Only 39 More Days!

In the little town of Canastota, NY where I live, we are lucky enough to have a local ice cream stand. I freely admit that when he closes for the fall, I go into a little bit of a depression. The owner keeps a sign on the front of his lawn and every year he starts a count down to when he opens again. With the crazy cold winter we have been having, just seeing that the countdown has started, lifts my spirits...nevermind the longing for his “moose tracks” ice cream (ice cream being the "good" kind of cold).

And of course, Gracie and Rosie (my doggys) each get a vanilla ice cream in a bowl!

Mush Doggy!

Cold fact for the day... At the Denali National Park in Alaska, there are some 2 million areas of wilderness. No motorized vehicles are allowed there. So in emergencies, Huskies are used in sled teams to be are sent out. A dog team has anywhere from 7 to 10 dogs. These sleds are also used to haul supplies to rangers. Teams may be out in temperatures 45 degrees below zero with blowing snow and could be out all day! Think about that the next time you are snuggling on your couch with a cup of cocoa and your furry friend beside you...

I think I Overdosed on Watching the Olympics

The Olympics have ended. My DVR has not broken...and my dogs are looking forward to getting

some attention from me again. But was I the only one who really missed not seeing Evan Lysacek 

skate again?!

Hot Dogs! The 2013 Top 10 Doggy Breeds

I suppose you can guess which dog breed made number one...it’s been number one for the past 22 years and has done it again this year....yup the Labrador Retriever, now breaking the all time popularity record. The American Kennel Club, founded in 1884, announced the 2013 list. The top ten breeds of 2013 after the Labradors are German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers, Boxers, Poodles (who previously held the 22 year record), Rottweilers and Dachshunds. No longer on the top ten list are the Shih tzus and the Chihuahas.

Don’t Leave Your Doggy in a Hot Car!

A man visiting the New York State Fair last year, left his Labrador

Retriever in the car. The temperature in the car reached 100 

degrees and the dog was left in the car for some four hours.

The dog, Ali was found dead. His owner pleaded guilty to animal cruelty.

Patrick Oneill was given a sentence of 3 years propation. He is now

facing charges of animal cruelty concerning horses that he owns. 

Hmmm...maybe someone show leave him in a hot car for awhile...

Gracie with her new Valentine Scarf

Gracie just got back from being groomed by "Miss Susan" from Love Your Pet in Oneida, NY
If you look closely you can see the Valentine scarf she gave Gracie...it's got a black background with
red lipstick kisses on it. On the VERY first Valentine I ever shared with Gracie, I gave her my silk
red scarf to wear. Gracie, of course, looked fabulous with it on and thus started my collecting every
color scarf in the world for her to wear. She has a few orange ones to wear when the Syracuse University Orangemen basketball team play...all the major holidays are represented....especially Christmas...she must have about 10 different ones to cover that particular holiday!

Watch Your Step!

Mack is a German Shepherd who was just out for a walk with his human when he fell more

than 10 feet into a sinkhole!  His human, Mattie nearly fell in herself. Luckily Mack was rescued and only suffered a sore hip. Thanks go to the Buffalo, NY firefighters rescue team!
