Pet Photographry; Makes An Excellent Gift

Were you at a loss this holiday searching for that special gift? What do you get those that have everything already? I think I found something that's fun, unique and special because it includes are furry friends, even highlights them in many ways and if your family loves animals like my family does, they will cherrish a special gift that includes Fido, or Lilly. I have come across what I think is one of the best pet photographers I have ever seen. Plan ahead and schedule a session this summer at a special location, 8 X 10's will be a perfect gift for the grandparents and others while a large portrail will look perfect on your own fireplace mantel. No time like the present to plan ahead. http://baileyandbanjo.com/

Sedona Dog Park

The park is located at the corner of Soldier's Pass Road and Carruth Drive, 950 Soldiers Pass Road. Thanks to the generocity of the residents of the city of Sedona for raising sufficient funds to build the park. Hundreds of donations by residents and two large donations by anonymous donors made this beautiful facility possible.

Construction of the park was finished in 2007, and Sedona Dog Park Inc operated the park until July 2010 when the park was handed back to the City of Sedona for ease of operation and maintainenance. Thank you Sedona. This is Lilly's first experience with a dog park and Lilly gives it a four paw rating. The dog park provides exceptional views, a friendly atmoshere and covered seating. An upper tier provides a more natural setting with trails that wind around native vegetation. A bench has been installed at the top of the "natural section" for you to sit and enjoy the spectacular views worthy of a photograph. Make sure to put the Sedona Dog Park on your itinerary when visiting Sedona, Lilly's anxious to meet you.

Goodwill; Great Source For Dog Toys

Did you see a cute dog toy at your favorite pet store, turn over the price tag and then put it back? Are you looking for discounted dog toys rather than paying full price? Lilly has two favorite places that she gives a four paw rating: 1. Marshalls now has a fair amount of pet supplies and usually has pet toys for $2.99 - $3.99 and 2. Goodwill is the best place for a stuffed animal at a discounted price. Quite often you can find a great selection of small stuffed animals between $.50 - $.99. Now the stuffed animals at Goodwill were never designed to be dog toys so the down side is that there is no "squeeky" but Lilly doesn't seem to mind either way. Lilly gives the Goodwill a four paw rating for price and repurposing. Note: When buying from Goodwill - purchase stuffed animals that are stuffed with appropriate stuffing matter knowing that you are using it as a dog toy. I picked up a couple cute small animals that felt as if they were stuffed with a pellet type stuffing that an animal might be able to ingest should the toy become pulled apart and the insides spill out.
