"For Dogs Only"

Tired of the same old dog beds laying around your house? Do you suppose your dog might like something a little more comfortable, elegant, orthopedic or soft? There is a neat site called For Dogs Only that has a great choice of all kinds of dog beds, and yes, even orthopedic beds. You have just got to check out these beds - they are terrific. As they state:
"There is nothing like the love and loyalty of our beloved dogs.They deserve the best that we can give them. Choose from our vast supply of Dog Beds to return just a portion of their love. looking for luxury or beds that are not usually found elsewhere.. then browse our Designer Dog Beds. For older dogs our orthopedic dog beds may be the answer. Others may need a bolster or donut dog bed....No matter what the need we have your bed."

Finding a lost dog

I more or less stumbled onto this site and found it to be a truly good idea. Fido Finder® - Where Lost Dogs Are Found, can unite a very lost member of the family and its owner.

How This Site Works
Why Register?
By registering with Fido Finder, you will be registering your dog's vital information, such as name, breed, gender, color, and postal code. If your dog is ever lost, the person who has found your dog will be able to locate you based on the postal code in which the dog was found. Don't worry. Fido Finder takes into consideration surrounding postal codes when notifying dog owners that a possible match was just added to Fido Finder. Fido Finder does not use the information gathered during registration for any purpose other than helping Lost Dogs find their homes.

Dog Training Site

I have come across a really great dog training web site. I want to pass it on in case someone is looking for some good training advice.

From the sites owners " What Makes Us Special?

Unlike other puppy training websites that promise overnight results, Puppywishes.com has built its reputation on providing the public with gimmick free puppy training advice. We have done away with zappers, clickers, halters, and chains, and provide the most holistic puppy training approach available. "

Dog Names

Every now and them we receive an email from someone giving us their dogs name and they tell us why they named them with that name. I'd like to share this email and we see how unique names come about.

"I just found your site and wanted to let you know that our sable Chinese Shar-Pei we had for 13 years was named Ripli. I tried to think of a name that would describe her endless wrinkles without being cutesy pootsey and frou-frou. I came up with that name because I used to skim rocks on the ponds at the farm when I was little. You see, I grew up on a farm. The ripples seemed to go on forever across the pond; you couldn't tell where they stopped...just like her wrinkles. They started at the top of her head and didn't stop until her tail, but looking at her from the front, they went on forever. You might not think that her name was that unique, but we liked it. She was the only Ripli at my vet's office...until someone waiting in my vet's office one day heard me call her name and then named her new puppy the same durn thing. I just told Ripli that it was O.K. since she was the original Ripli-Dog. We sure do miss her crazy self.
Sincerely,"

Thanks Julie for a neat email.
