Nintendo's 'Wii Fit Plus' adds pet support

Nintendo's 'Wii Fit Plus' adds pet support


Good thing! My pup, Bailey, always tries to "help" me when I pull out the Wii Fit anyway, may as well use it to track her weight too!

In Rome, even the dogs get to cool off in the pool

In Rome, even the dogs get to cool off in the pool

Rome has opened its first doggy swimming pool. It's about a 19 inch deep pool, surrounded by grass and trees. What a wonderful idea!

Custom Pet Weather Report

Custom Pet Weather Report
Have you checked out Weather.com's custom pet weather report feature? You enter some basic information about your pet (type, size, weight, etc.) and enter your location and they give you a weather report for your pet.

For my dog it gave best times of the day for a walk, a comfort index, mosquito activity levels, etc. There's also an hourly breakdown.

Check it out: Weather.com Custom Pet Weather Report

Snuggies for Dogs


Yes, you read that right, the fine people who brought us the Snuggie are now bringing us Snuggie for Dogs. No more will your pooch have to wrestle you for your Snuggie.

Come on, admit it, you have one for yourself. And you're tempted to get one for the pup! ;-)

So cute!


[Update: In the commercial they show the Snuggie for Dogs on what looks to me like a Retriever, but on the site the 'large' size is listed as 16-20 inches long and for weights between 17-27lbs. Those measurements would fit my cockapoo, but I can't see it working for anything larger. ]

Pets can be partners in fitness

Pets can be partners in fitness

I'd imagine that (a) it depends on the temperament of your pet (b) you'd want to slowly introduce your pet to these activities, but once those hurdles are covered, it might be fun!

Bulldog Get New Pool

Video: Bulldog Get New Pool

My pupster *loves* splashing around in her kiddie, err, puppy pool, but only when the hose is running. I'll have to dig up a video to share - it's a hoot!

But in the meantime, enjoy this sweet bulldog who is clearly torn between enjoying is wonderful new pool and showering thank yous on his person for giving it to him.

Prepare to Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Pets & Babies - The Valley Hospital Parent Education Classes

Expecting a new baby? Don't forget about your loving and loyal four-legged first baby, your cat or dog. There WILL be adjustments to make. The one-session Pets & Babies class, held in Paramus, NJ, teaches expectant parents tried and true methods to a happy home for all family members. Time after time, parents are heartbroken when their long-time pet is not as thrilled to see that squirming bundle of joy as everyone else is. With a little preparation and training, tails will be wagging when your new addition comes home.

Next session is May 19, from 7:30 - 9:30PM. Call 201-291-6151 to register or for more information.

Spring is just around the corner. Wouldn't it be fun to find some new people for you and your dog to hang out with? Yep, I thought so!

  • MyDogSpace - MyDogSpace is an online community that includes pictures, videos, blogs, and forums where people share stories about their dogs and swap information.

  • Dogchannel.com - This site, sponsored by the folks who bring us Dog Fancy magazine as well as many other pet-related magazines, welcomes readers of the magazine and all other dog lovers. The boards are filled with stories and helpful advice.

  • Dog.community - is a place to share photos, videos, and stories of your dog with others.

  • Meetup.com - You've probably heard about Meetup.com as a site for people to connect, but it also has a large number of members looking for dog playdates! Well worth a look!

  • Dogster.com - is a great place to find other dog lovers and get answers, recommendations, and advice; find local pet businesses; and share photos, stories, and videos. You can also keep a diary for your pet there.
