Earlier today my fiance' and I took a trip to the Santa Monica Cat Show, an annual Los Angeles event put on by the Cat Fancier's Association. Though she had always been a cat lover, this was my first trip to a cat show, because before two years ago I had never owned a cat and couldn't fathom why people would be so obsessed with the animals. On...Read More
This is the first in what I hope will be many blogs dedicated to pet-related holidays. I just missed this one, so I figured it would make a good starting point. There are weird and wacky days and weeks and months dedicated to animals throughout the year and I hope to highlight some of them here.

Walk with Harley today during high noon was just about the Funniest part of my day, but not as funny or just about the same as getting stuck for a mere 10 seconds in Bart’s sliding automatic doors I said AHHH !
Instead of just walking and having him run, I let him go chase the ball I threw for him. He didn’t seem to get...Read More
The self-proclaimed happiest place on Earth is about to get happier-- for animals, at least.

An unsettling case of animal cruelty occurred a week ago in Cape Cod, Maine, when a wild coyote was found caged in a local couple's apartment. Responding to several tips, police encountered the animal in unsanitary conditions, a stench of waste so strong that later inspectors entered the apartment with breathing equipment. The coyote, a female n...Read More
As much as people love monkeys and even want them as pets, they are still wild animals that can be dangerous if provoked. Hamilton County, Indiana was reminded of this the hard way when Enjo, a 7-year-old Patas monkey owned by resident Bobbi Phelan, escaped his cage and attacked her teenaged son. The 15-year-old boy received only a minor cut to ...Read More
If a human being was found stealing the underwear of his neighbors, he would certainly not be well received. He would be considered a disgusting pervert, and even if his legal punishment was lenient, his community would never treat him with respect again. So when over seventy pairs of clothing were stolen in a neighborhood South Hampton, England...Read More
The images are designed to inflame our anger and tug at our hearts. Severely matted dogs, wounded cats and emaciated horses linger on the television screen and in our minds. Throughout the ninety second infomercial, celebrity voices plead with us to open our hearts, and our wallets, to save these poor creatures.
The Humane So...Read More
The adverse effects of heat upon a dog inside a closed space are well known, as seen by the tragic fates of animals left in cars. However, a hot day can be dangerous to an dog outdoors as well. Even environmental heat and humidity can cause dogs symptoms such as dizziness, dehydration, stomach problems, and in the worst cases, heat stroke. Dogs ...Read More
The attachment people have to their pets can’t be overstated, so obviously a pet owner is going to be concerned when they see their animal sniffling. They will likely start worrying about how bad it could be, and prepare themselves for the worst case scenarios. However, while owners should watch their pets’ health, they shouldn’t necessari...Read More
A friend sent me this video link about a service dog -- I thought, oh another nice story of how a service dog is raised, trained and changes the life of someone special who needs the help. But this one was different - this is about a service dog that didn't quite fit the mold, and who was going to be dismissed from the program - until the ...Read More
At this point in the 21st century, the negative effects of tobacco are so extensively documented that nobody can light a cigarette without being aware of the damage they’re doing to themselves.

They mu...Read More
It’s a common fact that Americans are fatter than ever, to the point of a much-discussed ( and still unresolved ) obesity epidemic. Unfortunately, not even American pets have been spared from the health problems of our over-indulgence. A poll of American veterinarians showed that 45 percent of the dogs and 57 percent of the cats that enter the...Read More
If PETA is known for anything amongst popular culture, even more than the ethical treatment of animals, it’s known for calling attention to animal rights issues with the most ridiculous, overblown, and even unethical campaigns.

Of all the dubiously legal things a person could smuggle aboard an airplane, a cat or small dog is one of the least threatening-- and one of the most common. Travellers will frequently pack their animals into their carry-on luggage, tucking them away in bags or under blankets. Some will even go so far to t...Read More
What do you think of when you hear the word ferret? Perhaps you think of a ferret living in squalor with an animal hoarder and having to fend for themselves? Or maybe even a negative connotation that you might see in the TV, like the old crazy man carrying one on his shoulder?
Not so, anymore. They are becoming quite fashionable among younge...Read More
If you’re wondering why your partner, family, or other live-in loved ones seem more upset to be away from the dogs than from you, don’t bother. And if you feel jealous that your pet gets more attention, don’t act on it, because it’s futile. It’s a perfectly natural response to the unwavering emotional support dogs g...Read More
Even in a down economy, people will go out of their way to see that their animals are well taken care of. And when pet owners have to work longer hours, they’ll find it more important that their pets are in good hands. Hence why American spending on animals has actually increased-- by the American Pet Products Association’s estimate, from ...Read More
For single people with children, wether or not their date warms up to their kids is a deal-breaker ( and vice versa ). Given how much dog owners love their animals, their situation is similar-- a dog may not be as big a commitment as a human child, but if a prospective partner doesn’t respect the other person’s pet and that animal&...Read More

It is a tragic truth, but a no less avoidable one: our beloved pets will not always be with us. They will die and it will bring despair.
It has often been assumed that there is little to be done when this day occurs. Many believe that there will only be shallow rites, inconvenient moments. They assume there is nothing... special to be found....Read More
Here is a part of my yesterday's blog entry, something that really struck me!
"Britain's worst pet
Today I watched a show called "Britain's worst pet" on Animal Planet Channel and I felt the need to say something about it.

The basic logic behind therapeutic dogs is pathetically simple; people who need physical and/or psychological therapy tend to be unhappy, and dogs make people happy. But the methods through which therapy dogs use to help their people are a bit more complex, and are a treatment that only a canine paw can offer.
Interacting with a therapy dog o...Read More
If you were asked to list two things that human beings invariably and universally love, dogs and money would be very certain answers. However, they aren’t necessarily capable of co-existing-- at least as far as Santa Cruz shopkeepers are concerned.

Since humans first domesticated dogs, we’ve been able to think of hundreds of purposes for which to breed them. Unfortunately, the human imagination seems to invariably move towards thinking of ways to fight and kill more effectively, and this goes all the way to dog breeding. The pit bull, a name that spans several breeds of dog designed for ...Read More
The recession has affected virtually everyone, and those most hurt are those who don’t have the agency or resources to take action.

There are many frivolous things dog owners put their pets through-- doggie spas, doggie hair stylists, doggie clothing, and other attempts at fashionable pets that the pets themselves couldn’t care less about. At first, doggie dental braces might seem another attempt to mold the pets into their owner’s ridiculously self-conscious image. H...Read More
I am sure that everyone, at one time or another, has heard of animals being able to sense danger around them, or sickness, or death in humans. It really doesn't matter if is someone close to them or just someone that they happen to be with at the time. They just happen to have this sixth sense in them to have the ability to do that.

My imagination seems to get away from me when thinking of the horrific possibilities that lie ahead for the animals of Haiti. Confused, scared, hungry, trapped, or abandoned, the silver lining for them is tragically far in the distance.

Deciding whether to dock a dog's tail has become more and more controversial.
