March 19, 2019 at 3:50 PM Blair Braverman and her Iditarod sled dog team finished their first Iditarod on Sunday. Braverman's social media fans call themselves the #UglyDogs. During the race, they raised $7,000 funds for a remote Alaskan school in 24 hours. When that project was funded, they turned to other school projects listed at DonorsChoose.org.A few hundred miles into the race, teachers started hugging her in villages. “We haven’t been able to buy new glue sticks in six months, but now my classroom will have a gard...

8h ago ( March 20, 2019 at 3:50 PM ) First the pony was killed. Will a child be next? It's not easy being an animal control officer. You see people and animals at their very worse, and the job too often puts you in direct conflict with people who are emotionally volatile.That said, the job does require officers, at times, to step up and safeguard the public from dangerous animals.Sadly, not every Animal Control officer is competent do the job.Consider this situation in Aiken, South Carolina, where a group of free running ...

2h ago ( March 20, 2019 at 9:50 PM ) Fomobones has sent us a very interesting and useful article on aggression in dogs:
If your dog is aggressive on or off his leash and has started growling, snapping, trying to bite other people or animals, or demonstrating territorial aggression, then you could be facing a serious behavioral issue that requires your attention right away. Dog aggression is one of the main reasons that quality dog trainers are always in demand; as if it is not dealt with as soon as possible then it tends to only...

14h ago ( March 20, 2019 at 9:51 AM ) Have you ever noticed how the groundhogs you see on top often end up being the hardest ones to dig to?Now a study in the journal Nature may explain why. It turns out that Richardson's Ground Squirrel uses ultrasonic calls, inaudible to most other ears, to sound the alarm and warn others in the colony that a predator is about. The squirrel's ultrasonic calls, dubbed "whisper calls," are in the 50-kilohertz range-far above the 20 kilohertz that humans can hear.Not surprisingly, there is also some ...

8h ago ( March 20, 2019 at 3:50 PM ) Iowa Attorney General Stephen J. Miller has filed a lawsuit claiming that the state is home to a national “puppy laundering” ring that sells puppy-mill dogs as rescue animals. The Hill newspaper reports that:“Hobo K9 Rescue, a nonprofit based in rural Iowa, reportedly paid for-profit commercial breeder JAK's Puppies in exchange for animals provided by puppy mills. Puppy mills notoriously keep animals in dirty and crowded conditions.“The lawsuit notes that the state can't pinpoint where the pupp...

March 19, 2019 at 4:38 PM “Hey. Are you coming, or what?”
Unmute this one for the swishies.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish.”
This dog is almost entirely water resistant. I mean, golden retrievers are naturally pretty water resistant anyway, but this takes it to the proverbial whole 'nother level.
I'm so glad the tail shows.
Water resistant!

March 19, 2019 at 3:50 PM “One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here.

in our Walter Mitty world we have great admiration and respect for those who challenge themselves at high levels of competition:
The blind runner who trains guide dogs to help him complete a half Marathon, the 67-year-old woman running her 15th Iditarod.
But there are people who have no connection to, or understanding of, dog sledding who are insisting that the iconic Iditarod be shortened.

The park acts as a water catchment area when the creek floods. The picture, below, is not mine, but shows what happens when a massive storm flood hits. The creek is semi wild on one end of the park, but is channeled with terrific stone work and a rather amazing horse-shoe shaped waterfall before it enters a “river walk” area edged by restaurants.
