Roundup 54: Favorite Dog Articles, Deals & Videos of the Week

Last updated on September 14, 2017 By Puppy Leaks 1 Comment

Spring is certainly here. Laika and I have been busy with lawn maintenance this week, though she doesn’t complain. Any chance to dig, get muddy & pull out weeds is fine by her.

After unsuccessfully trying to teach her to pull out dandelions, (she prefers it when I just kick them at her…) I set her up in the firepit & told her to “dig.” She happily obliged, though neither of us are very good at making circles.

Laika helping re-dig our firepit into something that somewhat resembles a circle. Geometry isn’t our strong suit.

From knowing how to check your dog’s vital signs to why kids should not sit on dogs, here’s my favorite dog articles of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
