Caitee is a Second-Time Nominee

 for this Top Award

These awards, in several service categories, will be given at a special ceremony in California in late August. All Things Dog Blog is proud of all of these dogs, but none more than two of our featured friends: Caitee (Law Enforcement Therapy with her owner, Carolyn) and Ricochet (Exemplary Companion with her owner, Judy). You can read their stories at the links. So many deserving dogs. Too bad you can't all win. Good luck!

Dog Blogging Around the Globe

by Carrie Boyko

With my recent appearance in the Technorati Top 100 Pet Sites, I have seen a surge in readers, visitors, subscribers, and surprise--lots of emails. I'm hearing from readers who are not quite sure how to comment on the blog. I'm also hearing from other blogs who would like my presence on theirs; no better compliment was ever received.


Today's post is simple, yet effective. I want to give you some of my latest links to guest postings at other sites. I'll put this information somewhere on the site for access later, as well. But for now, here goes. Let me know what you think:


At Dog Park USA:

Hello from All Things Dog Blog


Where will I pop up next? Who knows, but it's sure to be another adventure for you to follow along on. My goal is to invite you to travel the globe with me, visiting other pet sites of interest. No airline tickets or suitcases, just a keyboard and a few minutes of your time. Happy travels!

ASK THE TRAINER at All Things Dog Blog

Walmart and its top pet suppliers are asking Americans to join them in their support for the ASPCA^® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and its Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month.  

Animal lovers everywhere are encouraged to visit www.facebook.com/lendapaw  and help “Lend A Paw” to support the ASPCA’s mission to save and improve the lives of millions of animals nationwide. By clicking on the “Create a ‘Lend A Paw’ Post” button, Walmart, through the generous contribution of key pet suppliers, will donate $1 for each post (for a total donation of up to $100,000). All funds raised go to support the ASPCA, the first organization in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to the humane treatment of animals.  Can you spare a minute to help?
