Fun Loving Human Female Pet for Adoption

Sorry - this was too good so I thought I'd post it for a bit of light hearted humour today. It is cross-posted from a mailing list I'm on - I did NOT write it, but thought you'd enjoy.

Fun Loving Human Female Pet for Adoption:

Our beloved human pet seems to need more attention than we as a couple of bachelor dogs can handle at this time and we think is in need of a good home. We need our pad

Asshat Rant - Pure "Bread"?

Here's something you see VERY often in dog ads and it kills me each and every time! Have you ever seen an ad that says the dog is Pure Bread? I just want to say ... Hello! It's PURE BRED asshat! Bread is a type of FOOD - you know, like multigrain? Or whole wheat? *headdesk*

I'm a bit down today - went looking for a good story in the news about dogs and all I could find were bad things. I won't get into detail. So, I have settled for two different articles for the News Reel today. One is new and the other is not. Thought I'd brighten up the place a smidgen

Featured Rescue - Dora and Zoey the Siberian Huskies

I should post a rescue Siberian Husky today since I posted about the Kijiji BYBer. I'll post two - one a puppy since that's what the BYBer was offering, and the other an adult because they're harder to place.

Asshat Rant - Kijiji ... BYBers Paradise?

It seems as though they are trying to prevent CraigsList from being the place where all BYBers post. That's a good thing IMHO. There are a bunch that slip through - as there always will be.


There's a new gig in town though and for those who don't know, Kijiji is becoming a BYBers Paradise *cue music*. It's unfortunate, but true.


Today's asshat is breeding Siberian Huskies with Labs - and

Featured Rescue - Boo the Jack Russell Terrier

Today I've chosen a Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) to be featured for the rescue spotlight. JRTs are often found in rescue - I'd say it's likely because of the high energy requirements of the breed, though I'm not really sure. I know that most we see come through rescue are in dire need for obedience training but that doesn't really offer much insight.

Why is it that so many people with small dogs
