Welcome to this week’s edition of the Pet Blogger Showcase.

Par for the course, I can’t whittle this list down to just three. I. Just. Can’t. So I picked three with an honorable.

All of the entries were just so good. I started reading and pasting links in and when I finished the pawty, I looked at the post and I had five. *SIGH* You guys make it hard!

So here we go!

Acupuncture with Bruiser by Christy Caplan at My Life with Dogs – I’m a firm believer in different modalities for treatment. For myself, I prefer to treat as naturally as possible and I carry that philosophy over to my dogs as well. Both of my dogs have had acupuncture and it has helped them both. If you’ve ever considered it, or wondered if it worked…wonder no more.

Cats of Istanbul by Jenna at Meow Lifestyle – I love reading how other countries handle their stray animals, I think we can learn a lot from different programs that other countries have in place. What surprised me about this post was how Istanbul has a trap/neuter/release program for dogs, but not for cats. In fact, the cats in Istanbul were more like dogs in the way they approach humans, while the dogs were the complete opposite!

A Danger to Any Dog by Kathleen Piro at All Things Collie – Bloat is one scary disease.  Most dogs die, either from the bloat itself, because their owners weren’t aware of the signs, or from surgery.  The only dog I’ve ever heard of that survived bloat was Thunder from Two Brown Dawgs, and that’s because Linda knew the signs. It’s such a serious disease that I’ve heard of Military dogs having their stomachs tacked to prevent it. If you have a dog that is on the high risk for bloat list, I encourage you to read this post and know the signs. Heck, even if your dog isn’t a high risk, know the symptoms and signs, you never know whose dog you could help save.

Honorable Mention:

That Guilty Feeling by  Beth at Travels With Barley – Because really, what owner hasn’t done something inadvertently to their pet, and then carried the guilt after?

Hello and Happy October 1st to you! Can you believe it is already October? Where did the year go?

Thank you for joining me today for the Pet Blogger Showcase, Before I get into this post, I’d like to mention we have a new co-host this week.

Please help me to welcome Katherine from Momma Kat and Her Bear Cat.

First I should let you know we are all hanging in there. I’m working on some stuff and really hope to get back to more frequent blogging very soon. In the meantime, I want to thank all of the participants of the last Linky Pawty and share with you my favorites from there.

Par for the course, I have three and an honorable. 😉

The Groomer Man Cometh and Goeth by Five Sibes Mom at FiveSibes – I’ve followed a couple of Siberian Husky blogs and always wondered just what the hell ‘blowing coat’ meant. Well wonder no more! The Groomer Man (who cometh to their home) shows us exactly how much fur those Sibes have! Enough for another dog.  No, siriusly.

Spotlight: Greyboy Pet Prints by Beth at The Daily Dog Tag-I’m not one for decorating in my home. Honestly most people would probably call it early Pioneer (LOL) but I do so love to have photos  and paintings hanging on the walls, or set out to look at. Now imagine taking one of your favorite photos and turning into a sketch. Wouldn’t THAT be amazing?

So Much to Love by Sue at Forever In My Heart – Of course I had to choose this one. Ducky reminds me so much of my own Delilah. (And what can I say, I love a challenging dog.) Those dogs that really challenge you, are so rewarding when the hard work pays off. I can’t believe she’s been with Sue for four years already! Happy Gotcha Day Ducky!

Honorable Mention

Positive Pet Training: Nose Works by Jan at Wag ‘N Woof Pets – When you have a fearful or reactive dog, I’ve discovered that positive training is the way to go. Watching Jan work with Luke and seeing his confidence shine through, reinforces that belief for me.

Well there you have it! Join the Pawty and come back in two weeks to see who makes the Showcase next.

Thank you for joining me today for the Pet Blogger Showcase.

Today I’ll be sharing three (okay four) of MY favorite posts from the previous Pet Blogger party which took place on August 20th.

You guys are making it super tough for me to settle on only three, so once again this week, I have an honorable mention. Here in no uncertain order, I present my favorite posts from the last Showcase.

Working German Shepherd Dogs, Not Just a Pretty Face a guest post by Mila Sanchez at Animal Bliss.

I love learning about different breeds of dogs and I love reading about the ways dogs are used to help people. I’ve known that the GSD was a working dog, and I know many of the jobs they are trained for, but I’ve never really put it all together. This post did.

Leave It – Teach your dog to NOT eat stuff by Juliet Whitfield at Tails From the Road

It’s so important to teach Leave It to a dog. We taught it to Sampson when he was just a puppy, Delilah was a little harder. If you’re struggling at all in teaching this command to your dog, Juliet has it all written out in easy to follow steps. Trust me, you won’t regret teaching this command to your dog.

Positive Pet Training – Baby Steps Help Our Reactive Dog by Jan Keefe at Wag ‘N Woof Pets

Having a reactive dog myself, I’m always interested in learning how other people work with/manage their dogs. AND since I’ve been following Luke’s story before he even arrived at Casa de Wag ‘N Woof, I love hearing an update. Jan also has some great ideas for managing Luke. It’s a great read.

Honorable Mention

Adopt Me: Jasmine the Terrier/American Staffordshire Mix by Beth Patterson at The Daily Dog Tag

Because who doesn’t love it when a great dog is adopted?
