Dogs ride out Hurricane Gustav

Posted on Sep 4, 2008 By FetchDog

After seeing the devastation that Hurricane Katrina wrought on dogs and other pets three years ago, Muttshack, the ASPCA and other organizations made sure pets were better cared for during the next evacuation. Hurricane Gustav was their first test. Thousands of pets -- cats, dogs, iguanas, birds, and other animals -- made it to Shreveport and waited out Gustav. Now they're waiting to go home. (One owner will be picking up a few more dogs than he or she sent to the shelter - a litter of four puppies was born during the evacuation!)

Another Fan of The Furminator Posted on Oct 4, 2008 By FetchDog Here at FetchDog, we're big fans of The Furminator, which pulls hair off our dogs before it lands on our clothes and furniture and becomes dog-hair tumbleweeds rolling around the office. We even made a FetchDog Furminator Demonstration Video about this great tool for shedding dogs. But we're not the only ones who like The Furminator. The people at Classic Game Room HD usually post video reviews of games, but thanks to their mascot, Stella, a German Shepherd-Chow Chow mix with a white undercoat who sheds quite a bit, they gave The Furminator a try. Check it out! Read more »

Valentino's Pugs Posted on Sep 24, 2008 By FetchDog Valentino, has six pugs -- Milton, Monty, Maude, Margot, Maggie and Molly -- who can be seen in a new documentary on the Italian designer, "Valentino, the Last Emperor." In footage shot before Valentino retired, the designer chides someone who leaves looses pins around. "I don't care about the collection. My dogs are much more important." Watch the trailer for a look at the half dozen pugs hogging airplane seats and lying around Valentino's feet as he sketches. Read more »

Spy Cam: Home Alone With a Beagle Posted on Sep 23, 2008 By FetchDog A family aimed a camera at their Beagle while they went on an outing to see what he did all day. Here's a section of the stop-motion video. The dog gets in his crate -- and on his crate. He strolls around and apparently gets on his dog bed, which moves between shots. He did not go near his food or water the entire time. He did bark (or bay, as Beagle people will call it), quite a bit! Read more »

A Game of Fetch Posted on Sep 22, 2008 By FetchDog We love the game of Fetch here at FetchDog almost as much as our dogs do, and we were quite impressed when we saw this German Shepherd named Vivor chase a tennis ball REALLY FAR. As his owner says, he gets quite a workout doing that 9,000 times a morning. If your dog isn't quite as skilled at tracking a ball as Vivor, check out Teaching Your Dog to Play Fetch and give your dog a great workout, too! Read more »

Golden Retriever ignores playful rabbit Posted on Sep 16, 2008 By FetchDog This Golden Retriever apparently has no interest in playing with the family's pet rabbit, but that doesn't stop the rabbit from trying and trying. Maybe the rabbit is playing Ring Around the Rose, um, Ring Around the Golden. They both look happy, anyway! Read more »
