Source of Inspiration

The font style in my blog was inspired by a few things. To start I enjoy different fun fonts I think it makes things look more interesting. I am inspired the a website, DaFont.com. This site includes a multitude of different fonts all categorized byt style, theme, and popularity. Many of them are free for personal use and download. I was specifically inspired by the handwritten text category on the site. I think it has a fun and upbeat look to it which I think is a good fit for a blog about dogs.

Dog Matchup

Ever wonder what breed is right for you? Well now you can find out by taking a quiz. Matchup will recommend specific breeds depending on how you answer questions. It also makes you think about life with a new pet. I am a firm believer in connecting with a dog before you adopt them so th best thing to do is a go to a shelter play with different dogs individually and then make your decision based off of what you felt.
