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.

Pants of relief were heard all over America today with the news that a dog-draft will not be enforced after all. Rumors had been circulating that the Pentagon was considering the idea of compulsory service for dogs in order to take some of the pressure off of our already overstretched military - the most persistent [...]
For want of a brain cell, the dog was lost. Apparently the whole “dog microchip” concoction has been something of a washout because all too many harebrained humans neglect to connect their details with the apparatus itself. You have to put your cellphone on file, cretins. But noooo….these bubble-heads think the chip’s some kind of [...]
Now don’t get me wrong, I like to put my paws up after a hard day’s sleep as much as the next dog. We are, as a species, entitled to a certain degree of Lassietude - except for those poor saps born with barrels of sherry around their necks or sleds tied to their mid [...]
