Dog Parks!!!!

If you want to have a good time with your dog and don't have a place for them to run free and enjoy being a dog, a good place to consider is a local dog park. This is a place where you can take your dog and they are free to run leash free and enjoy themselves with other dogs. To find a local dog park near you go to http://www.ecoanimal.com/dogfun or just do a google search for a dog park in your area.

SpringTime!!!

It has become that time of year where your dog will be wanting to spend more time outside. Please remember that if you take your dog to a public park make sure keep them on a leash for safety. But most of all remember to have fun and enjoy your time together.

Doggie Resorts!

Here resently I had to send my dog Gizmo to a doggie/pet resort. I was nervous about it at first because the place that I usually send him to was all booked up and I had to send he to a resort that I didn't know much about. I ended up sending him to Happy Tails Pet Resort in Lanesville, IN. When I went to drop him off I was nervous but soon I realized that the owners and resort was very nice and I felt very comfortable. When sending your dog to a resort to be boarded here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. It is helpful if you have time to go and see the place and tour it before taking your pet there.
2. Make sure that you pet is comfortable before you leave them.
3. Make sure that the resort has all contact information including an emergency contact number in case of an emergency.
Over all the experience was a good one and I will send Gizmo there again.

Spoiled Rotten Dog of the Week! Sam!

My name is Sam. I live with 2 people that I love a lot. They let me get away with a lot of stuff. All I do is show them my big brown eyes that are blood shot, and they give in. When it is time for dinner they get their plates and i get my plate too, which includes the same food that they are eating. When I am ready for my namp I will sleep on the floor or go the couch and put my head on the pillows so they will move them so I can lay down. If they are sitting on the couch when I lay down, I kept looking at them till they know I am wanting my rub now, which must include both hands not just one. I love to go on car rides. Sometimes I even let my humans go to. Just to get them out of the house for a while. I jump up and down so they can see that I am happy that they are going with me. Yes my life is hard but I would not have it any other way!

Sam the dog!!!
