The Scoop: There's Less to Love With Micro Pigs

PetSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:50:15 -0700

It's a pig party! Now we've seen cute little oinkers here, before but the latest pet craze over in the UK are micropigs, bred down from a mixture of the miniature potbellied pig, Tamworth, Kune Kune, and Gloucester Old Spot varieties. Fanciers say they can be easily litter-box trained, grow equivalent to a medium-sized dog (45-60 pounds), and are fine for allergy sufferers since they have hair not fur. There are a couple catches: they must be sold in pairs - double trouble? - and, at this time, only overseas.

Do you think micropigs will eventually make it big, or should I say small, Stateside? Just don't go making any swine flu jokes around the lil ones.

Naptime Foiled, Baby Plays Footsie With Puppy's Face

PetSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:00:04 -0700

Patience is surely this pup's virtue - look how unfazed Chi Chi is by baby feet all up in his face. I don't think the pooch is really being "abused," but I'm stunned by his sloppy-kiss response to the toesies on his head. If nothing else, here's another example of why parents shouldn't let babies and puppies play unsupervised, since many dogs would not be so . . . receptive to this interference. Do you find the video simply silly or so shocking?

Do Tell: Do Your Pets Open Boxes?

My lil boy will open a present on command but I can't see him digging into a box! I'm totally impressed by the chompers on this Boston:

Would your pups (or cats!) dive in teeth or claws first and act as your furry package and letter openers, too?

Lucky Cat With Nine Lives Survives 26-Story Fall

PetSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:00:25 -0700

As the saying goes, "curiosity killed the cat," but fortunately for this kitty, it's not the rule. Three-year-old (and appropriately named) Lucky squeezed through his owner's open widow last month, and after teetering on the edge of the outside window ledge, fell 26 stories and walked away (literally) with only minor injuries.

We already know that falling is one of the top 10 ways that pets break bones, but lucky Lucky must have bones of steel! Learn why it's actually good that Lucky fell from such a high floor, along with some stomach-turning photos of the incident, in the video above.

Sadie Makes Her Doggy Debut on Oprah!

PetSugar — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:00:42 -0800

I was pretty anxious to sneak a peek at Oprah's new pup, and was so jealous of my mom, who got to catch Sadie's national debut on East Coast time. Well, everyone, her cuteness is well worth the wait. Although the pooch was named Amanda in the shelter, Oprah's calling her new Cocker Spaniel Sadie. (That name change should be no problem if she follows my tips on the subject.) Seems like the puppy was struggling to adjust in her new, very loving home but looks rather content now - see for yourself in the video below!

Even though Oprah brought out Sadie's three brothers who are all available for adoption at PAWS Chicago, there are nearly 2,000 adoptable Cocker Spaniels and cocker mixes available on Petfinder.com across the country.

What Motivates Beethoven To Act?

PetSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:30:47 -0800

I've always wondered how animal trainers safely get pets to act as we see them on-screen – especially when what they're doing looks dangerous! Why am I not that surprised to see what the key variable is?! Find out for yourself in this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the making of Beethoven's Big Break (coming out on DVD on Dec. 26).

Who Did North Vote For?

PetSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:45:51 -0800

Remember those political toys of "Bark Obama" and "John McCanine"? Well, before I voted, I decided to let North cast his ballot at home. Watch this video and tell me which toy he preferred. (It obviously doesn't need to correspond with our actual picks.)

Hmmm, both got kisses from my friendly pup. Maybe he wants a third-party candidate (an unknown dipped in peanut butter)? We'll have to wait and see the results!

Is This the World's Ugliest Dolphin?

PetSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:00:29 -0700

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I wanna hear it from you: do you think this bulbous-headed snub fin dolphin is properly called the "world's ugliest dolphin?"

At first glance, it made me think of a victim of a Looney Tunes random act of violence where an animal gets somehow smushed up but still lives to go on. What do you think about the species?
