Earlier this year I had my annual check up with Dr. Pandolfi; I call her Dr. P for short. She’s awesome. She loves it when I do my “jump up” thing (jumping straight up into the air like a champ) and always claps and gives me cookies. So of course I do it as many times as possible when I ...

Tens of thousands of greyhounds are bred every year for the 27 racetracks in the United States, according to the U.S. Humane Society. They’re intentionally over-bred so there will be ample to replace old and underperforming greyhounds at the tracks.

Well for dogs, like humans, it is boring and uneventful. The anticipation of what is to come next is often excoriating for a pup. Also, training your dog ...

The survey indicates that younger generations (ages 18-34) are more likely ...

Over 82.5 million households have welcomed four-legged friends into their homes and into their lives.

I brought up this topic a few years ago and thought we were done with the issue. But my mom insists on bringing it back up. It’s about my bathroom habits. Pleasant, right? Let me just say this up front: I am a dog and I POOP! It’s not the fact that I poop that my mom likes to comment ...
