4.22.19 4:20pEarth Day is a great time to start making more earth conscious choices when it comes to shopping, spring cleaning, and more! Today I’m going to try out a handful of different ways to go green with your pup!- The first is to make the switch to biodegradable poop bags. This almost feels like a cop-out to me so I started with it to get it out of the way. I am going to switch to biodegradable bags though! They decompose in about the same time it takes for an apple to decompose! How wild is that?
- Now we’re getting into the fun stuff! Bake your own dog treats! We’ve already done that before but you can try out the ones we made for Mardi Gras last month. It never hurts to have an extra batch or two on hand. What if you suddenly end up with another dog? You have to be prepared to give out snacks!
- If you’ve got some ratty socks here’s a way for you to recycle them. You can tie two of them into a big knot and stuff treats in between the folds. If you’ve got paint stained or hole filled shirts you can cut those up into strips and braid those together into stinky new dog toys. My two Goldens love tugging on shirts braids together!
- Along those lines, you can also take old t-shirts and cut them into bandana squares. You can stitch the edges to give them a cool pattern or you can tie that around your dogs’ neck as a cute accessory.
- Donate old sheets and blankets to your local shelters. Do a quick internet search and find a shelter that jives with you then give them a call. They might have select hours they can accept clothing donations or special hours of operation.
- Instead of driving to the dog park try jogging there. Exercise is good for you and your dog will appreciate the extra bonding time. Let them take the time to sniff at whatever is on the way, just put in a podcast and enjoy a nice leisurely stroll. If you’re looking for an educational podcast give Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness a try. I’m currently obsessed.

It's a very exciting time in the weeks leading up to their Gotcha Day but there's lots of work to be done yet! No matter the age or size of the doggy you're bringing home there are some basic steps you need to take first. Before you go out and buy toys consider the following- what kind of drives does this breed or mixes of breeds have? Are they built for scent tracking like a bloodhound or are they meant for corralling livestock like a border collie? Depending on the breed and their needs some toys might be more beneficial than others. Do some research and see how you can accommodate those instincts in a structured way. Flyers for the jump and catch dogs, tires for the heavy chewers, and puzzles for the quick thinkers. Before you get your dog look into local dog clubs. There are breed specific clubs and sport specific clubs on t
