Baby, It’s HOT Outside!
If you know me, you know I am a dog on the go! I’d rather accompany my people than stay home ANY day but some days it is just too hot for me to tag along. Here’s a nice video on the dangers of having your best friend trapped in a car on a warm day. (HINT: if I am with my people on a warm day, and we MUST make a stop, one of them will stay with me and keep the A/C blasting). Unfortunately, my people have had to call the police twice this year to save dogs … this spot continues
Scoop it, Y’all
There seems to be a whole lot of concern about picking up poop these days. On our weekly was around the lake in Carolina Beach (we do Farmers Market there every Saturday) we spotted this sign. We were very amused, and after posting it to facebook, realized a whole lot of people found the wording just as strange as we did.

According to the Stormwater Manager’s Resource Center “The presence of pet waste in stormwater runoff has a number of … this spot continues
Can you Stop, Drop and Roll?
Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day, so here are some tips to keep us safe from house fires. 1. Monitor any open flames. If your pets are anything like me and Marshall, they are incredibly curious about everything. Keep a close eye on candles or fires to ensure they don’t knock them over.

It’s a great idea to have a plan for how you are going to leave … this spot continues

I came across this post on Pets.Ohio.com as a user of an Android phone and a dog, I found this app most offensive. Google’s android.com is allowing a game called Dog Wars to remain available for download. The game was created by Kage Games, LLC and is causing outrage among animal lovers, who are demanding that Google take down the game. According to Google’s Android Market policies, “Android Market should not be used for unlawful purposes or for promotion of dangerous and illegal activities.” The dog in the game’s logo is a cartoon Pit Bull with yellow eyes, a studded collar, … this spot continues
Firehouse Mascot
When I saw this story in the North Raleigh News, I knew I had to share it. Firehouse mascot Angus slowed by arthritis, tumor BY CARLENE STEIN - Correspondent The tiny pup’s first fire call took him to the Angus Barn. He was so small, his body barely filled the hands of the firefighter who held him.

Angus, a Dalmatian familiar to many in North Raleigh, turned 14 in December and his health is declining. The arthritis in his hips has … this spot continues

Ancient Puppy Mills?
It is easy to believe that puppy mills are a recent phenomena. However this story make me think that the ancient Egyptians were involved in a form of running puppy mills. Just goes to show there really is nothing new under the sun. Millions of Mummy Puppies Revealed at Egyptian Catacombs Published March 30, 2011 The excavation of a labyrinth of tunnels beneath the Egyptian desert has revealed the remains of millions of animals, mostly dogs and jackals. Many appear to have been only hours or days old when they were killed and mummified. The Dog Catacombs, as they are known, … this spot continues
