February 15, 2017 by Stefanie Girard

Lots of us like to make our own inspirational signs. Why not make some functional ones as well? Check out this great collection of funny and clever beware of dog signs at Bark Post Stories most of which are made on scrap wood. I bet these signs would be fun to use as inspiration to make and give as gifts to new dog owners.

Owning a dog can be very expensive and not only does making your own dog beds, coats and toys seem like fun, it is also a great way to save money on pet supplies too.  One of our puppy’s favorite homemade dog toy is a soda bottle ½ filled with rice. It is noisy, it flips and spins and has a spout for him to grab.
