There was a neat (but sad) story in my local paper the other day. This elderly man had bought a Golden Retriever for his wife several years ago, but when the wife died in 2006, he and the dog became inseparable. Continue reading Loyal to the end, and then some

Tuesday Top Ten: Dog Treat Recipes
I was cleaning out the basement over the weekend and came across a copy of the Three Dog Bakery Cookbook (by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff). So, here are the ten recipes I thought sounded the best.
First Dog’s First Year: Pix of Bo Obama
Thanks to People Pets for providing us with these great pictures of the first dog’s first year in the White House. What a cutie!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Even if you can’t take this particular dog, please consider going to your own local shelter and picking up a new member for your family.
Not sure where to go? You can search PetFinder’s shelter database here.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

I think it was Gandhi who said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” So, all of us who attended the BlogPaws conference are being asked to join together to help raise $500 for Pets Without Parents in Columbus, OH. In the spirit of a Paw Pawty, I invite you to participate in helping this shelter.
Sad, sad terriers
I was in Newark, Ohio on business earlier this week, and had the opportunity to stay at a beautiful hotel called Cherry Valley Lodge. It was set up to look like an old time hunting lodge, but the art work hanging on the walls was something else.

Here’s How They Adopt Shelter Dogs in Arkansas
During a minor league baseball game, Iams had a featured pet available for adoption from a local animal shelter. The dog, Mona, apparently really really really had to go. Watch the video to see what happens next.
