The Gifts We Give our Dogs

Whoever coined the phrase, It's a Dog's Life wasn't familiar with 21st century dogs. Time was when the average canine slept outside, ate whatever scraps of food were tossed his way, and if he was lucky, was thrown the occasional bone. He was even expected to earn his keep!

Customize Homemade Dog Treat Recipes

Todd Jone


Homemade dog treat recipes are a wonderful way to provide your dog with treats that are sure to be enjoyed. There are many delicious dog treats available commercially but finding homemade dog treat recipes that appeal to your dog can allow you to make a dog treat that your dog will go crazy for each time they receive it. For example, if your dog goes crazy for peanut butter you can find homemade dog treat recipes that include peanut butter and then modify the recipe to include even more peanut butter thus amplifying the taste. You can find homemade dog treat recipes from a number of sources including the Internet, books in pet stores and magazines. You may even find homemade dog treat recipes available in specialty dog food and supply stores that focus on making products with all natural ingredients available to their consumers.
You can also modify homemade dog treat recipes to suit your dog's nutritional needs. Using the example above, you could opt for low fat peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter, if your dog is overweight. This gives your dog the flavor of peanut butter that they love and also provides you with the opportunity to create a low fat version of a favorite treat. Homemade dog treat recipes are a great starting point but they can always be modified to suit your dog's tastes or nutritional needs.

Dog Walkers & Your Career

I was jogging in the park the other day and noticed a number of professional dog walkers. They had many dogs under their care and the necessary tools of their trade. Nothing remarkable about that. What struck me was a) the number of providers I saw on this one visit, b) their marketing efforts, and c) the range of services offered. Parked on the streets around the park were various types of mini-van and SUV, emblazoned with each dog walking entrepreneur's web site address, phone number, slogan, and featured services. So, what does this have to do with your career? It illustrates an important career...
