Hello from DallasDogLife!
Happy Independence Day! (almost) It's so great to have a three-day weekend with almost nothing do to. Well, except working on the yard. And organizing my office. And getting my car inspected. Hmmm...maybe my weekend will be busier than I thought! For those of you planning to spend quality time with your dogs while you celebrate on July 4, check out the News You Can Use article on how to keep your dog safe during the holiday festivities.
Have a great weekend!
Featured Review: Dirty Dawgs Self-Serve Dog Wash
www.dirtydawgz.net
Dirty Dawgz is a chain of self-serve dog washes located throughout the DFW area. People who would rather not bathe their dogs at home due to space constraints, convenience, or the messiness factor can bring their pooches to Dirty Dawgz and bathe them in a groomer-quality tub, dry them with a industrial strength blow dryer, and groom them with brushes and clippers provided by Dirty Dawgz. Read the entire review here.
