few highlights.

Shelter Sunday recently featured Sundance of NOLA Lab Rescue and Malibu of Homeward Bound Greyhound.

We featured interesting results from a recent Reader’s Digest poll: Cat People vs. Dog People, and a heartwarming story about reuniting dogs from Afghanistan with vets. We also learned about the safety of spot-on flea and tick treatments.

Tuesday Top Eight (usually top ten but we made an exception here) gives us the top life lessons as taught by Boxers and last but not least, an important Christmas Reminder: No Dogs Under the Tree.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
