Even dogs hate the war
November 15, 2009
After the nasty story I published this morning, I had to give you something to lift your spirits. Check out this video of a Golden welcoming her soldier home after his tour of duty.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Not everyone at the post office hates dogs
November 13, 2009
Time for another touching dog story. And I did check this one out on Snopes – it is apparently true. Always nice to end the week with a story of people being good to each other.
Dog Prayers of Thanksgiving

Our pick for dog picture of the year!
Caption: Dear God, Thank you for sending me to Timmy’s house instead of Michael Vick’s! Amen.
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.
