Richard Gere and Joan Allen star in the movie Hachi. But the real star of the movie is the dog who plays the most loyal dog I could have ever imagined. The film is based on the true story of Hachiko, a dog during the 1920s, who became famous in Japan for his incredible loyalty to his master. It’s a great family movie that will p...Read More
Disney’s Secretariat is a movie for any horse lover. My daughter loves horses. When she heard about the movie, she jumped up and down, smiled and said she was going to see the movie.
Then, I showed her the new poster with the jockey on Secretariat. We really like this poster because you can see the drive of ...Read More
Pets are a wonderful and enriching part of our daily lives, but how do you keep mementos of those happy times for years to come?
Some people do a number of things from scrapbooks to photo sessions, but one way that is a lot of fun (at least for the human, anyway) is making a cement impression of your pets pawprints.
They actually sell kits f...Read More
After a year and a half of being unemployed, I recently went back to work. Going back to work meant less socialization with Cammie the Guinea Pig. Between working all day, racing from one activity to another, and fun time outside of the house, Miss Cammie hasn't been getting the excercise outside of her that she's use to. One d...Read More

Every year, on Independence Day, the county’s local paper The Daily Tribune offers a Pet Parade gallery where citizens submit photographs of their pets being patriotic. This means putting them in clothing of a red, whi...Read More
Video games have tried to simulate owning and loving a pet for years. The millions upon millions of Tamagotchis, Nintendogs, and Petz sold worldwide are proof of the demand for pet simulators. While lacking the visceral charms of real animals, these games have their advantages, most notably the fact that virtual animals cost less and don’t le...Read More
Many people who have pets often debate whether or not to let them sleep with you in the same bed for many reasons. Considering half of all Americans with dogs let them sleep on their beds at night, it is something that is bound to come up at some point. And the reasons people do sleep in the same bed as their pets are all unique- perhaps t...Read More
As the Western obesity epidemic has spread from people to their pets, the subsequent fitness craze has followed. Companies have seized upon this opportunity by manufacturing treadmills specifically for pets. These machines work under the same principle as human treadmills-- walking against a moving track to build strength and burn calories-- exc...Read More
Have you ever wondered what it must be like for dogs and cats to be left alone for hours at a time while you go to work, visit friends and family, or run errands? If you are like me, you feel really bad, even guilty about leaving your loving pet behind.
Some pet owners leave the TV on so their pets won't feel so alone....Read More

Unfortunately, April 18th falls on a Sunday ...Read More
Dogs evolved to follow the scent of prey with their wonderful sense of smell. They have 200 million cells that help them smell to our paltry 5 million. Tracking dogs can easily follow the scent of a human by sniffing up a few skin cells off the road, sidewalk, or trail. Amazingly, they can lean out of a car window and pick up the ...Read More

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a dog? Lazy afternoons relaxing, chasing your tail, not having to work, and getting to do fun things? What about being a sled dog and pulling other people around?
That’s just the idea someone had, so they created the ‘Human Sled Dog Competition’, specifically as a means to have A LOT o...Read More
Have you been watching any of the 2010 Westminster Kennel Club this year. While I am unable to watch all of the show, I do like to check in throughout the event to see the dogs and their handlers in the ring. I enjoy seeing how the dogs are shown and how they are moved through their paces to best show off each breed.

Balls, Balls, and more balls! My dogs love their balls and even though they end up losing them somwhere in the woods or yard, or even under the couch for a time, I am always on the look out for new balls to add to their daily routine and for playtime.
This company, Boomer Ball, has a great selection of balls that are t...Read More

-Since the weather is starting to get a little bit warmer outside, an early morning or...Read More
Dogs need the stimulation both work and play. Surprisingly, playing soccer with your dog can combine these two important components. Most high-energy dogs need some sort of exercise regimen to help with their behavior habits and well being. Soccer is a great sport to play with herding breeds and puppies. It burns energy, and encourages &ld...Read More
If you are a dog owner, you don’t need to be convinced that your relationship with your canine companion is beneficial to you both. After more than 14,000 years of human beings keeping dogs as pets, there is no question that owning a dog must have benefits for both parties. Today, almost 40% of Australians and 37% of Americans enjoy these ...Read More
Canicross - What is it? Canicross is the dryland sport of running or walking with your dog. Both the human and canine athlete wear specially designed harnesses and are attached to each other by a bungee line. Walking or running with your dog on a leash is not technically canicross, as canicross is primarily a hands-free activity.

Our pets are often left alone for hours and hours at a time. For small furry pets that live in cages or aquariums we might not think that they get bored and lonely like a cat or dog, but their lives can become quite boring and unexciting as well. Take a wheel away from your hamster and just see how quickly they will start biting and tear...Read More

In the LED art project sponsored by Samsung, these very patient sheep herders attached LED lights to the back of sheep which are then herded to create formations made up of LED ...Read More
It's something cat owners do many times a day, everyday, usually without even thinking about it - pet their cat. It is probably the most personal, and intimate way we regularly interact with our kitty. Why do we do it? Why do we both enjoy it? How does it benefit ourselves and our cats? What is the power of petting?

In today's society, we're all a little addicted to television. Think of all the time spent lounging around with your pooch on the couch next to you. Is he watching TV with you or just spacing out next to you?
Studies show that most pet owners do believe their pets watch TV with them. And a study from the American Kenn...Read More

1. Bake Gingerbread Dog Treats
Share some quality time while baking your pet holiday inspired treats.
Use festive gingerbread-men cookie cutters and cream cheese as white “frosting” for a treat that is decorative, but also healthy. Peanut butter can also be used as a “frosting” to add decorative accents. All-natural-dog...Read More
This photograph is a little dark, but you can see that Desi is clearly interested in reading the paper. Over the weekend I took him for a walk around Villa Vicente, and then downtown, where we ran into another bulldog. I've seen this bulldog before, it's a very good-looking one and is red and white in color. I believe it's an English bulldog,...Read More
So your pooch can sit, stay and maybe even fetch. But what if he could ride a surfboard or a skateboard? Some amazing pets can do just that! These dogs can ride the waves and carve like the best of them. Try it with your own pet if you feel inspired!
DOGS THAT SURF

Yesterday the gutter guys were here cleaning and Desi ran around the house with them. He always thinks working men are here are for his entertainment. He hates the ladders and barks a mean bark at them, which makes the workmen think he is going to bite them. His bark is far worse then his bite though. Duffy next door was out in front yesterd...Read More
Here is Desi fresh from the groomer's with a little bow tie on in order to get in the festive spirit. As you can probably tell from his hangdog expression, he's not always fond of these costumes or other accessories that infringe. Today we watched a wonderful Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, "A Dog Named Christmas" which aired on CBS this past Sun...Read More
Here is a photograph of Desi being very well behaved indeed. Most of the time he tires himself out and then sits with his eyes half closed, falling asleep while sitting up. It's very precious. I met another sweet puppy last night named Rocky. Rocky is only ten weeks old and is a boxer puppy- I couldn't believe how well behaved he was. He al...Read More

Even though Desmond doesn't have much fur covering him, he still seems to shrink in the bath. For a dog that loves water, he sure does not love the bath. Maybe it's because he's being forced into it, instead of getting in at his leisure like at the lake. I understand his stubborn tendencies- I can be stubborn myself. He should be able to mak...Read More
Good morning Yeepetters!
Dogs are smart and curious and loves to play! My dog currently knows a thing or two about games. Every single time I come home, he wants to play. He would bring his rope, stuff animal, or anything he thinks is a toy to me. When I reach out to get it, he runs off taunting me to go chase him. So, realizi...Read More
Here is a great story of a woman who loved cats and dogs, decided there was a need for better quality pet food, opened a store, and became a success.
Janene Zakrajsek, who lives in Los Angeles, CA, had started out in design and marketing before she noticed that there was a need in her area for high quality pet food. Shortly afte...Read More
The photograph that goes along with this blog shows Desi with one of his favorite toys. He loves his stuffed animals to pieces, literally. We often engage in tug-of-wars where he holds onto one end of them, and I hold onto the other. Recently we watched "Bolt" the movie together, and it's amazing how he perks right up and begins barking at th...Read More
Spite and guilt are not part of a dog's emotional repertoire. Dogs live in the here and now, and revenge is not in their gene pool.
As for barking, chewing, and digging, well, they are natural, normal behaviors, part of every dog's DNA. Dogs who do that stuff are just being dogs. The fact that we'd rather these "job skills" never be trotted out...Read More
Hi guys! Yesterday was so fun because Poochie won in a dog fashion model and she's the "2009 Dog Model". I'm so proud of my dog because she really knows that many people are watching nad then she show what she's got in terms of modeling, hahaha..
She's so cute that everybody takes pictures of her during the contest. I made her beautiful costume...Read More
Desi took a walk by Golden Pond today with me- he's very brave and knows no fear, wandering right up onto the Gazebo. I think he's very regal and stately, definitely a Winston Churchillesque character. Today while raking some leaves he sat on the lawn chair like a little king enjoying the sun while I slaved away like his servant. He loves the...Read More

Good Morning Yeepets!
Today we are taking a trip down to Venice Beach to enjoy some fun on the boardwalk and also a dog friendly restaurant where Bruna could sit in the chair and then to the Venice Dawg Park to hang with all the local dawgs! I like to bring a water bowl and keep it in the car so Bruna can have a drink at our desti...Read More
Desi, my sweet bulldog, never fails to run for the mail. Even though the mail carrier has changed and is no longer Bev, he still listens for the sound of the truck every day. Like clockwork he runs out- it's amazing how much animals are creatures of habit.
It's also amazing how quickly those habits can change. When my friend Jessie retur...Read More
From the makers of Hoops the cat and YoYo The Bunny, Hallmark has some great halloween e-cards for you to send to your family members!
