Thor says, Welcome to my world! I don’t usually take Frankie along with me on day trips — car rides are not his favorite activity, to put it mildly — but this past January, I decided to bring him with me to The Lazy Dog Ranch, a bed and breakfast about two hours from Tucson.…
Wordless Wednesday
My first foray into the Wordless Wednesday arena explains why I am a writer rather than a photographer. But there is a good story behind this picture, which I will tell tomorrow, on Pet Travel Thursday. In the meantime, you have your mission, should you choose to accept it: Find Frankie.
Behind the Scenes with a High-Quality Pet Food Purveyor
I admit it. I tend to be a stickler about language precision. Yet the title of this post is ambiguous. Reading it, you might wonder whether it is the pet food or the purveyor that is high quality. My answer would be: Both! Anthony Holloway and his company, K9Cuisine.com, are two class acts. As Dr.…

Both hotel and restaurant are pet friendly. I’m psyched — and of…
Addiction and Animal Welfare
As host of of the “Issues” show on Headline News, Jane Velez-Mitchell is usually the interviewer, not the interviewee.

Presenting: The Great Yorkie Bark-Off!
I know, I know, you want to go straight to the video. I can’t blame you. It’s awesome. But I need to explain a few things first, so hold your horses. I mean dogs. You’ll want to hear about the fun and the prizes. First the fun. After viewing the video, you need to chose…
THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES…
Pet Travel Thursday: Barking Abroad
Sure, your dog knows how to bark in his native tongue — here in the U.S. that would be “Woof woof” or (for more formal situations) “Bow wow.” But what happens if you travel to another country? Will your dog be able to communicate with the local pups? I thought about this the other day…
