Maddie is Amazing: a super serious project about dogs and physics

Don’t miss Maddie the Coonhound, http://maddieonthings.com who is willing to perch in no end of precarious poses, including atop a basketball hoop and a motorscooter. What we pets won’t do for love! The photos of Maddie, by Theron Humphrey, are great and you can order prints and shirts.

Pet-Safe Gardening Tips

I love the outdoors, but there are some plants and products that should be off limits for me and my feline friends, including cocoa mulch, azaleas and pesticides — just to name a few. The ASPCA has a complete Guide to Pet-Safe Gardening on its website: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet-care-tips/pet-safe-gardening.aspx?utm_source=email_promotion&utm_medium=email&utm_content=PetSafeGardening;utm_campaign=SpringChecklist2012a

Spring Fever!!

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!” –Robin Williams

Center of Attention

“No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.” — Fran Lebowitz

Jumpin’ Geronimo!

Don’t miss this dog and his remarkable double-dutch feat. Double Dutch is hard enough on two feet — imagine it on four. You go Geronimo!

Don’t Worry! Be Happy!

“Many dogs will give a greeting grin much like a human smile.” -Richard A.

In My Easter Bun-net!

Deviled Eggs all around! But no candy for your dogs and don’t bring home a chick, duckling or a baby bunny unless you are prepared to care for a full-grown chicken, duck or rabbit. Enjoy the day!
