The Internet has become super HI way of information about everything under the sun. Filtering through all the different avenues of information and finding something really worthwhile can be an exhausting ride.

I have been exploring online this week and during my travels though the hundreds of pet related sites I have come across some really interesting links.

I will share with you my favourites over time in a series of short lists. Here is a list to start with. Some of these links are packed full of useful information for pet owners. Others are just for fun and maybe even a laugh or two. Either way I hope you enjoy them and are able to use them down the road with your pets.
