Sam Misses Teddy: Dog Attends Funeral

I’ve been spending a couple of days in the hammock beneath my pine trees over the lake…but I stumbled across this in my quick check online:

You might have heard about the dachshund who, after his owner died, made his way to the funeral home in time for the burial service. View the video about Sam the dog who made the trek to his owner’s funeral or read the story about Sam the dachshund and Teddy Crockarell.

Gives new meaning to the term, loyal dog. I’ll be back to work tomorrow!

Social Media: RSSHugger

Collin LaHay began a service called RSSHugger with a specific goal in mind–a goal that has changed. LaHay is an entrepreneur, search engine optimizer, and internet marketer who was looking to expand his portfolio.

His original goal was to get 50,000 blogs signed up with fee, but he decided a better strategy was to change the goal and attempt to sign up 250,000 free blogs within the first year of operation.

So far so good–RSSHugger claims that over 112 million registered blogs and another 175,000 new ones per day, the goal of signing up 250,000 may be reachable.

Viewers vote blogs to the top 100 by voting. In addition, you can view a random blog, or drop in to see new blogs. If you have time to read different blogs you can visit the new RSS Feeds.

Overall the idea is good but I found unrelated topics under “Pets” so use filters if you peruse the site. Too bad people abuse a good thing.

If you have a blog and want to add it, just visit and write a short review or you can purchase a link instead. Either way will get you listed. I am still too new to give you a verdict super pro or super con but check it out and let me know what you think. To vote for Ark Animals click now and then let me know what you think.
