Sniff Around These Sites, Part V

This week’s round-up of important/useful/interesting/fun pet links:

• Paw Luxury and BISSELL are teaming up to give away TWO Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Vacuums! Details for this giveaway can be found here. Contest Thursday, December 25th at midnight.
• Scratchings-and-Sniffings has a great round-up of pet community sites.
• Central Texas Dachshund Rescue is selling adorable 2009 calendars featuring some of their rescue Dachshunds, with all proceeds benefiting their cause. You have a chance to win one here – hurry, though; contest ends Friday, December 19th at midnight. Contest has ended!
• Love music? Love animals? Get a Wayside Waifs Holiday Charity CD to benefit Wayside Waifs, Kansas City’s largest and oldest humane society.
• I just love pet how-we-met stories… like this one by Colleen about how she ended up with her “lap puppy” Harley!
• Wishing that a) the weather was warm enough to bring my dogs to the beach, and 2) we had a designated no-leash beach like San Diego’s Dog Beach. Look at all the fun these doggies are having there!
• A hearty congrats to 3 Garzas & La Gringa for welcoming Boda into their family!
• I wish there didn’t ever have to be any sad pet posts. My heart is heavy for Maggie at Okay, Fine, Dammit, who recently had to say goodbye to her kitty after 13 1/2 years together.
