Cat Owners Eight Times More Likely to Have MRSA at Home
If you're not familiar with it already, MRSA is a bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics, dangerous because of, well, its drug resistance. The first cases in pets popped up about five years ago in therapy dogs exposed to patients or healthcare workers, but the tables could turn, putting humans in more danger any day.
Typically, humans usually infect pets (and not vice versa), but animals can serve as a reservoir for the bacteria and pass it back to humans.
Oh Snap! Paris Hilton's Dogs Have a Really Ruff Life
Just when you thought you were done envying Paris Hilton's jet-setting, getting-paid-to-party ways, wait until you see how her pooches Tinkerbell, Marilyn Monroe, Prince Baby Bear, Harajuku, Dolce, and Prada live. Life & Style was invited to see their mini-mansion in Beverly Hills. (Yes, they have their own home.) It's a two-story affair complete with air conditioning, closets, and a crystal chandelier.
Dog Swallows an Arrow, but Her Name Isn't Cupid
I said give the dog a bone, not give the dog a bow! Betty, a lucky pup from London, recently swallowed a toy arrow that got lodged in her tummy. Betty's family noticed her gulping down an object and rushed her to the vet's office where doctors were stunned to find a 10-inch arrow!
Mind Your Manners at the (Doggie) Table
I don't even let North on my bed, let alone join me at the dining table. But now he can practice his table manners with his own Wooden Dog Dining Table ($40).
Unlike most food risers I've seen, this table adjusts to five different heights to fit your doggie (or kitty!) perfectly at any stage.

Foster a Dog Virtually, Help Feed Them in Real Life
If you've ever wished you could give a homeless dog a forever home (or could foster a dog until the lucky pup found a permanent family), but don't have the time or space, now you have an easy and fun way to pitch in with the help of Facebook. The Save a Dog Facebook app allows you to virtually care for an actual shelter pup, and by getting friends to co-sponsor or foster their own canine online, you'll earn points that will translate into real food in the mouths of shelter dogs.
DogTime and Rescuegroups.org teamed up to produce the charitable app, and the best part is that it costs you nothing to help out.

All You Need Is Love: Dogs Nurse Lions and Tigers to Health
I thought we'd reached the epitome of adorable when I saw the photos of the dog that took in a pair of red pandas as her own, but this story might take the cake in the cute department. Two more pooches in China are helping to raise not only their own growing puppies, but a pair of lion cubs, and twin tiger cubs as well! Born earlier this month, the lion and tiger cubs were abandoned by their birth mother, and two hero dog mamas stepped in to help.
Would Your Dogs Sing Along?
Although my tolerance for too much barking is pretty low (I do live in an apartment, you know — too much noise and my neighbors would be knocking on my door), I could watch videos of "singing" dogs all day long. A clip of one of my favorites is below: a Frenchie that sings along with the harmonica! I'm not much of a singer myself, so I gotta give credit where credit is due, this little guy can really carry a tune .
