Weekend Update February 5, 2010

Dogs Welcome Sign

I missed posting the Weekend Update for last weekend. Things were heating up here at Dog Spelled Forward World Headquarters and I didn’t have the time to put together a decent list of news and posts. Fortunately this week is a very different story with some great information on the blogosphere.

The mercury has broken 30 degrees a few times over here and I’m already thinking about spending some time outdoors. The Take Paws blog over at Go Pet Friendly had a couple of great posts about dining with your dogs. While being able to take our dogs to a outside cafe for a bite (no pun intended) may seem like a no-brainer to us, some don’t like the idea of eating with dogs around.

Speaking of travel, truth be told I don’t travel a lot and I am no expert. But I am starting to think about it a bit more and I’ve started to subscribe to a few very interesting blogs to get some pointers. Dog Jaunt posted a great article this week on packing for air travel with a small dog. Since I can’t even pack for myself (just ask my wife) I found this very useful.

How about grooming? I’m sporting a bit of a Grizzly Adams look at the moment and need all the help I can get taking care of a fuzzy character like Buddha. Will My Dog Hate Me gave me a new perspective on what grooming means and how to make it seem more manageable.

Earlier I linked to a story about Baltic, a dog that was rescued from the Baltic Sea last week, over on the Dog Spelled Forward Facebook Page. At the time, the identity of Baltic’s family and where he would end up was still unknown. Well, Baltic’s fate has been decided and I couldn’t hope for a happier ending.

  • I really like the weekend updates...we all see so many stories fly by each week and don't get the opportunity to stop and read them all. This is a great way to catch up, well, theoretically anyway:) Thanks!
  • Thanks!

    Thanks for the mention. I hadn't thought of dog grooming as it might apply to humans (only cars, as my metaphor went), but if people think it's ok to apply dog training methods to children then why not grooming? Oh wait, that was Cesar Millan's pack leader methodology they wanted to apply... maybe not such a good idea after all.
  • Eh...some kids might benefit from a poodle cut.
