I have met many dogs in my lifetime, but for some reason, it seems like the names I come by are becoming a bit redundant, i.e. Fido, Happy, Lucky, Duchess and Spot. I think it’s time to get a list of female dog names and male dog names together to give new dog owners and owners of puppies a new way of coming up with dog names. The most popular way of naming a dog is to go by how they look or their personality — most common being Spot if he has a lot of spots or a unique spot and Lucky if the pup almost died. I think we should begin treating our pups like we do our children, name them something unique and appealing — and if possible with meaning. What did you name your dog? How did you come about it?

The accessories available for dogs are likely endless; I think that anything a dog owner can have or wear, so can their dog.

I love the idea of having dog robes - not only are they cute, but they do the job of helping to dry them off after a bath.

For a long time you have seen celebrities like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson display their small dogs in the media. Small dogs are definitely “in”, and it seems like the designers are only giving attention to them - sorry to the big dogs.

I will definitely keep an eye out for cuter items for the bigger pooches - so far, I have only seen mediocre designs.

It is important for every pet owner to take care of their pups, especially when it comes to harmful insects like ticks, mosquitoes and fleas. Using insect repellents is ideal for keeping these pests at bay, but some of them are a bit too harsh. Just think, these pesticides contain dangerous chemicals and we’re placing them on our pet’s fur. It is known that these bug repellents seep into the blood of our pets and can spread through their bodies. And even worse, there are side effects - plainly stated on the labels of these repellents - that include:

• Fur loss
• Infections
• Organ failure
• Death

There is an alternative with organic bug repellents. These are made with natural herbs and substances that are completely safe for your dog - not pests, which is the way it’s supposed to be. Some even have vitamins and minerals that can help your dog’s immune system and give them a nice shiny coat.

Have you met Zelda? She’s the star modella for Zelda’s Wisdom. Zelda was first discovered when she won a local greeting card contest. Since then, her popularity has grown, especially with men, which has enabled her to get a contract with Hallmark greeting cards. But you can still get your own customized cards online. There are dozens of different Zelda shots and captions to choose from. They even have a mailing service to make sending that little bit of humour even easier. Other gifts are available too like books, mouse pads, and calendars. If you love bulldogs or you just want a cheerful, unique card for a friend - check out Zelda.
