Here's the poop. Those wiseguys at King Pup take me for a spin every lunchtime and in return I agree to cast a beady eye over the latest dog related developments and churn out a few words for the perusal of any dog enthusiasts in earshot. It is I feel a quite satisfactory arrangement for the time being and one that I fully intend to maintain until such a time as they've had enough of me, or I become blog-tired and decide to let sleeping blogs lie - whichever comes sooner.

This suspiciously cute little fluffy Frankenhound is one of the latest in the current craze of cut ‘n’ paste dog breeding - the art of finding two names that go together to make a catchy hybrid word and then spawning them by the truckload. Labradoodle. Cockapoo. Cockadoodle. Pugglecock. Schnauzador. Havanoodle (don’t mind if I do).

An intrepid UK pooch named Ozzie managed to ruffle a few feathers down at his local quack’s vet’s office after inhaling an entire rubber duckie, managing to prove that he’d make both the world’s worst gun dog and the world’s best rubber duckie smuggler - in one short gulp. Says the Leamington Spa Courier:
The seven-month-old [...]
I’m staying out of this election. Mostly, in light of the fact that the canine vote is not yet forthcoming. We can serve our country in the military and the police force it seems, but we’re not trusted to make a rational decision when it comes to deciding who’s best to run the country (the [...]
After declining their offer (through my lawyers) to make me Milk-Bone SpokesDog of 2008 and plaster my comely countenance upon red biscuit boxes the length and breadth of the nation, it seems the preeminent dog treat company has decided to throw caution to the wind and appeal to the wider ruck in the slim hope [...]
An experimental attempt to expose dogs to culture in Bethlehem, PA, is in serious doubt after an unnamed five month old puppy left a trail of hurt feelings and bruised artistic sensitivities on the town’s Main Street today.
The pernicious pup was seen to ramble cockily through the sidewalk displays of local artisans, heaping scorn upon [...]
Attaboy! As reported in today’s LA Times, Ruby the bulldog (or is it Bean?) took a grand total of “about two seconds” to figure out that there’s a third dimension - up. Most bulldogs, as their owners will tell you, have trouble coming to terms with the first two, being quite happy to blow raspberries [...]
For the most part, dogs don’t get married. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that we have anything against the institution itself - it’s just that there’s about as much point in two dogs getting married as there is in taping two pebbles together.
For humans, love is a temporary insanity that’s curable by marriage, or [...]
This is Norman. A collie cross from Roden, England. Norman likes to pick things up in his mouth, carry them around for a while and then pulverize them. Like most loyal dogs, he’s also given to following his owner around wherever she goes.
Are you following? Now imagine that Norman follows his owner to the neighborhood [...]
This is what it’s come to. Twenty years ago, the hoop in this picture would have been on fire. The nearest humans would have been 50ft away in the stands cheering in stunned amazement upon witnessing yet another spectacular act of unfathomable canine courageousness. There would have been no harnesses, no treats — none of [...]
Believe it or not, this isn’t a picture of two dogs. Look more closely (use your browser’s zoom function if you have to) - they’re actually humans wearing dog fur sweaters.
That’s right. Beth and Brian Willis from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, spun these ghoulish garments after spending years collecting the hairs of their beloved pets [...]
