The folks over at Pampered Pets do a great job of keeping dog owners up to date with the latest treats and trends that dogs of all shapes and sizes would enjoy all year long.

Just in time for Easter, they told us about these great doggie treats from the Kool Dog Kafe.

Check 'em out!...

For those who enjoy the sight of a dog sprinting... with full-out dogged determination and a purpose...

You'll surely enjoy these running dog photos.

Running brings pure joy... as seen in these dogs' eyes.

Why do I love Google?

Let me count the ways!

#1... Google hired a dog as their official unofficial mascott -- a Pug.

And my second dog-related reason why I like Google is...

We don't have a boat yet, but we're going to soon. That's because we're building a new log home on a lake. And a boat will, therefore, be mandatory.

And since we have 2 dogs, we can't wait to take our dogs out boating with us!

We already know that our dogs (especially Destin) like Jeeps... now we'll see how they feel about boats.

Anyhoo. If you like dogs and boats, then you'll like this new commercial from Discover Boating, followed by some great photos of dogs on boats...

Something I received via email today...

From the actual e-mail:
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish!

It's no secret that I love Kong toys.

I also highly recommend the Kong Company newsletter, and I would encourage you to subscribe to their FREE Kong newsletter, too.

I did. Each time it comes out (only 3 times a year), I find so much great info inside!

Here's what it's like...

Some fun photos of man's best friend enjoying St. Patrick's Day...

Maybe you'll find some fun things to do with your dog on this Irish, beer-drinking holiday!
