Small Dog Meetup Photos

Some small dogs in Calgary met up for a fun play date at Pawsitively Pooched this afternoon.

This meetup was organized via The Calgary Small & Toy Breed Play Group.  This indoor play group is a great way to socialize your dog during the cold winter!

O Canada!

Happy Canada Day!

Please resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.  Most pets do not like fireworks, nor the noisy crowd.  It could be very stressful.  Stay at home and share some quality time with your family.  :-)

We loved Pet Fashion Week when we attended in New York and are excited we'll be able to watch the runway show live from São Paulo tonight! Here's a re-post of their press release:

Pet Fashion Week NY will begin broadcasting highlights of its Sao Paulo event on Saturday evening, April 24^th, 2010, starting at 6:30 PM (New York time), followed by a live broadcast of its runway event at 7 PM.

The broadcast can be viewed at petfashionweeksp.com and is guaranteed to be the most spectacular runway event to date. The show is being co-hosted by Aktuell Communications, South America's top production company, and will feature appearances by Harrison Forbes, as well as some of Brazil's favorite celebrities. This event is the first of its kind in South America and proceeds from the runway event will benefit the training of guide dogs in Brazil.

National High Five Day - How to Train Your Dog to High-Five

It's National High Five Day today (the third Thursday of April each year). Harry does high-fives. I have yet taught Stella to do that. Does your dog do high-five? High-five is a fun trick.

Here's a training video:
