Roundup 51: Favorite Dog Articles, Deals & Videos of the Week
Earlier this week I tried recreating Laika’s first photo. Almost 5 years later and she was much less willing to sit patiently and just “look at me”, go figure.
I think I’ll try again later this week, and this time I’ll be armed with carrots.
From the perfect open letter to send to your friend whose looking to get a dog to thinking outside the NILF (nothing in life is free) box, here’s my favorite dog articles of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

That’s not the noise I was expecting.
I love that No Stimulus Unconditioned post! It’s an old favorite of mine. I read it shortly before I adopted Nala, and she quickly developed the habit of checking in whenever she noticed a person or other dog. I only wish I had thought to apply it to cars, since those actually worry her.
