After you get a dog, an unexpected event is how much the dog(s) will influence what you drive. Want that cute little two-seater Mini Cooper? Get a Bullmastiff or a Great Dane and the minivan may not seem such a bad choice after all.
Fortunately with a French Bulldog, you can get a smaller car. (Though if you are into lots of Frenchie accessories, it can fill up fast.) With Frenchies, it’s the AC you have to test carefully, as some smaller cars don’t pump out cold air very fast.
There is actually a site offering comprehensive reviews of cars based on their dog-ability and dog-suitability. Visit http://dogcars.com and see if the car you’ve been drooling for lives up to your needs, and more importantly, your dog’s needs.
With our crew, the smaller the car, the better. Especially if you can pick it up in your mouth and carry it around the kitchen. See the clip below as an example.
And if you are feeling very clickable, check the other tabs at the top of the page while you are there. You can click to give support to other worthy causes such as Literacy, the Rainforest, etc.
You’ve sat in history class and heard facts and dates about the people who lived before you. Have you ever wondered if there is a canine equivalent? There actually is! It’s called the Oregon State University (OSU) Canine Research Collection and is located in Corvallis, Oregon in the Valley Library.
It started in 2000 with the donation of a personal collection of rare and antique dog books. The collection is now expanding as more dog fanciers donate their collections of books, magazines, pedigrees, photos, correspondence, medallions, and more.
If you have items you’d like to donate, or want to learn more, visit the Oregon State University site or contact them.
Test your dog knowledge and donate kibble to shelter dogs in the process. Afraid you’ll get the answer wrong? Doesn’t matter. Wrong answers donate kibble, too! One of those few instances a wrong makes a right.
Did you find a dog wandering your neighborhood? Worried your dog is wandering in someone else’s neighborhood? Now you can put out an APB on your missing pet using Lostadog.com. Or use Foundadog.com to search for the frantic owner of the dog who wandered into your yard this morning.
Tailor your search to a specific US town or state by selecting the state, then the town from the pull down menus. If your town isn’t on the site, they will add it upon request.
A $10 fee is charged for posting a missing pet, but certainly worth the money if it helps Fido find his way home.
