• Dog Sharing ?

  I have recently found out about dog sharing, where people who can't cope through illness or infirmity or because they are suddenly working away or for whatever reason are finding it hard not to neglect their dog and wonder what to do about it. So dog sharing is where you share the care of your dog with someone else in the local community. It could be anything from occassional walks to a second home and anything in between. I found a website that facilitates it at http://dog.findashare.com but I am getting second thoughts now. Is it good for the dog as well as the owner, and if not, what are the alternatives if you just can't cope full time like you used to? I am having a real dilema about what's best and if this is a good or a bad thing. My trouble is I can see both sides of the coin equally!

• Custom Dog Bed from theDogLife

  I was looking everywhere for a bed that would fit directly into my dogs crate or would be close but after months of looking I almost gave up. Finally I found a company called theDogLife (www.thedoglife.ca) that made what they were calling "custom dog beds". I sent an email and within a few minutes I had a reply from the company saying they will make ANY size I wanted. I got a quote on a complete custom bed, 24.5" x 32" x 2" made of their microfiber material (like my couch) and my bed was shipped out in under a week! All said and done, my pup and I couldn't be happier! Check them out if you need a dog bed and the usual stores just aren't cutting it. thedoglife.ca Cheers, James
