The Web






August 6. And on this day in 1991, a guy by the name of Tim Berners-Lee announced his idea for something called the World Wide Web. Kind of a clever idea...

Today the Web is an incredible source of information.  It’s kind of like having a library, a bank, a shopping mall, a movie theatre, a doctor’s office, a sports stadium and a news source at your finger tips.  All the time.  It’s like an ever changing and growing encyclopedia of the world.  And of course, a huge communication tool. 

Want to figure out why your dog is shaking his head?  Go to a reputable vet site on the Web and you can probably get an idea about what the problem is.  That is NOT to say you should play veterinarian- but at 2AM it might make you feel better until you can get in to see your vet.  It’s a relief to know your dog’s ears won’t fall off.

Want to find out how to tackle some canine behavioral issue.? Again there are lots of good sites on the Web.  I support those that use treats.  Lots of treats.

Want to know where you can buy the latest instruments of torture aka grooming supplies?  Check out the Web.  In fact you can shop for any dog related items in the Web.  And here’s a cool site that reviews products: 

For people trying to adopt a rescue, there are plenty of good sites. You also have dog clubs, breed clubs and dog charities. 

Where would we be without this thing called the Web?  Your probably wouldn’t be reading a blog by a PON in Nova Scotia!  Thanks Tim BL for a pretty darn good idea.  Wish I would have thought of it.  Mind you, I’m not a computer engineer...

Today our company arrives.  Thank goodness- the cleaning frenzy is over.  Now.  We just need to train our guest about how much we like treats.  It is going to be a busy week.

Have a good one. Peace and paws up.
