Hello from DallasDogLife!
Happy Friday! Another scorching hot weekend is ahead of us, and experts are advising us to stay indoors if we can. If you must be outdoors for even a half-hour, be sure to drink plenty of water and stay in the shade as much as possible. Exercise your dogs indoors by playing fetch or working on their obedience skills. Please don't let your dogs end up like this poor Chow, who died of heat stress after only being outside for 30 minutes. Be smart! Be safe! And enjoy your weekend...
Featured Review: Training Spot
http://tinyurl.com/tracimurdock
Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Marley & Me. Legally Blond. I am Legend. Must Love Dogs. All these movies have canine actors who stole the show (and usually our hearts) as they sat, ran, played, and even misbehaved on cue. Have you ever thought, Hey, my dog is cute and smart. I bet he could be in movies or commercials. Then meet Traci Murdock, Training Spot's owner as well as Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT), Photographer, Talent Scout and Wrangler, and much more. Traci uses all these talents to teach dog owners the skills their dogs need to break into show business. Read the entire review here.
