The differences between dogs and cats are nicely summed up in these diary excerpts:

Shiba Inu Puppy Watch
November 18, 2008
Have you seen this yet? Apparently, it is being streamed into thousands of homes daily. What a great marketing tool for all of you breeders out there. This puppy cam simply shows a litter of Shiba Inus as they go about their day. Too cute!

Enjoy!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Traveling overseas with your dog
November 16, 2008
Planning a vacation overseas? Should you take your dog with you? The best way to decide is to check with the embassies of the countries to which you will be going. Each country has its own restrictions and requirements regarding pets being brought inside their borders.
Saturday Survey: Your Dog’s Favorite Toy
November 15, 2008
Hard to believe it’s already Saturday again! This week’s topic: what does your dog like best to play with?
Canine Cancer
November 14, 2008
Did you know that cancer kills one in every four dogs over the age of 2? If you’ve never had to live through watching your beloved animal being eaten up from the inside, let me assure you, you don’t want to. We finally had to put our fox hound (pictured above) down several years ago after the chemo failed.Â
Anyways, Fox 42 in Omaha recently aired a segment about this very topic. Click here, then do a site search (at the top right) for canine cancer. The video clip should be the first thing on the list that returns. The second thing is a link to the Morris Animal Foundation, which is trying to raise $30 million to find a cure for cancer.
Sorry to end the week on a down note.
Good day, and good dog.
Never, never, never give your dog an electric blanket!
November 13, 2008
BAKERSFIELD, CA — “Bubba” the chihuahua is lucky to be alive after chewing through the power cord on his electric blanket. Bubba’s owners Della and Nick Hendricks sprang into action when Bubba chewed through the cord and received the shock of his life Wednesday morning. The shock left Bubba unconscious and not breathing. Nick and Della quickly gave Bubba chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth and were able to revive him. They then rushed him to a nearby animal hospital. Bubba suffered minor burns, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Good day, and good dog!
The Obama’s Dog
November 13, 2008
OK, the economy is tanking and we have two wars going on, but it seems everyone is more interested in which dog the Obamas will take to the White House. The news today includes an article from allergists, asserting that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.  And, different breeders are offering potential dogs to the First Family-elect.
Doggie Doctors

Have you ever noticed how your dog seems to be able to sense when you are down or not feeling well? They usually want to cuddle with you and take care of you. There was a story that circulated on the Internet recently about a woman who had cancer. When she lay down to take a nap, she awoke to find herself covered in dog toys, the precious treasures her dog had brought from his toybox in the basement. How do they do it? Recent research is pointing to their awesome sense of smell.
