Do Tell: Could Your Dog Climb a Ladder?
Summer's officially over. Sigh. I like to think North and I are best suited for dry-land adventures (or boat trips, of course), but this Boston Terrier gives me hope.
Does Your Cat Love Baths Like Laifu?
North doesn't mind a rub-a-dub in the tub every couple weeks, but even I couldn't lure my guy in the bath three times a week like this kitty! Five year-old Laifu from China can't get enough of the bubbly water of bath time, which is completely contrary to what many cat lovers can expect. I know my favorite cat gals use dry shampoo for their felines, and only attempt the water bath when absolutely necessary but maybe they're the exception, not the rule!
Found! Dolce and Gabbana's Dogs Enjoy Cool Water
Must be a nice life, spending the weekend on a boat in Portofino, Italy! These super swimmers set sail with some fashionable dads, (Domenico) Dolce and (Stefano) Gabbana. With special harnesses for easy lifting back onto the boat, the two retrievers look like pro swimmers and retrievers, naturally.

For the Thirsty Pet (And His Thirsty Family) . . .
Even though I don't offer my pooch bottled water, I definitely know the importance of keeping his liquid fresh (and the dangers when it's not). Since I also appreciate the taste of cold, filtered water, I know I've always wished I had a dispenser like this in my place. Am I alone?
PetSugar Street Team: Dublin Dogs Make DIY Baths Easier!
My pal likes to bring Io to the DIY bath station at a local pet shop but complained to me that her dog's collar always gets all wet (during the washing process) and smelly (during the drying process). So I recommended this chic Dublin Dog version instead.
Made of a polymer blend (read: rubbery), they don't absorb moisture, retain dirt, or harbor bacteria when they get soiled or soaked.
Try This Trick to See If Your Cat's Dehydrated!
Wow, there were so many great suggestions for that kitty who just wouldn't drink! We can all agree that it's an important problem that should be addressed pronto, and I'd like to give a special thank you to TsuKata for offering this tip from the vet who shared it with her after she had a cat that refused water. She writes:
Grab at the kitty's loose skin a little, not a pinch, just a gentle grasp that moves the skin up.
Pet Peeves: Kitty Will Not Drink!
Q: I don't think my new kitten Belle is drinking! She eats her food but I've yet to catch her taking a sip of water in the two weeks since she's joined my home. I've even started marking the outside of the bowl so I can see if any disappears while I'm at work, but I see little to no difference.
