FetchDog interesting site

Recently I was watching "The View" and one of the guests was Glenn Close, the movie star and she had her dogs with her. She was telling the hosts about a website she is associated with "Fetchdog.com". She even has a blog on the site, where she highlights people and their dogs. I checked it out and it is a really nice dog site. They state:

FetchDog began as the dream of a bunch of dog-crazy friends with a common complaint—why was there no great place online to shop for our dogs or to connect with dog experts and other dog lovers?

We wanted products that were sturdy, practical, yet beautiful to look at­, not stuff that looked like it belonged in Dad's den or the garage. We wanted thoughtfully-designed items that would complement our tastes and lifestyle. And we wanted our dogs to enjoy naturally healthy food, treats, and health care products free of chemicals and byproducts. Most of all, we wanted all these things in one convenient place so we could spend less time shopping and more time with our best friends.

Take Your Dog to Work Day

First celebrated in 1999, Take Your Dog To Work Day was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event encourages employers to experience the value of pets in their workplace for this one special day to promote pet adoptions. This years day is going to be 20 June.

Carol Vinzant has some great thoughts on this day.

The purpose is entirely different. The daughters and sons are supposed to be learning about work world opportunities. On Dog Day, or TYDTWDay, as Pet Sitters calls it in shorthand, the dogs aren't supposed to learn anything (though I do think they're curious about where we go all day.) Instead it's your co-workers who are going to have their minds blown. The idea, according to Pet Sitters, is to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters by showing them how much fun your dog is. Or, as they put it, "people without dogs will see the loving bond their co-workers have with their pets and will consider adopting orphaned pets for their own."

Sounds a little flimsy, but I still love it. Get the rest of her blog here.
