We all know Thursday is an important holiday (my favorite, in fact). You may plan to eat until you can’t eat anymore, visit with family and old friends, or map out your early morning shopping extravaganza, but what will your dog be doing?

I’m thinking this boy ought to be the official tester of dogs to see if they are suitable for families with children. Thanks to friend of the blogger Henry McGhee for sending along this sweet video.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Sitting here watching my Buckeyes get trounced by the Hawkeyes (1st half, at least), and I got to wondering about how many teams were named after dogs. Of course, the most famous are probably the U Conn Huskies and the Georgia Bulldogs, but turns out there are eight (according to Wikipedia). Which one is your favorite?
My sister sent me a whole group of pictures under the heading of “Who Needs a Babysitter”? I thought this one was the cutest. I’m always telling people my big dogs would think their toy dogs are appetizers. Never thought about what my kids would think!
With great thanks to funpic.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Do you get the Outdoor Channel? If so, tune in this Saturday for Dogs and Logs, a combination lumberjack and dock diving show.
This is really the origins of Dock Diving. ESPN was looking for something to use as filler between events at an outdoorsman competition, and thought it might be interesting to do something with dogs. Someone at ESPN contacted a friend in Medina, Ohio, who came up with the Dock Diving concept, and the sport was born.
In celebration of those beginnings, the Stihl IronJack (Ironman Lumberjack), includes the IronDog competition, where dogs compete in Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve to earn the title.
In my area, Dogs and Logs airs Saturday, November 20th at 2:30 pm, and re-runs Sunday, November 21st at 3:00 am. This event is the semi-finals from Salem, Oregon.
There was a preview of the show today – if you watch this weekend, pay special attention to something you almost never see: the handler falls into the pool! Too funny.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Not all about dogs today, but I thought this was an interesting take on how the rich and famous celebrate the holidays with their pets. Celebrity pets are almost as primped and pampered as their famous parents, so you can only begin to imagine what kind of holiday gifts celebs will bestow on their furry, four-legged friends. As the holidays inch closer, pet-lifestyle expert and author of “Beauty Secrets for the Pampered Cat,” Sandy Robins, has announced her picks for the Top Ten Celebrity Pet Presents for the season bringing new meaning to the phrase, “You lucky dog!”

I’m sitting here looking at my beautiful Cooper’s face and lamenting the fact that he has two scars on his face from wrestling with the other dogs in our house. Got me wondering if your dogs have any scars?

I just love the look on this dog’s face! (And I love watching the cartoon draw itself on my screen!)
