- 5K Dog-friendly Race - Get fit and have fun with your dog at the same time. Just Google "5K races" for a list of races happening near you.
- Custom Paint-by-Number kits - Just upload a photo of you and your dog and send it to easy123art.com
- Get Some Culture - the AKC Museum of the Dog in St. Louis, MO houses over 700 works of art throughout the ages.
- Vacation at Carmel-By-the-Sea - Take your pup for a pampering vacation at this California dream destination for dogs, boasting dog-friendly inns, restaurants, and even an iconic "Fountain of Woof", a dogs-only drinking fountain.

- July is Dog House Repairs Month - Use this time to catch up on that doghouse maintenance you've been putting off. Renovate Fido's second story, add another room in the back, or simply repair any winter damage.
- Summer School! - Brush up on training and gain insight into how your own behavior cues your dog's - read Patricia McConnell's classic training book The Other End of the Leash.

- Start a Blog - Chronicle all the summer fun you and your dog are having. Just pick a catchy name and start posting. Two free sites to try are worpress.com and blogspot.com.
- Volunteer! - Get out into the community with your dog to do your part. From training Fluffy as a therapy dog, signing up Rex to participate in a reading program for kids, creating a fundraising block party for your local shelter or simply offering to walk your elderly neighbor's dog - the possibilities are endless!
