Paws For Thought
“Dogs don’t judge us by our past - they only care about who we are in the moment.”
Berry Good News
Makes a Sweet, Healthy Treat for Your Pup
Strawberries 🍓 are a paw-sitively sweet and nutritious treat for your furry friend! Packed with fiber and vitamin C, these juicy berries even come with a built-in tooth whitener 🦷 - nature’s way of saying 'good dog!' But remember, while strawberries are a tasty treat, they should be enjoyed in moderation due to their natural sugar content - just like any other special snack for your pup.

 Oliver |  Berlin |
🐶 Say hello to Oliver from Tamarac! Soon to be 6 years old, Oliver loves the outdoors and meeting new friends on 🐕🦺 walks. With the heat, he’s been spending more time indoors, where he loves to play ball, enjoy cuddles, and soak up belly rubs. And of course, he's a 🐹 real ham who loves the spotlight!
🐕 Meet Berlin, a 12-year-old American Bulldog/Australian Cattle Dog who found her forever home a decade ago through the Broward Humane Society. She spent many years as part of the American iDogs training and performance team. Even as a senior dog, Berlin still loves 🥾 hiking, playing fetch, 🥽 swimming, and working on her skills, especially when treats are involved!
Share your pup’s 📸 photo with me! Reply to this email with a picture, and I'll do my best to feature it in an upcoming newsletter or on social media. I get so many photos, and while I can’t share them all, I’ll try to display as many as possible!
Howl Outs
👉 Shorebreak Resort - If you’re looking for an amazing 🐕 dog-friendly getaway, this is the spot. Check out this awesome video - I've already decided where I’m staying next!
👉 Jeffeepops - Just found this local company on Instagram - looks tasty! Their 🦴 bone broth is pure, natural, and made from organic, free-range ingredients. With flavors like Elk, Bison, Chicken, and Beef, it's perfect as a frozen treat or a healthy kibble add-in. No additives, just goodness!
👉 Newman’s Pawsitive Pups - Positive dog training for pups of all ages. I know someone who could really use this... “cough Aaron cough!” 😜
National Dog Day
Time to Treat Your Pup Like Top Dog
National Dog Day is just around the corner on August 26th. Founded in 2004 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, this special day was created to celebrate all dogs, from beloved family pets to hard-working 🐕🦺 service dogs. It’s a day to honor the bond we share with our companions and raise awareness about the number of dogs in need of 🐶 adoption. Whether it’s giving your pup an extra treat, enjoying a long walk together, or simply cuddling on the couch, it’s the perfect time to show your dog how much they mean to you. It’s also a great opportunity to support shelters and 🤗 consider adopting a dog in need. Let’s make this National Dog Day a memorable one!
