Give Back When You Give Your Dog the Boot
Strong chompers take note: this toy's a sturdy option that will not only live up to powerful teeth, but also give back with each bite. You see, Vibram, the leading provider of military footwear for the most conditions on earth has teamed up with FetchDog to create a nontoxic rubber shape from the same molds used to make the soles of military boots and added a mountaineering rope for toss and tug times, too. Two bucks of every Chewy Shoe purchase goes towards the DogTags program at Puppies Behind Bars.
Glenn Close Honors Puppies Behind Bars and Dog Tags
Glenn Close hosted an event last night to honor pups that have served in combat, and with returning veterans, for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The benefit celebrated the brave men and women (and dogs!) and raised awareness for the organization that makes it all possible, Puppies Behind Bars.
The prison-based nonprofit trains dogs to be explosive detection canines and service dogs for the disabled with their newest initiative, titled “Dog Tags: Service Dogs For Those Who’ve Served Us”, offering these inmate-trained canines to help soldiers readjust to civilian life.
Miranda Has Frankie and Orlando to Help Her Win Votes
Miranda Kerr and her puppy Frankie landed at LAX on Saturday and then ran a few errands with a friend on Sunday. Yesterday she joined Orlando Bloom at Bar Marmont as the couple reunited after his house was burglarized last week.

The Scoop: Dog Tags Program Matches Pups With Veterans
In honor of Memorial Day, I wanted to share information about this heartwarming program with you! To assist the veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Puppies Behind Bars has launched the Dog Tags plan to match disabled soldiers with specially trained Labrador Retrievers or Golden Retrievers to assist them in their daily lives, performing tasks ranging from opening the door to helping to pick up dropped items. These dogs not only are new life companions for the veterans, but the fully-trained service dogs would run each person around $30,000 if left to pay for it on their own.Come Story Telling with me!!!

Your Clever Uses Revealed!
Last week I asked you to rework these cast-iron greyhound andirons so they served a different decorating or practical function in your home. Andirons are horizontal iron bars upon which logs are laid for burning in an open fireplace. However, I wanted to know how you could see these employed in an alternate use in your home.
