Social networking is all the rage these days -- even when it comes to finding friends of the four-legged kind! Thanks to Doggyspace, dogs (and their owners) have a place to gather online and share stories, videos, pictures, and more.

Yep, Doggyspace is "a doggy's place on the Internet".

In case you're not familiar with social networks yet... simply put, they are websites that promote communities of people with similar interests. The biggest reason to visit a social networking site is to find others who enjoy the same things you do. It's a great way to mix & mingle with people you have things in common with -- even though you've probably never met, and you likely never will.

Much like many of the social networks for humans, Doggyspace allows dogs to have their own network of friend, post photos, videos, or find that hot date or two. It’s a fun and exciting way for dog owners to get together online with their pets!" -- Doggyspace

Here's why I like Doggyspace...

I recently got one of these pillows. To me, it says everything I've thought for years about dogs... you've gotta love 'em, fur and all!

No outfit is complete without dog hair!

I always worry whenever friends or relatives come over, because I realize they're probably not as accepting of dog fur as we are around here. I mean, I keep a clean house and everything, but when you've got dogs, it's just something you learn to live with -- day in and day out.

Dog hair just has a way of showing up in the strangest places!

You've probably seen commercials for The Goodlife Recipe on TV...

Today, August 20th, kicks off the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest sponsored by The Goodlife Recipe brand food & treats for cats and dogs.

Here's an email I received from Abby on behalf of The Goodlife Recipe:

I've been following your blog ever since we started talking about The Goodlife Recipe products and treats back in January. I know you're always looking for the latest pet news and products (the Cleanup Bag Dispenser is great!), so I wanted to share information about a fun and exciting contest that's being launched this summer called the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest (www.goodliferecipe.com). The contest is about sharing real moments like the hilarious doggie "boot scoot" clip (a close-competitor to the Stanley Steamer commercial)."
