Pets are family.

A sad, sad story both on the high costs of pet ownership as well as the inhumanity of the “Humane” Society.

Screw those guys if they think they’ll ever get a penny from me. They couldn’t take a credit card payment over the phone to save this guy’s cat but had cash on hand to hire a PR rep.

To hell with that.

Some really important things to consider to keep your pets safe this holiday season.

As most of you know, I have my issues with some police forces. Then again, I’ve never had a problem with K9 units, neither dogs nor handlers. Here are some of the elite of those units.

Our poor pup occasionally gets a tummy ache and goes out to graze. Thankfully this article confirms what I’ve always thought about why he does it.

Here’s an old-ish story I meant to link and forgot. It’s about the genetic makeup of dogs and where they originally came from.

Interesting stuff. We all like to know how we got here, even our puppies.

Since I’m jaded, my main thought upon reading this article is “why didn’t *I* come up with this?”

That said, the guy seems legit in caring for animals, if not in believing Talibangelical paranoia.

Because, honestly, the world can get WAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than it is right now, even without conservative teenage anal sex, bombing brown people, and planting new nuclear plants in former Confederate states (yes, rednecks, Obama is actually prepping you twits for the next Three Mile Island, HA! HA! HA! HA!).

Sorry, just had to add a new conspiracy theory out there.

Thanks to Stan for pointing us to this really interesting article on how dog’s brains work and how much of it has to do with socialization with humans.
