U.K. turns CCTV, terrorism laws on pooping dogs

U.K. turns CCTV, terrorism laws on pooping dogs

It's only a matter of time before this starts to happen everywhere. Of course everyone should pick up after their own dog, that goes without saying, but this is taking things way too far.

L.A. pet law requires pets sterilized at 4 months - CNN.com

L.A. pet law requires pets sterilized at 4 months - CNN.com
This is a bad idea.

Yes, of course, spaying/neutering your pet is the right thing to do, no argument there.

But the decision on **when** to do it is something that has to be decided by you and your vet. The government has no business picking a random number of days/weeks/months and making that the law. This type of law can do far more harm than good!

Dogs reduce allergies in kids

Report says having a dog reduces allergies in kids
Well, for what it's worth, I didn't have a dog as a kid, and I have allergies. Of course, I have a dog now and still have allergies, so I guess it's not a cure - more of prevention thing?

Acid Attacks on Dogs in NJ

You may have heard about the beagle puppy that some creep attacked with acid.* Evil, sick, twisted, depraved, wicked, heinous, loathsome...I just can't find a single word to describe the person who could do such a thing.

I'm surprised and bothered that the news isn't pointing out that this isn't a one-time event. A while back another dog was found, in the same area, after another acid attack. Call me an alarmist, but this seems like more like a pattern than just a horrible coincidence. And where is the reporting on where the dogs come from? Are these family pets that have been stolen? Or someone abusing their own pets?

The good news is in both cases a local group (START II of Bergen County) has stepped in to help get these poor pups the medical treatment they need. If you want to make a donation, you can call them at: 201-843-8968 or visit "http://www.volunteermatch.org/orgs/org49333.html.

Keep a close eye on your pets, and give them an extra hug tonight.


*Fair warning - the stories and photos are hard to read/disturbing to view.

New Breed of Lawyer Gives Every Dog His Day in Court

I guess the rise in pet trusts, pet custody cases, etc. would naturally lead to a rise in pet lawyers. Hopefully this will be a good thing - resulting in ways for people to ensure that their pets will always be cared for and treated well.

Chip implants linked to animal tumors - Yahoo! News

Oh geez, seeing headline like this "Chip implants linked to animal tumors - Yahoo! News" makes my heart stop.

I had the vet give Bailey a chip when it became clear that any time she sees a squirrel she was going to lose her mind and forget all the rules. Sure, she also has her tags on her collar, but it's too easy for the collar to come off/get lost, so I wanted some insurance. To say it would break my heart to lose her doesn't begin to cover it.

Now this report. This is the first I've heard of it, but you can bet I'll chat up the vet about it on our next visit. And watch the pup closely, as always.
Nothing is easy in life, eh? Still, at this point, I think I made the right call. Hope that's true...

Magazines for Dog Lovers

Those of you who know me IRL know that I am a dog person. Several years ago I got a furry roommate - a cockapoo named Bailey. That led me to looking into various resources for information on life with a pup. Here are some of the magazines I've found useful and interesting (hover over link for pricing and purchase info):


  • The Bark - a mix of articles and stories that explore the special bonds between dogs and humans. Features cover health, behavior, travel and recreation, as well as, art and literature - all with a unique, canine perspective.

  • Dog Fancy - information on canine diet, grooming, exotic and domestic breeds, medical news and tips for showing. Show schedules, new dog products and how-to ideas are listed monthly.

  • Modern Dog - a lifestyle magazine for urban dogs and their companions featuring expert advice, dog-friendly travel destinations, full fashion spreads, the latest accessories for your pooch and what's new in the doggie world.

  • The New York Dog - Vanity Fair for dog-lovers featuring fashion, health, nutrition, biting humor, great writing and a lavish look.

  • Fido Friendly - packed full of travel destinations that welcome Fido as well as fun and informative articles pertaining to: Diary of a Dog Chef, Fido Friendly Hotel reviews, Fido Friendly City and State reviews, Dog Trainer in Your Suitcase and much much more!


And for those of you who visit here for tech content...this was also a good reason to test drive Amazon.com's Product Preview features. And if someone decided to click on one (or more) of these and I get a little payback from Amazon, well, that's a bonus too! ;-)
