Hello from DallasDogLife!
I can't believe it's already February - a huge month for dogs. February is National Pet Dental Health Month and Responsible Pet Owners Month, and February 7-14 is Have a Heart for Chained Dogs Week. February 14 is Pet Theft Awareness Day and February 23 is special for two reasons: it's Spay Day USA and International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. For those "sporting" dogs, like this Beagle, the Big Game is this Sunday. Our Cowboys may not have made it this year, but congratulations and good luck to the Saints and the Colts!
Featured Review: Dog City Training Center
There's an old saying that says, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Well, the team at Dog City Training Center will surely disagree. From Puppy Headstart classes for the new addition to your family to Master's Agility for dogs who are fine-tuning their speed and proficiency to Hollywood Dog classes for those canines who want to break into "the biz," Dog City Training Center has a class for any dog at any training level. The staff practices positive reinforcement only, so you can be sure your pup will be treated with the utmost care and respect that he or she deserves. Read the full review here.

Last week's poll results: Has your dog ever been professionally photographed?
- 51.6% said No, but I want to!
- 32.3% said Yes, and it was worth every penny.
- 12.9% said Yes, but it was pretty expensive.
- 3.2% said No, it's a waste of money.
