Where’s the Kitty?

Yes, I know this video features cats, and this is a dog blog, but I had a lot of fun watching my dogs while this played. They were looking all over my office for the kittens, and they had that cute head tilt thing going on.

Turn up the volume, call your dog into the room, and enjoy the hunt! There are worse ways you could spend a couple of minutes today.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

All of God’s Creatures

This one touched me. Had to share it with you, even though it’s not about dogs.
When her baby got caught up in a string from a balloon, the mama goose walked up to a police car and began pecking at the door. The officer tried throwing some food out for her, but she wasn’t interested. Just like Lassie when Timmy was down the well, the goose walked a short distance away and looked back, quacking at the officer. He eventually followed her and found the baby.

He was afraid of hurting the baby or being attacked by the goose, so he called the SPCA, but they were busy. His fellow officer, Cecilia Charron, came to the rescue and untangled the baby from the string. Said baby was very anxious to get back to mama! Happily reunited, they swam away from the scene.

Kudos to the officers for helping out this distressed mama and baby.

We’ll get back to dogs shortly.

Until next time,
Good day, and good goose! er…dog!

Tuesday Top Ten: Dogs Stuck in Awkwardness

OK, so there are more than ten, and there are even a few cats included, but I’m still calling it a Doggies Top Ten.

Thanks to all of you (sorry – none of these had names attached) who took these pictures of your dogs in their less-than-glamorous moments, and thanks to my friend Roxanne who posted this on her Facebook wall so I could see them.

My favorites? The Corgi stuck on the really short fence, the Vizsla “enjoying some down time” in the hammock, and the Pug S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G into the dishwasher to get that last morsel.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog! Continue reading Tuesday Top Ten: Dogs Stuck in Awkwardness
