ALL our blogs feature this warning today!
You know how vulnerable your pets are when they come into contact with traffic - now please let me point you to a website which will make you think of the other animals who are in danger from the increasing amount of traffic on the roads.
The website I am going to point you towards is based in America, but the thought behind the email which I received from them applies equally to many, many countries.
Hop over to the Defenders Organization to check their 'Watch Out for Wildlife' posting. Large animals can be seriously injured or killed so please take care and slow down where signs are posted warning of animals.
Even if you don't care about the animals... your car, and maybe you, won't come off scot free!
In the UK there are a growing number of accidents involving deer, and they can be quite serious to the car, the occupants, and the poor deer who often appear from nowhere and dash out in front of anything.
Also please spare a thought for the hedgehogs during the spring, summer, and early autumn - and now there are increasing numbers of otters being killed on our roads.
If the only male in an area, or the only female for that matter, is killed the area will be without a breeding pair... please take care.

Flyball clips, plus the RSPB
'Doggy Blog Clips' has been updated with loads of interesting clips. One from DogGoneFast is all about Flyball in the US, it has loads of information plus many interesting photos. All Flyball Dogs readers in America would find it of particular interest, though the photos and stories would appeal to most dog lovers. The blog itself tells of Flyball adventures in many different parts of the US.
Check it out through 'Doggy Blog Clips' now... just click on the link in our left-hand margin to visit the clips.
For UK visitors, here is a link to the RSPB waebsite. An interest in all nature often goes with dog ownership, after all you have to walk your dog somewhere - and there is bound to be some 'nature' in the vicinity.
There are loads of interesting birds both in city centres and parks as well as towns and the countryside - and the more you learn, the more interested you will be!

Season Change
Throughout the world this is a time of 'season change'... and for many flyball clubs it will also mean a time of venue change. It could also mean more or less flyball on offer.
Dependent upon hemisphere, you will be gearing up for your outdoor season, or changing to work only indoors. Check out with local clubs to see what is on offer... if you are new to flyball, or just thinking of finding out about it, now is a good time to check.
In previous blog posts way back in our Archives you will find details of useful organizations who can point newbies in the correct direction. Incidentally you'll find a list of archives in our left-hand margin and the list of organizations will be found in the February 2007 archives.
