Dogs Falling Through The Ice

In doing my research for blogs this week, I came across three different news stories of dogs falling through the ice into lakes or rivers.  Not only does this endanger the dog, it puts rescuers at risk as well.

Just a reminder:  if you take your dog out walking near frozen bodies of water this winter, make sure he is properly restrained.  Unfortunately, he can’t read the signs that say “Keep off – Thin Ice.”  Take the responsibility to keep your dog safe, even though he’d much rather be chasing wildlife!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Lost Boxer – Savannah

To all of our alert & watchful readers in Savannah:  keep an eye out for this lost little girl.  Received this in my e-mail today.

Hi All – received a message this AM re: a lost female boxer, rescued at 2 yrs., now 5yrs., fawn and flashy (white), natural ears, docked tail.  Went missing 2 days ago (Dec. 28).  Very sweet.  Parents have done all the right things as far as trying to locate and are beside themselves.  If anyone has any information PLEASE contact me at the below number to let me know.

Many thanks and fingers crossed!

Lots of Excitement over Marley and Me

   I guess I’m not the only one excited about the release of “Marley and Me”.  I plan on seeing in Tuesday night, so I’ll let you know on Wednesday what I thought.  (Although I’m not particularly fond of Owen Wilson, the male lead – hope that doesn’t ruin it for me.)

Anyways, here’s just a bit of the news I’ve seen recently about the movie.

Resolutions for your Dog

Have you given any thought to New Year’s resolutions yet?  I normally don’t make them, but this year I am really trying to get in shape, so I am going to make a resolution to walk my dogs at least 3 times a week. 

Many of you may be gasping, “You don’t walk them every day?????”  No, I’m a bad, bad mommy.  With four dogs and a huge backyard, they do get quite a bit of exercise, but I know that’s no excuse.  So, I’m committing to three nights a week.

How about you?  Any dog-related resolutions?  Let us know with your comments below.

BTW, when I searched our media site for “New Years Dog”, the above picture popped up, captioned “Happy New Year from Buster”.  Isn’t he cute!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
