My Goldfish Ate My Catfish

Possible Native American Pet Charity Phone Scam
The other day I got a call begging money for pets of Native American tribes. The woman on the phone talked really fast and insisted I give her $100. I told her I couldn't at this time. She replied, "When would be a good time for you to give ...

Confession of a Best Friends Supporter
I stopped watching "Dogtown" in March. I still support Best Friends, which I discovered through "Dogtown", but now find the show far too heartbreaking to watch. It was seeing dogs in Ethiopia get thrown down a pit and left for dead...

Dog Fancy Sucks
I guess after reading a title like that you could accurately guess that I'm not the bigest fan of Dog Fancy magazine, which is just about the most popular dog magazine in the United States. I used to be a subscriber, but last year got into a heated...

Great Way to Protect the Dog: Act Like a Lunatic
A couple of posts ago I wrote about seeing a drunk woman kick her dog -- so I reported it to the police. She found out. My dog, Pony, only barks at certain people and she's one of them. Pony is in a secure fenced-in yard and has never been able to...

Do Hamsters Have Belly Buttons?

Why Should An Easter Seals Worker Drive a Lexus?
Sadly, that's not the start of the latest joke. My Mom knowns a woman that wears designer clothes and drives a Lexus because she has a high paying gig at Easter Seals. I had assumed Easter Seals was a charity -- but it's a charity just to make...

Animal Charity Scam?
Last time, I mentioned concerns I had with a West Coast horse charity that sends me beggy-beggy letters every week. I'm not going to reveal which charity it is in case it happens to be a legitamate charity. I sent them a donation earlier this year...

Animal Charities -- Please Stop Sharing Doner Lists
Animal charities have an undeservedly bad reputation as being fanatics or being rabid or being rabidly fanatical. Animal-hating people gleefully pounce on the slightest stumble any animal charity does. In order to make animal charities look better in...

Nightmares
I've had nightmares since the womb but the ones I've been having this week have been real doosies. The fun part is that they repeat. I can wake up, think "Oh, it was just a dream, then," fall back alseep and go right back into the nightmare...

Thinking of Protesting a Philadelphia Eagles Game? Think Again
Sadly, the Philadelphia Eagles announced today that they are so desperate that they are signing Michael Vick , convicted of dogfighting. This means that animal rights ativists galore are going to be drawn like magnets to protest Eagles games. I've...

Like Owner, Like Dog
If you look at the dates of the posts for this blog, you'll notice that there's a big gap in between posts. I was socked by one health problem after another at that time. The absolute creepiest problem was a sebaceous cyst . It was on my left...

Should I Get A Gun To Protect My Dog
I saw a drunk woman walking her dog on my street begin to kick her dog on his hind legs and back end. I didn't think twice -- I called the police and reported it. I do think it's important that if you witness animal abuse, you report it . However...

Soaring in Big Lick Tennesse Walking Horses
Make no mistake -- soaring any horse is cruel. What is soaring? It's done by some (not all ) trainers of Tennesse Walking Horses (and sometimes other gaited breeds) in order to force the horse to perform exaggerated gaits in order to win trophies...
