It's true, Summer is winding down, but I'm still seeing tons of boating and beach trips in the Pet Pics group! Evidently, it's been a great season for pets getting outdoors and discovering new activities.
In this piccy, Princess is on her first boating trip, and obviously she's having a ball! It just warms my little heart when I see photos of animals smiling. Say cheese!
Congrats to Princess and TxRdRaider for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to send in your photos of your furry family to our Pet Pics group – they may be featured on the pages of PetSugar!
The name says it all, but that's kinda what scares me! With an embedded rope toy for fetch and tug, Shooey Chewie ($16) looks suspiciously like the sole of my galoshes. Although North hates shoes, some people (like LC) have pups that enjoy eating footwear. Would you pick this up or be concerned that it may make Fido chomp your boots, too?
I think this guy looks like he belongs on a Christmas tree, but this sea crab is just one of the hundreds of new sea creatures discovered off the coast of Tasmania. From crabs to starfish to octopus, these new species were recorded in two separate mile-deep voyages in 2006 and 2007.
Not only did voyagers find new species of animals under the sea, they also discovered miles of coral that is thought to be about 2,000 years old, providing life and food to many creatures. Lead scientist Nic Bax, a marine biologist with Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization talks about the discovery in a recent interview saying,"We know very little about the deep sea. Finding out how much live coral is down there, and how large those communities are, is very exciting."
Wild horses couldn't drag me away from sharing another idiom quiz – do you think you have horse sense (hint: it's a good thing)? Test yourself in this quiz.
I know, I know. Not all cats like toys. Friends with finicky felines have told me that the material of a toy makes all the difference so I've scoped out these adoro birdy designs with three different textures . . . all filled with magical catnip.
I cannot resist a bizarre holiday . . . umm, remember my celebration of National Hat Day?! Anyway, I just discovered another one but I can't seem to hone in on a date. National Moment of Frustration Day takes place sometime between Oct. 10-13, so let's honor it today by venting. I'll go first . . . I wish my pooch did not loooooooove company as much as he does. He's so mellow with just me and I wish he could extend that attitude no matter who visits from my BFF or close pals to any maintenance or delivery person. My little scene stealer needs to be in the spotlight whenever a new audience shows up and hates leaving the room with the most action. Now it's your turn – share your biggest pet peeve in the comments below.
Naomi Watts has a baby on board in addition to Bags on Board when taking her two cute pups for a jaunt in Soho over the weekend. Ned (the Cocker Spaniel) and Bob (the Yorkie) look pretty chill so the one-handed technique seems to be working well for this walkie.
Now, I notice both dogs have matching leashes – if you've got more than one pooch, do you buy unique leads for each furry friend or do you buy the same one in multiples? Share in the comments below after seeing a couple more pictures when you read more
