Saturday Survey: Is Your Dog Micro-Chipped?
November 7, 2009
I’ve been working on an article for our doggies den about micro-chipping, and I just wonder how many of you have inserted a micro-chip into your dogs. Or if you’re considering it.
Saturday Survey: Is Your Dog A Hero?
October 31, 2009
If you didn’t notice, most of the posts this week have revolved around the theme of dogs doing something out of the ordinary, many times helping their families out of a jam. Which begs the question, has your dog ever done anything heroic?
