One of my “greyhound” friends recently had to have her hound’s front leg amputated due to bone cancer, which is, unfortunately, common in greyhounds.

Both she and I know of one amazing “tripod” that we’ve both witnessed run our own dogs ragged.

While my friend’s handsome greyhound who, by the way, is also a pal of my own girl, Greta, recuperates from his recent surgery, I am already looking forward to cooler weather so we can all get together for a romp.

Until then, this video I found on YouTube featuring a tripod greyhound who was rehabilitated at a Spanish animal shelter will have to suffice.

Although I could never get my greyhound, Greta, to do this, because she hates water, I love to see the dock dogs doing their thing.

For those (like me) who enjoy seeing dogs have some fun, July 12 and 13, the Meet Me at Mill Creek Festival in Mill Creek, Wash., is having their annual Puget Sound Dock Dogs competition. The event helps raise awareness for the American College of Internal Veterinary Medicine’s Chase Away K9 Cancer organization.

Events details can be found here, and all levels of jumping ability are encouraged to participate–the only prerequisite is that your dog likes to get wet.

If you can’t make it up there to see the action live, check out the video above from last year’s event and enjoy the dock dogs vicariously.

Tonight (Thursday, July 10) at 8 p.m. ET/PT, CBS unveils its new canine reality series: “Greatest American Dog”, in which 12 teams of dogs and owners from across the nation, ranging from “pageant dogs” to those simply trained at home, will live together and compete against each other in challenges that put the owners’ ability to train their dogs to the test.

Each week, the judges will eliminate one dog and their owner. The last remaining team will walk away with a $250,000 cash prize and the title of “Greatest American Dog”. Distinguished canine critics Wendy Diamond, Allan Reznik and Victoria Stilwell are the judges, and Jarod Miller is the host.

If you want to be the cool “dog” on the block, get a plastic kiddie pool for your dog. (In this case, inflatable won’t due, because your dog’s nails will most likely pop the pool immediately.)

With close supervision, a kiddie pool can last for years (or it can become a very large chew toy, if your pooch is left unsupervised with it).

Plastic kiddie pools can be found at most grocery stores, as well as larger retailers and some toy stores.

A kiddie pool might be just the thing to keep you and your hot dog cool through the summer months.

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!
