What started last week as a well-intentioned press release from a Michigan animal shelter is rapidly developing into a full-blown case of internet hysteria in the dog-owning community. This press release has morphed into an email containing a numer of inaccuracies and describing an “extremely fatal,” new variant of canine parvovirus. Many of you will likely find a [...]

A story in The New York Post yesterday reported the heartwarming tale of a beagle in Georgia who was traced back to his former home in Queens, NY. Rocky squeezed under the backyard gate and vanished into the night back in 2003, leaving a six year-old girl teary-eyed and wondering of his fate until recently. Fast-forward [...]

The truth about CATS, published today in USA WEEKEND Magazine, describes what author Steve Dale calls a “dirty little secret:” the fact that there are nearly 10 million more pet cats than pet dogs in the US, but they often get the short shrift—in the form of poor public perception, less frequent veterinary care, and fewer research dollars [...]

OK folks, it’s time for a feline wake-up call. Not like the mewing, purring, and cold nose in the ear that Drs. B and G get every morning ten minutes before the alarm goes off, but a mental wake-up call. I’m tired of the human-canine-centric tone this blog has taken on, and I’m spending a [...]

I recently realized that I must’ve fallen from Dolittler‘s subscription list during a recent upgrade and wasn’t getting Dr. Patty’s daily post by e-mail anymore. I clicked over to do some catching up and started following some links on her blogroll, and—as often happens on the internet—ended up in places I’d never intended reading things [...]

It’s been over a month since my big day and I’ve been doing great (Thank you to everyone who asks about to me, BTW). I’ve been cooped up like a chicken since my last post, partly because my folks took turns having vacation and I’m a lot for one parent to handle, and partly because [...]

So, it’s been 9 days since the shoulder surgery, and (aside from a dorky haircut and some surgical staples) you’d never know I’ve been under the knife. I am still taking anti-inflammatory drugs and injections to help my cartilage heal, but Mom and Dad stopped sedating me a day or two ago, and I’m driving [...]

Well, it’s been two days since Dr. Lirtzman removed a dime-sized cartilage flap from each of my shoulders, and already Dad’s having trouble keeping me quiet. Consequently, I’m spending a lot of time resting in my kennel, save for short leash walks into the yard to go to the bathroom. I’m not sure who this [...]

Hey, it’s me, Archie. Don’t tell my mom I hijacked her laptop, OK? Dad (a.k.a. Dr. Griswold) has been having so much fun with this blog thing, I thought I’d give it a try. It took everything in me to behave and not keep the whole family awake by wrestling with Rana at bedtime, but [...]
