June 13, 2008

  Living right next to the main highway through town, my friend made quite a spectacle of herself whenever she mowed the lawn.  The reason people were so interested was that she had a rather large shadow!

Woofstock

June 7, 2008

Planning to be in the Toronto area this weekend?  Check out Woofstock, North America’s largest outdoor doggie festival.

Located throughout the St. Lawrence Market neigborhood, the festival includes over 200 vendors selling everything from dog tattoos to party dresses.  Make sure you bring Fido so he can sniff some new behinds!

And if you’re planning an overnight stay, check to see if the Banting House B&B has any rooms available.   Paul, the owner, is a close personal friend of Doggies.com.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

A dog walks into a bar…

May 30, 2008


By TOM HORGAN, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota StarTribune.com
Talk about party animals — a rowdy crowd of sloppy-faced, touchy-feely revelers regularly takes over the Nomad World Pub.

Guaranteed: You’ve never seen this much butt-sniffing in a bar in your entire life.

But what else would you expect? Every month or so, the Nomad World Pub literally goes to the dogs, with more than 50 canines and their owners invading the Minneapolis bar for a night unlike any other.

Life with Jake IV

May 27, 2008

Last Christmas, my friend Wendy was baking her cookies, with a little unwanted help from Jake.  She kept pushing him away, but every time, he came right back.  While she was working on her cut-out cookies, he was right under foot.  If you’ve ever made cut-outs, you know that you have to put flour or powdered sugar down on the countertop to keep the dough from sticking.  When you put the dough down, sometimes the flour puffs out.  You guessed it!  A big puff of flour hit Jake right in the kisser!  It wasn’t enough to make him move, though.  Wendy says she just can’t wait to see what he does this Christmas!  (BTW - Jake’s face is normally totally black.)

Until next time,

Good day and good dog!
