New Smart ID dog tag!!

Another post already!? I know I know, I figure while I am on a roll and have information I should just keep it coming.

This is really quite brilliant I think. A friend of mine, Rachel, who also writes a dog related bog has found a terrific product. It's an I.D. tag for dogs but it's not just any I.D. tag, this one is fixed to the collar so it doesn't jingle AND it has a QR code. The tag still has your dogs name on it and a visible phone number but if you have a smart phone or a friend does that can read QR codes, you can find out the pooches profile. If you don't have a smart phone you can still access the info online. Why is this a GREAT idea? Your information isn't immediately visible for anyone and everyone to see, especially in case your dog's tag falls off. Plus, if your dog somehow gets lost, the chances of him/her being recovered is greater. Here is a link to my friend's review of the product and here is a link to PetHub, the company who makes the tag and stores the database of information. Brilliant! Thanks Rachel!

Also, I came across this great photographer, Seth Casteel who takes amazing dog photos. Some are under water (SO SO SO cool!) and others on land. Here's a teaser but check them out at this link.

Cheers!

It has been a WHIIIIIILE!

I have been an incredible slacker with this blog. So I am going to do a post with all kinds of fun things and information! First, I have to brag a little, my dogs are famous. A few weeks ago we were running around near the jogging path/lake after a big snow storm and a photographer from the tribune was there and snapped a couple of pics. He asked for our names and consent to publish any pics assuming any turned out good enough and boy did they! I saw our pic online, here it is!

Here's a link to it too, it's pic #3. I then found out we made it in the actual Saturday Tribune! We were in the front section on page 4!!!! Here's a pic of me holding the paper. It was a Saturday morning so forget about how I look ;)

FAMOUS I tell you, my boys are FAMOUS!
Ok, onto other things. Here's a great video that shows just how great rescuing can be and how showing a little love can go a long way. Rescuing is SO rewarding so please think about it when looking to add a new furkid to your family.

This is an amazing video that was show partially on a camera mounted to his dogs harness and the other part shot by hand. It is so so so so great, check it out.
