🐕 Your dog just wagged at this

What’s up, belly rubbers? We’re rolling into this issue like a dog in fresh grass! Let’s go!

Today’s Highlights:

Paws For Thought
“My dog is not spoiled. I’m just well trained.”

Pup Hack
The Green Bean Diet

If your pup is getting a little too fluffy, plain 🫛 green beans may help with weight control. They are low in calories, high in fiber, and can help dogs feel fuller. Stick with plain green beans only - no butter, seasoning, garlic, onion, or added salt.

Some vets suggest replacing a small portion of regular dog food with green beans to cut calories, but don't make a big diet change without asking your vet first. Dogs still need balanced nutrition, so think of green beans as a helpful add-on - not a full dinner replacement.

👋 Peni sent in this sweet dog park photo, and this pup looks like he understood the assignment - fresh air, happy vibes, and a perfect day for making new furry friends.

👋 Meet Cotton, a 4-pound toy poodle with a big job and an even bigger personality. I met Cotton at the Barkland Dog Expo last weekend, where this tiny pup was busy stealing hearts. Cotton may be small, but as a cardiac service dog, this little fluffball proves that heroes can come in extra-small packages.

At the time I wrote this, this indoor camera is 36% off, bringing the price down to $15.96. Wow. For under 16 bucks, it's packed with features and has almost 26,000 reviews, with most of them looking positive ⭐️.

I already have cameras outside my house, but nothing indoors. So I'm going to try this one out so I can keep an eye on the dogs while I'm out of the house or upstairs working on Broward Bark.

For the price, it seems like an easy way to check in on the pups, make sure nobody is causing chaos, and catch the exact moment the "good dogs" become suspects.
