Durable Rubber Ball for Dogs
December 30th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Animal Causes
From the good folks at Planet Dog comes the Orbee-Tuff Glow for Good Ball. It’s a 3″ ball (about the size of a baseball) that’s made of doggie-durable silicone. It is really, really bouncy–when I drop it on the ground it bounces back up almost all the way to where it started. If you have […]

The Best of Today's Dogg
November 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes
In a world where political cartoons in the paper sometimes get too shocking or controversial or just plain maddening, there’s something special and reassuring about Today’s Dogg, a syndicated cartoon by Guy Gilchrist. Each one is a single panel comic by Gilchrist starring various dogs. I wouldn’t say the comics are particularly edgy or roll-on-your-sides […]

Dogphoria is by far one of the coolest books I’ve read all year. It makes a fabulous holiday present for any dog lover in your life. The book itself is beautiful to look at; it’s about 7 inches by 10 inches and maybe half an inch thick. It’s a hardcover book with an oh-so-adorable picture […]

A useful Wedding Favor or Groomsman Gift: Dogtag bottle openers by PopTag
October 23rd, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes
In the weeks leading up to my recent wedding, my fiancee and I were throwing out all kinds of ideas about wedding favors. We tried looking on TheKnot, but in all honesty most of the favors we saw there were kind of hackneyed. TheKnot.com tends to favor, no pun intended, vendors who pay them a […]

Support the Guided Dog Foundation…and a 43 year old who's trying to pretend to be a 21 year old
September 1st, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes, Disability, Veterans and Military
Well, the last two posts have been on somewhat controversial topics, and so I thought I’d dedicate this post to something as non-controversial as you can get: PUPPIES!!!!! Each year the Guided Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs holds a bike tour. I posted in 2009 how my then-girlfriend (and now-fiance) Lisa rode the 10 mile […]

Biodegradable Dog Poop Bags that Fight Puppy Mills
June 17th, 2012 · No Comments · Amazon, Animal Causes
Here’s a deal worth making a stink about (sorry). Available on Amazon are 700 Poop Bag Shop (TM) Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags for $19.99 by a company appropriately called “Poop Bag Shop”. That’s enough to last for almost a whole year. No more scrounging around for plastic garbage bags. The bags come in blue or black colors […]

Let’s do a little exercise. I’ll read off a list of country names to you and you tell me the first thing that pops into your head. Cambodia, Nicaragua, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Republic of Congo, and Rwanda. For most people the list is easy. War, poverty, despair, corruption, hopelessness, suffering. Most of the time […]
