Trendy Topics: Starting a new dog blog segment.

Hello to all my readers & followers!

I'd like to introduce to you a new segment in my dog blog called, "Trendy Topics." (note: it may later be changed to "Trendy Topics on Tuesdays") Because, my goal is to get this new segment put together by every Tuesday. So it will be weekly - just like Wordless Wednesday!

I'm excited to do this because I feel it with give my blog depth and diversity.
I hope you guys look forward to reading each blog post as much as I do posting them!

My plan is to pull from my own Facebook page and all the Animal Rescue groups' Facebook page posts to give me insight/inspiration for my "Trendy Tuesdays."

Happy President's Day to all my United States readers!

Ever wondered about the U.S. President's and the pets they choose to accompany them in The White House? I know I do! I've done some research and I've found that not suprisingly, a lot of those pets, the majority of them it seems, are actually canine! (*woot! woot!*)
