This is the second installment in our series that takes a look at the Super Bowl from a dog’s (and dog lover’s) perspective. Today we’re focusing on having healthy dog treats on hand for the big game.

As Super Bowl XLII approaches, everyone’s busy gearing up to watch the Arizona Cardinals take on the Pittsburgh Steelers – even the dogs!

My precious little niece turns two years old in February. She’s a girl after my own heart as she has recently developed an obsession with dogs, too! Last time I saw her, we spent 30 minutes looking at pictures of puppies on my iPhone. Watching her reaction to each new picture was one of the [...]

Those who know me well know that one of my favorite annual dog events is the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. I first caught on to this competition a few years ago while lazily flipping channels on a Saturday afternoon.

This is a follow up to my original post about Rachael Ray’s Nutrish dog food. I put a call into the Nutrish 800 number yesterday morning and got voicemail. I left my questions on the voicemail but hadn’t heard back yet so I just called again and got a very pleasant woman on the [...]

Just when we thought we were through being bombarded with new words like “EVOO” and “Yum-o”, Rachael Ray strikes again. This time she’s unleashing her creative vocabulary on the canine culinary world with her new line of dog food called “Nutrish”.

KRock sent me a link to an MSNBC.com article on the top dog names of 2008, an excellent addition to the archive of “things that will come in handy” when we are ready to pick out our new doggie. Thanks KRock! The lists are pretty cool – it’s broken down into most popular dog names as [...]

What is your favorite dog breed?
( polls)
I’ll confess right off the bat, my favorite is the Lab. Now you know. I suppose that’s technically Confession #2. But I honestly do love all dogs, generally favor large over small when given the choice though there are a couple of little ladies out there that [...]
