A few weeks ago I noticed a tweet from @RecycledDoggies , a dog rescue that I follow on Twitter. The tweet was that they were establishing a Pet food bank for pet owners in need that live in the Cincinnati area.

The Second Worst Dog Product Of All Time!

March 4th, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

fail-owned-dog-ride-fail

I found this a few days ago while surfing Fail Blog and collapsed into fits of laughter! Did anyone actually buy this?! I wouldn’t want to ride on the outside of a car that is travelling on the highway at 100KM an hour. I feel bad for the poor dog that had to help make the prototypes of this invention. As for the claim of the dog riding safely in the sack? Better hope that your dog doesn’t turn it’s head while a big truck is driving by..

It’s Been A Long Week

February 27th, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been this week, the answer is “My Parent’s Business”. My Dad has a small manufacturing business that he has owned for over 35 years. With the advent of cheap overseas products, I was “laid-off” five years ago and now only work for them in the winter when they go to Florida.

The Weekend Update

February 21st, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

Wow, did I ever have a busy week! Every year, my parents go away to Florida for four months and I get to take care of their business. My Dad thought that things would be quiet this winter, but there have been a lot of orders coming in that I have had to fill. So now you all know why I haven’t been around much this week, I’ve been working for my parents. This is what they have to suffer through for four months.

My Life With A Formerly Abused Pup

February 18th, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

 Welcome to my first guest written post ever! This post is courtesy of Holly Jackson who runs the Cottage Copy blog. I was first introduced to Holly when she did a guest post on another blog and I’ve been a follower of hers ever since. If you need a professional copywriter to write  for you or to help you with marketing ideas, check her out. Book time with her now before she gets super famous and raises her prices :)

 
When I first met Didy, he looked awful. There wasn’t a cute thing about
him: I remember him standing on the lawn outside the shelter looking sick
and thin, while being aggressively standoffish. He was two years old, and
my friend who worked at the shelter told me that he had been really
difficult to handle. He couldn’t eat with all the noise, and he’d come in
with a history of abuse and wasn’t very friendly. I’m not sure, even now,
what possessed me to adopt him. I had a dog, a big friendly outgoing
puppy, and I didn’t really need another one. But something about him stood
out; in retrospect, maybe it was the fact that he had survived all that
and was still in one piece. He commanded respect, I suppose. That was the
day that Didy’s and my training really began.

Guess Who’s In Bark Magazine?

February 18th, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

ME! I was just *so* excited when I recieved my copy in the mail today that I had to tell everyone. Bark Magazine liked my martingale collar tutorial so much that they decided to make me the DYI columnist for 2010!! I must admit that it is rather strange to see my name in print, but I think that I’ll get used to it :) Since the tutorial isn’t available online yet, I scanned the magazine pages.

The Humane Society Gets The Gas Face

February 17th, 2010 by Karen Friesecke

gas_face

If you’re not familiar with what the “gas face” is, I will explain. The term was popularizedby a song from the old school  hip hop group Third Bass. If you want to hear the song, Google gas face, It’ll come up no problem.  The word gas face can also be interchanged with the terms screw face, stink eye or shit face, either way, it all means the same thing.  I went to Urban Dictionary.com and these are the definitions that came up;
