Welcome to this week’s edition of the Pet Blogger Showcase.
Par for the course, I can’t whittle this list down to just three. I. Just. Can’t. So I picked three with an honorable.
All of the entries were just so good. I started reading and pasting links in and when I finished the pawty, I looked at the post and I had five. *SIGH* You guys make it hard!
So here we go!
Life with Dogs
Acupuncture with Bruiser by Christy Caplan at My Life with Dogs – I’m a firm believer in different modalities for treatment. For myself, I prefer to treat as naturally as possible and I carry that philosophy over to my dogs as well. Both of my dogs have had acupuncture and it has helped them both. If you’ve ever considered it, or wondered if it worked…wonder no more.
Meow Lifestyle
Cats of Istanbul by Jenna at Meow Lifestyle – I love reading how other countries handle their stray animals, I think we can learn a lot from different programs that other countries have in place. What surprised me about this post was how Istanbul has a trap/neuter/release program for dogs, but not for cats. In fact, the cats in Istanbul were more like dogs in the way they approach humans, while the dogs were the complete opposite!
All Things Collie
A Danger to Any Dog by Kathleen Piro at All Things Collie – Bloat is one scary disease. Most dogs die, either from the bloat itself, because their owners weren’t aware of the signs, or from surgery. The only dog I’ve ever heard of that survived bloat was Thunder from Two Brown Dawgs, and that’s because Linda knew the signs. It’s such a serious disease that I’ve heard of Military dogs having their stomachs tacked to prevent it. If you have a dog that is on the high risk for bloat list, I encourage you to read this post and know the signs. Heck, even if your dog isn’t a high risk, know the symptoms and signs, you never know whose dog you could help save.
Honorable Mention:
Travels With Barley
That Guilty Feeling by Beth at Travels With Barley – Because really, what owner hasn’t done something inadvertently to their pet, and then carried the guilt after?

Thank you so much for highlighting my post about Acupuncture and the various benefits! I really appreciate it – it has made a huge difference in his mobility and overall health and wellness!
Bloat is terrible. Mom saw a few cases when she worked with her vet friend in Germany and they did not end well. So very painful for the dog too. We have a Golden who is a nose work friend who survived it this summer. Scary, scary thing to have happen.
I had thought I knew a lot about bloat, but I learned some new things from that post. It is definitely scary and we try to be aware for sure.
I loved Beth’s post as well, because we have lost Samantha on several occasions, and found her shut in somewhere! We’ve also lost her and she would magically show up and we never figured out where she was! Cats can be very quiet when they want to be, and I think Sam is harder to see in places since she’s black. 🙂
I’m heading off to read both the acupuncture and bloat articles. Bloat especially scares me, yikes!
The standard I owned before Sam arrived at the Ranch died from bloat. It is a horrible and painful condition and very rarely ends with a happy ending. All the dogs from poodle rescue were bothAll these posts were pawsitively great-another fine job, Jodi.
Have a great weekend. ღ
I had the same problem … so many good posts a couple weeks ago … then again, I guess it’s a nice “problem” to have 🙂
Good choices. I loved Beth’s post.
