puppy: Dog, Meet Bird... Bird, Meet Teeth... - 07/31/08 01:16 PM
For those who haven't met her yet, this is Brit. She and her brother are a pair of puppies that I rescued from the Tri-County Animal Shelter in Hughesville, MD. She tries to be a good dog, and generally speaking she succeeds. This morning, however, was not a good morning for us.
It's my fault, really. I taught her how to play fetch, and she's a beagle mix, so she has a natural hunting instinct. I had assumed (incorrectly) that life in suburbia would prevent her from turning into the great white hunter. Aside from the occasional errant squirrel, there's … (18 comments)

puppy: Dogs Abandoned in the Foreclosure Fallout - 02/03/08 01:13 PM

puppy: Pound Puppies Bring Many Happy Returns - 11/29/07 01:31 AM
I am a firm believer that shelter dogs can make the best potential animal companions(nothing against cats, I just prefer animals that don't cough up hairballs) . I'd like to share with everyone my own personal story about my mutts to illustrate how rewarding dogs can really be! I'm sick and tired of hearing about animal abuse stories in the news(Mr. Vick, this includes you!), so let's talk about a little good news! These two came into my life as abused leftovers that someone didn't want. Abused, malnourished, and amazingly enough, too young to have developed a fear of … (11 comments)
