Roundup 93: Favorite Dog Articles, Deals & Videos of the Week
Dude we finally got some snow, and to say we’re thrilled is bit of an understatement. OK so Laika might be slightly more thrilled, but at least I finally figured out that my cloth boots = wet, cold feet and that a nice pair of real winter boots is a pretty wise investment. And it’s those kind of little revelations that that make me wonder why I assumed that adults were magical wizards who knew all when I was growing up. Adulting can be just as perplexing.
From how dogs are helping cancer research to a super cute doggie DIY keepsake, here’s some of my favorite dog articles of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
