The Season of Winter

Blog # 27
Winter is here (well at least the month of winter is here)!

Some may experience cold weather, but we can't forget our fellow cainine companions. Even though they may not show signs that they are experiencing the cold weather, they could still catch a cold or pnuemonia- especially puppies or older dogs.

here are a few tips on keeping your dogs warm and safe during the winter season:

1) Try to let your dog sleep inside and avoid having him sleep outside

2) If possible, purchase them a doggie bed or crate to prevent them from sleeping on the cold floor

3)Feed your dog more food...extra food+ extra weight=more warmth

4) Buy them warm jackets (yes, jackets), booties or blankets so thay can have something warm to cuddle in

Black Friday

It,s black Friday and yes, it's true.... Dog stores are having sales too!

Petsmart is offering 50% off all pet holiday brand toys, collars, raw hides and many more things. This offer only took place on black Friday, the infamous day where people crowd the doors before dawn to get the great discounts on items they have been waiting to get all year long.

Some people may think...why do dog stores participate in black Friday?

Well owning a dog is expensive so having a day were dog products are half off is something every dog owner shouldn't miss out on!

Every thanksgiving after the Macy's thanksgiving day parade on NBC, there is the popular dog show presented by Purina where dogs of all breeds strut their stuff to win the top prize.

This competition was filmed on Novemeber 14 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.

I have always wondered how these dogs become famous. After researching I found out there are some dog talent agencies.

One famous talent agency is Hollywood Paws.

Some of their credits include:

Legally Blonde

Hotel for Dogs

Several Disney films

and other tv shows.

Try thinking of some famous dogs you know of, there are a lot out there!

Dogs at Work

I came on a family vacation and I couldn't help to notice how some dog owners in Tennessee take their dogs to work.

I visited a flee market, and there was a dog sitting on it's owners kettle corn truck.

I strolled down Downtown Chattanooga and there was a dalmation sitting with the carriage ride owner waiting for a customer.

If only Los Angeles had this kind of lifestyle, where dogs are included in their everyday work life.
