Friday Funny: Cooper Loses a Cat
November 6, 2009
Last night, I was sitting in my La-Z-Boy writing an article, and Twiggy (one of the cats at my house) jumped up into my lap, which is the normal resting place for my Vizsla, Cooper. Even though he was perfectly comfortable on the bed, he had to come chase Twiggy off of my lap, but halfway there, he stopped to scratch.
Canine Breast Cancer
October 31, 2009
As we end October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought this story from WEWS in Cleveland was appropriate. (No, it doesn’t involve NFL players wearing pink shoes – have you ever seen anything more ridiculous?)
The Story of Faith, One Amazing Dog
October 28, 2009
I know I’ve seen this dog on TV before but I can’t remember where. Thanks to friend-of-the-blogger Wendy for submitting this story about a dog born on Christmas Eve, 2002, and thanks to Judy Stringfellow for believing in him!
Reader’s Digest Hero Pets of the Year
October 7, 2009
The winner - Chi Chi: Courtesy Mary Lane
My bad! I totally missed the boat on this one. Over the summer, Reader’s Digest ran a contest to find a winner for the award of Hero Pet of the year. Finalists included 2 dogs, 1 horse, 1 cat, and 1 parrot. No big surprise that one of the dogs won!
I’m sorry I didn’t get this to you in time to vote – I’ll put it on my calendar to check on for next year. At any rate, the stories of the finalists are available on the Reader’s Digest site - they are very touching.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Have you ever seen an orangutan walking a dog?
October 1, 2009
There’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!
We Have a Winner!
September 30, 2009
I received an e-mail from the good people at Nasonex today.
“I wanted to let you know that the name chosen for Ronnie’s four-legged friend is now posted at “Don’t Blow It” (www.dontblowit.com). As a reminder, for every new person that plays the game, we’re planting a low-allergenic tree through American Forests.”
So, for those of you who were wondering, make sure to check it out!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Pregnant Dog is a Hero
September 29, 2009
According to a recent story in the Canton Repository, kudos are due to Jada, a mixed breed who lives here in Canton with Tabitha Billings. Seems an intruder broke into their home and threatened Tabitha and her 3-year old son with a gun.
A-Easy Driving Method: So Easy, Even a Schnauzer Can Do It
September 25, 2009
Yesterday, my partner dropped a dog cookie. You guessed it – the dogs went after the cookie and ended up mistaking Debbie’s toe for the treat. She has a nasty infection and had to go to the ER last night. On the way home, we stopped to pick up her antibiotics, and found this car in the parking lot:
Sorry it’s so dark – this was 11 at night.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Is your dog a boy or a girl?
September 23, 2009
Even though most of us, as responsible pet guardians, have spayed or neutered our dogs, effectively making them “its”, we have been struggling here at doggies.com with how to refer to animals without offending either gender. Did you ever ask someone “What’s his name?” or “How old is he?”, only to have the person look down his nose and say “SHE is whatever…”
We definitely don’t want to offend, so, I’ve been asked to run a poll to see what you think. How should we be gender-inclusive on the blog, as well as in our articles and other features?
