It's a Dog's World: Fun at the 2009 World's Ugliest Dog Contest
Variety is the spice of life, and thankfully we got a taste at this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma. The winner wasn't a Chinese Crested (like it has been in past contests), but a Boxer mix named Pabst who walked away with the blue ribbon and stole the hearts of the crowd with his huge underbite. But for me, the World's Ugliest Dog Contest wouldn't be complete without a stroll through the barns and coops of the other furry (and non-furry) animals that take their place at the fair.
Breed Spotlight: Dogue de Bordeaux
So big, wrinkled, and smooshy to boot, say hello to newest breed to be entered in the Westminster Dog Show. Although originally classified into three varieties, the Parisian, the Toulouse and the Bordeaux depending on the region of France and the jobs they were required to do, today this breed's known simply as the Dogue de Bordeaux (or even more simply as the French Mastiff).
The fawn colored working dogs weigh in over 100 pounds and serve as good guard dogs as well as attached and affectionate companions to a master.
Do Tell: Would You Try to Raise a Vegetarian (or Vegan) Pet?
I certainly don't know many kitties that would turn down some fresh fish as a treat . . .
I've Got Much Love for Much Love
Even though we've wrapped up our wedding content, seeing these fab pictures from Much Love Animal Rescue's Second Annual "Bow Wow WOW!" reminded me of my BFF's wedding a couple years back. Instead of going the traditional registry route for presents, they requested that guests donate to this same rescue organization for unwanted or abused animals.
Do Tell: Have You Owned "Exotic Pets" As a Child?
Now a hamster's hardly an exotic pet in my mind but, according to a recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under the age of five shouldn't own any exotic animals – including those furry rodents!
Turns out lizards, tiny turtles, lil chicks, and even hamsters can transmit Salmonella to kiddies. Now, it's hard for me to figure out where the "under five" comes in, but the study says it's due in part to the fact that they often touch animals then touch their mouths, kiss creatures, or don't wash their hands after coming in contact with the pets.
Five Fun Zoo Cams to Keep You Occupied!
I looooove webcams, and I've got some time to kill before the Fourth of July fun gets started. If you're also sitting around waiting for the food to be grilled, now's a great time to check out some live zoo action. To be fair, I've included a variety of creatures as well as three cams with baby animals .
Do Tell: Combining Furry Families With a Partner?
Now, seems like we can all agree about choosing to date (or marry) an animal lover, but what about a fellow pet owner? Although I adore my pooch, have dated a fair share of dog (and cat!) lovers, and enjoy meeting new animals, I'm not sure North could handle sharing our home with another furball. In fact, my friends joke that I'd come back and there could very well be one dog left standing .
