Woof Report's 2009 Best Tips to Help Homeless Pets

One of my favorite dog sites, Woof Report, just pulled together a list of their top tips from 2009 for helping homeless pets and animal shelters. If you're looking for a way to help the numerous pets who have been adversely affected due to the economy, this list can get you started. Ideas include links "Web Search & Rescue," "Fostering A Friend," Help A Shelter" and more. Ellen

New Dog Breed Silhouettes

Over the weekend, I got busy and created a batch of new dog silhouettes for Best Friends Studios. New breeds for our personalized stationery items include the Belgian Tervuren, Long Haired Dachshund, Wire Haired Dachshund, Irish Water Spaniel, Japanese Chin, Miniature Pinscher, Norfolk Terrier, Saint Bernard, Schipperke and Whippet. I also added a second Chihuahua silhouette to the mix, which now totals out at more than 80 different silhouettes! I'll have time to do one more batch of requests before the holiday rush hits so if you need a breed that isn't on our list, shoot me an email at ellen@bestfriendsstudios.com. Ellen
