EWPF – Weight Pulling Dogs

Time to get excited about seeing all kinds of cute little dogs. On Monday and Tuesday, more than 2000 dogs will compete for a trophy at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. This is a must see for all dog lovers, as they dogs are just irresistibly adorable to watch. Just seeing them is cute, but watching them compete for a prize makes it even better. I also like to see the owners get so competitive. I can’t wait to watch the show. And to me, all of the dogs are winners. They all have such talent, and I give their owners credit for doing such a great job.

With the holidays behind us, it’s a relief that we have the whole year until we need start holiday shopping once again. Although this is true, I like to use the beginning of the year to at least narrow down what I will be getting my family and friends for their birthdays. Many of my families birthdays are in the beginning of the year, so it’s especially important to think about their gifts sooner than later. I would like to think of myself as a decent gift giver. I think very carefully before I actually buy a gift. I’m not just going to buy a gift card to a store that they might like, just because it’s easy. I like my gift receivers to really think that I know that well enough to get a gift just right for them. So far I have gifts picked out for the people who have birthdays in Febrary (2 of them) and in April.

My mom is the hardest person to get a gift for, out of everyone else. She really loves to cook , so I used to get her cookbooks, but how much can someone really cook? I then thought about what her other hobbies are, and I remembered she’s recently started to garden more. She has a lot of flowers that are just planted in the ground, and are just boring. I searched online and found a maycreek 24″ copper planter, which is sure to waken up her (start up)garden.

Then there’s my cousin who recently got a new house. She’s always looking for ways for it to look more  bright and welcoming, and I’m sure my gift to her will help. I’m going to give her a mohawk architect rug. With the vibrant colors, she will no longer be complaining about her dark and dingy living room.

Lastly, there’s my uncle who is a huge dog lover. He truly lives for his dogs, and he especially loved his first one;a Golden Retriever who passed away a long time ago, but he just can’t seem to stop thinking of her. He’s often comparing the dogs he has to the Golden. Once again I went online for a gift, and searched silver ornament dog loss, and I found the perfect one. He can now remember his treasured pet every time he looks at his Christmas tree. Since his birthday is a while away from December, I’m going to suggest he can even use the ornament for any household tree he has as well.

I can’t wait to see all three of their reactions!

It can be great to have a pet, especially a dog. They are always there for you, and they never talk back at you. And the of course the fact that they are so cute, and you can even dress them up to look even cuter. The truth is that all of these factors contribute to the positive side of having a dog. What many people don’t realize is how time consuming it really is to have a dog. Maybe they are at work the majority of the day, and they just don’t have the time to take the dog for walks and play with it. Then there is the financial side of having a dog. From taking it to the vet to buying food,the bucks can surly add up. The important thing to remember is that it is nice to have that snuggly dog who you can spend time with, but you need to decide if right now is really the right time to get one.

It seems like no matter where you go now, more and more dog owners are choosing to dress their dogs. I personally think this not only makes them look cute, but it also gives them their own look. Lets be honest: all dogs of the same breed pretty much look the same. Shouldn’t your dog be able to have their own look by having their own style? Wintertime is when dressed up dogs are most popular. Owners throw on a sweater on them to keep them warm, and the styles are endless. The rest of the months are no exclusion when it comes to pooches having fashion sense. I’ve seen dogs with tank tops, skirts, and even flip flops!
