We so frequently hear people exclaim about the dog being "man's best friend". So, I'm going to add my vote today for the truth of this expression. It's quite amazing to read about the history of man's best friends. Yes, dogs have quite a place in the history of this world. Take some time to read the history of dogs and some funny stories about man's best friends. I've certainly enjoyed kninefriend...

If you want to read something exciting, go to MyAfricanTravels.com and check out this post (http://www.myafricantravels.com/2010/01/23/the-lion-hunt-4.html) about Lion Hunt #4. The writer describes this African lion hunt. First, they listed taking a .375 magnum rifle, a 38 caliber pistol, and a relatively long hunting knife. Then, they had to walk about a mile along a trail. But, there were no lio...

I felt several emotions arise within me as I read this blog (http://www.goldenbuddies.com/blog/2009/11/29/twelve-years-with-a-golden-retriever.html) about the afflictions of an elder golden retriever, Gracie. She had to be taken to the vet when she couldn't get her hind end to move or her back legs to hold any weight.Read this blog and the following one (http://www.goldenbuddies.com/blog/2009/1...

Oh, how nice it would be to tour the windmills in Kinderdijk, Holland! It would be especially enjoyable now that they are transporting tourists on the new electroboat, “Djiewke”.

Dogs are man's best friend and don't you think they deserve to be a bit spoiled, especially at this time of year? People today have little time to shop and even smaller amounts of money to spend, but online there are several great places to shop. Of course, there are the traditional spots like PetSmart and Petco but there are many more that have great stuff and reasonable prices.In a recent post (...

Isn't this American Wirehair just the cutest cat? There's a recent blog (http://www.kittyvisits.com/2009/11/01/american-wirehair-cats.html) that tells you all about them. Their thick coat of fur looks and feels like the wool of a lamb.I found it fascinating to read that their hair is actually curled  quite tight and wiry on top of the little body. The springy curls are coarse. But, the stomac...

It was quite a delight to visit the GoldenBuddies website and see the pictures of family pets using the automatic water bowl. You can tell that they really enjoyed drinking from the fountain. I got a kick out of the post (http://www.goldenbuddies.com/blog/2008/10/31/fresh-n-clean-water-bowl.html). Especially the story about the time when the water bowl was empty and the poodle puppy did a little s...

I'm truly hoping that all pet owners are aware of this action by Nutro Pet Foods.The blog reported that Nutro Pet Food announced a voluntary recall of its NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® COMPLETE CARE® and NUTRO® MAX® Cat Dry Foods. The writer a...

This is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear. You will know precisely what this little girl is talking about at the end! "Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We've been back to this animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now since we started all of this," the mother told the volunteer. "What is it she keeps asking for?" the volunteer asked. "Puppy size!" replie...
