Dogs get their own pool party at Line Creek Community Center every year before they drain, clean and close the pool for the year. I wish Victoria’s Crystal Pool would do it again - they did a few years ago before I had a dog!

We’re loving this funky poop-bag packaging from Olive.
Here’s why to buy biodegradable bags, from Olive’s site:
It seems strange that conscientious dog owners pick up their dog’s poo (which is 100% biodegradable)…only to pop it into a plastic bag that will be with us for 100’s of years.
US dogs produce enough waste to fill an 800-foot-tall football field every year and plastic bags can take over 100 years to decompose. Scooping all that poop into petroleum-based plastic bags leaches toxic chemicals as they slooowly break down over thousands of years in landfills. Alternatively, leaving scat on the ground isn’t an eco-friendly (nor neighbor-friendly) option either, as 20-30% of all pollutants in waterways can be attributed to canine waste.

Does your dog gulp down their food? There is a theory that dogs that gulp food quickly can be more prone to bloat. You can buy a gimmicky food bowl that stops it, or feed your dog in an angel foodcake tin to stop the gulping. The cheapest solution is to place a giant rock into their food dish. The dog has to eat their food from around the rock, which forces him to eat at a slower pace. If you worry about the speed that your dog eats, try placing a rock in there and see if it improves their manners.

Name: Roxy
Breed or combo: Shepherd/Chow/??
Hood: West Saanich
Fave hangout: Island View Beach, Dallas Road
Fave snack: Toast with butter on it! When one of my owners makes this in the morning I refuse to stop the drool from pouring out of my mouth until she gives me a bite.
More scoop: I was a shelter dog who was rescued from terrible abuse. I did not get the chance to properly interact with people and other dogs when I was growing up, so now I am a bit socially awkward! If you’re a human, I might bark at you, and if you’re a dog, I might charge up and knock you over. Read the rest of this entry »
