I love Pit Bulls. I do not currently have one, but I still love them. have never met a Pit that didn’t respond to me kisses and head butts. This is one reason I love Pittieful Love. They are dedicated to helping get the message of how great these dogs are out to the wider world. Besides blogging, they also foster, and, of course, have their own Pittie love.

This year has been a rough year for the family, losing their first dog, but they have found a new member of the family, and this week, he gets Squeeky Clean.

Blog Feature: Sustainable Life Blog

C and I try to be as environmentally responsible as possible. We often make decisions between multiple products based on the environmental impact. Because of this, I love reading about other people who are doing the same thing (often better than we are). Naturally I am choosing the time frame while Jeff is on his honeymoon (Congratulations Jeff and H!) to highlight Sustainable Life Blog, but I always enjoy reading his take on things.

And this week, his review of his Greensmart bag is making me interested in looking that direction next time I need to replace an all-purpose bag.

Bloggers Unite for Dog Rescue

Today, all of my blogs are dedicated to the Blogger’s Unite for Dog Rescue campaign. Rescuing a dog is not just about adopting from your local shelter (though that is great), it starts with getting dogs out of abusive and neglectful homes, runs through care at shelters, sometime transportation to other shelters or rescues where the dogs have a better chance of being adopted, foster homes, adoption drives, and finally, the family that brings their new member home.

You can support dog rescue in any capacity, even if it is just making others aware that great dogs come from shelters.

Over at Dog is God in Reverse, they have 4 dogs- that’s one more dog than us. And she works far enough away that she’s not home during the week. Talk about a hectic life!

I love their product reviews and especially the book reviews (because my “to read” list needs to get longer), but this week, I want to focus on their grand dame, Tori. Tori has been with the family less than a year, but she knows how to take charge. And just recently, she was featured in a photo spread in Life and Dog. You go girl!

Blog Feature: Money Crush

Each week as I prepare to do the blog feature, I go through past posts so that I don’t do a repeat. Sometimes, I realize with surprise that I haven’t featured someone who it really seems like I should have. That’s the case this week with Jackie and Money Crush. I had to check my list twice, just to make sure, because I thought for sure I would have featured her around Women’s Money Week, if nothing else. But no.

So here you are, Money Crush, and that tricky little question- is it easier to spend less or save more?

I love Anne The Dog Photographer’s site. In addition to posting great pictures of dogs in need of adoption in her local area (and she is an excellent dog photographer), she’s started posting stories about her adventures with her own dogs, including this week’s “It Felt Like a Death March”, written from the perspective of her dog, Ollie.

I absolutely love the booties that were made for Ella, and Ollie looks beyond happy being carried. That’s just the goofball kind of grin that makes you fall in love.

So head on over to check out the pictures and the stories.

Blog Feature: Bog of Debt

I love the name Bog of Debt. It just so fully encapsulates the feeling of being stuck in debt, and believing it’s hopeless, like there’s no way out. But just like Bear Grylls will strip down to his skivvies to show you how to get out of a real bog, Bog of Debt is mostly about THE PLAN. The Plan that will help her get out of debt and no longer feeling mired in.

One key way to motivate yourself is to write out the things you want to spend your money on. It looks like things are on track!

Blog Feature: 2 Punk Dogs with appearances by 4 cool cats

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat month. I can’t get a cat because of C’s allergies and the fact that I have two fairly high prey drive dogs. But if I could get a cat, I would totally adopt an older cat from a shelter. Why an older cat? Pretty much for all the reasons spelled out in Older Cats Rock! over at 2 Punk Dogs with appearances by 4 cool cats.

I love the humor of this blog, and the pictures, and that they manage to have cats even while having 2 punk terriers. If they can do it…

Blog Feature: @Squirrelers

Posted in blogging, Finances, Writing | Comments Off

I have been reading Squirrelers for quite some time. I may have started reading it just for the name, I don’t really remember. Squirrelers is an incredibly well rounded and diverse personal finance blog. As an example, the last five entries are about visiting theme parks, long term insurance, graduation speaches, gold as an investment, and what companies get back when they give stuff out for free.

My favorite posts, though, are when he writes about family. And my all time favorite is from last December, when he wrote about the benefits of spending an afternoon in his daughter’s classroom.

Blog Feature: Of Pit Bulls and Patience

Of Pit Bulls and Patience is the blog of a dog trainer which focuses on her two dogs- Skye, a Pit Bull and Parker, a Schnauzer mix- as well as some of the dogs she is currently working with. She also gives us lots of pictures of the dogs, which we all know, I love.

She has been really busy lately, so there haven’t been too many posts, but What Goes Around got posted on Friday, getting us all up to date on weddings, French Bulldogs, Dachsunds, dog aggression, and Yorkies.

That is a lot of dogs for a summer.
