Good Stuff OverLoad

Ever feel like there is so much stuff out there that you ultimately feel lost? Have you ever found yourself reading one thing-then get part way through it only jump on a link to a related subject? It’s a maddening circle.

Ugh.

My brain is on spin cycle.

In a 15 minute time span one night, I managed to stumble upon several great things all related to dogs and loving your dogs. I wasn’t even looking around for “dog” anything, magically they appeared. I ended up favoritizing (my new word) several sites so I could go back and really read them after I untangled my brain.

So, without further ado , I give to you what I discovered. By the way, I don’t have permission to reprint their stuff---I can only direct you to them.

Read, Jump and Enjoy….

• A local San Jose pooch becomes online sensation when he is caught smiling (seriously, true story) at his birthday cake!

• You gotta love Mashable for all they deliver. Leave it Amy-Mae Elliott who gives us a list of 10 Best iPhone Apps for Dog Lovers. I know, what will they think of next?

• Getting a new mutt? Well then, the folks at Real Simple have put together a New Dog Owner Check List. Of course, when you get the new dog, you will probably need a dog sitter (you heard right). There’s a Pet-Sitter Hiring Checklist for that, too.

• Finally, that dog is going to get hungry sooner or later. That’s when our friend Rachael Ray comes to the rescue with “Thank Your Dog Casserole” and other great feasts for Fido.

I hope these are useful sites for you and your mutt! Tell me what you think-I would love to hear from you!

Woof!

Island Dog's own "Honey" on USA Today Paw Print Post

Isn't Twitter fun? We think so.

This morning, @crittersize tweeted (is that a word?), "Today's challenge: Looking for 24 photos of pets now". Naturally, I clicked it.

The link took me to a USA Today blog by Janice Lloyd. Answering to her challange, we submitted our photo and whoa-la...there was Honey--posted!

Have some fun today before you go off to the Super Bowl parties. Read a couple of blogs, jump around on links that lead to more links and get a new friend on Twitter like @islanddoggear .

Photo credits: The photograph was shot by David Martinez. The super-cute dogel is Honey,a lab mix who was lucky enough to be adopted from a rescue shelter by David. Honey enjoys life in Portola Valley, California.

reBlog...Spreading Island Love For Pets!

This original entry was posted on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009 at 7:02 pm by Marmy Kodras.

At the beginning of this week, I saw a LinkedIn post from Cheryl Cardamon about a website called Island Dog Gear…now I don’t know about many of you but for me, it was like the angels were singing!!! I was born and raised in Hawai’i and have always tried to keep items around my house that remind me of the islands. I haven’t physically lived there since the mid 90’s. It’s also been a very important thing to have my fuzzy children either decked out in Hawaiian apparel or have toys around that remind me of the islands. It wasn’t until this past summer that I realized in searching for hawaiian gear for pets that I was having no luck in doing so…With all of the other combinations and options for collars, leashes, bling, apparel, etc. for dogs, why couldn’t I be able to find prints from Hawaii? Well since I’ve come across their site…I can now rest assured that my fuzzy kids (who have always had Hawaiian names) will never be without their hawaiian gear! Now that we’ve just added a new addition to our family, the new fuzzy kid will also know what it’s like to not only have a Hawaiian name, but to also show off her heritage! They even have a blog to boot!

If you love, and I really mean, love your dogs like we do and you are longing for the island thing for them…then “E Komo Mai”…after all if you can’t make it to the islands (like the President and first family) you can at least look like your dogs went there!

Funny thing about dogs---

My dog is spoiled. He has been served gourmet meals. He’s pampered with grooming-he gets his teeth brushed for him. I don’t even go to a day spa ever. He has a backyard to run in and has plenty of neighborhood squirrels to bark at. On a regular basis, he eats tons of dog cookies for doing mediocre tricks. He’s often told, “You’re a lucky dog”.

Sound familiar?

Winter is rolling around here in northern California so his grandpa thought a nice, new, cozy place would be the right thing for him. Out of the kindness of his heart, grandpa got busy with a custom new dog house, complete with wall-to-wall carpet. The place even has a porch!

Well-the dog won’t move in. He lies on the porch of the dog house. He snuggles up against the outside of his house. He just won’t go in. Even when it’s raining, he still prefers the wet lawn.

Maybe he was scared of the dark dog house. So, lights on a timer were installed---seriously. Still no dog in the doghouse. Then grandpa made it extra cozy with a very small space heater…imagine, a warm place on a chilly night. Nope, nada, forget it-he just won’t go in.

I suppose deep inside, he remains a Dog. He’s not a People, so in his book some things don’t fly for him and Doghouses are one of them. He is wearing his winter coat and possibly that’s good enough.

Dogs are smart and perhaps the joke is on us. Maybe in his dog-mind he’s wondering how far grandpa will go to get him to move in. After all, grandpa did try luring him in the doghouse with treats, this may be part of his “doggy” strategy to get more stuff.

If grandpa goes to Best Buy for plasma TV sized for the doghouse-then I’ll know for sure.
