Snake World
This is Daisy, who is, as you can see, blessed with great physical beauty. She’s even got matching beauty moles. She is somewhat vain in consequence. I tell both my dogs that they’re smart girls, good girls, beautiful girls. But with Daisy, it is definitely the latter that resonates. She takes in the sun like [...]

Cat Rescue Bleg – NYC Area
From commentor Johannes: My wife, who occasionally comments as “La Caterina” helps operate a largish feral cat colony here in Brooklyn. One of her colleagues has found a 3 1/2 month old cat that she calls Sanders. She writes the he was found with one eye very badly damaged by a trauma, that he is [...]

This Is What Happens
When you don’t come when I call because you are just too important to listen: That’s right. You sit outside in the cold and snow and drizzle, while everyone else is inside getting treats. Let this be a lesson for all of you.

Your weekend Max pic. The bandage on his leg is where a little dog with Joe Pesci issues bit him. Some days I wish that Max lived up to the Doberman reputation even a little bit (he mostly protects us from squirrels and the invisible spirits who drop acorns out of oak trees in the [...]

Let’s Talk about Pets, Baby
I’m still kind of chuckling that as my father was lying, possibly dying, in a hospital emergency room, his primary focus was not seeing his firstborn son one last time, but making sure his dogs were walked, put to bed, and doted on. It really is crazy how much we love our animals. I’ve always [...]

Early Morning Open Thread: Good Dogs, Unfortunate Names
(h/t commentors Schrodingers Cat via Watergirl) Because we all need a little moment of Zen this morning. The dog’s name, according to the video poster, is… Murkin. For additional awwwww-ness, the NYTimes Magazine has a story about a very special service-dog training organization and a(nother) “Wonder Dog” with a name out of the Urban Dictionary: [...]

We don’t serve your kind here…
[I think there’s a clause in my Balloon Juice contract about pet photos. This one depicts my dog Patsy, who harbors ambitions to become a biped. She loves to belly up to our backyard tiki bar. You can see the whites of her eyes because she’s scanning the surface of the bar for pretzels without [...]

Sunday Morning Open Thread: The Perfect Dog
Stolen from the calendar submissions, because I couldn’t resist. From commentor Libby’s Person: My sweet, beautiful collie-mix had died 4 months before. I missed her terribly; I’d planned on waiting longer, but I knew I was done waiting when I found myself repeatedly looking at local shelter dogs on Petfinder. I decided to get my [...]

Eastern PA pet rescue bleg
From commenter Brendan: Considering the awfulness that was perpetrated in Arkansas, I was wondering if there’s a good time to put up a save-a-cat post? There is an incredibly friendly and cuddly little guy on our porch that we’ve named Buster. He’s about a year old, maybe two: he’s small for his age. He will [...]

Greetings, Juicers
Possibly due to a clerical error, I was invited to become part of the fantastic Balloon Juice team. It’s a bit like being the obscure governor of a low-population state who is suddenly thrust into the national spotlight, only hopefully less dumb, evil and screechy. I know some of you from Rumproast, where I’ve been [...]

Displaying the protective instincts that make Dobermans famous, Max takes a rampaging grizzly bear by the leash and calmly leads it away from his owner: Now go read this and then phone someone about PIPA.
