Hey- It’s Bo here, sharing the scoop on poop….

When owners tell their pups to “jump”, most dogs will ask how high?

When I hear that phrase, I ask why? I mean, why risk a hip fracture? Why risk a twisted paw? Why risk leaving mother earth for even a split second?

When I bark “jump”, my owners know it’s time for them to jump off the couch and let me out, or in, depending on the circumstances. It’s to the point where I just move my jowls without making a peep. In the flash of eye, they drool and spring to life to open the door.

It’s a nice party trick but it’s got nothing on what Taiwanese dogs are doing to control their human counterparts. There’s gold in them there poops and Reuters has the full story.

TAIPEI (Reuters) – A city in central Taiwan is offering shopping vouchers to volunteer dog waste collectors in a bid to clean up a perennial problem caused by the large number of stray animals island-wide. Read the rest of this entry »

5.0 out of 5 stars The FUNNIEST book by a dog I ever read!!

October 10, 2009

By Nancy Houser (Central Nebraska) -

The book Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger has to be one of the funniest and most original books I have ever read. Where else can you spend hours laughing at a sneak-peak before sending a friend/family doggie-lover one of the most unique gifts they will ever have? In that case, you may have to order two — one for you and one as a gift! Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve ever doubted a dog could be in love I think the story in the Citizens Times about two strays will change your mind.

Kim Klein of Bakersfield, N.C.  regularly sets out food for the stray cats that wander onto her property. One day a homeless hound dog mix started showing up to partake of the kitty buffet.

This routine continued for several months, but much to Kim’s dismay the dog’s condition continued to deteriorate. One day Kim realized the dog, who she named Tia, had recently given birth and her situation was dire.

Klein said she knew the dog was in “a state of desperation, and I was lucky enough to befriend her. Scared and alone, she asked for help.”

Klein bathed and fed her. The dog sighed, exhausted, and finally slept deeply.

Then, Klein said, “I asked her to please lead me to her babies. We both ran and ran two miles into the deep forest, through bushes and brambles. And there the rainbow ended, the pot of gold: five hungry puppies in a stump, crying for their mama.”

Eventually Klein found homes for all the puppies. Tia however, was still having issues adjusting. Everyday she would run barking back into the woods, one day Klein followed her and that was when she found the reason behind Tia’s continued distress.  In the woods was Steve, the father of the puppies, and Tia’s soulmate.
