How to Make an Interactive Dog Toy

I tried this with Neo, he chased the container under the couch where he proceeded to stick his butt up in the air and his head under the couch making all of us laugh at his crazy antics.


He eventually took the lid off, I swear hes smarter than an octopus!!

Neo

I want to introduce you to my side kick & inspiration for my dog tags, the most amazing dog in the world Neo.

Once Upon A Time in a land not far from here known as Roseville, California, lived an amazing woman who saved cats & dogs from shelters.  She worked for a organization called SIAR (Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers).

One day in February she adopted a tiny black dog from the shelter that was very small.  The next day to her surprise she had a litter of 8 fat and healthy pups, one of those pups was Neo.

To make a very long story short, he found me and was not going to let me leave with out him (he brought me his leash, and when I tried to leave he ran to the door and pawed at it, who could say no?)  soo I  adopted him, enough words, here are some pictures of the cutest dog in the world!

The Story of Booger

Once upon a time ... in the magical land of Slot Machines and Keno (Las Vegas) there was a homeless Dachshund walking around town.  On a chance encounter he met my Auntie Clara on  her way to Mass, she said to him "Go Away" but he happily trotted along side her wagging his tail.


On her way back home he followed her to her house, my uncle Ray who was an ornery old man said "what you got there" my aunt replied "This dog followed me to mass and back, I told him to go away but he will not" my uncle looked at the dog and said "Well you got yourself a Booger" and that was it Booger had a name and a home.


They loved Booger so much that when my sister & I met him his belly was almost dragging on the ground from his leftover Bacon diet.  My aunt would give him the scraps of all their meals, and when we went to dinner, there was always a doggy bag for Booger.


As time went by Booger got older and he past away, my Aunt had him cremated and later that summer while helping her with yard work, we held a little ceremony and we buried him by his favorite tree stump.


In honor BOOGER I have made the Booger tag, I think the green would have been perfect against his chocolate colored fur & It reminds me of a once sweet angel of a dog, hope you all like it!

Animals Inside

Having a pet is similar to having a child, and as with a child we all have a responsibility to keep them safe.

This is why when a pet loving friend pointed out to me that I needed an Emergency sticker on my window in case of fire, that I immediately took action.  She pointed me to a web address online where I could get a Free Pet Safety Pack and I jumped on the internet and filled out the forms, a few days later a Pet Safety Pack arrived and now I have a lovely sticker on my front door window that says "ANIMALS INSIDE" In case of fire or emergency, I love it.  

In our busy lives sometimes it is hard to take time out and check for the important safety things that our loved ones will need in case of an emergency, I thank my sweet friend for pointing this out to me, and now I am sharing this important information with you.  

What is your emergency plan for your pet?  Do you have Fire or Emergency sticker placed on a window in the home?  

If not here is the link to the Free Pet Safety Pack: http://www.aspca.org/about-us/free-aspca-stuff/free-pet-safety-pack.html
