We need a contest to get us in the spirit.
I am willing to give three prizes; some sort of exo-friendly product from my vendor friend Planetbluedog.com. One will be a large folding water bowl, ice a treat dispenser which is almost indestructible, and the huck (Barb's favorite and indestructible). I am going to start advertising on facebook to get more members. There is so much information out there that we can discuss and pass on. I need your help. Please reply with suggestions. One of mine would be possibly submissions for a potential children's book that helps them learn about how to be around dogs or to value canines as they age and be advocates. Or maybe a photo contest of some sort. Then I would draw the winners. You send suggestions and the contest is on Sept. 1st.

I love photo competitions too, but I'm unable to post any at present. Is anyone else having similar problems?

[k9mania]

I will test out putting up photos. I know that my son's server was out a few months ago.

I like the photo competitions too. I love to see everyone's pix of there dogs.

Yes Sandy, I havent been able to post any pix thru the site in several month. I have to post them on MY website and then use a "linking" code to make them show up.

If you have a "photobucket" type of site you can host the pix on, I can post the code for linking to it here!

Michael thank you, but all that sounds very complicated for me - I'm not very good with stuff like that! Hopefully we'll soon be able to post pictures the simple way. I do love photos!

10 Rules to go over with your kids about Dog Safety

1. I will not stare into a dog's eyes.
2. I will not tease dogs behind fences.
3. I will not go near dogs chained up in yards.

5. If I see a loose dog, I will tell an adult immediately.
6. I will not run and scream if a loose dog comes near me.
7. I will stand very still (like a tree), and will be very quiet if a dog comes near me.
8. I will not touch or play with a dog while he or she is eating.
9. I will not touch a dog when he or she is sleeping.
10. I will only pet a dog if I have received permission from the dog's owner.
11. Then I will ask permission of the dog by letting him sniff my closed hand.

How Dogs Think and Learn
Dogs don't think like humans do. Dogs live in the now - what happens NOW..not what happened 10 minutes ago or what might happen 10 minutes from now. Dogs remember things that are repeated over and over again - which is how we teach our dogs to sit, stay, and come on command.
