Joke: Why did the dog sit in the shade?
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | First Pup Allowed in Hospital Labor Ward
Belle is a two-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is now the first doggy midwife in the UK. She assisted her owner, Amee Tomkins, throughout her entire pregnancy journey and was able to go with her in the ambulance and into the labor ward when she gave birth. The service she provided helped her win the UK's Pet of the Year for 2023.
Tomkins had a C-section after doctors determined that it would be better for her anxiety and autism. Belle was allowed to stay with her before surgery and was ready in the room as soon as she was done. Belle will continue serving as Tomkins' service dog and now becomes a part of the baby's life too. | | | Image courtesy of Dogington Post. | | Reads We're Barking About

If you are looking for an adorable dog costume but are lacking in the sewing skill department, don't worry! This is a simple project you can do for your dog.
Dog Pumpkin Mask & Bandana
You'll need: Template available in this link; Iron-on transfer paper, two light-colored A4 sheets of felt, orange or black ribbon, ruler, scissors, hemming tape, fabric marker pen, and a dog collar. - Print out the mask and bandana iron-on template in color to the iron-on transfer paper.
- Cut out the pumpkin dog bandana and mask iron-on templates.
- Lay the mask printout on one of the felt sheets and cut out a rectangle around it.
- Create a rectangle on the other sheet of felt, by drawing a line across the full width of the sheet. You want the height to be about 4x the width of your dog's collar.

Collagen, an essential protein in the body, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, flexible joints, and strong bones. With its structural support, collagen promotes skin elasticity, joint flexibility, and bone strength. Additionally, it contributes to the health and vitality of hair and nails. As a key component of connective tissues, collagen aids in promoting overall well-being, making it a vital ingredient for a healthy and active lifestyle. It's essential if you want to keep up with your pup!
A great option for getting more collagen in your diet is through supplements. One of our favorites is NativePath- a premium collagen powder that is sourced as close to nature as possible.
