We have a great deal of new visitors to the blog, so I wished to welcome everybody in addition to desire all visitors a happy new year.

Much of the material on that Mutt will be centered around the pictures you submit. You are always welcome to email your dog pictures to me at Lindsay@ThatMutt.com. We’ll have some reoccurring themes such as “Dogs Cuddling With Cats,” “Pawsitive Pitulls” as well as “Obedience institution Dropouts.” If you have some topic ideas, don’t hesitate to let me know. This blog is a neighborhood where everybody is welcome to participate.

It’s extremely important to me to utilize my composing background to deal with more in-depth topics associated to dog training, rescue or anything in the dog world so you will continue to see a column or two from me weekly – most likely on Wednesdays. next week I will be publishing about exactly how “no kill” means something totally different right here in California vs. in the Midwest where I’m from.

ThatMutt.com will always be a location in support of adoption, as well as something new I’m trying is to raise money monthly to sponsor the adoption charge of a shelter dog. A dog has a much higher possibility at being thought about for adoption if her adoption charge is close to nothing. This is one method each of you can assist by spreading the word about our very first sponsored dog – Gemini.

I’m excited about what 2014 will give this blog as well as its community, as well as I’m looking ahead to hearing more about each of you as well as your dogs.

My own dog Ace will turn 8 in March, as well as he seems to be doing great. He likes his walks, fetch sessions as well as trips to the dog beach. He’s such an remarkable dog , as well as we’re so lucky to have each other.

I hope you will each introduce yourselves as well as your dogs in the comments section. I’m happy to have you here.

-Lindsay (and Ace!)
