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."

In Celebration of President's Day (U.S.)
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!*)
Click here for TIME's Photo Essay on "President Dogs."
Listed below are the 20 most recent presidental pooches (along with other select animals), according to The Dog Guide's website. For pictures of the pets listed below, please click here.
20 - "Old Whiskers," pet goat, belonging to Benjamin Harrison's son.
19 - "Algonquin," a pony, belonging to Archie, Teddy Roosevelt's son.
18 - "Pauline Wayne," a cow, belonging to Howard Taft.
17 - "Old Ike," a ram, belonging to Woodrow Wilson.
16 - "Tiger" or "Tige," a cat, belonging to Calvin Coolidge.

Popular Dog Breeds and their Common Health Issues
WebMD's Slide show on the 25 Most Popular Dog Breeds and their Health Concerns
Check out this link above for information on common dog health concerns and issues based on WebMD's take on the "25 Most Popular Dog Breeds."
WebMD (www.webmd.com) is a website with insightful information mostly dealing with human health problems. There are forums and discussion boards, a medical dictionary, a pill identifier, tools to help you evaluate the "healthiness" of your behaviors and daily routine - like the Symptom Checker and the dieting healthy tool, access to bunches of articles on health topics. This is all for people and like I said before, it is more of a person-oriented website rather than appealing to all the pet owners and animal-lovers in the world. The point I'm trying to make is that WebMD's information that is made available to the public is high quality. I haven't come across a single article, picture, chart, or slide show that didn't have nearby the name of an expert/professional who advises the printing of the article. WebMD, on their home page, has a toolbar at the top of its page to organize its files and articles and such. On the very end of the toolbar is a page link labelled "Pet Health." Under this link, you will find many articles pertaining to the health of pets - mostly dogs and cats.
There is also another website I have come across in my research and I'm not sure if it's legit, but still I thought it worth sharing with my readers so you all could discover it for yourselves.
The website is listed as www.petmd.com. Please check it out and let me know what you think of both of these sites listed here today. I plan on checking out "PetMD" a little further myself as well.

Howlin' Good Dog Comments
A few of my favorite sayings/quotes about dogs are listed below. I found them through an Android cell phone app that I downloaded for free. Hopefully I'll find lots more and be able to share them with you as well! Enjoy!
"Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit." ~ Walter Scott
"No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich." ~ Louis Sabin
"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." ~ Andy Rooney
"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." ~ Gilda Radner
"It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?" ~ Eleanor H. Porter
"Whoever loveth me, loveth my hound." ~ Thomas Moore
"Dogs operate on the premise that human beings are fragile and require incessant affection and reassurance. The random lick of the hand and the furry chin draped over the instep are calculated to let the shaky owner know a friend is nearby." ~ Mary McGrory
"Man is a dog's ideal of what God should be." ~ Andre Mairaux
