Keeping an eye on dog-related news items is part of compiling DogCast Radio, and it seems there have been some unusual mishaps recently.

flash like jumping in leaves as much as the kids do!

I love my dog :) he is so cute , in the kitchen waiting for a cookie

If you have a dog with a penchant for running away, the Retrieva collar might be of interest to you. I remember interviewing a representative of the company at Crufts 2008 and thinking what a well thought out product it was. Not only does it let you track your dog, it is tamper proof, and will withstand water should your dog take a swim while wearing it.

So not only will it help if your dog simply wanders off, but it should help cut down on the number of dogs stolen. And that can only be a good thing.

Hooray – it’s December! Deck the halls and all that! We’ve put our Christmas tree up, and explained to Buddy and Star that they mustn’t pee on it or try to eat it. They are actually outraged that our local pet store has sold out of dog treat advent calendars, and until more stocks arrive they have to make do with watching the smaller pets in the house receive their advent calendar treats, which isn’t quite the same thing at all!

Star was such a cute baby - I can't believe she was ever that small though!

We brought Bruno into our family when he was about 6 months old..He grew into a huge, loving dog full of energy and mischief. When we adopted Phoebe, our 4 month old mini-Daschound, Bruno took full charge of acting like her proud papa! He loves to wrestle and run around with everyone and anyone. The two together are our little monsters, but they are the most amazing pets you will ever find.
