More randomness.  🙂

The search for the bumper sticker for my shameless blog promotion has ended.  Last week Misty Shores Chesapeakes recommended this place.  Thank you Misty Shores.  They have some very cool stickers and other cool things, but did not have exactly what I was looking for.  Finally I stumbled upon this place.  They offer all kinds of stickers that you can personalize.  The prices are fair, you can buy just one personalized sticker, and they offer free shipping.

I bought two stickers which are already on the trailer.  I had limited space to take this picture which is why it is a bit dark and crooked.  🙂

The sticker to the left was my husband’s idea.  After last week’s test while we were driving home on the freeway and through construction, this guy pulled up beside us and asked if it was a camper, (pointing to the trailer).  I was taken by surprise and said “no”.  Then he pulled back up and asked, “what is it?”.  Maybe the sticker will discourage freeway conversations. 😉

Over on Jodi Stone’s new blog Heart Like A Dog, I recommended a product that we always have on hand should our dogs suffer an injury.  We have used EMT Gel on bug bites, pad injuries, hot spots, cuts, you name it.  It is a great product and seems to soothe itching and discourage licking.  The gel dries hard and helps to protect the wound.  It is a must have in our first aid kit.  With cooler weather and more active dogs, I though I would also mention it here too.

I saw on Facebook that in January 2013 the AKC is changing the Canine Good Citizenship designation from an award to a title.  A title is nice because it will appear in the dog’s title record with the AKC and can be listed on a pedigree.  There will be a procedure to change the award to a title for dogs who have earned their CGC since 2001.  Some information here.

Finally, Finn asked if I minded questions.  Absolutely not!  I really appreciate them.  Thank you!  Sometimes when I am writing hunt test posts, I am not sure how much detail is too much detail.  If you ever have questions, please ask.  🙂  Speaking of questions, I have again been lax replying to comments and there are some questions I did not get back to, so tomorrow…Follow-Up Friday.

  1. I love your new stickers! The one on the left was a great idea. It may also help keep cars back a bit on the road. Thanks for the name of that gel, I just wrote it down and hope I can get it here. It sounds like a “must” to have for the dogs. What a nice change to have the Canine Good Citizenship changed to a title. 🙂

  2. Love the new stickers! I agree with Bassetmoma that cars may give you more space if they know there are dogs in tow. Thanks so much for telling us about that gel, I’m going to look for it. Now that fall will be coming, Daisy will enjoy being outdoors a lot more and I know all those acorns and downed branches can cause problems for her little pads, so I’ll feel better having this on hand.

  3. LInda , Love your stickers. I too use the EMT gel and we love it. You can find it easliy at Gander Mountain, and Cabela’s and such. It’s a little pricey but it works great!!

  6. Those stickers are great! I think I MOM should get some of that gel stuff. It would be a good idea.
    Blessings,

  7. The new stickers are awesome! I bet you still get freeway conversations though because that is just how people are!

    Thanks for the EMT gel suggestion, hubby went out to Cabela’s and purchased a tube which I put on him last night. I was very impressed that it is completely natural with no known side effects. That my friend is a bonus in my book! I do hope it will stop him from licking. 🙂

    Thank you for the shoutout, I am now up to 9 whole subcribers, down 102. 🙁

    I think I might have to order myself a sticker or two.

  8. The new stickers look awesome! I bet you still get freeway conversations though….LOL because that is just how people are. 🙂

    Thanks for the EMT gel suggestions, Hubby went to Cabela’s yesterday and bought a tube, I was so impressed that it was all natural with no known side effects! I put it on him last night and will apply again tonight. Let’s hope it clears up.

    Thanks too for the shoutout, I need all the help I can get. I lost 102 subscribers when I transitioned the blog. 🙁

  9. The stickers are great. But I’m with the folks who think you’ll get even more questions. I’m thinking of the kinds of people who ask what kind of dog I have and when I reply, “Golden Retriever” start telling me long stories about their yellow lab. 🙂

  12. I’ll have to add the gel to my hunting kit, and I like your stickers. I’ve been going to ask, does your dog trailer have heating and air conditioning?

  13. The stickers are cool. My human is getting a car, just for me! Isn’t she nice. I bet we’ll never find an Entlebucher Mountain Dog sticker … I’ll have to visit this site, or run all over the car with muddy paws. *wag wag wag*

  14. I love the stickers! They look perfect on the trailer and hopefully no one will pull along side you and want to have a chat:)
    I like the idea of that gel, I’ll have to look up where I can find it!
