Remember these stunning engraved buckle collars? Well if you love that look but aren’t prepared to do away with you dog’s present collar here is another delightful option! Adjustable collar tags, available through Domestic Beast, allow owners to engrave all of their pets’ important information and then slip it onto their collar! No fuss at all and the chances of losing the tag is reduced! Isn’t that clever?

PS: Another clever tag loved by Pawsh and a funny one too!

I’d like to sign off this week by saying thank you yet again to all of you for welcoming another issue of Pawsh into the world. Your emails, tweets and Facebook messages have been a great inspiration and I am so thankful for all of your words!

I’m off to explore The Ottawa Pet Expo this weekend and will be posting all sorts of fun updates via Twitter and Instagram in case you’d like to follow along! Until then, here are a few fun pet links from around the web!

1.  Pug love!
2. The naughtiest dog breed.
3.  The most stylish dog crate ever.
4. The first dog I’ve ever come across called Bubba.
5. A new dog-friendly hotel.

Have you found anything interesting around the web this week? Here’s to an amazing weekend everyone! I hope to catch you on Twitter over the next couple of days!

Most dogs tend to dig, paw and snuffle at where they choose to sleep before actually settling down to snooze. It’s an instinct called ‘nesting’ and while it may be adorable to watch, sometimes you just don’t want pup clawing enthusiastically at your hand-knit afghan or 300-thread-count bed spread.

The solution? A bed designed specifically for digging like the INU YOCHI Dog Pod by Japanese designer Liron Tzanhan. The ruffled blanket is thick and durable — in other words, ideal for encouraging your pup’s natural instinct to mess things up before actually slipping into slumber.

PS: Four more stylish dog beds we love!

November is always a bit drab once the Halloween sugar-high dissipates. Statistically speaking it is one of the most depressing months as well for pets and people (thank you very much cold Mother Nature for keeping us all cooped up inside). So to combat some of the negativity that tends to swirl around this month, let’s create occasions to celebrate and keep busy — you are all invited!

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you and your dog can follow along with our #Pawshplans this month. All you need to do is download the FREE CALENDAR and either stick it on the fridge or set it as your desktop background, as a friendly reminder that there are fun things waiting!

Rory and I will be posting photos of our mini-celebrations on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and would LOVE to see your photos too! Just be sure to use the hashtag #Pawshplans! It would be great to see your pets having fun with these activities!

Yesterday’s fun activity was to “Brush your pooch” — a great bonding activity that any bellyrub loving pup adores! Have a wiggler on your hands? Here is some expert grooming advice to help make the task easier and more enjoyable! Above you can see on Instagram how fluffy Rory’s ears get when she’s been brushed! The outcome of a good grooming session never fails to make me giggle!

What do your dogs look like after a brush? Remember to share your photos with the hash tag #Pawshplans if you tackle yesterday’s task!
