Ollie takes great pleasure in peeing on every tree he passes, so the least we can do is make his blog carbon neutral by planting a tree in his name, right?
According to a study by Alexander Wissner-Gross, PhD, physicist at Harvard University and environmental activist, an average website causes about 0.02g (0,0008oz.) of carbon dioxide for each visit. Assuming an average blog gets 15,000 visits a month, it has yearly carbon dioxide emissions of 3,6kg (8lb.). This can mainly be tracked back to the immense energy usage from (mainframe) computers, servers, and their cooling systems.
The Arbor Day Foundation, in conjunction with the German company kaufDA, is planting tress in Plumas National Forest in Northern California to replace those destroyed by forest fires. For every blog that posts about the initiatives and displays the badge in their sidebar, one tree will be planted.

When I first got Ollie, he traveled with me every weekend from Indianapolis to Chicago to visit family. It didn’t take him long to learn to stay in the passengers seat and sleep or chew a bone while I drove. Now, Ollie loves to ride in the car and we frequently bring him along on errands and short road trips. He’s a great traveler and never interferes with our driving, but some pet owners aren’t so lucky!
Jeff Probst, host of Survivor, and his dog Cooper, has joined with Purina to teach pet owners how they can do more for pets in a series of short videos. One of their first videos includes tips on taking car trips with your pet.
Take a minute to watch…Great tips that make for safe travels with your dog!
Ollie is one of People Pets cutest pets of the week!

I love when Natalie Dee makes weiner dog jokes.
It was a tad windy on our walk.
But we persevered.

After traveling 1,200 miles from Chicago to Austin, it’s clear that Ollie is a born traveler. He slept, he chewed bones, he stretched his legs at rest stops, and he even stayed overnight in a hotel.
That’s a major accomplishment for a feisty little weiner dog that barks at everything that goes bump in the night and significantly increases his odds of coming with on our next vacation!
Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing in Branson, Missouri, is a fabulous pet-friendly hotel that is situation close to the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and the bright lights of the Branson strip which boasts museums, theme parks, and 49 live entertainment theaters -I still remember seeing an Elvis impersonator in Branson as a kid!
If you prefer to relax and stay close to your hotel – shopping, dining, spa treatments, and golfing are just a few of the amenities the Hilton has to offer. And both hotels have amazing weekend getaway packages at unbelievable prices – the romance package includes sparking wine and breakfast in bed!
Think they’d send few extra pieces of bacon up for Ollie?
Denise Richards dad, Irv, and rescue dachshund, Moby.
I am a fan of Denise Richards – and now I love her even more since she adopted a dachshund!
Moby is a 3-year-old black and tan piebald rescue that joins Rose, Lulu, Sara, Hank, Tina, George, and Lucy in the Richards household. Denise told PEOPLEPets.com that “he’s part of the family already.”
Yeah for celebrity dachshunds!
