What goes in must come out! That's right y'all, poop happens. But, have no fear of the doodie, I found something to make every dog owner's life a little easier - Dogbag Duffels.

The Dogbag Duffel  from Doggie Walk Bags are fun, festive, lightweight, easy to use dog bag dispensers.
No more plastic grocery bags or bulky, cumbersome dispensers for the SWD poopers. I just attach a Dogbag Duffel to the SWD leash and off a walkin' we go. It works like a charm. Now, if only the pooping pups would at least offer to carry their own baggage. 

 
10. They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting a soda.

9. They will take the treat you give them and bury in the back yard like a paranoid crack head hiding their stash.

8. They will jump on your bed with muddy feet. Making you do the laundry...again!

7. They will lick visitors with an uncontrolled passion only they
understand.

6. They will cause children to smile.

5. They will make you feel horrible for not walking them by looking at you with deep sad eyes.

4. They will look at you like you committed a crime against them if you don't let them lick your ice cream bowl.

3. They will cause wide spread happiness in large group settings.

2. They will crack you up by shaking their butts so hard you think they are going to snap in half.

And the number one reason why you can't trust Pit Bulls...

1. They will steal your heart like a thief in the night, showing you complete and pure love that only a Pit Bull can show. 

A friend showed me these pawsome tattoos on Dog Milk and I just had to share. Are they woofin' cool or what! 

The fido finger art got me thinkin' about SWD crew tattoos.

I was inked in honor of my dearly departed Ellie after she passed. Now, I want to honor my 13-year old boy who is doing pretty well for an old guy. My dilemma -- I can't decide on a design worthy of my Blu. As my first dog, Blu and I've shared the last nine years together. The Ellie tattoo was an easy choice -- the heart and bone design was in her food bowl. I took the bowl with me to Timeless Tattoo  in Atlanta where Ryan did a pawfect job personalizing the tattoo. Now what does Dog-Ma do for Blu.

So my questions to y'all:

1) Do you have a dog tattoo?  (if yes, what does your design look like)
2) Any tattoo suggestions for me and my Blu?

That's right y'all -- Dog-Ma was in jail, the joint, lockup, the big house, the clink -- and the best part -- the dogs made me do it! 

Gwinnett County, Georgia started a jail dogs program and last month I had the opportunity to check it out first hand. The program is called Operation Second Chance and it saves the lives of dogs in local shelters. Dogs are paired with inmates who are then in charge of care and basic training. To say witnessing the program in action was a humbling experience would be an understatement. The dogs bond with their inmates and in return the inmates learn responsibility and unconditional love.

During the visit, my fellow crazy dog lovin' friend Jen and I met some pawcredible dogs - all available for adoption. Atlas immediately stole my heart along with Bo and Luna. Wish I could've taken the trio of canine crusaders home. Now I'm thinking about baking them a liver cake with a file inside or mapping out a Pawshank Redemption escape plan.

Hats off to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department for taking action to help dogs on death row. The Society of Humane Friends volunteers take care of food, vet services, training and adoptions. The program doesn't even cost tax payers a cent. Can't argue with that. Also, the jail dogs program also gets hefty monthly supplies of treats donated from the pawmazing Big Daddy Biscuits.

Big thanks to Amy Jackson of Karmalized Pictures for getting me on the inside and for her dedication to getting the word out about this pawtastic program. She is a filmmaker currently documenting Jail Dogs on video.  Also, thanks to Jen for letting me tag along. And thank you Deputy Lee, for showing us around and for running this pawsome operation!

I couldn't have said this better myself, So what did I do? Promptly ordered one of these poignant pawsome totes. Check out MyAnimalActivist Righteous Bitch's Collection for a Balls Sack and other products.

Can't wait for my new tote's arrival to help spread the word about spaying and neutering. If y'all haven't seen the numbers yet, prepare yourselves to be blown away by the chart below. Spaying and neutering your pets clearly saves live.
