it's a road trip with a box of food and beds following every mile of the way.
We are a family of dogs traveling across the country with our mom and dad (cause dad has to drive and mom has to feed us). We'll be taking pics and videos of cool stuff we see and do.

Is it too cold to venture out to forage for food? Do you have more fun things to do than spend time driving to and from the store for food - like chasing squirrels, diggin' holes, snugglin' in your bed?</span><br />

We have had a BLAST reading all the FLAKY PEEP POSTS this week. We're kinda sorry it's over! Hmmm, maybe SOMEONE wants to make it a regular features! Sarge? Frankie? anyone, anyone (apologies to Ferris Bueller). Stay tuned as the winners are revealed next week!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though our Mom is a total FLAKE, we couldn't seem to come up with anything AMUSING to share that she would actually LET us share. But she did something this VERY MORNING that just illustrates what an incredible FLAKE she is so we're gonna share it NOW. Even if it means NO TREATS for a WHOLE DAY! haha</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">So, here's what went down first thing this morning. Mom has decided to trade coffee for hot chocolate during the cold winter months. Yeah, we know, it's more fattening but doesn't make her as jittery, which is good for ALL of us! BOL! Anyway, she uses the kind in the little packets that you just add to HOT WATER. Sometimes she boils the water on the stove. Sometimes she just pops the cup of water in the microwave. It's really better if she microwaves it 'cause she tends to forget about the boiling water on the stove if she walks away and doesn't set a timer. ANYWAY, she put the cup in the microwave for like a minute and a half. *DING* She opens the microwave and gets out the cup and guess WHAT! There's NO WATER in it! Really! She FORGOT to put WATER in the cup! bwahahahahahaha Now THAT'S FLAKY!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While you're shaking your head over that FLAKINESS, we've got a miscellaneous piece of info to share. We just read this post on FB this morning and thought it might help somepup somewhere sometime who suffers from seizures. We need to say first, though, that we KNOW there are probably as many reasons/causes for seizures as there are dogs that have them. Everypup is very different and sometimes it's hard to pin down a cause and it depends on tons of different things. Having said that, we still think this post is worth reading in case it helps someone along the way. It's on our Pit Bull Frogs FB page BUT we're pretty sure you don't have to have a FB account or sign up in any way to look at this link - </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pit-Bull-Frogs/311919152164343?ref=tn_tnmn"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pit-Bull-Frogs/311919152164343?ref=tn_tnmn</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. If you can't access the link, but are interested in reading the post, let us know and we'll send it to you in an email. Basically, it was determined that the cause of a little rescue pup's seizures were the Kibbles 'n Bits he was being fed at his new furever home. His food was changed and he's all better now.</span><br />

We can't get enough of 'em! Even though we're not entering the contest since we're co-hosting with <a href="http://www.sargespeaksout.com/">SARGE</a> and <a href="http://www.frankiefurterprice.com/">FRANKIE</a>, we're gonna share a couple of flaky peep moments with you. Now these aren't nearly as funny as any of yours, but we're pretty sure we'd have to go without dinner and treats for a couple of days if we told the really good stuff. But we still think this is some slightly flaky behavior --</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When Mom has trouble sleeping, she puts one of her favorite movies in the DVD player and snuggles on the sofa. Usually in about 10 minutes, she's asleep and dreaming about chasing rabbits and . . . oh, wait, that's what WE dream about. What the heck do peeps dream about??? Oh, well, nevermind. Anyway, she sleeps through the WHOLE rest of the movie and then WAKES up when it's over. So NOW, she's awake again and has to restart the movie to fall asleep AGAIN. This goes on pretty much all night until the wee hours of the morning. Then about 3:00 or 4:00, she gets in the bed and sleeps some more. We just can't understand this routine and we gotta say it kinda interrupts our OWN sleep. NOT to mention that the sofa is supposed to be all OURS when the peeps go to bed, right? But does she care about that?! Noooooo . . . So, we're just wondering ~ Does anybody else's peeps have weird sleeping habits or is it just ours???</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of notes: We're having some super slow-as-molasses innernuts AND some issues with STICKY KEYS. Sometimes we start typing a comment on your blogs and all of a sudden it looks like this ~</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">ha's oo unny! Be you on' ha aain.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, if we happen to type "Your pees are so funny!" - we really mean "Your PEEPS are so funny!" It's happened a few times and we think we caught it every time, but in case we didn't, please accept our humble apologies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, we're really concerned about our furiend Pip! Please send him the Power of the Paw so he gets better. Love you PIP!</span><br />

Just to be perfectly CLEAR, our peeps DO NOT engage in this FLAKY behavior! And to be quite honest, we were a tad chagrined to learn that SOME peeps do. We know NONE of YOUR peeps do this either, so we hope you won't be too disappointed and disillusioned to learn of this FLAKY, and let's just say, slightly DECEPTIVE behavior. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We're going to go out on a limb and assume this guy means "blogs" as well as "Facebook." But, regardless of the forum, can you BELIEVE there are SOME peeps who engage in this FLAKY behavior???!!! Doesn't that just take the cake??? Mmmmm, cake. Mmmm, cake with BACON . . . </span><br />

It goes without saying that OUR PEEPS are TOTAL FLAKES, especially MOM (um, sorry Mom, but it's a fact!). BUT we can't wait to read about YOUR PEEPS! We're hoping they're at LEAST as FLAKY as OURS! BOL!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The fun starts tomorrow and lasts ALL WEEK! We know you're as excited as we are to SHARE with ALL OF BLOGVILLE just how FLAKY your PEEPS are! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And, now, one more SNOWMAN just for FRANKIE! Foster dog Lucy REDESIGNED a snowman that was sitting by the TV just minding his own business when all of a sudden . . . CHOMP!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The whole time Lucy was chomping away on the SNOWMAN, we heard her mumbling - "This is for Frankie, take that Mr. Snowman, bwahahahahahahaha . . . </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Do you recognize her??? This is Phantom (we call her Lucy). We featured her as one of the adoptable dogs during <a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Mayzie's Rescue Me Home Week</span></a>! She has been hanging out at our vet's office while being treated for heartworms. She's all well now and boy, is she raring to go!!! She LOVES to play and gets along great with everybody. Cooper has even taught her to swim! Now, don't go getting any ideas - we're just giving her a reprieve from kennel at the vet's office until she finds her FUREVER home. Everyone that meets her falls in love - she has a wonderful temperament and personality. So, if you know someone who would love to give this cutie pie a home and family, let us know. She loves to SNUGGLE, too!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's obvious BERT'S Prize Package was a HOOOOOOGE hit at our house! You know, we don't think our own pawrents have ever gotten us that many cool toys! We can't thank <a href="http://fourleggedviews.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">BERT</span></a> (and VICKIE) enough for this amazingly awesome prize package! You guys are way too generous!!! THANK YOU BERT!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We're gonna have to apologize yet again for our lack of visiting Blogville. We are missing efurryone so much! But Mom desperately needs our help with her projects and we're going as fast as our paws can! Besides the <a href="http://www.pitbullfrogs.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Pit Bull Frogs Calendar</span></a> (ON SALE NOW!), Mom is hammering and sawing away in her studio like one of Santa's little elves making Christmas pressies that peeps have ordered from her jewelry shop. So we can't let her get behind with that! We don't want anybody's stocking to be empty this year, right?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But, stay tuned in the next day or two for a super special SNEAK PREVIEW of a page from the <a href="http://www.pitbullfrogs.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Pit Bull Frogs Calendar</span></a> featuring some of our Blogville furiends that you know and love! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gotta go pour some caffeine in Mom so she can get to work and hope she remembers to give us breakfast!!!</span><br />

So, when they asked Mom if she would be interested in donating a piece of her work for their </span><a href="http://stubbydog.org/2011/11/stubby-dog-art-auction-fundraiser/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Art Auction</strong></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, she jumped at the chance. After all, Stubby Dog had Mayzie's Paw of Approval. Did you know that Mayzie was one of the first Stubby Dogs?! So, we're pretty excited to tell you about this amazing auction featuring DOG ART! You know, the gift giving season is just around the corner (YIKES!) and Stubby Dog has lots of gift options for your dog-loving furiends. If you've been looking for an artist to paint the perfect portrait of you, or one of your furiends, check out this auction. Many artists have donated custom pet portraits and photography sessions.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Acrylic Pet Portrait by </span><a href="http://www.ashleyreid.net/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Ashley Reid</span></a><br />

Just sayin'. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The bidding has started and continues through <strong>December 5</strong>. So you still have plenty of time to fetch a great deal!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And speaking of Pitties, we'll be taking a little blogging break so we can help Mom finish up the Pit Bull Frogs calendar soon-to-be-published. You know, she just can't do two things at once :) We'll be giving Sarge the "Bird" but will probably be kinda scarce from the blogging scene for a week or so. We'll try to catch up on all the fun as soon as we can! And if we don't get by before Thanksgiving - we wish you all a very HAPPY one!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cheers!</span><br />

There were so many cool and super creative entries in both ARTSY FARTSY DUCK TAPE and DUCK TAPE IN ACTION. We knew we would NEVER be able to pick the best because they were ALL the BEST! So we left it to chance or fate or . . . ASPEN! Yep, we decided to let Aspen combine her FAVORITE things - SWIMMING and TENNIS BALLS - to pick a WINNER for the ARTsy FARTsy division. We took <a href="http://frankiefurterprice.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">FRANKIE'S</span></a> idea and tweaked it a little bit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First, we wrote numbers on SEVEN tennis balls - one for each entry in order of appearance. (Please, um, excuse the appearance of some of these tennis balls - we're kinda ROUGH on tennis balls!)</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">MAYZIE'S RESCUE ME HOME WEEK</span></a> is technically over, but we wanted to do a recap of the adorable adoptables that we posted this week ~ just in case their furever family might not have seen them during all the DUCK TAPE FESTIVITIES. Plus, we want to thank Mayzie for this super terrific event that highlighted so many animals that need furever homes. We know her Grandpa J would be so happy and proud of her! And we're SO EXCITED for STELLA who was featured EVERY DAY last week over at Roo's. <a href="http://www.roosdoins.com/"><span style="color: blue;">ROO'S</span></a> genius plan and dedication worked and Stella got adopted Thursday! How cool is THAT?! We sure hope more animals find their furever homes real soon!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So here's the rundown of the pups we featured ~ could you be their new furever home?</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is Toby. He is being fostered through </span><a href="http://www.saveadog.org/available_dogs.asp"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Save
A Dog</span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. He's a rat terrier/Jack Russell mix (approx. 1 yr old). </span><input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_xclick" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="business" type="hidden" value="saveadog@saveadog.org" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="item_name" type="hidden" value="Dogs Who Need Sponsors - Toby" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="return" type="hidden" value="http://www.saveadog.org/donation-thankyou.asp" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="no_note" type="hidden" value="1" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="cancel_return" type="hidden" value="http://www.saveadog.org" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><input name="notify_url" type="hidden" value="https://www.saveadog.org/ipn_sponsordog.asp?DogID=2398" /><span style="font-size: large;"> Loves kids (ages 10+ would be best). Not keen on cats. Toby's foster mom says: He is smart, playful and very affectionate. He is great
in his crate, on a leash and doesn’t bark in the house. He settles down
beautifully and loves bully sticks, peanut butter kongs and his daily walks in
the woods. I think he would really like to play with another small dog. He loves
to chase toys in the back yard and will try to run with stuffed animals almost
as big as he is, very amusing. When he gets excited he puts his ears back and
crouches down and then springs up and runs in circles. He really wants to bond
with his people.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>FRIDAY - PHANTOM</em></strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Phantom is hanging out (for now) right down the
street from us at our wonderful vet's, Dr. Ruth (</span><a href="http://sundogcatmoon.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sun Dog Cat
Moon</span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">). She's an English Setter approx. 2 years old and has been spayed. Phantom had heartworms and our super fantastic vet has treated her and she's going on one month clear of the nasty heartworms! </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>*UPDATE*</strong> from Friday's post: Mom and Dad spent some quality time with Phantom on Friday. They took her for a long walk where she got to sniff everything. Then they took her shopping at Lowe's. Plus, she got to go with them to their favorite outdoor restaurant! Phantom has wonderful manners, walks well on a leash, knows sit and seemed to pick up "COME" really fast. She's a smart girl who loves affection but is not "in your face" all the time. She's also curious about her surroundings and pays attention to everything. She rode in the car nicely while buckled into her harness and just laid down on the seat and snoozed after her busy day. We don't even understand why she was given up, except that maybe she didn't hunt. But, nevermind hunting, Phantom would make a wonderful companion on long walks or hikes - leashed, of course. After all, she is bred to hunt :) And she would be just as happy to curl up next to you after that long walk. Phantom would do better in a home without cats. She hasn't really been tested around other dogs or kids yet. She seemed totally okay with other dogs she saw at the vet. She didn't bark once while she was with Mom & Dad for several hours. She greeted people very sweetly and everyone that saw her loved her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We hope you ALL find your furever homes real soon! Good luck!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've got TONS of pine cones around here - Kayla likes to use them to clean her teeth. Wonder if we could get Wyatt and Stanzie to create some cool DUCK TAPE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS, too?! Whattaya say, guys? How about it?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to Wyatt and Stanzie for sharing these super adorable and creative turkeys with us. Hope we get to see pics of your Thanksgiving table with these little guys on it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And now, for our GRAND FINALE ~ our final entry comes from none other than HIZ HONOR <a href="http://www.frankiefurterprice.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>MAYOR FRANKIE FURTER</strong></span></a>! You're not going to believe what Frankie created from DUCK TAPE - his arch nemesis - a SNOWMAN! BOL!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We're not sure what DUCK TAPE FRANKIE has in mind for this SNOWMAN, but we're betting it's not gonna be good for the SNOWMAN! Or . . . could it be that Frankie's decided to become furiends with the snowman? Maybe having a new Ernie puppy around has mellowed Frankie's feelings about SNOWMEN?! Is this a story in the making??? Guess we'll just have to stay tuned to Frankie's blog to see where this new furiendship is headed . . . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks Mayor Frankie for taking time out of your puppy-raising (not to mention MAYORAL) duties to share your DUCK TAPE CREATION with us. AND for co-hosting this fabulous BLOGVILLE DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL. We sure had fun seeing all the DUCK TAPE CREATIONS! They really surpassed anything we imagined and we hope they have inspired your own DUCK TAPE ideas! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, we did promise PRIZES and PRIZES there will be. All the entries are so wonderful, we could never choose a "BEST" so we're gonna choose the easy way - we (The Road Dogs and Mayor Frankie), will each randomly choose (without peeking!), one winner from EACH CATEGORY - one for ARTSY FARTSY CREATION and one for DUCK TAPE IN ACTION. We will each post the winners on our blogs on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14! So stay tuned . . . and hang on . . . </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today is also the last "official" day for <a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>MAYZIE'S</strong></span></a> RESCUE ME HOME WEEK. But, with all the amazing participation this week, we have a feeling the spirit of RESCUE ME HOME WEEK will continue and we'll be seeing more adorable adoptables popping up all over Blogville! Thank you Mayzie for encouraging efurryone to get involved and help pups find their furever homes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our adorable adoptable today is living right down the street from us at our wonderful vet's, Dr. Ruth (<a href="http://sundogcatmoon.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>Sun Dog Cat Moon</strong></span></a>). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Phantom taking over Dr. Ruth's chair!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Her name is Phantom and she's an English Setter. She's about 3-4 years old and has been spayed. Phantom had heartworms and our super fantastic vet has treated her and she's going on one month clear of the nasty heartworms! Mom has met Phantom in the fur and says she is a sweetie! In fact, Mom & Dad are going to get up close and fursonal with her today and take her for a walk and maybe some zoomies since she's been kinda cooped up and not able to get the proper exercise 'cause of the heartwork treatment. But she's good to go now and ready for her furever home that will give her plenty of love and exercise! If you've got a soft spot for high-energy Setters and want to know more about Phantom, just email us and we'll put you in touch with Dr. Ruth and the Setter <span style="color: black;">rescue </span>that's sponsoring sweet Phantom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Today's ARTSY FARTSY DUCK TAPE CREATION is from the paws of <a href="http://www.sugarthegoldenretriever.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Sugar</span></a>. You are definitely going to want to make one of these for yourself 'cause - as Sugar says "it's very simple and it will be a great use as an emergency collar . . . to put in our car." And guess what??? You CAN make one! Sugar has posted a tutorial for this super DUCK TAPE COLLAR on her <a href="http://www.sugarthegoldenretriever.com/"><span style="color: blue;">blog</span></a>! We especially love the ARTSY hand-stamped paws all around the collar. You could probably stamp your NAME and PHONE NUMBER on it, too, or any design you want!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Doesn't Sugar look bee-yoo-ti-ful in her DUCK TAPE COLLAR?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks, Sugar, for sharing your super design with us and for showing us how to make one of our own! Wow, we could make one in EVERY COLOR! Think we're gonna need more DUCK TAPE! Be sure to stop by <a href="http://www.frankiefurterprice.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Frankie's</span></a> place to see today's DUCK TAPE IN ACTION entries!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">And, now, for our ADOPTABLE DOG OF THE DAY for <a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Mayzie's RESCUE ME HOME EVENT</span></a> ~</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://www.nlol.org/images/Available%20Animals/cooper%202.jpg" /> </div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This totally handsome dude is COOPER and he's adoptable through </span><a href="http://www.nlol.org/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">New Leash on Life</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> in Chicago - which is Miss M's (Two Pitties in the City) alma mater! You can probably guess which one of us picked Cooper for today's adorable adoptable - um, yeah, COOPER! This cute guy in the picture and OUR Cooper sure have lots in common. The first couple of sentences of his description would have described our Cooper when Mom found him wandering the the Piggly Wiggly parking lot - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>He's about 1 year old, 35 pounds (but
needs to gain about 5-10 pounds). We're not quite sure what breed mix he is - he
has characteristics of many!</strong> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's more about Cooper from his <a href="http://www.nlol.org/chicago/dogs.asp?dogid=1041"><span style="color: blue;">NLOL</span></a> page - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We met
Cooper on a recent trip to Animal Care and Control; he was an owner give-up and
we found him cowering in the corner of his crate with his tail tucked, scared
out of his mind. But he made great eye contact with our intake directors and
pleaded with those big brown eyes to give him a chance, and are we glad we did!
He warmed up quickly and within a matter of minutes his tail was wagging, he was
chasing balls, and enjoying the TLC his new friends were giving him.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We don't think he's had any formal training, but he still walks amazingly
well on a leash - he doesn't pull at all! He is young and energetic, so would
greatly benefit from formal training to help improve his leash skills even more
and teach him all of the basic commands. He is a quick study and is food
motivated, so we know he'll excel in class. He learned "sit" during an adoption
event and we're continuing to teach him new tricks. Cooper would be great for an
active family without young kids who he could accidentally knock over. He is
good with other dogs, and loves snuggling into a friend's lap. We'll continue to
update his profile as we learn more about him, but in the meantime check out
NLOL's </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/nlolchicago"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">facebook page</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for
more pictures or contact us to meet sweet Cooper today! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We sure hope Cooper gets a great home and someone that loves to throw tennis balls for him! Could that be you???</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Are those COOL or WHAT?! Don't they inspire you to break out the duck tape and scissors and make a DUCK TAPE SCULPTURE of yourself??? We can't even imagine how they made these without getting DUCK TAPE all stuck to their furs! Wonder if they take commissions?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fozzie and Sandy are being well-trained and getting lots of socializing by their awesome foster mom (and Lamar :) so they will make wonderful companions for a couple of lucky families. Could that be you??? If you, or someone you know, lives in the DC area (or VA, MD) and would be interested in learning more about Fozzie or Sandy, go to <a href="http://peacefuldog.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Peaceful Dog Blog</span></a> to learn LOTS more about them and see more adorable pics of them. And just maybe give them a furever home!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome back to the Blogville DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL! Plus, don't forget to check out adorable adoptable TOBY- our entry today for Mayzie's Rescue Me Home Week - AFTER today's ARTSY FARTSY DUCK TAPE Entry!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We think this is one awesome way to stake out your territory! This way-cool entry was submitted by <a href="http://thedailyoskar.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">OSKAR</span></a> and was created by his boy - JOHN! The first layer is all grey duct tape, topped with the black duct tape, and then totally covered over in clear duct tape. His own personal masterpiece. And we're betting it's probably INDESTRUCTIBLE! BOL! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oskar tells us that his boy, John, also created a t-shirt out of silver duck tape when he was in high school. He wore it to school and had all his friends sign it with Sharpies. Sorry, no pics of that one. But, it sounds better than a year book to us! And probably lasts longer, too! We think Oskar's boy, John, might find himself being offered a JOB by DUCK TAPE with these awesome creative skills!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks Oskar (and John) for submitting this super creative ARTSY FARTSY entry to the DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We'll keep it rolling tomorrow with ANOTHER DUCK TAPE ENTRY! Stay tuned . . . But don't leave yet . . .</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Toby is a small ADORABLE male short-haired terrier who has a HUGE heart. This
dog has a soul, you can just see it in his eyes, in his whole expression.
Whoever adopts him is going to be so lucky. We wouldn't be surprised if a book
was written about him some day. This is one amazing dog who is going to blossom
in your home. Like many of our rescues, he was a stray, nobody's dog, unwanted.
Hard to believe. But now he is loved and adored by all the volunteers at Save A
Dog. Toby is sweet, affectionate and playful. When He greets his people he will
try to jump into your arms for hug and kisses. He loves kids and we recommend 10
and up for him. He is afraid of cats, so no cats, please. He can be timid with
some men. He is recovering from an infection in his larynx, probably caused by
the intubation during his neuter surgery. He is doing great and is not acting
sick other than an occasional cough. When he was rescued he was wandering around
a neighborhood in rural TN and people were threatening to shoot him, can you
imagine!! Toby's
foster mom says: He is smart, playful and very affectionate. He is great in his
crate, on a leash and doesn’t bark in the house. He settles down beautifully and
loves bully sticks, peanut butter kongs and his daily walks in the woods. I
think he would really like to play with another small dog. He loves to chase toys in the back yard and will try to run with
stuffed animals almost as big as he is, very amusing. When he gets excited he
puts his ears back and crouches down and then springs up and runs in circles. He
really wants to bond with his people. He is in a foster home so we require an application first so we can arrange for
him to be brought to the shelter for the meeting. Go to <a href="http://www.saveadog.org/available_dogs.asp"><span style="color: blue;">Save A Dog</span></a> to find out more about adopting Toby and to see more adoptable pups.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We're also participating in <a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>Mayzie's Rescue Me Home</strong></span></a> event in honor of her Grandpa J. The first adoptable dog we would like to present is adorable little Katie! She is a chocolate brown and tan dachshund mix, 6 years old, and a tiny 10 lbs. She is housetrained and crate trained and would be the apple of your eye. After spending her life outdoors (can you believe it?) her "person" dumped her at the shelter. She's living with her foster pawrents in Georgia now, but would love her very own furever home and is more than willing to cross state lines for that perfect furever family. Could it be you??? Go <a href="http://www.fureverdachshundrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=3500377#animalOtherPictures"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a> to read lots more about Katie and see more adorable pics at <a href="http://www.fureverdachshundrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=3500377#animalOtherPictures"><span style="color: blue;">Katie's Forever Dachshund Rescue</span></a> page!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Katie's most excited to have her own bed after spending her life outdoors! She's good with other dogs (male and female), but hasn't been tested with kids or cats. Don't you want to know MORE about little Katie? </span></div>

We have pups standing by ready to receive those cool duck tape photos that you're too embarrassed to send in! Come on - we wanna see 'em! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To get you in the mood, we're going to share a personal favorite with you today! This creation was at one of our favorite music venues in our town - it's our favorite 'cause DOGS can hang out on the deck where they play music most every night! Apparently, they was a door handle malfunction this past year and some DUCK TAPE genius came up with this creative solution. We think this might qualify for DUCK TAPE IN ACTION as well as ARTSY FARTSY DUCK TAPE. What do you think?</span><br />

Some dogs don't like loud, startling noises like thunder and fireworks. Some dogs just don't like being alone, especially a new puppy. Sometimes change of some sort can make us a bit uneasy. There are lots of awesome products out there to help us, too. Some of you have found the perfect remedy - maybe it's a thunder shirt or treat that has calming herbs. But, if you've tried everything and haven't found your perfect solution, you might consider trying - <em><strong>music</strong>! </em>We sniffed out this cool website and thought we some of you might be interested - </span><a href="http://www.throughadogsear.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Through a Dog's Ear.</strong></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, co-founded by Lisa Spector, who is also a concert pianist, a Juilliard Graduate, and a Canine Music Expert.</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is so much info, we're not sure where to start, but basically Through a Dog's Ear offers musical compositions designed to calm us dogs under a variety of stressful situations, <strong><span style="color: magenta;">including riding in a car</span></strong>. <em><strong><a href="http://throughadogsear.com/music-to-enjoy/"><span style="color: blue;">The Music to Calm Your Canine Companion</span></a></strong></em> series helps by calming your nervous system. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now, we haven't used these CDs yet because, actually, we're not a really anxious bunch here, but we love music in our house and we know that we all get pretty relaxed when Dad plays his guitar for us. We also love to use natural solutions when we can, so we think these CDs might be just the thing if you're still looking for a calming remedy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Best of all, you can listen to lots of samples of the music before you purchase. The CDs are available as downloads, too. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As an extra treat, you can get a free download on <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://throughadogsear.com/the-creation-of-the-canine-noise-phobia-series/"><strong><span style="color: blue;">THIS PAGE</span></strong></a> <span style="color: black;">(scroll to the bottom for details).</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is also a program for <a href="http://throughadogsear.com/shelter-program/"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>rescue shelters and organizations</strong></span></a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Has anyone out there used these or heard any feedback?</span><br />

Now we're sure not experts or medical professionals, so don't take this as medical advice! But we've had some good results from products containing Neem oil. We started seeing flea shampoos with Neem a few years ago, but didn't really know what it was and thought it was just a new "gimmick" ingredient. But NO! We think it's the real deal.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A few years ago, Aspen started getting a skin condition that we referred to as the "creeping crud." Don't worry, we don't have pictures of it. It started in her ears, then showed up under her neck and then her elbows as kind of black and crusty - YUK! There was never a definitive answer to what exactly it was, but probably some yeasty thing. It was treated with traditional medications and seemed to pretty much disappear last year when we went "Out West" on our road trip. Yay! We figured the dryer climate didn't hurt either. We were able to stop her meds and she's been looking good. Then, in the late summer we started to see a bit of the creeping crud in her ears again. We started putting prescription drops on it, then it moved to her neck and Mom decided there must be something else to use. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So Mom went to Earth Fare and started asking the guys in the herb/vitamin section what they would recommend. They mentioned Neem so she picked up a booklet they had and read about it.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Seems this stuff is pretty amazing. It is widely used as a natural herbicide and the cashier at Earth Fare said he uses it on his tomato plants. Here's a bit from Wikipedia:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Neem oil</b> is a </span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">vegetable oil</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem (<i>Azadirachta indica</i>), an </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">evergree</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">n tree which is </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">endemic</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> to the </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Indian subcontinen</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">t and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics. It is, perhaps, the most important of the commercially available products of neem for organic farming and medicines.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Neem oil is generally red as blood, and has a rather strong odour that is said to combine the odours of peanut and garlic. It comprises mainly </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">triglycerides</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> and large amounts of </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">triterpenoid</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> compounds, which are responsible for the bitter taste. It is hydrophobic in nature and in order to emulsify it in water for application purposes, it must be formulated with appropriate </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">surfactants</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Neem oil also contains </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">steroids</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> (</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">campesterol</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">beta-sitosterol</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">stigmasterol</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">) and many </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">triterpenoids</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> of which </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">azadirachtin</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> is the most well known and studied. The azadirachtin content of neem oil varies from 300ppm to over 2500ppm depending on the extraction technology and quality of the neem seeds crushed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom bought a bottle of Neem Oil and a bar of soap. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She used a couple of drops on Aspen's ears and washed her neck with the soap. Within a couple of days, the creeping crud was clearing up and she stopped using it. Aspen's ears and neck still look good. She was so impressed that she started reading more about Neem and discovered Neem Leaf capsules so she got some of those, too. Now, we're all taking Neem Leaf as it is supposed to be good for skin and digestion, among other things.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Again, we're not medical professionals and you should always check with your vet before using anything as there could be contraindications! But we wanted to share our experience with you in case you might benefit from using Neem.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Has anyone else used Neem? </span><br />
