New Years Resolutions for Pet Lovers

10. No Table Scraps: Our four-legged friends won’t be happy about this one. No more people food from the table or placed in the pet bowl, and no more plate licking either.

9. Nail Trims: Keeping pets nails trimmed properly can be a real challenge but 2008 will be a year of fewer toe nails clicking on floors.

8. Disaster Preparedness: Putting together a pet disaster plan and survival kit is the plan for many pet parents in 2008.

7. Brushing Teeth: It’s recommended that you clean your pet’s teeth at least once a week, but not many pet parents do this.

6. Healthy Treats: Many pet parents plan on “treating” their pets to more natural and organic treats.

5. Sit, Stay, Down: A well behaved pet is also a less stressed pet.

4. Car Safety: Plan to better secure your pets when traveling by car by using a pet car seat, pet safety belt, travel carrier, or pet barrier.

3. More Road Trips: Whether it’s a trip to Grandma’s house, a visit to the pet store, or a trip to the dog park

2. Reduce your pet’s environmental paw-print by choosing recycled, toys and bedding

1. More Exercise: Whether it’s walks, runs, fetch, or hikes. Getting Fido and Fluffy moving is the top New Year’s pet resolution.

I've Been Tagged

Really?? This tag game isn't so fun. The pic isn't of me :-(
This is Will and, I think, Donald pushing his truck to get some cardio in their workout.

I'm don't even have four friends that read this...uh, Meghan?? Kim already did this and she tagged Catherine.
Here are the rules:
1. Find your sixth picture folder and in that folder, the sixth picture.
2. Post it on your blog.
3. Tag four others and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been tagged.

Busy

I feel like my full time job could be dogs, if only I were paid!

Tuesday:
Jade dog park
Buddy practiced down stay, not so hot
Behr running, much better than Monday

Wednesday:
Buddy and Behr playing/running at K.C.'s house in the rain...now smelly
Jade...aww, nothing
Behr Intermediate Group Lessons

HOA

I'm kinda embarrassed and annoyed. Embarrassed that we've let the dogs poop in the pine straw out back around the wooded area. Annoyed that HOA lady complained about wads of hair. Really, so now after I brush them I have to catch it in the wind and bag it. Ahhh, I guess I could turn the fans off and brush inside!

Anyway, over it.
Going running with Behr!
Practiced commands with Jade
Buddy???

Update:
BTW, It sucks running with Behr, well by the middle he was better. But at first, he thinks you're playing and is totally in the way, chewing the leash, jumping, and must be touching you at all times. Will gave me a hard time about secretly not liking him last night and that's the reason I've been only running with Buddy. So I felt guilty. Nope now I remember.

...and yes, I scooped all the poop that has happened today. And I picked it ALL up from the pine straw!

Dog Workouts

Alright if people blog their workouts, I'm going to blog what exercise I do with the dogs...that way I'll feel good about what I'm doing now that it's not cold and dark outside!

Sunday:
Ran with Buddy (I'll clock it soon)
Orbee play with Behr outside
Practiced "come" back and forth between me and Will with Jade.


Why is all that a link???
Dunno, oh well I ran across this picture of Jade today...I love puppies!
