Pet Adoption

• Pet adoption is always the best option. That's a good rule to live by. Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats surrendered to and born into shelters across the country. It's always better to adopt a pet than to go to a breeder because you are saving a valuable little life. Plus, most shelters will provide the spay/neuter service for free (or built into the nominal adoption fee) so you don't contribute to the pet overpopulation problem!

  Whether you're looking for a dog or a cat, a mixed breed or a purebred animal, you can find an adoptable one anywhere at anytime. A good resource for pet adoption is PetFinder.com. You can look up local shelters and animals by breed, age, size, gender and more there. Also try the Humane Society of the United States. They have thousands of shelters across the country, usually one for every three counties in a state.

Pet Photo Projects

• So whether you've just adopted a new pet or you've had your best friend by your side for years, the other thing you don't want to have too far away from you is your camera. After all, pet photos aren't just for frames anymore. You can use them to make all kinds of household and office items.

  Start taking the digital camera with you on walks, outside in the yard, when you're playing, or where ever else you and your fuzzy friends go because you never know when you might run into a perfect "photo opp." Start snapping shots left and right because there's a wealth of fun stuff to do with your favorite pet pictures online.

  What better gift to give yourself or a fellow pet lover than a big old photo tribute to your/their best four-legged friend? There are tons of pet photo projects to make online and they all make excellent gifts and are "paw-esome" fun.

  One idea is to create a photo mug. Get the perfect "mug shot" of your fur-baby and upload it at PhotoWorks.com. They will create a custom photo mug for you!

  Another cool pet photo project is the photo mouse pad. You can make a collage of your favorite pet photos, upload them, and they will send you the finished product!

  Other cool pet photo projects are the photo playing cards, the photo puzzle, which lets you piece together a Jigsaw puzzle of your furry friend for endless fun, the photo messenger bag, which allows you to make your own collage of photos (a great personal laptop carrier), and the photo coasters.

Pet Quotes and Sayings

• Ben Williams once said, "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." How true is that? When you are greeted by a wagging tail, squirming body, warmed heart and happy puppy (or dog) face, you can't help but to forget your trifling worries.
