Got a dog?
There's an app for that!
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-dog/id402402508?mt=8

Need a dog groomer? Looking for a trainer or nearby park? A new iPhone application provides canine information and also functions as a dog's ID and medical and insurance cards.

The "My Dog" app allows dog owners to create and share a personalized profile of their dogs, similar to Facebook, according to its creator.

Holger Laufenberg, the California-based designer of the app, said the idea for it came after his terrier mix, Dax, went missing.

"A panic struck me, and I started calling all the vets, all the shelters. Over and over again, I was asked the same questions about the kind of dog, its medications, that sort of thing," said Laufenberg.

"I thought it was crazy, and that there must be some better way to do this," the 49 year-old former ad executive added.

The profile includes a picture, description, information about the dog's owner and emergency contact information, as well as details on vaccinations and medical history.

The data about the dog can be emailed or uploaded to a user's Facebook or Twitter account.

"We wanted to create something that allows any dog owner to have all the information needed at their fingertips at all times," Laufenberg said. "We all run around with our smart phones, which allow us to communicate, and we have to take advantage of it."

The app can also serve as a dog-travel guide with listings of services such as dog-friendly hotels and parks, the pet rules of U.S.-based airlines and rail services.

"I live in California, but my dogs go where I go. Sometimes I need to find day care centers to put them, or need a sitter or to show vaccination records. Now I have all that with me," he said.

A directory of dog services, which contains around 38,000 listings, such as trainers, pet photographers, funerary services, or rescue services can be searched by area code.

Currently, the directory has listings in 220 metropolitan areas across 50 states. The app's travel functions are more focused on larger metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or New York.

dcfaithful · March 2011

Yeah, we got pounded last night with snow. Nothing like digging your car out of that fresh powder before work. Zeke was loving his walk this morning though.

Enkidu · March 2011

Brian would freak out in the snow.

And he still thinks he's a lap dog.

Sorry I've been MIA. Since Petey's latest bad news, his time is limited, the arrhythmia he is suffering is so severe he will most likely go suddenly. I'm trying my best to spend all my free time with him. He is still feeling good and having a great time.

Handsome Petey looks so noble.
Hang in there, I know it must be devastating.

Just lost my boxer Hammond on Saturday to a 6 month battle with cancer. He was a rescue dog we got in 2006. We think he was about 2 when we got him so he would be about 7.
One of the sweetest, doofiest dogs I have ever had. May he rest in peace.

That's him on the right, and his sister Hallie on the left. She is also a rescue, and is some sort of Basenji, pit bull mix, but we don't have it narrowed down.

BhagavadGita · March 2011

Someone shared this poem to help deal with the feelings that come when our pets get sick and pass on. I thought I might share it with those on the board that are losing or have lost a pet. Which is just about everyone.

The Rainbow Bridge

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

That's really tough

. A lot of us have been through this, so we know what you're going through. Good for you for giving these two rescues a good, loving home :thumbup: . Hang in there...the pain will subside but it will take a long time

So very sorry. Many of us here have been through this and know how hard it is. Like imalive said, the pain lasts a long time but in this thread you will find many friends.

Hammond looks like a real sweetheart. RIP.
