 I have done it. My tattoo is of the dog's name and a paw print. I also have another tattoo of my favorite dog breed- American Pit Bull Terrier. Check out these tattoos that other people have of their dogs and of things that remind them of their dog. There are different ways to grieve, and getting a tattoo is one of them.   
 
  
 
 Choosing Bridesmaid DressesFebruary 9th 2010 17:22
 Be nice about this. Please don't make your bridesmaids where neon pink dresses that have bright purple bows tied behind their back. It's not flattering the them, and it's not flattering to you or your wedding if you do that. When choosing bridesmaid dresses, you want to make sure that you keep each person's body type in mind. You want to try to find something that flatters each woman. That said, you don't have to have each bridesmaid in the same dress; just try to stick with the same color and around-about the same length, and you'll be good to go. When you are looking for dresses, ask your wedding party for their advice. What do they want to wear? That will help prevent choosing ugly bridesmaid dresses, and it will potentially prevent losing your friends over a silly dress. You want the dresses to match the theme of your wedding, whether you're having a formal wedding, informal, or a true themed wedding. Also, make sure that your bridesmaid dresses provide some contrast to your own, but you still want them to be a similar style and theme. You don't want to be in an elegant gown, and have your bridesmaids in paper sacks. Coordinate your bridesmaid dresses with the colors of your wedding. You don't want them to blend in, but have them match. If you're colors are white, black, and green, consider having the dresses some shade of green. If you're wedding colors are white and purple, consider a pastel purple color. Also, consider the length of the dress. If you're having a formal wedding, you want everyone in long, floor length dresses. If it's going to be more of an informal or an outdoor wedding, consider knee length dresses, instead. Make sure that the dresses are comfortable. Remember they will be standing, walking, and probably dancing in their dresses (unless they change before the reception). You'll want to make sure that your bridesmaids can more around, which is why it's always a plus to have them go to the bridal stores with you so that they can try on the dresses and give you their opinion. You don't have to consider their opinion, but they'd appreciate it if you did. Don't forget weather, especially if you're having an outdoor wedding. You don't want your bridesmaids to freeze wearing sleeveless gowns out in the 40F degree weather. You may not want long sleeve dresses in your wedding, but keep the health of your wedding party in mind. Lastly, shop for price. Not all prices will be the same, and there are plenty of options that you can choose from. Check out local boutiques, large bridal stores, wedding expos, specialty stores, online stores, and fashion magazines. Consider layaway when purchasing the dresses; it's convenient and definitely easier on the budget.  
Caring for a Greek TortoiseFebruary 5th 2010 20:59
Greek tortoises are another small tortoise species that are pretty popular pets. They come in a few general colors, that are dependent on their location. For the most part though, you'll find the Golden Greek tortoise and the Iberia Greek tortoise. Both are are shades of mustard yellow, but the Iberia Greek is generally going to have much more brown coloring on the scutes, whereas the Golden is a more solid gold-mustard color.
Greek tortoises average about 6" to 10" in length as an adult. When housing a Greek tortoise, you'll want to stick with a bare minimum of a 50 gallon rubbermaid storage tote, which is about 4'L x 2'W and about a foot and a half tall. It is ideal to have an outdoor enclosure for the tortoise when the weather permits, but during bad weather, an indoor enclosure will suffice. You want to use a 50/50 ratio of dirt and sand substrate. The temperature should be about 90 to 95F at the basking site during the day. You can provide this by using a ceramic heat emitter, but you should also use a UV emitting bulb. You can use the UV tubes, but you'll be spending more money replacing them every 4 to 6 months. The bulbs are heat emitting and UV emitting, which is by far optimal; they're a little more expensive from the beginning, but they last a good bit longer, saving you money in the end. When feeding the tortoise, you want to offer a high fiber diet with plenty of calcium. You can offer calcium in the shape of a cuttle bone that allows the tortoise to much on it as he needs the calcium. This is actually better than sprinkling calcium powder on the greens because you can actually overdose the tortoise on calcium. When feeding the tortoise, you want to provide a varied diet of leafy greens, grasses, and weeds. Greek tortoises are grazing tortoises, and do really well when they can eat grasses and weeds. It's a good idea to use the bag of Spring Mix that you can get from the grocery store, but I would recommend varying the diet as different greens become available. Be careful of feeding too much kale and spinach though. Also avoid iceburg lettuce. Try to include romaine lettuce, endive, radachio, red lettuce, and collards on occasion. You can also offer dandelions, clover, various grasses, and weeds. Do not offer fruits or any other vegetables, like squash and carrots. This species does best when fed leafy greens and grasses. You can supplement the food with TNT from carolinapetsupply.com, as this is a ground mix of fresh grasses and weeds. It won't be like the real stuff, but it's a good start to use every few feedings so that your tortoise can get the nutrients that it needs from the grasses that it may not get regularly. If you want, you may consider growing a small grass and weed garden that you can pull from as needed. Try some of the following seeds. 
Picking out a Wedding DressFebruary 5th 2010 17:20
 There are many dresses to choose from and many designers making different styles. You don't always have to go with the most expensive one. You will find that there are really nice dresses available for $500, you just have to find the right store that's having the sell. Just remember that you want to price different stores before you make your final decision. Check out wedding expos and larger dress stores, sometimes you'll find better deals than at the smaller boutiques

Horsfield Tortoise CareFebruary 1st 2010 16:43
Horsfield Tortoises are more commonly known as Russian Tortoises. I personally have two of these buggers and love them to death! If I had the space, I wouldn't mind a few more.
Russian Tortoises are one of the smaller species of pet tortoises, which makes them more popular as pets. But, just because they're a little smaller, ranging from about 6" to 10" as an adult length, that doesn't mean that they can live happily and healthily in a small aquarium

Agility Jumps and Hurdles for Big DogsJanuary 27th 2010 20:39
When it comes to watching small or medium-large dogs in an agility competition, I'd much rather watch the larger dogs. The larger dogs seem to have more of a challenge with the jumps and hurdles because they are set pretty high, of course all adjusted to the height of the dog.
The main hurdles that you'll find include the single bar jump, double bar, triple bar, and the panel jump. These can be purchased for practice at home. But, you'll also find water hurdles in the ground and other hurdles that the dog may have to jump over; but you can't really purchase a hole in the ground filled with water

We will find out Thursday about Apple's new product. Most people are thinking that they're going to finally release their iPad, Apple tablet. It reality, no one really knows what Apple will be releasing, but the odds are in favor to the Apple tablet finally being released.
The rumors of the tablet have been circling since 2002, which is a good long while for technology, especially since there are so many other tablets available
