Old folks love a wedding. And I suppose that once you reach a certain age it doesn’t really matter who’s getting married just so long as you’re invited.
All of which explains this frankly bizarre spectacle at The Riverside Care Center in McKeesport last week.
As I’ve already explained, there’s not much point in dogs getting married. [...]

My, is it almost June 26 again already? 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 [...]

Some dogs don’t even need a mirror to take issue with themselves. I’ve heard of bone envy but this is ridiculous. Or is there a more sinister explanation? I’m reminded of Peter Sellers’ role in the seminal movie Dr. Strangelove, in which he played an ex-Nazi physicist acting as scientific adviser in the President’s war [...]

Note to taxonomists: Californian dogs do not belong to the same species as New York Dogs. To me, getting wet means one thing and one thing only - a $100 grooming bill. If you should see me 30 yards off the coast of Imperial Beach standing knees-a-tremble on a slippery surfboard waiting for an ominous [...]

I literally felt my whiskers curl with outrage when I heard about this, the latest doohickey designed for no other purpose than to inflict unbridled terror upon the dog community.
If this is supposed to be an enhanced interrogation technique then I demand to know if Nancy Pelosi was briefed about it in 2002. Pictures speak [...]

It’s being reported that Augie, a Swiss Mountain dog from North Carolina, doesn’t get out of his basket for less than $400.
The plush pooch mistook his belly for a bank and deposited a large stash of cash in it Thursday afternoon - dispensing with the formality of official deposit slips, sort codes and signatures in [...]

I’d just gotten my slippers on and poured myself a nice glass of vintage port this evening when I came across the news that the 25th annual Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race has indeed commenced.
Of course I should have been taking part in this 1600km slog myself if it weren’t for the fact that [...]

As reported by the Associated Press yesterday, the U.N. has called an emergency meeting after a dog was spotted sitting happily on a roof in North Dakota, in what must surely have been one of the slowest days for news in world history.
People across the world stopped what they were doing in stunned amazement as [...]

New York dogs were urged to be on their guard yesterday after a brazen snatch in Central Park left an area Bison Frise without a chew toy.
The four-paw discount - which was perpetrated in broad daylight a short distance from the E79th St entrance - was the work of a professional and had probably been [...]

Soon to be not-President Bush had a stern talk with soon to be not-First Dog Barney yesterday after reports emerged of more chomp-attacks the sour Scottie has administered on anyone within fangshot.
Further to revelations that the nefarious, wild-eyed hound is literally spitting chips at the prospect of having to surrender his White House cushion to [...]
