Here’s this week’s Late Edition of Tuesday, or better Thursday Tip.  Halloween has been over for five days, but if you’ve looked down at the sidewalks this week, I’m sure you’ve seen some signs of the holiday not ready to be forgotten.  While out walking dogs this week, I’ve seen candy on the sidewalks of almost every neighborhood including lots of half eaten chocolate bars that perhaps were not a favorite of area trick or treaters.  So while you’re out walking your dogs, be sure to watch out for any candy on the ground before your pet finds it.  Don’t forget to be extra careful during evening walks now that it’s dark out earlier!

Tuesday Tip: Leash Clip

October 20th, 2009 by Amanda in Tuesday Tip

Today’s Tuesday Tip is for any pet owners that take their dogs to the dog park. When you’re at the dog park, you should always keep your dog’s leash close by and not on a table or hung from the entrance gate. You never know when a situation may occur when you’ll need to leash your dog quickly so it’s better to have it with you. Of course, playing fetch isn’t very easy with a leash in one hand so our Tuesday Tip this week is to keep a carabiner clip on the loop end of your dog’s leash for dog park trips. When you’re at the dog park, just hook the carabiner to the leash clip, and then you can wear the leash over your shoulder like a messenger bag for hands free play!

I hope you found this Tuesday Tip helpful. Zuma and I are off to the dog park!
