Big congrats and thanks for playing along to Laura, Lance, and Vito from The Dogs are Really in Charge. They won our Marcus of Umbria giveaway. On their blog, they tell all sorts of stories about their mixed family that includes a corgi (that’s Lance), a toller pup (that’s Vito), FIVE ferrets and a cat named Like. Oh, and did we mention that there’s now a service puppy in training in da house? That’d be Chuck (a chocolate lab, who is just too cute).

Congratulations to Murphy’s mom from over at Murphy’s Law (a blog about a young Great Dane). She won my review copy of Canine Colors, that new dog matching system I blogged about last week. It’s an especially happy thing because this header photo is enough to improve even the WORST Monday.

Well, kids … by the time you read this, I’ll be winging my way cross country on my big adventure to BlogPaws. I’ll likely Tweet parts of the event. I may gripe on Facebook to my friends there, should travel snags arise. And, if I have time, I may even blog with updates. If not, you’ll have to wait for my return to our usual blogging schedule next week.

Some days, my brain buzzes with larger, more philosophical sides to dog training. In part, this happens because of items I see in dog world news such as this dog training summit. At some point soon, I may rant a bit on that very topic since I’m not shy about the fact that I’m no fan of “He Who Shall Not Be Named.” But, today, I wanted to share a distinction I think will help.

It’s official. I am now blogging for both fun and profit. OK, maybe not profit, profit, but for a client and for a fee. Each Wednesday, if you so choose, you can see my latest post on dog food and nutrition over at the newly launched Dog Food Dish Blog for K9Cuisine.com. There is a whole page in the sidebar that explains what’s what, but I wanted to post here as well.

Here is our new blog design for Champion of My Heart. Snazzy, yes? It took more work than you would imagine. Seriously … 14 tries until I got the new header image to work, including getting the ropes to line up (or close enough). And, that’s just one of oodles of customizations I made in the php and css on the code side of the blog. I still have much work, and many glitches remain from the change over in design, platform, and hosting switch, but I’ll get there — eventually.
