Around the dog blog-o-sphere!

It's time for our weekly - goings on around the dog blog-o-sphere!

• Be sure and stop by to read what others are sharing about their seminar experiences with Silvia Trkman as she criss-crosses the country: Check out the Training Journal for Devon and Jamie - Part 1 and Part 2; and visit 4 Dog Craziness for even more! I love how we all wrote about different aspects and subjects that we learned from Silvia, but we all agreed the time we spent with her was enjoyable and valuable.
  
• If your interested in learning more about 'Listening to and watching your Dog,' head on over to the Columbia Canine Sports Center blog, interesting reading.
  
• Beep, beep, beep - Ok, ok, I admit it - Mum's been trying to teach me to back up for months now and all I do is spin - must be a sheltie thing. Gracie's got it down pat, but me...may be a while. We found a great post with vids on how to teach your pup to back up! We're gonna keep at it...
  
• Have fun watching the Elite Forces pups give nose touch after nose touch - we did!
• This one is special - one of our blogging buddies Mum has taken a sabbatical of sorts and ventured to Utah to spend a week volunteering at Best Friends - and she's blogging about it all - not to be missed.
• PetConnection posted some great doggie treat recipes the other day and invited others to leave more recipes in the comment section - we're gonna give some of them a try fur sure, especially the liver pudding, oh my DOG!
• The Dog/Cat log posted about companies that do and do not test on animals, shared from another blog - great info to be aware of and check out. But be sure and validate any info of this nature, K? Animal testing is a serious allegation and shouldn't be taken lightly.
• There are two posts I wanted to point out on my Rescue Me blog...be sure and visit Jesse, the puppy golden retriever looking for his furever home (you'll also be able to enjoy a really fun vid); and read more about MSNBC's article online about black dog discrimination!
• Last, but not least, stop by and vote for one of my new blog buttons - which one is your favorite?
  

Happy blogging!
