What's wrong here. "The more dogs spay/neurtered less adopted" Hello?!

@wearethecure Thanks, for bringing my attention via your Twit on  this article. It's all about the city of Montreal, Quebec (Canada) considering a mandatory spay/neuter law. Ho hum, heard this argument so many times. It's always the same, two hot topics. Over population  is caused by irresponsible owners leaving intact dogs unsupervised. Well ya. Or the flip side, rescue groups that sanction drastically early spay/neuters (l'm talking 8 weeks people! *EEK*) possibly resulting in health complications.

Pet Bloggers Challenge

So many blogs out there and not enough hours in the day to visit them all! I admit it. I am addicted to blogging. I take comfort in numbers; knowing more BlogAnonymous members are out there, tapping on their keyboard with me.

The Pet Blogger Challenge is about taking a hard cold look at why we do what we do. Bare our souls daily, share our personal photos, rant, or lend support. The answers I am sure will be diversified but probably hold one common interest. A love of communication.

Words Fail Me. Just Amazing

52 Week Dog Photo Project

I had an epiphany! OK I didn't, I stole a great idea. *shame on me* I'll start at the beginning.

First comes dog -  then comes walks - then comes Mom with the camera case! Hobby photographers, during the film camera era, consisted of a small, select talented group. With the onslaught of digital cameras, shutterbugs are popping up everywhere! 

About 4 years ago when DSLR's were becoming affordable, we got Kodee (who I might add was not so affordable). I believe the conversation at our house went like this. "Since your getting a dog, I decided I'm getting a camera to document your expense err I mean experience". Men. {Opps. Thinks to self. I wonder how many male readers just stopped following me?}

Top 5 Blog Posts I Loved Reading

Yesterday we posted our 2010 Top 10 Posts readers loved reading here at Bark'n About. Today I am joining others and listing my favourite Top 5 Posts written by other bloggers. Just 5? Whoa hard!

I decided to choose a variety of topics because it resembles my blog style. Random; a little bit of crazy fun, a little bit of promoting responsible dog ownership, a little bit of sharing interests and some breed specific musings.

1. Embee Cavaliers: Ethical Breeding
This is probably the best written article explaining the various types of dog breeders, how to find a reputable one and what health tests to ask for written verification on.
