Dog Charity Events
I took my son to the library this morning, and made the mistake of taking Kayla and Cooper along for the ride. I forgot today was the day the park district (which shares the building with the library) was hosting the Caring Tails on Stark Trails charity dog walk and doggie dress-up contest.

TV for your dog?
Have you checked out the new Dog TV channel? It’s made just to keep your dog entertained while you’re away at work or whatever.
The audio on the interview segments isn’t great, but from what I gathered, the channel is designed to reduce separation anxiety, hopefully well enough to keep your dog from howling or destroying your stuff.
Currently available only in San Diego, they are hoping to expand nationwide, as well as to other countries. The current pay-channel price is around $5 a month. There is also a video feed you can pick up online for a $9.99 fee.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Until next time,

2012 Iditarod Standings as of 9:52 AM on 3/13/12
They’re having a heat wave in Alaska today. It’s all the way up to minus two degrees in Koyuk.
Race leaders Dallas Seavey and Alliy Zirkle have left White Mountain after completing their final required 8-hour rest period. The remainder of the top five are in at White Mountain: Ramey Smyth arrived at 2:17 am, Aaron Burmeister at 3:50 am, and Peter Kaiser at 6:55 am, so apparently all have chosen this rest stop as their 8-hour layover.

The Iditarod Humans
As I’m following the Iditarod this year, what strikes me most is the wide diversity in the mushers. I know I’m supposed to be writing about dogs, but have you taken a look at the field of humans?
