Video: Bulldog Get New Pool

My pupster *loves* splashing around in her kiddie, err, puppy pool, but only when the hose is running. I'll have to dig up a video to share - it's a hoot!

But in the meantime, enjoy this sweet bulldog who is clearly torn between enjoying is wonderful new pool and showering thank yous on his person for giving it to him.

Prepare to Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Those of you who know me IRL know that I am a dog person. Several years ago I got a furry roommate - a cockapoo named Bailey. That led me to looking into various resources for information on life with a pup. Here are some of the magazines I've found useful and interesting (hover over link for pricing and purchase info):

• The Bark - a mix of articles and stories that explore the special bonds between dogs and humans. Features cover health, behavior, travel and recreation, as well as, art and literature - all with a unique, canine perspective.


• Dog Fancy - information on canine diet, grooming, exotic and domestic breeds, medical news and tips for showing. Show schedules, new dog products and how-to ideas are listed monthly.


• Modern Dog - a lifestyle magazine for urban dogs and their companions featuring expert advice, dog-friendly travel destinations, full fashion spreads, the latest accessories for your pooch and what's new in the doggie world.


• The New York Dog - Vanity Fair for dog-lovers featuring fashion, health, nutrition, biting humor, great writing and a lavish look.


• Fido Friendly - packed full of travel destinations that welcome Fido as well as fun and informative articles pertaining to: Diary of a Dog Chef, Fido Friendly Hotel reviews, Fido Friendly City and State reviews, Dog Trainer in Your Suitcase and much much more!

And for those of you who visit here for tech content...this was also a good reason to test drive Amazon.com's Product Preview features. And if someone decided to click on one (or more) of these and I get a little payback from Amazon, well, that's a bonus too! ;-)
