Art Linkletter, who delighted early TV audiences with his sweetly micheivous humor when he interviewed children and regular folks, is dead at 97.
He was a beloved icon of his time, getting people to share a little too much information during his shows, but always with a gentle and kindly manner.
An article in The Wall Street [...]

This holiday weekend between the cookouts, parades, and the extra day off, please take some time to remember our Military Heroes.? The men and women who died for our country, and the ones currently on tour of duty overseas.??
Also take the time to remember our Military Working Dogs.? America’s war dogs are trained to recognize [...]
Word’s just getting out that animal officers in Santa Cruz, Calif. captured a dog who evaded them for nearly two months. It took 80 tries and numerous highway closures before they were able to lure him to safety.
The dog, dubbed Highway Man because of his highway-closing escapades, had been living with transients when his people [...]

When you call yourself “America’s Veterinarian,” people assume that your pets must be perfect: perfect health, perfect teeth, perfect coat, and of course, perfect manners.
And really, I pretty much practice what I preach. We feed our pets well, keep them slim, practice a high level of preventive care, brush their teeth every single day, socialize [...]

It’s Friday! And you may feel as happy as the dog dancing this merengue. She dances divinely, and even seems to be smiling — hugely — much of the time. This is really something. A great way to send my Dogster friends into the weekend!
A big thank-you to Peggy and Prin-cess, who called our [...]

A few months ago, I met a couple of friends for lunch and a dog playdate. When Harper and I arrived, I opened the gate into the play area, and the next thing I knew, one of the dogs waiting for us, a Boxer, rushed out and nailed Harper. She was screaming and the Boxer [...]

A few people, including Rawley’s breeder, have been asking, “Hey, Christie, what’s up with him? No photos, no video, no breathless reports of his total cuteness?”
Rawley is just as wonderful and adorable as ever; it’s me who isn’t.
I tore the meniscus in my left knee, and my general practitioner totally missed it when I went [...]

I’m a big fan of promoting my love of animals. My car has decals galore, the memo board in my office has stickers and funny cartoons pinned to it, and I wear pet jewelry.
Yep, I’m the gal with the chihuahua earrings or brooch on my shirt at pet events that reads “I love my dog” [...]

This fun music video by You Scream I Scream is a gem. (I especially love the “Humans Playing Music” bit!) And the message is spot on. After watching it I want to run out to a shelter and adopt whatever is in a cage! Enjoy!

A tiny camera on a Plattsburg, Mo. police officer’s handheld radio unit recorded him rescuing a dog whose back leg was caught on a fence. And then it caught a touching and funny surprise ending, which I won’t give away here. Watch it, then let’s talk.

A few weeks ago I put some adult human guests in the back of my car enroute to a fancy party. Everyone was in black. Until they got to the party. Then everyone was in black and yellow. Alas, I had forgotten about vacuuming the velour-like back seat, and when we arrived at our event, [...]

I first began teaching my dogs to pull a two-wheeled cart or a four-wheeled wagon more than 25years ago.?My husband and I had two German Shepherds, and we learned early that we needed to keep both dogs –? Watachie (wa TASH ee) and Michi (mee CHEE) –? busy. If their minds and bodies weren’t busy, [...]

I’ll take mine with a little mustard, no relish.
A big ARF to Granger Balestrieri, for supplying us with this most delicious photo.

Ok, Dogsters. I’m throwing down the gauntlet this week with a shot that pretty much defies any sort of logical set up I can give it. Let’s just say that my expectations are extremely high for caption quality level given the scene before you. If you’ve played this game before, you know the drill. If [...]

In my last post, I wrote about my Mom and her dog, Ginger, graduating from therapy dog class. Although I had to give my Mom some ‘atta girls’ for graduating, I also want to share the praise with everyone who graduated from class.
Kindred Spirits Dog Training has an informative therapy dog class but also a [...]

Ah, to be in Melbourne right now. The work of art you see above, of the United Nations composed entirely of Dachshunds, is not still life. Far from it! It moves. It wiggles. It wags. It sleeps. It probably even poops. it is living art, courtesy of artist Bennet Miller. I’ll let ABC News – [...]

My mom, Joanne Stout, and her dog, Ginger, graduated from the Kindred Spirits’ therapy dog class this past Saturday. They both did a very good job throughout the class? — which I think surprised my mom a little.
Regular readers may remember that my dad passed away about a year and a half ago, preceded in [...]

When a dog attacks a cat, it’s not news. But when a cat attacks a dog, it can be. Especially when it happens on a school playground with lots of children around. And especially when the dog is smaller than the cat.
It seems Rosie the Cat was hanging out at a local primary school’s yard [...]

What weighs four pounds, flies across the Pacific, and then surfs on it? That would be Bobby Gorgeous, a fearless Pomeranian who was the smallest competitor in the Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition in San Diego this weekend. He came all the way from Hawaii to compete
Bobby Gorgeous was among the 65 canine [...]

On Thursday, a fire destroyed the shelter owned by the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. Although more than two dozen dogs and cats were saved, 15 cats died in the fire. From the Contra Costa Times:
“It’s absolutely devastating,” said Katherine O’Donnell, communications director for the society. Tears streamed down O’Donnell’s face as she gave a tour [...]

When I was growing up, our family dog — a standard poodle named Jacques — wore a slip-chain collar 24/7 with his license, rabies tag and ID on the stationary ring.? We had an above-ground pool with a vinyl liner, and to keep the dog out when we were using it so he wouldn’t scratch [...]

In Great Britain, a revered veterinary charity called the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals is commemorating several dogs who helped rescue hundreds from the rubble of war in London. We’ll show you three photos here, but you can find more on this BBC page. Above is Rip, who had been rescued by an air raid [...]

I was out with the dogs today when my neighbor Diane came home. We got to talking about our birds and their propensity to make noise, especially when they’re feeling neglected. “We should get them together out at the pool and have drinks sometime,” she suggested. I agreed that would be fun and that we [...]

I’ve been trying to pretend the Delta Society, the nation’s leading therapy dog organization, hadn’t just issued a ban on participation by dogs fed a raw diet. Because honestly, after 24 years of feeding raw meat, eggs and dairy products to my dogs and cats with not a single food-borne illness or nutritional problem, I’m [...]

Hi Dogsters! Jake here! Maria is finally let me have a go at the keyboard for a while so I can write a review of my Crypton Dog Bed. I got one through Maria’s dog-writing colleague Julia Szabo, who wrote a great guest post about fashionable doggy digs for the blog back in March. Maria [...]

We usually think of Survivor host Jeff Probst in far-flung corners of the earth, worlds away from civilization and the comforts of home. But in a new web series, Doing More for Pets, we get to see Probst kick back and relax in his lovely house with his dog, Cooper, and cat, Zoe. In this [...]

This is National Dog Bite Prevention Week, which means now’s? a good time to review safety around dogs, because even normally friendly dogs can and do bite in certain circumstances.
Our friends at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine have some helpful words of wisdom from veterinary behaviorist Dr. Melissa Bain, but my favorite item [...]

A dog who suffers from thunderstorm phobia can break your heart. I know this first hand, because even before we can hear the first sounds of a storm my normally brave and bold little Quixote shakes uncontrollably and pants at the rate of about 300 times per minute.

I usually think that the whole “mysterious? cat” thing is blown way out of proportion, undoubtedly by the sophisticated PR machine behind the cat as a measure to keep us endlessly fascinated without asking anything of them as we do with our dogs.
And then there’s Jezebel, who presented me with a feline mystery I never [...]
