Dogs on your iPhone

Did you know that Apple has doggy apps for your iPhone? If you are a savvy iPhone user you already knew that. There are apps to find a vet, a doggy day care and even apps on training tips. The iPhone is becoming the new computer. They are also expensive little gadgets too. Some of my friends have even gotten an extended iphone warranty for them. I can't wait until they get away from just having them used on certain cell phone providers and have them as a pay as you go system. Until then I'll just put those apps on my iPod....which I still can.

Summer dog shows

Like any woman, I like to go shopping. I enjoy a great sale, but what I enjoy more is going to a dog show. I am not much for the conformation classes but I do enjoy the obedience trials. You can count on me to watch from start to finish any obstacle course classes at the show. One of the best ways to locate a dog show in your area is to go to the American Kennel Club website and check out the dog show schedule. The website is AKC.org

Yogurt and cottage cheese

The benefits are great when you feed your dog cottage cheese or yogurt. Both are high in protein and offer an alternative to regular dog food when your dog is recovering from surgery. Often a vet will suggest a diet of cottage cheese and cooked rice for dogs having digestive problems. Yogurt is also well liked by the humans at my house. It also doubles as one of the best acne treatments for humans there is. One FYI, don't feed the flavored yogurt to your dog, just the plain variety. 

Dog Adoption

I have a question. When there are thousands of non-disabled dogs that are put to sleep each day because there are not enough homes for them, why does it seem that people and the media go out of their way to promote and adopt disabled dogs? Is it some sort of disability appealing to our senses? I have no answers to these questions. I also find it interesting that dog rescues will go out of their way to beg for donations for an expensive surgery for a dog in need, yet say they don't have the funds to foster several non-disabled dogs for a month.
