Can You Help Tigger Fight Canine Cancer?
Received this information from Kathy DeRay, who is trying to save her dog, Tigger, a second time. After rescuing Tigger 3 years ago, she is now trying to help him survive liver cancer, but as you can imagine, it is quite expensive. If you can help her with even a small donation, please visit her fundraising site.
Those of you who are regular readers know I lost my Beagle mix, Molly, to lymphatic cancer many years ago, and more recently lost my Coonhound/Lab Mix, Tracy, to cancer of the jaw. In both cases, they did not respond to any of the treatments we tried, but it looks like Tigger may have a chance. Maybe if we can help Kathy raise the funds she needs, she won’t have to go through the heartbreak so many of us have experienced.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

The Dog Food Diet
Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of dog food at Walmart, for Winston, Chief, Gus, and Maximus. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant?
Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, and that I was starting the Dog Food Diet again, although I probably shouldn’t because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with dog food nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
(I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt, and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won’t let me shop there anymore.
Enjoy your day!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I have to give credit where credit is due. Thanks to friend-of-the-blogger Connie for sending this to me.

Removing Dog Hair from Upholstery
I saw this commercial on the Westminster Dog Show, and it looks like a really neat way to remove dog hair from furniture. Has anyone tried it? There were two different brands shown, but I only caught the name of one of them – the Fur Fighter from Scotch Brands.

Survey Saturday: How Much Would You Pay for a Dog?
Have you seen the story out of Boca Raton, FL yet? Seems a couple (who already have 9 dogs) wanted a clone of one of their dogs who had recently passed away. (And BTW, this reminds me a lot of the lady in California who had six kids at home & underwent artificial insemination to have octuplets).
