The inside scoop at Modern Dog's headquarters!

Behind the Scenes Craziness!

It's a beautiful, sunny day in Vancouver! I'm not sure whether we ought to be embarrassed at our lack of snow, or smug about how gorgeous it is here. Cherry trees, sunlight, Olympic venues opening up all over the place... But even more exciting?

We're proofing our Spring Issue! Everything is, of course, going swimmingly well (haha), and it looks great! We're all super excited about this one, and we're sure you will be too.

An important note! If you live in the New York area and want to attend next week's SkyBark shindig, make sure to check out Connie's blog at www.moderndogmagazine.com for more details!

Vancouver buzzes with Olympic fever...

The Winter Olympics are almost here! Our hometown Vancouver has undergone a pretty big facelift for this event and we are hoping it's going to be as much as it has been a pain in the neck! It's time to start showing your team spirit! We found these cute Vancouver hoodies at Barking Babies that are our Fav Find of the week. Check 'em out at: http://www.moderndogmagazine.com/favefind

Making way for 2010...

MD's Top Dog shares her New Year's Resolution:

"Happy New Year!
December 31, 2009
As 2009 comes to a close and the New Year ready to dawn, it's customary to reflect on the year's experiences- both the good and the bad - and then make some resolutions for the upcoming year. Having recently read a book on applying the practices of Feng Shui (pronounced Fung-shway), to increase abundance in one's life, I decided that my first resolution would be putting some of the principles outlined in that book into practice (if you'd like to read Wikipedia's definition of Feng Shui click here). As many a busy person can testify it's very easy to accumulate stuff that you intend to deal with later and after a while, you don't even see it. Upon standing back and looking at the stacks of papers, boxes and "stuff" piled up in my office I realized that my build-up of clutter was breaking one of the most basic laws of Feng Shui (clutter blocks the flow of auspicious energy and in basic terms, if energy gets stuck, nothing new can come in). Soooo, I've been very busy today, getting rid of junk, sorting through piles of paper, recycling and generally clearing and beautifying my work space. As a result, I feel more organized and ready to dig into some new projects next week. I'm also going to de-clutter my house... it's actually quite fun once you get started.
Have fun deciding on your own resolutions for 2010 and on behalf of all of us at Modern Dog I wish you good health, happiness, love and the fulfillment of all your goals.
