Out and About: New York's Buttercup's PAW-tisserie
Buttercup's PAW-tisserie is often featured in my pet snack or people snack quizzes because they stock (and bake) some of the cutest animal yums around! This gourmutt dog bakery specializes in freshly baked, all natural and healthy treats with no added sugar, salt, or preservatives. They use only the highest quality, human-grade ingredients like fresh meat, roasted peanuts, organic carrots, fresh spinach, and carob and all biscuits are handmade, rolled, cut and then slow baked to perfection.
Out and About: New York's Prospect Park
Brooklyn’s Prospect Park is just one of the many parks in New York that's open to dogs, but it also features an especially cohesive community of pet lovers. They've joined to form local organization, FIDO (Fellowship in the Interest of Dogs and their Owners), and welcome off-leashed dogs on the first Sunday of every month for coffee, goodies, and good, ol’ fun for the pooches to help spread the word about animal-related news, rules, and other events. The park itself features many wide-open, roaming spaces with off-leash hours (in the evenings and early mornings), and even has a Dog Beach for those Summer nights.

Quick-Thinking Zookeepers Save Woman From Hungry Bears
Last Friday, a 32-year-old woman leaped a fence and scaled a wall to jump into a Berlin Zoo enclosure holding four polar bears (including Knut). Six zookeepers attempted to distract the bears, but she was still bitten several times by one of the creatures. Even though it was their normal feeding time, she was able to be pulled out safely – minus those injuries – and was rushed to the hospital for surgery.
True Tails: My Dog Has Lyme Disease!
You may be wondering why I've been going a tad tick crazy on the site during the Dog Days of Summer. Well, there's a reason. Last week when chatting with a pal in NYC, she shared a scary story about her rescued Rottie mix, Jack.
Pet Peeves: Children Sticking Hands in My Dog's Face!
My friend passed along this frustrating tale of walking her dog in Brooklyn over the weekend, and I wanted to share her story with you and get your take on the right and wrong . . .
Breaking News! Dog Bite May Cost JLo $5 Million!
All I can say is wow: In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Brooklyn, former flight attendant Lisa Wilson claims she was attacked by a German Shepherd belonging to Jennifer Lopez on a plane trip nearly two years ago! This former flight attendant is seeking $5 million in damages and lost wages as a result of this attack as the back injuries (and surgery) prevented her from working anymore.
The shocking event allegedly happened on July 3, 2006 on a private Gulfstream IV jet leaving from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, LI when private airline company, NetJets, assigned Wilson to this flight headed to California's Burbank Airport.
Bare Bones: Kept Pet Beds
From time to time I find some really great stuff while cruising around on Etsy. Whether it be unique doggie duds, or a totally awesome handmade cat tree for those kitties, I always get pangs of jealousy from the crafty folk with time to whip up interesting and (quite durable) pet goods on their own.
Take the beds from Kept Pets ($80-$120), for example – these handmade pet pillows are perfect for those lazy Sundays on the porch, or after a full day at the dog park.
What Do You Know About Beagles?
Everyone's howling about the hounds this week following Uno's big win at the 132nd Westminster Dog Show. Now I've got a couple Beagle pals of my own – Oski, Brooklyn, and Cleo – and those baying barkers sure make me smile. Am I the only one who was dying to learn a little more about the award-winning breed?
New Pouch Potato Alert!
The birth of baby animals is super exciting and, when it's a kangaroo, it's a hopping good time! Brooklyn's Prospect Park Zoo announced the arrival of a new 'roo last Friday. The still-nameless marsupial is temporarily going by the classic moniker, Joey until zoo officials can get a closer look to determine a more gender-appropriate name.
LL's Puppy Rehab Not Going As Well As Planned
Lindsay certainly looks hot (and she seems to know it) on the cover of GQ's Sex Issue, but when we saw the shots we had a sneaking suspicion that they're not new pics. As we suspected, these sexy shots were taken back in the fall when Lindsay was posing for the Obsession Of The Year issue (as seen in the video after the jump) and recycled for the new issue of the mag. For the interview, however, GQ caught up with Lohan more recently and talked to her about post-rehab life.
