Does your dog dream of stardom?? If so, head on over to Bruce Pit park TOMORROW AT NOON (that’s Tuesday March 2nd, at 12pm) to meet The Frugalista.

I’ll be asking owners to give [my] frugal homemade dog treats to their pets and record their reaction [on camera].

It’s short notice, but hopefully some lucky dogs can make it!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Some students at Carleton University are doing a study and they need our help! They have created a survey with the purpose to gather information on pet owners and their use of veterinarian services in the Ottawa area. The survey does not ask for any personal information of the users, just about your dogs.

Take the survey here.

Thanks!

Chantal from the Ottawa K9 School just welcomed a beautiful baby boy into her family. She wrote a great article on what works and what doesn’t work when introducing your dogs to your new baby.

An excerpt:

I held a fake baby in my arms (I used a large teddy and put diapers on it). I spoke to, sang to, soothed, cooed at.. baby while ignoring the dogs. The point here was to get them used to seeing me pay attention to a little one while ignoring them. I did this for about a week, my husband never got around to it, and then we dropped it altogether. Honestly, I felt this was a waste of time. The dogs knew that the “baby” was not real. With their super duper sense of smell, I can’t imagine that a teddy bear with a clean diaper has anything in common with a live baby in a dirty one… The only thing they noticed was that I had a new past time, and they weren’t bothered by it much. “Whatever floats your boat, oh silly Human“, said they.

It’s Christmas Eve day! What better time than this for some dogs decorating the tree?
