I was honored this week to be interviewed by Rich from the website Dog Names and More. If you haven’t stumbled across this website yet, it’s worth checking out. He has interviews with lots of different people from the dog world, and a wealth of information about dogs.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I don’t know how many of you were up early enough today to see NBC’s Today Show. They had the cutest video about a dog and an orangutan that are best friends. Too cute!
Thanks to my brother, Jim, for sending me this clip from Letterman. I can’t ever imagine my dogs being this still!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
While we were dog-sitting last week, the guest dog had my cats hiding under the bed the whole time he was here. Made me realize how lucky I am that my dogs and cats get along, at least most of the time. How about yours?

Heads up! April 18th is National Pet Owner’s Day! My credo is “Any reason for a party”, so I’m looking forward to it.
How will you celebrate? I suggest the following:
Take your dog for a long walk.
Play Frisbee at the park with your dog.
Rub your dog’s belly.
Play tug with your dog.
Schedule a long-overdue vet appointment – it’s flea and heartworm season, after all.
Spay or neuter your dog.
Make your own dog treats (recipe below).
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour onto a baking tray and bake at 400 until the sides start to come away from the pan or a knife comes out clean.
Let it cool, cut into pieces and store in fridge!

However you choose to celebrate, we here at doggies.com hope you have fun!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Evanger’s Dog and Cat Food Company, based in Wheeling, Illinois has come out with a line of kosher pet foods. To promote the line – what else? – they are sponsoring a series of dog Seders around the country for the past several years.
Owner Holly Sher says prizes are given for the dog that can sing the four questions posed at a Seder and for the dog that finds the hidden matzoh. However, they often have trouble finding a winner for the matzoh contest, as dogs tend to be not so interested in finding it! “None of the dogs like matzoh,” Sher says.
For those of you, like me, that are not Jewish, here is a website that can help you understand some of the traditions, such as the four questions which are generally answered by the youngest child at the Passover Seder.
My favorite part of the whole article I read was the picture (shown above) of the dog with the yarmulke on his head! Too cute!

I posted last week about several celebrities who love dogs. (See the previous post here.) Then last Saturday, we asked about your favorite female celebrity from the list, so this week, it’s only fair to ask about your favorite male from the list.

OK, so I’m not sure funnest is even a word, and there is no science to this list – it is simply the dog breeds I have known that I have had fun with. This topic came to mind because my dogs are having some serious playtime in my office – running all over the place and play-biting each other.
Some dogs, like the Basset Hound, turn into doorstops soon after leaving puppyhood, so they’re not what I would call fun. Other dogs, like German Shepherds, are too serious about being a guard dog, so I’ve never seen one having fun. (OK, the address is “[email protected], for all of you Basset and German Shepherd owners!)
