This week we’re starting a new weekly feature here on DogTipper: Social Saturday. Throughout every week, we share some of our favorite finds across the web–items from dog news to dog freebies to articles we enjoyed–with our Facebook and Twitter friends. Just in case you missed any, we’ll repeat our faves here each Saturday. (And if you’re not already following us, be sure to find us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/dogtipper or on Twitter at http://twitter.com/DogTipper. Grace Sydney, who writes our Hollywood Dogs column, is on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HollywoodDogs.)
