Dog Blogs, Best of the Week

Dog blogs, best of the week is a roundup of posts I’ve read and want to share with you, to be enjoyed during a moment of weekend leisure, or whenever you can steal a few minutes.  Some are funny, some serious, but all are worth a look! If you see a post you feel is share-worthy, just send me the link in the comments and I’ll try to include it.

Amelia Glynn at SFGate’s pet blog Tails of the City posted her piece on the Pawscars, and there are plenty of movies sanctioned by American Humane designated no animals harmed, among them Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as best newcomer, referring to the Neopolitan Mastiff who came from an abusive home only to blossom with all the kindness and attention received on set. The choice for best chase scene was that from Hotel for Dogs when the most dogs ever in an American Humane approved film ran through the streets of the set.  It took a couple of weeks of rehearsing–how about those smart rescue dog actors!

Karen Friesecke of Doggiestylish has a post on the second worst dog product of all time and I really can’t say anything about it or I’ll give the whole thing away! You’ll see what I mean when you give it a click:) Friesecke also has wonderful handmade collars, leashes, and how-to tutorials on do it yourself designs.

Christie Keith at Pet Connection asked how far is too far to go for a sick pet in her post Chasing Miracles that shares stories of the beginning of endings, offering observations on how we might recognize when we have done enough.  This question of where do we draw the line has been a theme running through several blogs this year, including this one. The comments are often heartfelt, helpful, even healing through common experience.

Hope you had a great Sunday!
