Do You Have a Green Dog?

Okay I don’t mean, is your dog green, like he’s a leprechaun or something. :) I mean green as in environmentally friendly.

I recycle when I can, I try to turn off the lights and the heat down (my husband and I are always arguing about the heat, too hot for me, too cold for him). I would like to do more environmentally friendly things with the dogs.

There are some great websites out there if you are interested in having a green dog. What did we do before the internet? No idea, having all this information at our fingertips makes life so much better!

So Check out these sites:
Raise a Green Dog Squidoo Lens
Raise a Green Dog Blog
The Environmental Impact of Pets – Article
Green Dog Supply Blog

I am considering buying some Bio Bags, not only for the dogs and cats, but also for ourselves. And I want to start bringing my own bags to the grocery store. I don’t know why, I feel like kinda a dweeb when I bring my own bags to the store. But I really should feel good about it!

Responsible Pet Blogger

Well I’m a bit late on the bandwagon but I do love the Responsible Pet Blogger idea from Fuzzy Logic!

So we are putting up our badge, here, and on the sidebar.

Responsible Pet Blogger

Because being responsible with animals of all kinds is extremely critical nowadays. Animals are not disposable temporary pieces of furniture that you can throw away after you are bored with them. They are living beings with full lives, a full range of emotions and amazing personalities. Be responsible!

Very Good Lenses

I just thought I’d post about some really informative and interesting Lenses on Squidoo by Johann the Dog. Since we do dog sports we are very interested in the ones about canine fitness.

Johann has a bunch of lenses you might find very interesting. I swear he must spend all his time online while his Mom is off working to support his internet and agility habits! ;)

Squidoo Dog Blog Lens

So I’m learning about Squidoo, and there are things I really like about it. I have a lens for Tip Tail but I haven’t updated it for a while, I really need to add more and learn some good layout tips from other lenses.

There is a dog blog lens that looks great. I’m surprised Johann hasn’t told me about it! He’s the Squidoo dog champ. ;) Anyway, check it out, looks like a great dog blog resource.

And we all love computer stuff, including intranet software, it’s fun to be a dog geek and a computer geek. ;) These guys have a 30 day free trial of their software, they offer hosted management and website content management.

Collies on the Web!

I don’t often find collie blogs on the web. But a collie blogger found me! She has a gorgeous sable and white rough collie named Maudie she does obedience with, and she is planning on having Maudie be a therapy dog, too. Collies are great therapy dogs. They are friendly, mellow, loving and sweet, and gorgeous too.

And the rough sables look so much like Lassie that they bring a smile to anyone’s face. When I took Sonny for a walk last night I got two ‘Lassie’ comments about him, from people I’ve never talked to before, and we only went for 20 minutes!

Anyway, check out The 4th Dog for some great collie info. :)

Plug for Sis

I have to breifly plug my sister’s new blog. :) She is in the process of getting internet access at her house, so her blogging is limited for a while. But once that comes through, in about a week or so, she’ll be blogging just like the rest of us nuts.. errr…I mean, the rest of us wonderful people! LOL

Lone Black Spider is the name of her blog and I hope you will go and check it out and leave her a comment.

And someday, when I redo my kitchen, I’m going to look into some really nice and fun kitchen faucets! :)

Love those fruits and veggies link love!

What a completely fun idea. A very cool twist on the Tags that have been going around lately. Not only is it fun, and gets us links, it will contain a whole host of great information about fruits and veggies we can feed our dogs! I hope you will sign up! Johann is such a smart dog!

—————Copy and paste below this line——————

There are all kinds of fruits and veggies that are good for us dogs, right? Well, let’s make a list! And get some link love in the process.
Instructions:

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “Fruits/Veggies LinkLove” below, courtesy of Johann The Dog!

2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Fruits/Veggies” in the matrix with the name of the fruit or veggie and URL of your blog.

3.) Be sure that the fruit or veggie that you list is REALLY safe for dogs. Do your research, K?

4.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Fruits/Veggies”, practice good paw by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Fruits/Veggies” below.

5.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow fast. And if your not a dog, but your blog about dogs you are also welcome to participate – just make sure you do your research! Safety first!

Host Tag: Bananas – Tip Tail

1. Blueberries – JohannTheDog
2. Bananas – Tip Tail
3. Apples – The Adventures of Spencer: Sticker Dog’s Mascot’s Blog

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag”; here, replacing one of the “Fruits/Veggies”; from the matrix above. As more and more doggie bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copies and pastes from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

There it is folks. This should help you improve your Technorati ranking, SERP and Google PR and get you noticed with more blogs – we all like making friends, right? Please leave a comment here if you have copied from this matrix so that I can add you just in case your ping-back didn’t reach me.

Remember, before giving anything to your dog, research or ask your vet if the food is safe. Obligatory disclaimer: No entities and individuals participating or involved in this project will be liable for any injury or illness that could arise from feeding your dog the items listed and included in this list. Practice responsibility, K?
