Although not our favorite new puppy of '08, here's that baby Shiba Inu we've spotted with Kelly Osbourne in recent months. While I'm happy to see any pup, it's not the first time I've spotted a celebrity pet in the arms of an owner . . . with no leash in sight.Even though I'm one to scoop North up if I see something unsavory in our path, I don't think I'm brave enough to leave the house with him in my arms and no leash snapped on for security. Nevermind that this dog will soon be too big for such choices, but would you ever do like Kelly Osbourne does here?
This is the way dogs prefer to lounge: on their backs, tongues wagging, with someone close by to scratch their bellies. Well, that certainly is the case for Chilli anyway!

Next up, let's focus on a way to Give Back something you love – Have any passions you could share with your local shelter, animal care and control, humane society or rescue? Say, for example, you tried to find volunteer or donation information on their website . . . only to realize that they don't have one. Here are a couple talents you could use to help them get the word out:
Web designers: Offer to help improve or set up a website for needy shelters. PS, it's easier than ever to get them started using our very own OnSugar platform.
Mickey Rourke picked up the award for Best Actor last night at the Golden Globes, and gave a very special shout-out. Now I haven't seen The Wrestler yet, but I've been hearing all about his big comeback in this film, and I totally teared up during the speech. At the very end, he thanks all his pups, present and passed, because "sometimes, when a man's alone, that's all you've got is your dog." Awwww. Check out his entire acceptance speech when you read more
So I'll admit that I am the type to look at pictures first, read later. So when I pulled up kelmel's entry in the Pet Pics group, I thought it was hilarious that her dog looked like her duster. That is, until I read her caption to find out that her "duster" is her pup Yuki, and he's just playing with an empty Christmas wrapping paper roll. I love it.
Congrats to Yuki and kelmel for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Don't forget to submit your favorite snapshots to our Pet Pics group — you may find your little critters on the pages of PetSugar, too!
Let's tackle a common problem with doggies in cold-weather climates – especially in cities where bathroom breaks come in the form of walks on snowy sidewalks. Even North was hesitant about potty time in Winter, preferring to do his business where there was the least amount of slush to trudge through (usually the curb). If you've also had (or still have!) this problem, let's come up with ways to help pups get over it or solutions to at least make it a lil easier on them in the meantime.
Even though I'm one to scoop North up if I see something unsavory in our path, I don't think I'm brave enough to leave the house with him in my arms and no leash snapped on for security.
