German Shepherds Revealed
Ok, I am so excited. I finally finished my new book, German Shepherds Revealed. I wrote this book because I love German Shepherds and it is based on my experiences with my German Shepherds Berry and Wanda (plus all the rescue German Shepherds we’ve had in our lives). If you have a German Shepherd or are thinking of getting one, please check it out - click here.
’til next time

Dog Steps are a great way to give your dog easy access to furniture or your car or SUV. For a dog suffering from arthritis or hip dysplasia jumping on and off the bed can be pure torture. Dog steps can eliminate the repeated trauma they experience in their joints every time they jump off your sofa or out of your car. For dog owners dog ramps eliminate aching backs from lifting. You can read customer reviews of three of our favorite dog steps here. (http://www.spoilyourdog.com/dog-steps.html)

Spoil Your Dog With A Dog Party
Throwing a dog party is not as far-fetched as you might think. You might not have known it, but dogs love to party. Hey they don’t call ‘em party animals for nothing. Finally we humans have come to realize this. Doggie celebrations are increasingly popular. Since dogs are part of the family, doggie owners want to make sure that Rover’s birthday is celebrated just as any other member of the family. In some cases the family dog is the only one getting a party. But it’s not just dog birthday parties that dog owners are celebrating. Graduation from obedience school, bark mitzvahs, and puppy showers are all cause for celebration. And in perhaps in the most extravagant example of Rover’s rising social status dogs are getting hitched. That’s right. Dogs across the country can be heard barking “I do” as they take the plunge into howly muttrimony.
You might be wondering just how elaborate these canine festivities are. Dog parties range from a typical backyard gathering to get togethers at the local dog bakery or doggie daycare to elegant weddings complete with Dom Perignon. And if you don’t have the first clue about throwing a doggie bash, don’t worry. Your local dog bakery or doggie daycare is happy to help you plan your dog party.

Pamper Your Dog With a Fancy Dog Bed
Many dog owners admit their dogs share their beds at night. But where does your dog take his daytime nap?
Pet Stores are providing answers with a slew of dog beds in bolster, pillow and unbelievably fancier styles.
According to dog experts, you should choose a dog bed based on how your dog sleeps rather than your home’s decor. If your dog sleeps curled up, round pillows, lounge-styles or bolster beds are good choices. On the other hand if your dog sleeps sprawled out, a rectangular pillow, larger bolster or couch-style bed is the best dog bed to choose. Whichever dog bed is best, you’ll have several styles to choose from. And you will sleep well knowing you can choose comfort without sacrificing fashion.
The best selling dog bed style right now is the bolster bed style.
Bolster (bumper) beds are comfortable for dogs to snuggle in because they’re built like a nest. These dog beds are not only comfortable, but are also machine washable.
Some bolster dog beds have removable, washable pillow bottoms, and some are entirely washable. This is a great advantage if your dog drools or sheds.
Another best-seller is the micro-velvet donut bed that looks just like leather or suede. This dog bed looks “at home” in traditional or contemporary settings.
If you (or your dogs) prefer a pillow style dog bed in your home, you can find several options.
At Calling All Dogs, a Bejeweled Canopy Pet Bed will tell everyone that your dog is pampered. It has a microsuede cover and can be washed.
While some pillow beds lie on the floor, others come with a matching base, making them look like fancy dog day beds.
For small dogs, there are many selections of dog beds. Typically the smaller the dog the bigger the pampering.
Smaller dogs can fancy dog beds designed to look like couches, chaise lounges or tented huts. You also can choose from styles that resemble beds, canopy beds and even a mahogany sleigh bed.
Considering dogs sleep up to 15 hours a day, a nice dog bed is a good investment.
