Oliver is Too Busy for the
Weekly Preview
by Carrie Boyko, CEB

I guess it falls to me to do All Things Dog Blog's Weekly Preview. Oliver is a bit tied up at the moment. We have had a great time highlighting our favorite dog chow in the past week and are proud to fly their banner at the top of our main column. I'm feeling patriotic in more ways than one today.


This week's wrap up is all about sharing the Organix brand in some fun and fanciful ways:

  • Join us Monday for our favorite Organix Busy Bone recipe--a quick way to prepare a healthy treat that will keep Fido busy for a while when you need a break.
  • My friend Lizzi, of 20something Saver, will be here Tuesday to share some great tips for saving money at the pet superstores. She's got the inside scoop on who takes coupons, who allows stacking and what reward programs offer which benefits. Don't miss this important post for all pet owners.
  • Tuesday is also the announcement of our Potty Park giveaway, a much vied-for prize indeed. I've gotten some horror stories in my email from apartment dwellers that really need this product. We'll see who the winner is on Tuesday.
  • I'm proud to present a recipe on Wednesday for making homemade dog cookies out of those leftover crumbs from the bottom of the dog food bag. What's not to love about this money-saving idea?
  • Thursday we'll go over the procedure for changing your dog's diet. This is important stuff to assure that Fido does not get a tummy ache from a change in what's going into his system. Dogs have sensitive tummies, so a little knowledge goes a long way.
  • And of course, Thursday evening I get the pleasure of drawing 12 names to win the 12 bags of Organix dog food. This should be great fun to announce on Friday. We appreciate our new sponsor, Organix, so very much. It has been our distinct honor to tell you about the many benefits of an organic diet, as well as our love of this particular brand.
  • Saturday I'll be back on track with a toy review for pups who enjoy chasing a treat around the house. We'd all be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't. Oliver is excited to show off his new favorite toy.
From Tanner and Oliver and I, we all wish you a very Happy Memorial Day. Be sure to take a little time off for family and get your pups out for some exercise. Tanner's cut paw pad is healing, so we're hoping for a little outdoor playtime to ease his cabin fever. Happy tails!

Tandy
Tandy is an adoptable Retriever mix available in Pearl City, Hawaii. You can get contact information for her rescue group at the link, where you may find additional information.

If you're looking for a pup that's a bit smaller, check out Shaunee. She's a Chihuahua Terrier mix that weighs in at a whopping 8 pounds. Shaunee is a senior girl available in Waipahu, Hawaii. At age 10 she's still quite healthy and doing well. She will make a wonderful companion for someone who prefers a calmer, less rambunctious housemate.

Let's move on to cats and see what's available in Hawaii. Demi is a young shorthair mix. She's located in Honolulu and you can get more information at the link.

As always, we have to take a look at those wiggly-nosed bunnies. These are the quietest of all pets I've had, if you don't count the rodents! Floppy is a Dwarf rabbit mix available in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. My search did not turn up many rabbits in Hawaii, but check Petfinder again, if you have a different location or look in mind. They're sure to get new listings from time to time.

Remember that when seeking a new furry member for your family, there are thousands of them just waiting to go home with you at shelters and rescues all over the world. We use the Petfinder system to locate these adoptable pets that we highlight here each Sunday. You can too. It's easy to plug in your location and choices to find just the right best friend for you or your family. Best wishes!
