Saturday Survey: And the Canine Oscar goes to…
It’s Oscar weekend! I don’t think a dog has ever won an Oscar, or even appeared on the red carpet (what would they wear???) but if they could win, which one is most deserving?

Friday Funny: Lump in the Rug
Wonder how often he gets stepped on?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Dog Propelled Scooters
Do you have a hard time giving your dog enough exercise? Maybe you don’t walk as fast as the dog does or perhaps the dog pulls too hard on the leash for you to control him or her. Here’s a new one (on me, anyways): dog-powered scooters and bikes.
And you thought your dog was weird?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Tuesday Top Ten: Easiest Dogs to Obedience Train
If you’re thinking about bringing a new dog into your home, one of your considerations may be how easy it will be to obedience train the newest member of your family. I polled several dog sites and compared their lists to my personal experience to come up with the list below of the dogs who are easiest to obedience train. This isn’t to say these dogs are necessarily the smartest, only that they will readily learn and respond to commands.
For each breed, I’ve provided a link back to our breed guides where you can learn more about each breed’s temperament, history, health, and other important traits. (Or check out our complete list of dog breeds.)

Dog Rescued from Down Under
What a heart-warming story out of Boise, ID! Truck driver Glen Farrell sometimes takes his Jack Russell Eddie with him on his runs. I bet this will be one trip they’ll never forget!
Eddie got loose and was running through a nearby pasture when he fell into an irrigation distribution box and ended up 30-feet below the surface.
It took 19 hours, but they finally were able to cut a hole in the pipe and free Eddie. I’m thinking the next stop should be Earthdog trials!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
