For our friends in the Lawton, OK area who can definitely use a blast of summer right now (they have about 40,000 homes out of power due to an ice storm) – check out this YouTube video of dogs at the beach. Guaranteed to make you smile!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
As I’ve said before, I am a proud employee of American Electric Power. Things like this article from The Putnam (WV) Standard make me feel even better about the company.

USA Today recently reported on a survey commissioned by Bissell Homecare and done by Kelton Research. The survey asked 650 pet owners what role their pet played in their lives.
66% reported the pet was their best friend (not sure what this says about the quality of human friends / spouses / significant others)
59% said the pet was a snuggle buddy (this is my Cooper, to a T)
37% used the pet as a guardian (does this mean the dog is guarding the house or that the dog is controlling the person’s finances & looking out for his/her well-being?)
33% viewed the pet as a child (this would fit my brother)
25% saw the pet as therapist (maybe Snoopy should have been in Lucy’s psychiatry booth)
Come back Saturday when we’ll p0se the same question to you, our valued readers.

Good day, and good dog!
If you haven’t heard, the movie Marmaduke is due out in theaters June 4th. USA Today and 20th Century Fox are co-sponsoring a contest that could allow your dog to appear at the end of the movie.
One of the themes of the movie is that Marmaduke must learn how to surf, so the contest is looking for dogs who have faced and conquered great challenges.
To enter: submit a one-minute action video of your dog at work or at play via the newspaper’s Paw Print Post, which also has detailed rules for the contest.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
You’ve probably heard by now that the San Francisco couple that breeds Shiba Inus is back on UStream with a puppy cam. They were even featured on last Sunday’s Today Show.
But did you know there are lots of other puppy cams available for your viewing pleasure? Here is a list of those found on Ustream, ranked by the number of viewers they had at the time I logged in.
You can also find other puppy cams by simply putting “Puppy Cam” in your favorite search engine.
10. Border Collies
8. Boxers
7. Labradoodles
4. Bulldogs
3. Beagles
2. Mastiffs
1. And of course, the Shibas that started the craze
Have fun!

Good day, and good dog!
I came to Columbus, Ohio this weekend to visit a new great-nephew and went shopping at Easton Mall. In addition to eating a delicious CinnaBon, I got a chance to visit Moochie & Co, a store full of dog treats, gourmet foods, accessories, toys and outfits.
In one of my posts this week, I referenced Victoria Stillwell from the Animal Planet show It’s Me or the Dog, which got me to thinking about how we accomplish the huge task of dog training.
A man in Sherman Oaks, California says his Cocker turned 22 on New Year’s Day. Can anyone beat that? See the video story from WCCO.
Until next time
Good day, and good dog!
Have you seen the TV show called “It’s Me or the Dog“? I think it’s on Animal Planet, and I think my son has been spending way too much time watching it.
