Even dogs hate the war

November 15, 2009

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Halloween Costumes for Pets

October 31, 2009

Check out the Today show’s viewers’ pets all dressed up & ready to go trick-r-treating.

They also had a segment on this morning’s show of professionally done dogs – my favorite was the princess from Shrek.  I can’t find these photos online yet, but they may be up on Today’s site by the time you read this.  While you’re there, see if they have the segment where Lester Holt dressed up as Susan Boyle – it’s hysterical!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Is your dog a rebel without a cause? (Or even with one?)

October 8, 2009

A new product from Pet Science Labs allows you and your dog to make a statement! Using non-toxic paints in a variety of colors, you simply apply the paint to the soft foam rubber stamp and press it against your dog’s coat. When it starts to fade, or if your dog needs to go to a job interview, simply wipe off the paint with a wet paper towel. Be sure to use light-colored paint on dark-colored dogs, and vice versa.

Please note: this is not a permanent tattoo you can use to ID your dog in the event of theft. This is simply a fun way to allow your dog to express himself at the dog park.

Available stamps include “Say it to the Paw” and “Drama Queen” (perfect for my Beagle). If you’re dog’s a bit on the wild side, you might like “Devil Dog” or “Bad Ass”. How about “Will Work for Food” (shaped like a chicken wing) or “I [heart] New York”? And if you have a breed that is in danger of being banned in your municipality, you may like “Punish the Deed, Not the Breed”.

Each stamp currently sells for $6 and comes with a 3-color paint pot and paint brush. They will also custom-make a stamp for you, if your dog has something unique to say for a special event. Sounds like fun! If you’ve tried them, let us know what you think.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Check out this dog’s tricks!

October 5, 2009

When you go to this site, you will see a dog looking at you. Underneath the dog is a box, where you can type commands for the dog, and he will do tricks for you! Type in some of the common ones like sit, down, etc. Then try a nonsense word like “zoiwher” and see what happens. When you’re done playing, type “kiss” to get your reward!

(OK, yes, this is technicallyan ad, but you don’t have to click on the ad to enjoy the puppy doing cool tricks.)

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Have you ever seen an orangutan walking a dog?

October 1, 2009

orangutanThere’s a YouTube video posted from National Geographic here.  It’s so tender!  Seems this orangutan met a hound dog while out on a walk, and they fell absolutely in love.  (Get your mind out of the gutter – it’s sweet!)

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
