Puppy Mills: Madonna of the Mills
From Dancing Dog Blog, 9 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Puppy mills are in the news every now and then, and last night HBO ran Madonna of the Mills, a documentary about the facts of life for dogs in puppy mills and the connection between puppy mills and pet shops. The work that rescuers do is hard in ways more than the physical. Collecting the 5 yr old females whose [...]

Fay Rests
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Fay, the 5-year-old pit bull saved from dogfighters as part of the HSUS and law enforcement 8-State bust that changed the future for her and some 500 other dogs, let go of life on the 28th. She had been cared for and loved, and knew happiness before she had to go.
You may recall that HSUS contributed $5000 to her medical care after being publicly reminded that a fundraising ad made it sound as though HSUS was taking care of Fay’s needs when they were not.
Here’s an update log on...

New Year's at the Dog Spa

Midnight at the Oasis
A Siren song if ever I heard one…no, not the subtitle, this:
“…luxury spa and pet resort…to jumpstart a healthier year for canine companions.” Zen for 2010!
The ad reads like any in Town and Country or Travel and Leisure( if that’s even still in print), with an unmistakable air of exclusivity.
“…designed to keep dogs active, stimulated and stress-free with treadmill trots, swim sessions in...

A Christmas Smile!
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I just got a blip.fm song from our friend @corkystory, and one thing led to another. I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the tree, and Tashi is curled up on the footstool, snoozing, no doubt with visions of endless dog cookies dancing in his head. I saw a link at blip.fm where I found this–thought it was the perfect video to share a little eggnog over–enjoy!

I’m trying to catch up with dog news and things I’ve missed while Christmas shopping, baking, wrapping, visiting, munching, toasting, and tree decorating, and maybe you have too, so I want to call your attention to Eric Goebelbecker’s excellent dog training blog over at Dog Spelled Forward for his story on Faith, the two-legged dog taught to walk upright. He’s got a video I haven’t seen elsewhere–pretty cool!
Then there was the...

O Christmas Treat, O Christmas Treat!
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It’s cookie baking time–and with a fury known only to those of us who refuse to bake a week ahead. After tearing through three cookbooks and some old “Gourmet” magazines, I’ve finally settled on what feels like a good Christmas selection. And while I have some dog cookie Christmas treat recipes, I probably won’t get to those until after the holidays. What'! What kind of heresy is this, you ask'
Before you judge too harshly, let me share. Thanks to a lot of...

My Favorite Things: Christmas Gifts For Dogs
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Just in case Santa Paws is listening, I thought I’d put together a few of my favorite things for Christmas gifts for dogs this year.
This toy is high on my final gift list because it has a squeaker, Tashi’s favorite, and it’s stuffing-free, keeping my dog safe from broken seams and a surprise impacted bowel. The Pogo Plush toy has an inner rubber skeleton and free-floating squeaker, it bounces, and the outside wool cover provides a good chew. At $8-$11, it’s no...

African Parrots in Winter'?
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
There was a shrill, out-of-place squawk as Tashi and I exited the garage for our walk in the 10-14 degree weather. Then my feet–and my heart–stopped dead for the half a second it took my brain to translate what was right in front of me. Decorating the barren Linden tree was a flock of huge green parrots–African someone said–and there were many more on the ground near my neighbor Leslie’s driveway, munching on the bird feed she puts out every year. I thought...

Dog News, Blazing Trails in OCD
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I just got off the phone with Tom Keppeler, PR contact at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine regarding the news that dogs are blazing trails for themselves and humans in OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) studies.
After reading about Cummings work with Dobermans, the canine form of OCD (CCD), and the identification of the OCD gene I wanted to get a better picture of what that research entailed.
“Research came from spontaneous illness'Dobs were brought to our behavior clinic...

The Bakery for Dogs!
From Dancing Dog Blog, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I’d been wanting to get to this place for months. You might think that long-awaited anticipation might lead to unreasonable expectations and hence disappointment…not so! I grinned as I approached–I could see through the windows to the bakery cases inside and, as I had hoped, it looked like a people bakery:) Well, apart from the fun dog products on the shelves!
Nothing disappointed…the fresh cookies in the cases are baked on the premises, honey is used instead of...
