For Your Viewing Pleasure
There are some great, educational videos out there in cyberspace, such as this one on DogChannel.com, which features author Ken Foster, who penned Dogs I Have Met and the People They Found. Here, Foster shares his views on pit bulls, among other things. (I have worked in the past with BadRap, Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls, and I firmly believe that the breed is not the probelm, it’s often the owners.)
Bill Cosby and his terrier, Harry, sit down for a quick interview, and when Cosby’s in the house, you can bet you’ll be laughing in no time.
Lastly, you can now determine the exact breed of your dog, via this new product. So if you don’t mind spending some bucks so you can say with definity just what your dog is, you may want to check it out.
Happy viewing!

HB 2525 doubles the cage [...]
Two years ago today, my husband and I rescued Greta, and our lives have never been the same since. Sure, it was hard in the beginning–after all, she was a puppy with no experiences outside of living in a wire crate 23 hours a day.
Slowly, she learned how to relax and live in a home. [...]

And just in time for Adopt-A-Dog month, Disney’s new film, Beverly Hills Chihuahua hits theaters October 3. The film is about Chloe, [...]
I absolutely loved the book ‘Dogs I have Met’. It made me want to rush out and start rounding up stray dogs. Of course, the reality of caring for more animals kicked in and I decided to stick with two active dogs, three ferrets (we lost one ferret to cancer last Saturday) with a full time job and part time college. More than enough for this animal lovin gal.
