Pet Product Review - Polkadot Bakery Unique Dog Treats Boston
You know whenever I travel I try and find the most unique and special dog store or dog product I can. Well this week I'm in historic Boston and stumbled across a gem. The Polkadot Bakery Unique Dog Treats Boston.
This place is really specially because not only do they sell products that are handmade, all natural and have ingredients specifically selected to suite canine tastes. Their story is as charming as the store. They were inspired by a little homeless dog that warmed their heart. This dog had only one eye and would dance everytime she got a little attention. As it turned out, everyone loved her.
Now one of the things about Summer is that you're always being invited to bbq's and pool parties or to a summer weekend. If you are, think about bringing a Polkadot Bakery gift. I recommend the 16 oz bag of organic dog treats:
The bags are only $10.95 and make the perfect gift. Go to their site for ordering information: http://www.polkadog.com/shop.php?main_page=index&cPath=1
Or if you're in Boston, go to their store: Polka Dog Bakery is located at 256 Shawmut Avenue in Boston's historic South End

The practice of tethering or chaining dogs is never a good one. If you don't have a fenced yard or a way to contain your pet in an area that allows him to exercise, maybe you shouldn't own a pet.
I'm all for pet adoption, but people should remember that dogs need ample room outside in their homes. A small dog needs less room, but there should be enough space to run and stretch and do his business. City dogs need to be taken out regularly.
Never chain or tether a dog. It's just not safe.
I wrote about this issue earlier this year, but it continues to remain in the forefront in many communities. Over the weekend in Huntington, W.Va., a group of citizens chained themselves to posts and trees at a local park to support a local ordinance that would make it illegal to tether dogs during inclement weather.
Chaining a dog under any conditions is unacceptable. Let's hope these folks got their point across - and that they push for a more stringent law after this one passes.

Pet Products Review - Barf World Diet Patties Coupon
Barf World..... well what can I say? What were they thinking when they came up with that name??? I will have to check out their products. I went to their website and it did capture my attention. They claim to be :" "The Place" where common sense pet owners seeking natural, fast, dramatic and lasting improvement in their pet's health come to find solutions." Ok....
Anyway, they have a coupon that is quite substantial, but you have to order prior to July 31th. Here it is:
To those of us who count our dogs and cats as members of the family, hearing the results of a recent poll was no surprise. My wife and I nodded when we saw the story. In many ways, our lives are centered on our three Dachshunds and cat.
I'm sure some will disagree, and that's fine. Anyway, it was interesting to read that an Associated Press-Petside.com poll this week found that half of all American pet owners consider their pets as much a part of the family as anyone in the household. Another 36 percent said their pet, while not a full member, is still a part of the family.
That's 86 percent who feel their pet is at least a part of the family. Personally, I can see why.
We worry when they're sick, we get anxious when they don't eat all their food, we buy them toys to play with and we appreciate their companionship. That's love.
The poll also found that single people were more likely to say a pet was a full member of the family than married people (66 percent of single women vs. 46 percent of married women). Also, men were less likely to call their pet a full member of the family. Another 42 percent said they take their pets on vacation.
The fact is, we love our pets. And they love us back. Isn't that what we expect from family?
