A Walk Around the Blogs: Quick and Dirty Walkies

Quick, though not yet dirty

Quick and dirty not because I didn’t read any blogs this week, and not because I don’t love writing round ups, but because I am not yet over this cough, and I’m about to kick the boys out of the house for a few hours, and I can’t wait to go curl up in bed with the puppies and watch bad TV. Luckily, doggies got a full hour at the dog park this morning, and are pretty happy to just curl up with me.

I am doing something different this week in that I’m giving you six blogs from what I regularly read and 4 new to me blogs. Why? Because I felt like it.

So here’s what we’ve got.

On the Nature of Blogging:

Live the New Economy wrote about the Sadness of Abandoned Blogs. This week I’ve been working on cleaning up my blogroll, creating an “On Hiatus” section for blogs I am hoping will come back to life one day.

Heart Like a Dog explained the Evolution of a Blog Post on a day where everything seemed constantly in flux.

Finance Blogs:

Daily Money $hot on 4 Ways to Find More Time for Fun (something we all need right now)

Money Coun$elor on creating a tradition of giving, with Giving Tuesday

New to the Yakezie Challenge blog, Live Well on Less on Accountability

Also new to the Yakezie Challenge, Happy Simple Living gives us a recipe for Hot Bacon, Artichole, Chile and Cheese Dip Appetizers

Pet Blogs:

Because the Seattle area is having outbreaks of bordatella and parvo at the moment, I thought I’d share Cindy Lu’s post on Which Vaccines for Your Dog

We pondered, more than once, a board and train program for Moree, so I loved this post from Of Pit Bulls & Patience about Board and Train from the trainer’s point of view.

New to me, My Brown Newfies writes about the way her dogs welcome her home.

Also new to me, Hey…It’s Jet Here unexpectedly lost one of their cats this week and posted this lovely tribute in Mom’s Promise to Puffy

And now, time for jammies and hot cocoa, puppy cuddles and bad TV. How are you spending the rest of your Saturday?

Hey it's Jet here. Hi Miss Erin.

Thanks for visiting my blog and sharing the post about Puffy's crossing *OTRB*. We look forward to getting to know you better under happier circumstances. Mom read about you and thinks your writing journey is fascinating. She really likes the name "The Dog Ate My Wallet!" Mom and I began our blog last year as a way to lift our spirits after my golden sister, Koko, crossed *OTRB* Mom writes a lot for her Kitchen Counselor business, so, she resonated with you "100 words" idea.

Have a great Sunday.

I look forward to getting to you know you under better circumstances, too. I understand your mom\’s reasons for starting your blog. I started this one because almost a year after his death, I was still breaking down in tears every time I thought of Moree.
Thank you for visiting all the site.
