My mom sent me this story and it makes me so happy. Please read about Bob Votruba, his rescue dog, Bogart, and their quest to spread kindness. If only there were more Bobs and Bogarts in the world!

This article from Fox News in Las Vegas puts a smile on my face. I think we should start a trend…even if you’re not adopting a dog, I think we should all call up our local shelter and donate the equivalent of one adoption fee. Whether you “pay it forward” like the people did in [...]

Every year I get a calendar that gives back to a dog charity. It’s something that I need anyway and I love dog photography, so it’s a bonus that dogs in need benefit from my purchase. There are so many out there to choose from, but this year I bought the Chuck Calendar from Dooce. [...]
I love the statement that this postcard makes and I hope that these can be used to help educate people about the horrors of puppy mills…they are definitely the dirty little secret of the dog world. You can get five postcards and two bumper stickers for $5 from The Fleas Knees. They also have these [...]

I’ve got wine on the brain–maybe it’s because I haven’t gotten to enjoy a good glass of wine for the last 10 months! When I do get to have a glass again, I’d like to support a great company like these:

This site cracks me up. People send in decorated 4″x6″ postcards of their dogs and their “confessions” and they are posted on the site “Dogfessions” by Nikki Moustaki. What is a “Dogfession? “Dogfession: noun; A confession concerning canines; a secret in your heart that you’d only share with your dog; or a secret you wouldn’t [...]

I love great rescue groups and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa represents my home state well. They have so many great programs and I wanted to share one of them with you. AniMeals helps families feed their pets nutritious food, even when they are financially strapped. It’s like Meals-on-Wheels…but for pets! I think it’s [...]
What search engine do you use when trying to find something online? What if you could use six of the main search engines (Google, Ask, Yahoo, etc) all at once? Even better, what if you could fight animal cruelty and help homeless animals just by searching? Well I’ve got good news for [...]
