Adventure Dog Blog

This has to be the funniest dog toy I’ve ever seen. Or maybe this is! hehehe!

Considering I have a little black pug, I thought the following page of funny dog costumes was pretty hilarious!

I’ve got to get to work thinking up some good costumes for the dogs this year! If anyone would like to share photos, please send them in and I’ll post them!

In the meantime, here’s a pic of Anna’s costume last year:

In my travels across the world wide web, I came across the following amazing fact:

“A dog’s naked behind leaves absolutely no bacteria when pressed against carpet.”

Something about the phrase “dog’s naked behind” makes me giggle uncontrollably.

More fun facts!

Anna and Mr. Meaty are pretty excited to hear that there are Scout Troops for dogs! Dog Scouts of America has troops all over the U.S and a few in Canada. They are a non-profit organization “dedicated to educating the public about responsible dog ownership and the important role of the human/canine bond.”

On their website you’ll find a LOT of information about dogs, with subjects ranging from activities, sports, training, behavior issues, responsible ownership, containment, puppies, and more. There are articles on various dog sports, activities, and fun things to do with your dogs.

If you are interested, there is a map of existing troops, or you can find information on starting your own Dog Scout Troop. Find out about Dog Scout camps and register for a lot of fun!

I’ve always loved dogs, and as a child I noticed which yards had dogs and which didn’t. At the time, I didn’t think it was odd that many dog owners in our neighborhood kept their dogs tied in the backyard or had outdoor pens in which the dogs lived. Now that I’m older, I’m horrified to think someone might never allow their dog in the house.

This page offers some good facts and information about dogs and how much harm can be caused by keeping them locked out in the backyard or tied up all the time.

If you love dogs but believe they should be left outdoors, please visit the link above and read.

I was surfing the web today and found this webpage that sells an “Automatic Outdoor Pet Fountain” for dogs.

Basically it’s this device you attach to your garden hose that has a sensor so it can tell if your dog is within a certain radius. When your dog gets close enough, it automatically turns on and allows your dog to drink water.

Considering how thirsty my dogs are in the summer and how often I have to refill a bowl outdoors, this could be a pretty handy device.
