| | | Canine Neighbors | | 2008-05-10 01:31:50 | | On a recent morning walk with my dog, Rocco, I ran into a friendly neighbor. “He’s been voted one of the cutest dogs in the neighborhood,” she said to me.“Thanks,” I reply.“Hi Rocco, how are you? You’re such a cute dog,” as she pets his head.“He’s a crazy puppy,” I reply jokingly. “He has more energy then I do.”The small talk continues as she asks me various questions about the dog, his breed, age, etc. Now, I don’t mind chatting with the neighbors and it’s good to know people are generally friendly and enjoy pets. Except there is one thing that bothers me…she knows my dog’s name, so obviously we’ve met before… but I don’t think she knows my name. And I don’t know her name either.As I’ve lived in this area now for almost two years, I’ve noticed this is a common trait among the neighborhood. People who are out with their dogs on a regular basis get to know each other….or should I say each dog.So, I’ve met several dogs in the neighborho | | By: Pets Knowledge | | |

| | Book Review - Yiddish for Dogs: Chutzpah, Feh!, Kibbitz, and More: Every Word Your Canine Needs to Know | | 2008-02-08 11:16:00 | | And another of my BlogCritics book reviews...I grew up in a New York Eastern European Jewish household where Yiddish was spoken interchangeably with English. We never ate chicken gizzards, and I would pale at the thought of eating stomach, but I loved the "pupick". When something was bad a simple "Oy!" would do, but if you heard "Oy vay is mir" you knew things were really bad. Instead of glowing with joy we would "kvell". And people were never crazy, just "mishugeneh".So much Yiddish has entered into typical American English vocabulary that it makes sense that our dogs, even strays from a "goy" background, would still understand the words. I mean, what dog likes to "shlep" her owners around? And who wants only kibble when there is a "mishmash" of food in the trash? Why be on a diet when we can "fress"? And how can a dog not start barking or "plotzing" when lots of people come over the house? This is a short picture book written from the viewpoint of dogs.

| | Book Review: Divine Canine - The Monks' Way to a Happy, Obedient Dog | | 2008-02-08 10:56:00 | | Another BlogCritics Book Review:I was having sushi with a good friend and we were discussing pets and the difference between dogs and cats. Being a cat lover from the time I can remember I was not too interested in hearing about dogs, who I perceived as basically big dirty dumb animals. My friend had a different take; she said, "cats are nature's serial killers, but dogs were put here to teach us how to love."When my husband and I moved to the Caribbean I brought three cats over with me. One night a local stray dog, a "potcake" as we say, came to visit. "Don't feed it!", I yelled, "or it will keep coming back!" Well, he did feed her and she did come back and now we have no cats but are the proud owner of a 65 pound potcake named Smiley (the best dog in the world). Hmmm....She came housebroken and relatively social, but liked to run off, was overprotective, and did not play well with other dogs. Luckily I found a great dog trainer and groomer, and Smiley entered doggie day care with | | By: Pilates & Reiki In Paradise Blog | | |

| | | | Automakers doggedly pursuing canine needs | | 2007-06-13 11:06:05 | | Filed under: Trends, Etc., Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Subaru, Volvo
America is a nation of dog lovers. Sure, we may be guardians to more cats than dogs, but we will do things for our dogs that might seem silly to others and never give it a second thought. We even take them to the dealership when shopping for a new vehicle because we need to know Fido will be happy with his new chariot, too. In fact, this Tough Pups Gazette article quotes an American Kennel Club study that says nearly half of dog owners take man’s best friend into consideration when buying a new car. And now we see that automakers are getting wise to our needs. The “Dog Lover” demographic is now an important one to many marketing agencies, and it’s even making on impact on vehicle design.
Things like cargo room, interior materials, floor coverings, safety barriers, and even harnesses are considerations for dog-owning buyers, and automakers are taking notice. The article points out features in cars | | By: Car O Focus | | |
| | Test Reveals Canine Fur on Diddy's "Sean John" Jacket Sold at Macy's | | 2006-12-22 22:55:00 | | The test results are in on Diddy’s fur jacket: raccoon dog.The HSUS tested the fur on a Sean John Hooded Snorkel Jacket sold on Macys.com that was originally advertised, incorrectly, as having an "imitation rabbit fur collar" and materials identified as "faux fur."The jacket, part of a clothing line by celebrity rapper and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs, was not only incorrectly advertised by Macy's but also labeled as containing "raccoon" fur, which has now been found to come from a canine species known as raccoon dog.Macy's has reportedly pulled the mislabeled Sean John garments from its department stores and online shop, but The HSUS is calling on Diddy and other designers and retailers to stop using and selling fur trim altogether.Previous tests conducted by The HSUS on fur-trimmed jackets from a range of other retailers and designers revealed the same problem—raccoon dog fur from China mislabeled as being from a different species, either "raccoon" or "coyote."The mislabeling of a fur product is a violation of federal law.China has no animal welfare laws. Animals killed for their fur in China—dogs, raccoon dogs and others—often face horrible abuse, and are too often skinned alive.hsusUpdate!Sean "Diddy" Combs notified The HSUS through a representative Dec. 22 that the Sean John snorkel jacket containing raccoon dog fur (see video of raccoon dogs killed for fur) was being pulled from sales, and in the future, the garment will be made with faux fur trim only."I was completely unaware of the nature of this material, but as soon as we were alerted, the garments were pulled off the Macy's floor and website," Combs said. "I have instructed our outerwear licensee to cease the production of any garments using this material immediately. I appreciate the tireless work that the Humane Society does and would like to thank them for bringing attention to this issue."The HSUS and the Sean John company are discussing the company's broader policy on fur trim. | | By: Celebrity Buzz | | |
