You know that excitement you feel when your dog does something totally unique or strikes the perfect pose… Whether showing off dog fashion or just his or her unique personality, your dog is begging you to take a picture! And because your pampered pet is your furkid, you snap the shot and cannot wait to share it with other dog lovers!
Why not do something really unique, fun, and special? Enter your pampered pooch in the Bloomingtails Dog Boutique Dog Photo Contest, a brand new contest for dogs!
Beginning May 1, 2008, Bloomingtails Dog Boutique will begin collecting picture entries each month, with one special dog chosen by a Guest Judge. Guest Judges will be looking for unique poses that show off personality and style, as well as that special something that just makes a dog stand out above the crowd.
Each of their Guest Judges is chosen from a rescue group to which Bloomingtails Dog Boutique belongs or sends support, not someone from the Bloomingtails Dog Boutique team. By featuring judges from these animal welfare organizations, Bloomingtails Dog Boutique hopes to keep a completely objective approach while collecting pictures and increase awareness and adoption of rescued animals.
Owner Carol Schwed considers improving the lives of rescue animals by providing loving homes a top priority. By increasing awareness of the horrors of puppy mills as well as supporting various rescue organizations, she hopes to make a difference.
She and her husband have adopted many rescue animals for an impressive and wonderful fur family, often saying,
“Saving one dog may not change the world, but for that dog, the world has changed.”
What better way to support the cause of rescue animal adoption, have a blast with your dog pictures, plus get the chance to win fabulous prizes?
The featured prize for May is a collar and matching lead from Loopies, a company that sends a percentage of profit to animal welfare organizations. The winner of May’s contest will get to choose one of three colors for their collar and matching lead. The organization supported by each purchase is inscribed in the inner label of each collar and matching lead, for a truly unique product that makes a statement!
Each month, a new contest will be run, with the opportunity to enter your dog photos. A new Guest Judge will choose the winner each month, with a new prize chosen by Bloomingtails Dog Boutique. The winners will be featured on individual pages per month, as well as announced in the Bloomingtails Dog Boutique monthly newsletter.

The Bark Magazine
The Bark Magazine is our favorite and always has timely relevant articles of interest to pet owners.
This month it has a section on Do It Yourself dog related crafts including a crochet dog collar, a crocheted pet mat and a toy chest.
We highly recommend their reasonable rates for subscriptions and it not basically ads with a few article fillers as we see in most magazines. Annual subscription is $15 with $10 renewals. I gave them as Christmas gifts last year and got a rate of $10 for each one including my own.

Dogs in Danger Website
We have come across a great new website Dogs In Danger.
It is just that, a listing of dogs that are in shelters whose days are numbered before they will be humanely euthanized. While we are opposed to kill shelters in theory, the unfortunate truth is that hundreds if not thousands of dogs are euthanized daily due to lack of space and funding all across the US.
A search can be done by zip code, state or breed.
