One of my most favorite mail-order catalogs is the one from Wireless. It’s got lots of goofy t-shirts and merchandise based on TV shows, but the best part is the dog-related merchandise they have. Here’s a sample from the 2010 summer preview catalog.

I received an e-mail the other day from Kyla Duffy of Happy Tails Books, regarding some exciting things they have in the works. I love free stuff!
The good folks at Mars Veterinary (who bring you Pedigree dog food and Greenies chews) are running a census specifically for mixed-breed dogs.

Most of the time, I can’t even afford to take my human children out to dinner, but check out this clip from NBC Nightly News about restaurants that are now encouraging you to bring your dog when you eat out! Apparently, it’s all the rage in urban and warm-weather cities.
Of course, my dogs are champion counter-surfers, so I can’t imagine we’d be asked back.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

If you’ve been reading this blog for very long, you know that I am fascinated with the sport of dock-diving, and that I have a Vizsla named Cooper. Well, I’m so excited! We’ve decided to enter Cooper in a dock-diving competition this weekend.
