Saturday Survey: Would You Make Your Own Dog Food

December 13, 2008

I have recently begun the process of switching my dogs to homemade food after reading some of the ingredient labels on commercial dog food.  (See the first part of our series on canine nutrition here.)

Dog Stuck in Drainpipe

December 3, 2008

NBC’s Columbus affiliate Channel 4 is reporting tonight on Zeke, a dog stuck in a drainpipe since last Saturday.  The dog apparently chased a critter into the pipe and got stuck.  This afternoon, a crew from Dreier and Maller, a Reynoldsburg sewage company, ran a cable and robotic camera down the pipe.  The dog has been sighted and is still alive, but has not yet been rescued.  Raw footage from the robotic camera can be seen here

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Marmaduke on Animal Planet

December 3, 2008

Endulge me for one small family-related plug.  Do you watch Dogs 101 on Animal Planet?  My mom’s cousin is married to Brad Anderson, the cartoonist who draws Marmaduke.  They interviewed him for their segment on Great Danes.  Although his family has had Great Danes, he and his wife currently have a toy breed, so it was kind of funny to see him with these huge dogs.  Anyways, if you haven’t seen it, I’m not sure about the repeat schedule, but we sure are proud of him!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
