Wheelchairs for Dogs

Dewey's Wheelchairs for Dogs was a real Godsend when Sebastian got older and had problems with his hind legs. If your dog is having mobility issues, I highly recommend that you contact them.

Doberman Dinner Guest

Doberman makes an appearance in a wireless phone ad, after being summoned by the Wizard. I can't believe the guy in the pink shirt calls him a puppy.

Dogs Hang Ten

The weekend saw around 60 dogs compete in the Surf Dog competition at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in Imperial Beach (San Diego) California. Here's a video clip.

Tiffany and Sebastian loved to swim in the water, we used to take them to the river all the time to swim. My current two Dobes are not that into it. I guess I just need to take them to the beach more and get them into the water.

Dogs Delivered from Dire Deep Water

The United Animal Nations volunteers have been helping to rescue and rehabilitate the animal flood victims of the Midwest. Kudos!
These animals are being plucked off of rooftops and out of attics. They're scared and separated from their owners. A big round of applause for the volunteers for all their hard work.

Doggy Dream Homes

Wow, check out these dream homes for dogs! I'm in the same boat as the commenters, though. My dogs just wouldn't sleep in their own little house, unless it was inside the main house and they thought of it as their crate.

Dozing Dobermans

Here are Buffy and Nemo asleep on the floor. Buffy snores and that cracks me up. It's just not very ladylike.

Missing My Babygirl

Three years ago today we had to say goodbye to our little Tiffy-girl. I miss her so. She lived a long, healthy life (after a puppyhood bout with Parvo) and she was spoiled. Her body just up and gave out on her. We took her in to a specialist because she would just walk around in circles constantly. The Doc took some x-rays and said she only had a month left. We had to let Tiffany go just a week later and it was heartbreaking.

I will always remember her zest for life, she had such enthusiasm. If you sat down and crossed your legs, she would position herself over your foot to get a belly rub.
Tiffany was a great Doberman and I am blessed to have had her in my life.

Tainted Pet Food Settlement

Here's the update on the lawsuit by pet owners against those foul companies who imported a dangerous ingredient from China to use in the manufacture of pet foods.
Nearly 1,500 dogs and cats died as a result.
I'm truly sorry if yours was one of the ones affected. My animals are all OK.

Determined Dog Discovers Dad from Distance

Brian Dennis is a 37-year-old Marine who had been stationed on the Iraq-Syria border. Brian had cared for a dog that was roaming with a pack of other dogs near his camp.

The dog is a shepherd-collie mix that Brian named "Nubs" because its ears were nubby, perhaps from abuse when the dog was a puppy.

Brian's unit ended up relocating to a new area 70 miles away. Apparently Brian wasn't allowed to bring Nubs with him, so he left Nubs behind, never expecting to see the dog again. But a couple of days later the dog miraculously showed up at Brian's new location.

Nubs had traveled 70 MILES in SUB-FREEZING temperatures to find Brian. The military normally wouldn't allow a Marine to take a pet home to the U.S. from Iraq, but the Marines are bending the rules so Brian can take Nubs home.

Missing Hiker's Dog Found at Store

I feel so bad for the family and friends of missing Georgia hiker Meredith Emerson, who diappeared on New Year's Day after going on a hike in the woods with her dog, Ella. I feel bad for her dog, who I'm sure is wondering where it's mommy is. The dog, a Labrador mix, was found wandering in the parking lot of a convenience store 3 days after Meredith's disappearance and was identified by an implanted microchip.

Police Dog Victim of Animal Cruelty

This story made me cringe. The perpetrator was in the country illegally in addition to other crimes.
