In Montana a women saw a black bear attacking her dog. She yelled and this distracted the bear — making him come after her. So she threw a zucchini at him.
It the bear in the head, and he ran away.
Really, what more can I say?
Michael Vick isn’t just back, he’s the starting quarterback for the Eagles now. As David Greene points over at Pet Connection, some think this is actually a good development. As Iago (the Aladdin version, not the Shakespearean one) said “I’m dyin’ from not surprised.” But remember: Vick doesn’t work for the HSUS! No sir! He’s just helping them with some PR. (Or is it the other way around? I get that confused sometimes.)
Meanwhile, the Vick Dogs show the kind of character that their namesake and the HSUS apparent can not. Dancing Dog Blog has a nice list of Vick Dog highlights over here. I’ll be posting a review of The Lost Dogs pretty soon.
New Yorkers! The AKC’s Meet the Breeds is coming soon! My friends at Go Pet Friendly are going to be there as theOfficial Pet Travel Website! Drop in and say hi!
Who can resist a dog, bear, and zucchini story? I was relieved — and horrified — to learn that the bear was trying to get into the house, thus explaining the presence of the zucchini (because, really, who takes walks in the woods with vegetables?)
Thanks for the GoPetFriendly shout out, Eric. We’re looking forward to it (and sleeping in a hotel room bed for a change!).
OMG – zucchini as a weapon–that is hilarious! (And for kids who live near the woods a warning: don’t try this at home…)
Thanks for the mention to the update on the Vick dogs, Eric – I really like that link to the NPR piece on Gorant’s “Lost Dogs” too!
I’m looking forward to Rod and Amy’s on-site reports from the AKC’s Meet the Breeds.

I can’t say that I will boycott football games–or the Eagles. I NEVER watch them. My son was given a Philly Eagles jacket, and we returned it. I would never promote them.
