Celebrate your best friend

Celebrate your pet this October. The Daily Herald has a special section strictly for posting celebrations, announcements, or simply a happy moment! The month of October they will be dedicating this section to pets. You can visit their website and send them a picture of your best friend and a brief description as to why you want to celebrate him or her. Did he graduate at the top of his obedience class? Did he finally catch the Frisbee in agility trials? Or perhaps you simply want to celebrate that special bond that the two of you share. http://mycelebrate.dailyherald.com/dh-adportal/index.html
Yes, for those of you wondering I have already sent in my picture of Toby! We are simply celebrating him! We are celebrating what a loyal, and loving family member he has been over the years.

Toby might have all of the Peanut Butter Rawhides bought but there is plenty of other things to pick from!

Thunderwear for dogs

I would have never believed it until I saw it in person. Toby saw too, he was not so keen on it prefers to hang out under my bed in the case I am speaking of! Allie Toby's friend next door gets so stressed out over thunderstorms and fireworks she usually has a panic attack and needs to take anxiety medicine. Until recently she was fine with the medicine after all she got to take it with a treat! She is now 5 and smart enough to know better! Her Mom was talking to their vet about other solutions and he recommended Thunderwear. It is basically a large tight fitting shirt that the dog wears and it helps to calm them during stressful situations! Some dogs I know want nothing to do with wearing clothing, but for those who do, sound like a pretty neat idea. The Daily Herald had an article on it on the 15Th of August. You can go the following site for more information http://www.dogstuff.com/page.html?chapter=0&id=29. It does come in various colors for those pooches who are fashionable!
