Religion for Dogs
Have you ever taken your dog to a church service where a special blessing is offered for pets? What if you could take your dog with you every Sabbath? A church in Los Angeles has recognized that people share an important bond with their dogs and is now opening its doors to dogs and their families every Sunday.
Prayers of Gratitude
Amen!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Toto, the Official State Dog of Kansas?
A new bill is being proposed to designate the Cairn Terrier, the dog breed that played Toto in The Wizard of Oz film, as the official state dog of Kansas.
Rep. Ed Trimmer is proposing a bill to designate the Cairn Terrier as the official dog breed of Kansas at the urging of Kansas native Brenda Moore, chairwoman of the South Central Kansas Kennel Club. Moore feels the designation is important to her state.
There was a previous attempt to designate the Cairn Terrier as state dog in 2006 and although it scored thousands of signatures, no politicians took up the cause.
Let’s click our paws together three times for a new Kansas state dog!

So, I spent the day researching the invited champions. You’ll have to read the article if you want to know my picks, but what about you? Have you picked out any early favorites? Let us know who you like by commenting below.

Obama Aide Takes Gibe at Romney Over Dog Car Roof Incident
Senior Obama strategist David Axelrod took aim at Mitt Romney over the incident where Romney strapped his dog to the car roof on 12-hour drive.
Axelrod tweeted a photo of Obama riding with Bo in the back of his armored limousine with the caption “How loving owners transport their dogs.” Clearly this was meant as a dig at Romney, and probably a well-deserved one considering the act of cruelty where Romney somehow thought it was a good idea to strap his dog’s kennel, with the dog inside, to the roof of his car for an entire 12-hour drive.
The tweet’s timing coincided with the launch of a Facebook page called ‘Pet Lovers for Obama‘ – where pet owners are encouraged to upload photos of their pets wearing Obama 2012 gear.
