REVIEW: BumperPet Customized Pet Sticker
Bumper Pet Customized Pet Sticker
Where to Find: BumperPet.com
Are you bored with all those un-original bumper stickers? Sick and tired of the "My Child is an Honor Student" decals? Perhaps you've been longing to stick your pup's mug on your bumper and show the world that your pet is way cuter than their honor student could ever be (don't judge me, I know I'm not the only one)... Now you can! BumperPet.com is the place to go to create removable stickers of your pets!
BumperPet.com is easy to use. In just 4 simple steps, you can create and fully customize a sticker of your pets....
With several templates to choose from - as well as the ability to add text and shapes - the possibilities are completely up to you and your imagination! Create a basic shape sticker or customize an "In Case of Emergency" sticker for your front door, a special iPhone skin or even an Agility Superstar sticker. No matter which template you choose, you will be creating something very special and unique!
I opted to create a sticker of my pack using the oval 7" x 5" template. The process was not only simple, but fast! Shipping was also quick - and secure. My sticker was shipped in a rigid cardboard envelope to ensure there was no damage. And to top it all off, $1 - 2 from each and every sale is donated to an animal related charity!

I haven't stuck the Lapdogs to my bumper just yet, as I'm thinking this cool sticker may instead be the latest "sponsor" decal on their Daddy's race car!

The Lapdog B&B
Happy (a few words on) Wordless Wednesday! Over the weekend the Lapdog B&B welcomed another guest...
Bobby, a 9 week old Great Dane/Lab mix, was adopted by a wonderful family who happened to be away for the weekend, leaving the lovebug needing a place to crash Saturday night. I'll have more absolutely adorable photos to come as soon as I have time to download them (this boy was so full of love and kisses), but in the meantime these were taken while we were waiting on his family to pick him up (Kelly is still staying here at the Lapdog B&B, looking for her forever home)...

REVIEW: MY DOG! A Kids' Guide to Keeping a Happy & Healthy Pet
MY DOG! A Kids' Guide to Keeping a Happy & Healthy Pet
by Michael J. Rosen
Spiral-bound: 272 pages
Publisher: Workman Publishing Company (October 5, 2011)
MY DOG! A Kids' Guide to Keeping a Happy & Healthy Pet is the perfect companion book for every child who has - or wants - a dog, whether it be a brand new puppy or a beloved family member who's been around for years. Designed for children 8 and up, this guide book meets owner's manual meets scrapbook is both kid-friendly and parent approved.
Every child wants a dog, but too often than not, they - and their parents - don't understand the responsibilities that come along with adding a new member to their family. My Dog! teaches the essentials of feeding, grooming and training - all with the sensibilities of an energetic, eager-to-learn child in mind. My Dog! presents the information in a clear, unintimidating and entertaining manner. The colorful, interactive layout is fun for kids (and kids at heart), keeping their attention and peaking their interest to learn more. Plus, My Dog! features a customizable cover (slip a photo of the child's own best friend in the die-cut frame), pages for notes, doggy report cards, a pull-out dry erase dog care chart and a full-color guide to 74 dog breeds!
Author Michael J. Rosen explains why it was important for kids to be involved in training their pet... "Dogs and humans are both social creatures, and the more time we spend in each other's company, they more both creatures benefit. For kids to fully engage with their dog and reap the many rewards of this companionship, they can't simply 'help' with the feeding or walking. And they certainly can't be subjected to the daily frustrations of 'He keeps pulling!' - 'She got away again!' - 'He won't listen!' - 'She chewed my notebook again!' Kids need a role in the overall training so that the dog is comfortable, safe and obedient with everyone in the family. Playing games, grooming and turning the everyday walk into an adventure are more fun ways for the whole family to bond with your dog."
I couldn't agree more with Michael. Far too often there are issues within families with dogs and children that could be easily prevented and overcome with a little training and understanding. Every child deserves an obedient best friend and My Dog! helps make that happen.
About the Author: Michael J. Rosen has written, edited or illustrated several books, including Kids' Best Dog Book, Dogs We Love, Horse People, Fishing with Dad and My Bug. Many of his anthologies have supported humane efforts through the Company of Animals Fund, which he founded in 1990. Michael lives in central Ohio with his pack.
