Dog Lovers: Best of the Week

I don't usually write "best of" posts, but I don't want any dog lover to miss out on these great sites, articles, and ideas. 

1. Wondering what to do with your dog if you're traveling for the holidays? We take ours with us, but Something Wagging's got a good summary of the options (along with pros and cons of each). 
2. I wanna make these delicious doggy pancake puffs and keep them all to myself. They look THAT good. Thanks Jodi, for making me want to eat the dog's breakfast. 
3. Want a feel-good cry? This amazing ad will do the trick. It's lovely. And the behind-the-scenes is amazing! Wow.
4. You don't have to convince me that rescue dogs rock. Meet Rupee, the first dog to climb Mt. Everest!
5. I think I knew a group of penguins was called a rookery, but a congress of salamanders? A wisdom of wombats? Really? Wanna know what a group of giraffes is called? Or woodpeckers?
6. If your dog has separation anxiety, you might be interested in this high-tech toolkit. [A great read, especially if you're a behavior geek like me!]

Your turn: Do you like lists like this one? It was fun to put it together. Let m e know if you like lists — they can become a regular Smart Dog Blog feature!
