Welcome and thank you for joining me for this week’s Pet Blogger Showcase. I hope you enjoy the posts I chose as much as I did.

Proper Puppy Enrichment is Important – Madison’s First Two Weeks by Emma Dog at my GBGV Life – Exposing puppies to as many experiences as possible is so crucial in their development. The crew at My GBGV life is really having fun with Madison. Siriusly, I could watch her chasing Bailie through the tunnel all day long. And besides which…PUPPY!

 

A Well Socialized Puppy is a Happy Puppy by Kathleen at All Things Collie – One of the things I’ve learned from the blogging world, is how a responsible breeder raises puppies. I truly believe if all dogs were socialized from such a young age, there would be very few dogs in shelters. And also. Puppies!!

Living With a Dog’s Luxating Patella by Jan at Wag ‘N Woof Pets – Luke was diagnosed with a Luxating Patella at a very young age. Jan and her husband decided to treat it conservatively, which is also how we treated Sampson’s partial cruciate tear. As it turns out, the conservative treatment for the luxating patella, is almost identical to the conservative management of a cruciate tear. Not surprising at all, I guess, considering they are both knee injuries.

Honorable Mention:

Tramper’s Sunday Selfie by Animal Shelter Volunteer Life – How sweet is this guy? I love how she uses the Sunday showcase, to share a different shelter cat every week.

So those are my picks, did you have a favorite that I missed?

Welcome and thanks for joining me for this week’s Pet Blogger showcase.

I have to admit something…these five week months are throwing me off! Every other week is easier to remember. 🙂

But I remembered!! So here we go, my ‘showcased’ posts from the last linky party!

Barley is the New Poetry (Part 2) by Beth at Travels With Barley – I love the fun and creativity of “spine poetry.” I can see how this exercise might be a good way to break up boredom, or say…writer’s block. Yeah. Check it out.

Pet Obesity: Costly to Pets and Pet Parents by Dolly the Doxie – Obesity is an epidemic in this country and it isn’t just humans either.  Obesity in pets is reaching an epidemic proportion 58% of cats and 54% of dogs in this country are considered obese. If your pet or a pet you know if overweight, check out Dolly’s tips for shedding that extra weight.

How to DIY Leather Dog Sofa by Robin T at ReDo It Yourself Inspirations – This post just blew my mind. When their new rescue dog, Danny, was looking for a bed of his own, Robin didn’t just buy him a bed. She didn’t repurpose a bed. She BUILT him one! I’ve heard of DIY posts, but this one, holy shit.  I can’t even.

So how’d I do? What were your favorites from the last linky party?

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!

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.

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!

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:

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?
