Rainy weather makes dogs sad

Filed under: Dog Fun | No Comments »

Does your dog get the blues when it rains? I know it sounds silly, but ours sure does! He mopes, sighs big sighs, and tends to put his head in our laps more often.

What’s funny is we take him for walks, even in the rain, so about the only thing that’s different is he doesn’t lay outside in the sun (or in the den, in front of the French doors, in the sun that streams in). So, I’m not really sure why he seems to think the rain is such a crushing blow.

We have to give him cookies and dry him off when he comes in and make a generally big deal about what a Big, Brave Boy he is to go out in the wet, wet rain. (Well, okay, so we don’t *have* to), and even then he seems to think that getting his feet wet is just about the worst thing ever.

What about your dog? Does he like it when it rains? Do you play any special games or give special treats?


Free Money for Savings Account

Filed under: Dog Fun | No Comments »

I’m almost out of coupons if you want a $25 reward from Capital One for opening a savings account, so make sure to email me but-quick :-) .

It’s basically a free $25–all you do is open the account, put in a deposit, and they’ll reward you. If I didn’t already have a Capital One Savings Account, and were eligible for the reward, I’d use mine on a bag full of sterilized beef bones as Vance has chomped his way through his last one and is in need of a new set (we like to keep several on hand so that we can smear a little peanut butter into all of them and keep him occupied for hours).

So, to get your free money, post a comment on this post, the previous one, or send me an email.


Get $25 from Capital One

Filed under: Dog Fun | 3 Comments »

Okay, so this is totally not dog related (unless you spend that $25 bonus on some yummy dog treats), but Capital One’s given me some coupons that’ll get you $25 when you open a new account with them. All you have to do is post a comment here or email me and I’ll send you one. Please only ask for one if you’ll actually open the savings account as they’ve given me just a limited number.

In this economic moment, it’s nice when banks give you money to save, don’t you think? And, what’s more, that bonus will get you a head start on the account!

So, to get your $25 bonus, post a comment here or send me an email, and I’ll send you the code for free money from Capital One.
