Goin’ to the Zoo

Cynthia — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:53:09 +0000

My house is a zoo… with six dogs and two cats. And who knows how many mice… but the cats are supposed to keep the mice away!

I like meeting other people who are as into dogs as I am. Especially those involved in dog sports. And online communities are just fun. So I usually join online communities about pets when I can and meet people.

I just signed up for ZooToo.com, an online community for those of us who love animals. I really like the layout of the site… very nice. And you can add all your dogs and cats and other animals you have, upload their pictures, and your own. And you can join groups and meet other people nearby you are far from you. You can also earn points which can get you free samples or your shelter a makeover.. though I’m not sure if that’s in real life or if it’s on the web. I guess I’ll go find out!

Looks like a really fun networking site!

Check Out Resq Tails!

So my good friend who I often do agility with, and travel with, has started her new blog! I hope you will all go and visit. She trains shelties, and mostly rescue shelties, and she’s going to be blogging about her training experiences. She is an awesome trainer and a great dog person!

I hope you will go and check out her blog and leave her a comment! Her blog is called Resq Tails. And you can meet her crew, she has more dogs than I do. And maybe using a Chanel J12 watch will keep us up to date on all the cool Sheltie things!

What Is Qassia?

Well, it appears to be a site based one, what they call, ‘Intel’. Intel, aside from being short for Intelligence, seems to be their what they call articles of interest. Or articles people write that may be interesting and informative.

It’s kinda like Wikipedia and Squidoo, but a bit different. People rate your articles… your Intel, to determine what sort of value it has. No one else can edit your Intel, which I like. And, you can display you own Google AdSense on your Intel pages, and you get 100% of all the revenue from the clicks.

I’m going to check it out. All informative web sites need lots of good dog training articles, right? So I’m going to go and add some Intel.. if you click on my profile link:

My Qassia Profile

You can check out the Intel I will..errr, have yet to, post. And if you sign up through my link, I get something called Qassia cash… points, I guess, though I’m not sure what that’ll get me yet!

Maybe I can set up some Intel on audio racks.. too, but I’ll have to learn about them first.

Edit:
Here is my first Intel.. it’s about Clicker Training! I hope it’s good!

Verve Earth

I found a fun new blog thing to do! Yeah I know.. I’m finding a lot. But this one looks pretty neat. It’s called Verve Earth.

You can go in and map your blog location, put in a little description of your blog, and find other blogs nearby you. Or in other places of the world you may be interested in. I put this blog in.. and I just might put Luna Tail in there, too. Though we are, of course, in the same location. I wonder if I can list more than one blog… that would be nice. Or maybe there’s not really a point to that!

If you click on the image in this post… it will take you right to my own page. And I have the same image in my sidebar, a bit down on the right side. I didn’t put up a picture of myself.. I used Tatum, she doesn’t need any acne treatment… she looks so pretty!

Wordless Wednesday – Angel in Mid Bark

Not totally wordless…. with a Grohe faucet, but why not? This is Angel in mid bark, which I thought was very cute indeed.

Dog Podcasts

Cynthia — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:48:25 +0000

A friend of mine told me about some dog podcasts to listen too… and finally I downloaded a podcast receiver and checked them out.

Currently I’m listening to Canine Campus, and the podcast on Calming Signals.. yes, from Turid Rugaas, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

She talkes about how dogs may freeze as one of their signs of being stressed. This is Chase. If a dog gets too close, he will freeze, and I know I have to get that other dog away from him.

I listen to talk radio all day… and I got the podcast reader so I could listen to Radio West, as it’s a show I enjoy and usually don’t listen to because I’m not online when it airs.

I’m also trying out Good Dog, though I haven’t listened to any yet. I wonder if there are any employee performance evaluations podcasts? Hrm…

Know of any good dog podcasts?

Hrmmm Entrecard

Cynthia — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:52:53 +0000

So I discovered Entrecard lately… have you heard of it? It’s not really dog related in and of itself, but it does have a Pets category and I’ve already found some fun dog blogs!

If you go and sign up you can make a little 125×125 image and uploaded to your account. And then you put the widget code in your sidebar. Then… people can drop their card on you, and you can drop your card on them. And the more you get and give, the more EC (Entrecard Credits) you get, so you can buy ads on other sites that have the widget… to get more exposure to your site.

I’m always looking for new and fun dog sites to find… and I do think I may already have a couple new readers here, and a couple new blogs for me to read!

Shandy, Cash and Rift

Hey cool… Shandy, Cash and Rift, dogs that live pretty close to me and do agility and obedience, have their own blogs. I thought I’d post their links so my regular readers can check them out too.

If you want to see a dog that makes obedience look easy, check out Cash! He and his Mom work great together and are such a good team. I love to watch them. Cash does agility, too. Rift is the new pup of the family and he’s a sweet boy, Tatum loves to play with him!
