With less than 1 ounce of pet fur, you can make a bookmark, ear warmer, headband, hair scrunchie, shoe laces, decorative flowers, hearts, sachets, or even an entire skein of yarn. (Most of these cost under $20.)

With 3 ounces or more, they can custom make an item for you. Prices typically range from $20 to $60 and higher for larger customized items.

I wrote about the finding pet-friendly housing before.

Now, I've found a few more helpful resources for dog owners who are looking for an affordable house or apartment to rent. Plus, some tips for persuading a landlord to accept your pet.

I'm hoping at least a few of you who visit this page will take a quick second to reply in the Comments below:

"Big" (or "Little", or "Both")

and...

"Male" (or "Female", or "Both")

...in reference to your actual experiences as a dog owner.

The Question:

Have you mostly had little female dogs? Little male dogs? Big female dogs? Or big male dogs?

Or, have you had a little bit of everything, in which case "Both sizes" or "Both genders" would be the appropriate answer.

I'm simply wondering what most people's preferences are when it comes to choosing a dog and if they notice any "obvious trends" in those choices.

Is your dog a rightie or a leftie?

We're not talking about paw-tendencies here. We're talking about tail wagging.

Turns out, you can learn a lot from your dog about the way he wags his tail!

Consider this yet another form of "dog speak".

A classic from the archives...

Proof that dogs have humans wrapped around their little finger paw...

From an article entitled "Puppy School":

Welcome puppies. You are about to embark upon the most important phase in your life and that is proper education. Our major principle out here is to teach you to be an individual, to teach you how not to bow down to the human, teach you how to make life miserable for the humans in short do everything possible to embarrass and humiliate the humans. One day you are going to go out in this world and maybe adopt a human being and if you are lucky HE will behave the way you want to, if not the old adage comes true "it's a dog's life".

Who is really the boss in your home... You, or your dog?

If you've got more than one dog, which one is the top dog?

You need to know this.

We learned it the hard way... after one of our dogs got a bit out of line. Some 'experts' in the field taught us how to communicate to him in terms of dog packs and hierarchies and show him that we are the "Alpha dog" -- at all times -- not him!
