Does Your Dog Have a Favorite Tennis Ball Size?
Let's get the ball rolling in '09! It's important to have the right tennis toss for those wintry afternoons of catch with your pet. That's not to say all animal sizes won't get a kick out of the standard ball, but the small tennies are more catch-worthy for lil mouths where they could be a choking hazard to the big dogs.
Are Your Pets Frenzied Fetchers?
North would definitely chase what I throw (or stomp) for him, but it often turns into tug o' war/keep-away to get it back to re-toss. How about your pets? Do they freely fetch, sometimes test it out, or simply wait for you to bring it back like a civilized person?
Bring the US Open Love Home!
Today marks the start of the US Open (which coincidentally coincided six years ago today when I brought North home to NYC)! To celebrate the beginning of this event, I'm rounding up the first round thing to come to mind . .
Bare Bones: Best Balls
Dogs love toys. North likes almost any kind of ball he can get his teeth into. But other furry creatures love playing with toys, too!

Greatest American Dog Recap: My Chat With Teresa!
With just one (!) more episode of Greatest American Dog, I got the chance to chat with Teresa, who was eliminated last week with her Border Collie, Leroy. We talked about her water-loving pup, and I got her side of the story on those controversial snarl bands. Learn all about Leroy's barking, his new BFF, and much more in the interview below.
Add Another Contest To Your Calendar: Bissell Pet Games
If your pet can do some amazing tricks (other than scarfing down his food in five seconds flat) then I have a contest for you! The Bissell Pet Games Video Contest is looking for talented pets that perform, and thankfully, this is one contest you can feel good about participating in – the grand prizewinner gets $10,000 donated to the charity of their choice! The winner will also be featured on Bissell product cartons, and have his name in lights on Animal Planet.
Happy Birthday, North: Location, Location, Location
While I haven't given North a party in years, this year needs to be special – he's our resident celebripup on the site after all! There are so many options for having a doggie-friendly event – like Molly's party for Oliver's first birthday last year – and it's easy to get bogged down by the details.
After deliberating about North's fiesta for weeks, I've settled on an intimate gathering at a friend's backyard!
Worst. Cat. Names. Ever.
I came across a compiled list of "real" cat names that pretty much take the cake for worst ever. I got a chuckle reading through, just cause some of them are just that bad. I can't say that I was the best pet namer as a youngster, but at least I didn't name our family cat "Scaredy."
Friday Mythbuster: What Colors Do Doggies See?
I don't know about you, but I definitely give consideration to what color toy, harness, and bed I choose for my pet. Now, it's not because I truly believe he prefers a turquoise harness, indigo ball, or lime-green pinstripes on his chocolate-brown bed, I would just rather the stuff match my apartment (neurotic, I know). I can't tell what colors North's eyes see, but there's much research (and many misconceptions) about which colors, if any, are visible to doggies.
