I gotta tell you, this kind of thing isn’t usually my bowl of gravy but I was very impressed to see Gin the Border Collie trip the light fantastic on the hit UK show Britain’s Got Talent.
I usually boycott any TV show featuring Simon Cowell after he decimated my emotional performance of Yoko Ono’s [...]

Friday is of course Take Your Dog To Work Day, or as it’s more commonly known by employers: “National Dip In Productivity Day.” It is estimated that at least 6 million man hours are lost every year as Chocolate Labs chase Miniature Dachshunds around filing cabinets, Wheaten [...]

Simon the Jack Russel Terrier was hailed as a hero last night after making short work of a gang of nefarious balloons which had taken residence in his owner’s living room.

So far it’s all been pretty civil on the Republican front. The election of controversial hope-and-changeist Barack Obama inspired a noble concession speech from John McCain, countless messages of good will from the right-of-center blogosphere - and an encouraging address from George W.
