Just like that video of Giant Pandas being born, quick thinking cameramen similarly snatched the birth of this rare Masai giraffe at Safari West in Santa Rosa, CA. Entering the world on Sept. 3 to proud mama, Jamala, and first-time dad, Tufani, the 130-pound babe is still nameless. Learn more about him in this video and, if you're feeling extra inspired, share some moniker ideas of your very own in the comments below.
While I generally love their products (especially that scratchy cat cube we gave away in July), I'd have to see this product up close to be certain — it looks slightly less stable for vigorous scratchers but still sleek nonetheless. When it's finally up for sale, will you be buying one for your furry felines?
The final product of my Get the Grooming Goods series is the Love Glove ($13) (pardon the name). This grooming glove removes a furry friend's loose hair and debris while you are gently petting him . . . something you'd be doing anyway, right?! The soft rubber tips massage his skin, stimulating natural oils and making it easier to get at those normally hard-to-reach spots like legs, bellies, and tails.
It's not just for your pet, though! Learn where else you can use this product when you read more
My local vet treats both puppies and kitties, and I've never even seen feline-only doctor's offices. However, as a dog owner, I've not given much thought to the present stressors – unfamiliar smells and barking – for cats coming in for treatment.In a recent article in Dolittler, they explained several situations where feline families may be best served by a cat-only facility:
Not only are feline practitioners, on average, more likely to be up-to-date on issues like vaccine protocols and cat-specific approaches to medicine and handling, but the atmosphere is typically serene compared to dog and cat facilities.
They're not found in every city but, if you had the option, would you bring your precious pets to one of these?
There's nothing I love more than a Boston Terrier (there's one in particular that's especially close to my heart, obviously), but two Bostons are definitely better than one! I bet Lucky and Jesse do everything together – like little smooshy twins!

Although we are all still feverishly voting for Samson in the Worldwide Fido Awards here at Sugar HQ, I realize his category isn't really one that you could label as a "talent." Cute? Absolutely. But as beauty goes, it's more of a gift than an achievement!
But there are some pets that perform truly amazing tricks, stunts, and feats. Is your pet gifted like Tillman from Greatest American Dog – who can ride a skateboard better than most humans? Have you considered submitting your pet for David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks? Tell us what talent your pet holds in the comments below!
