Weekend Update January 15, 2010


Here's your paper. That will be one tennis ball, please.

Happy weekend everyone! I’m recovering from some minor knee surgery and actually the best I have felt this year!

Puppy Mills

Part of what is driving this great mood is the aboslutley terrible coverage puppy mills have been getting lately. They are taking a real drubbing in the news with stories like this and this. But keep in mind as you read those stories – the AKC has fought any legislation that would regulate this mills. They know where their bread is buttered.

“Breakthroughs” In Pet Care

In the “did I accidentally surf to the onion.com?” department, Dancing Dog Blog brings us this astound story about a home testing kit for heartworm. What’s even more bizarre is how it recommends that you draw blood for the test.

Feeding Raw

Have you considered feeding your dog raw food? It’s a pretty popular diet, but it’s not something you want to dive into without some research. Doggy Bytes ran a series last week with some in depth information on feeding raw. It’s worth a look.

Secret Life of Dogs

A wonderful series of 6 videos about dogs has been making the rounds. Here’s the first one:

You can see the rest over at Youtube.
