The Weekly Poop
Thought we’d introduce a new feature for Mondays that highlights a few of the previous week’s news and blog posts we found interesting and pertinent to the world of dogs. I imagine a few sentences lifted from the piece and a link to the exposition will suffice.
And why not open up the comments for any recommendations on articles or post you find intriguing (and dog relevant of course). Obviously we can’t catch them all and this might be a great way to get in touch with some blogs of which we are not familiar, news we may have missed, or photos and videos that are a must see. I’m looking forward to your additions to this week’s The Weekly Poop!
