Where to Find Free Dog Tags

Where to Find Free Dog Tags: "If you've ever tried to do a web search for free dog tags, you know what a pain it can be. Websites claim to offer free dog tags, but in fact you have to buy something first. This can be OK in many cases, especially when you need to stock up on pet supplies such as collars, leashes and chains, and other dog supplies. It doesn't cost much to make a dog tag, so manufacturers will offer these for free in many cases. Just imagine your dog's name on a tag, arriving in the mail, and you'll appreciate this personal touch. Alternatively, some websites won't offer free dog tags, but will offer free shipping"

Super Nanny to the Rescue

Super Nanny to the Rescue: "'Okay, here's the deal. I haven't been sleeping well lately. There are several reasons, but the most disruptive one is our new dog. I know. What was I thinking? I'm still asking myself that question. We've taken on a seven-year-old female'quite possibly the sweetest dog on the planet. Our sweet Sugar got to us by way of a breeder house. Busted by dog lovers, the breeder lost her 100 dogs within a day. The dogs were placed with organizations in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Our Sugar, though, isn't housebroken. When I picked up our new dog, the foster mom swore she was. Well, I'm swearing, No she's not! On top of that, she's not familiar with sleeping through the night (meaning she howls for hours). So, this Queen is tired. And, well . . . it's hard to feel queenly when you simply want to crawl back in bed. "

Should Your Family Get a Purebreed Dog?

Should Your Family Get a Purebreed Dog?: "Many people ask the question: 'Should we get a purebreed or a mutt?'
Why is this question so controversial? Is one dog the same as another? Is there a benefit to 'getting what you paid for'?
The truth is that one dog is like another - at least in many respects. What is not true is that every dog is equally suitable for your family. Dog rescuers may tell you to look beyond the breed and breeders tell you that you won't know what you're getting with a mixed breed. They're both right. "
