Doggy Love Is In the Air

Hello everyone, Nichole here... with my first official DOT post. Hopefully I won't bore you too much... my post is going to be mostly about various things in the news.

Earlier this week DOT received an Gracie's Golden Blogger award from (Not So) Cynical Knitting Girl! Thank You!

For all the doggy mama knitters out there, please hop on over to my blog and check out my latest review, Pet Projects: The Animal Knits Bible. I truly love this book and think you will too - and bonus, its not just about dogs, so you can find something for all your animal friends!

Saturday is Valentine's Day... don't forget your pooches!


Before popping open the champagne and indulging in the chocolates this weekend, please take a moment to visit ASPCA's Guide to a Pet-Friendly Valentine's Day. We all know that chocolate is not good for our dogs, but this guide also includes flowers, cocktails, xylitol, gift wrap and more.

If you follow my blog, you'll know that I personally love and support Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and have been following the Victory Dogs very closely. I'm happy to report that the first of these beautiful dogs has found has found her new forever home! Check out the full story here - and even better, watch the video!

Dog treats continue to show up on the ever growing list of items in peanut butter recall. Please check here to see if anything you have is on the list.

The 2009 Westminster Kennel Club Best In Show Trophy was awarded to "Ch Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee," a.k.a. "Stump,"a Sussex Spaniel. If you didn't catch the live broadcast earlier this week, you can watch the video here.
