Social Pet Saturday: Beat the Summer Heat

Lots of fun things happened this past week including a couple of  "holidays". There was Take Your Dog to Work Day, Dog Party Day and the first official day of summer. Did you celebrate any of these days? I work from home, so Shiner helped me out with some very important treat taste testing and other fun things which we'll be talking about later on next week.

You should know the drill by now - here are my fun, interesting, and/or enjoyable posts from the week...

• I read about Planning for Your Pets In Case of Arrest at Rumpy's blog. Now, this is something I never really thought of before but is definitely something to consider. Especially if you partake in illegal activities. Now, I'll admit guys that I went to jail one time many years ago for not paying a simple traffic ticket I had forgotten about. Pretty embarrassing to admit but it happens and jail is not fun. I was supposed to go to work and walk the dogs that morning. Fortunately, I was able to call my boss and tell her and she was able to care for the dogs. 
• So now that it's summer time, you may be looking for some fun summer activities that your dog can enjoy. Paws It On shared a great list of great Pet Summer Activities.
• Speaking of summer, you've also got to be careful and watch out for all those dangers that may lurking under the sun. I am an Austin Pet Health Examiner and I wrote an article that was published last week called 10 Tips to keep your dog happy and healthy during summer. 
• Have you ever heard of Pet Flipping? It's a new scam where people claim found dogs as their own and then sell them to others. You can read all about it at A Tonk's Tail. 
• Vote for Simba! Simba from Come Wag Along is in a photo contest and he's just so cute, he really deserves to win! ;) You can vote for Simba here!

• Special thanks to the crew at All Things Collie for passing on the Versatile Blogger award to Pawsitively Pets - I appreciate it! If you don't know them, stop by and say hello. They are a bunch of gorgeous Collies!

You may have noticed that I took down my "Awards" page recently, but it's not because I don't accept or appreciate awards anymore. I am finding it hard to keep it updated! So that's why you don't see it up there anymore. 

Stay tuned this week for some exciting and fun things!
