I’m watching a show on Animal Planet that has the five best dogs doing x, y, and z – several different categories. So, what’s the cutest thing your dog does?

I received this e-mail last night from my friends at The Pet Resort at Willow Wood in New Albany, OH. Please help if you can.
We’ve been trying to build up Cooper’s play drive by playing fetch with him more often, in hopes that he will want to chase a toy off the dock for dock diving. So, tonight he came over to me with a ball in his mouth. Naturally, I threw it for him, and praised the heck out of him when he brought it back. He gave it to me pretty easily, so I threw it again, but it went under the edge of the bed. (I throw like a girl.) He couldn’t see it, but he looked around for awhile, and I’m saying “Go get it! Go get it! Good boy, Cooper!” He appeared to lose interest because he couldn’t see it, then he went and got a different ball and brought it to me. I guess he’s not as dopey as he looks!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

For a complete list, check out our short article on hypoallergenic dog breeds. Here are my top ten choices.
This is Bo, a beagle currently living in a foster home for Just Us Beagles and Friends. It’s no secret that I love beagles, so when I searched the state of Arkansas for a shelter to feature here, this was a natural fit. And isn’t this a great picture? Just like I’ve said several times – Beagles are simply noses with feet!

I guess I’m just spoiled. The last time I boarded my dogs, I think I paid about $9 a night. I received a brochure today for a boarding facility, and it was very nice if the pictures were accurate, but it was about $25 per dog, which included cage & board, as well as two potty breaks a day. I think my boarding place just leaves them in their cages all day, but that’s a BIG difference in fees. How much do you pay?
