Blog Feature: Dog is God in Reverse


21 Jul

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


14 Jul

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?

Blog Feature: Anne the Dog Photographer


07 Jul

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


30 Jun

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


23 Jun

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: Of Pit Bulls and Patience


09 Jun

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.

Blog Feature: The Happy Homeowner


02 Jun

I figured this was a good weekend to highlight Jen at The Happy Homeowner because she has so many exciting things going on right now. She recently changed the look of the site (I love it), quit her full time job without having another one lined up (she does have a part time job and some other business ventures), and oh yeah, recently came out of the closet, introducing herself to us, instead of remaining anonymous.

So head on over there, wish her luck on her goals, on her new job interview, let her know we like knowing her name.

Blog Feature: Tales and Tails


12 May

Let me start by saying that if you want to see some lovely photographs of dogs, you definitely need to head over to Tales and Tails. And while the Greyhounds, both Bunny and Blueberry, are absolutely gorgeous, I am partial to the shepherds. I grew up with an amazing GSD, so I just cannot help but be like everyone else, including the vet school students, and be in love with little Kuster. I am partial to crazy Morgan, though, too. And I just want to give her a hug, not that she would ever let me, but I want to.

Blog Feature: American Debt Project


05 May

I enjoy American Debt Project. She’s honest about her situation, her goals, and when she messes up. In fact, I often think she’s too hard on herself. It’s a problem I’ve noticed with a lot of personal finance bloggers. Even though we start blogging because we have made mistakes, and we want other people to know that that’s okay, we start to expect perfection from ourselves. Well, none of us, not even the big name personal finance bloggers, are perfect. We all take our own road to financial freedom. I’m happy to be sharing the journey with American Debt Project.

Blog Feature: Something Wagging this Way Comes


28 Apr

Pamela has not been blogging there much lately, but it still surprised me when realized I had not yet done a blog feature on Something Wagging This Way Comes. I consistently enjoy Pamela’s writing, her positive attitude, and the lessons she is able to learn from her beautiful Golden Retriever, Honey. In fact, my favorite posts of hers are from her Puppiness Project series, where she attempts to learn lessons about how to be happy from Honey. The latest, The Blessing Accompanies the Curse, is a reminder to see a silver lining in every cloud, just like our dogs do.
