It's already started and it hasn't even gotten that hot here yet I believe the day this happened the weather was in the mid to high 70's. What I don't understand is most state parks do NOT allow pets or only allow them on one or two trails so why in the heck would you bring your dog to a state park to leave it in the damned car I think it fair not only that he is being charged but also that he has to explain to his grandchildren why that dog is no longer around. I wish I could feel sorry for the guy but to be honest common sense clearly is not high on his priority list! http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Owner-charged-after-golden-retriever-dies-in-hot-car-156430…

Both my husband and my sister sent this to me the moment they saw it so I would know "before my father-in-law passed it on." Two articles about it, one is far more sensational than the other. You can always tell when news comes from the Calgary Sun! Huskies attack girl, 5, in Calgary park - *News - MSN CA 'Horrific' attack on girl, 5, by huskies - Canada - Canoe.ca I’d suspect that the dogs escaped as opposed to being deliberately let loose, but it’s still owner responsibility. My biggest worry when ours escape is that Wyatt will get into trouble with a little dog, or that one of them will be hit by a car. Attacking a person – even a child - i…

I'm sure everyone's seen this from facebook especially if they have breeders on their list. I think its going to screw over legit breeders and wont change much in the way of puppy mills because they are the ones making money :/ This is what SAOVA's(Sportsman and animal owners voting alliance) say about it copy and pasted from the site: * The majority of hobby breeders currently work within zoning requirements of increasingly urbanized areas. USDA licensing will automatically make these breeders businesses or commercial kennels requiring zoning variances which can be vetoed by neighbors. As these variances and permits may not be possible to obtain in many lo…

I found this article online.....(I hope the link works)....the state of New Jersey is now fining people $1000 if they do not have their dog buckled in the car. I think that is awesome. More states/places need to start doing this. I think all dogs need to be buckled in cars or restrained some how. Buckling up your dog or cat next frontier in safety, $1,000 traffic tickets | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos Just finally watched the video on the article and the guy pretty much makes fun of this whole thing. I suggest just reading the article.

Okay so this was a strange enough read...because well it wasn't something that I've seen in the news.............and they were supposed to be working on...ya know fixing the state's pension problem in IL. Instead....we ended up with an almost unanimous passing of a bill that allows disabled people to use miniature horses as seeing eye dogs... wat?

I'm sure most have read about "Big Ben" being renamed the Elizabeth Tower. Now I have no real thoughts on it being renamed but I was always taught (even when I lived in England) that the Great Bell is actually nicknamed Big Ben and the clock tower it is in is just called Clock Tower. Is this true? I'm so confused now lol! Here is an article I found about the renaming.... BBC News - MPs back bid to rename Big Ben tower after Queen

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/31/nyregion/bloomberg-plans-a-ban-on-large-sugared-drinks.html That's right...people make bad food choices...so lets take them away...unless it involves ice cream, alcohol or juice. Theaters seem to be in support of this...OF COURSE THEY ARE...with some of the most expensive beverages you can buy and a restriction prohibiting outside food anything that has you spending more is a plus for them.

Okay, I found this while looking for something else on Google for rigs. It isn't new (2010) and perhaps it has been posted before, but I thought it might be useful, especially for relative newbies, to read. There's a short video with the article showing the journalist having a go with a rig as well. I also found it really interesting to read/hear an outsider's perspective, both on the breed and rig work. Snowbound in Surrey? Huskies to the rescue! - Telegraph Enjoy! Is the owner a member on here btw?

http://start.toshiba.com/news/read.php?rip_id=<D9V3B4381@news.ap.org>&ps=931 I'm not quite sure how I feel bout this. I'm not a big fan off off lead dogs at all....and I don't know that grandfathering the dog in is the best choice for the community....but ummm what are you going to do in a town that seems to lack animal control, that has this sort of support? Is this something that should be able to be grandfathered in? Also I wonder how much of this is Blue doesn't want to live with a family...and how much of it's people's general misconceptions and attempts to apply human type feelings and cognitive reasoning to an animal.

Husky Owners F1 Bets Guide Each player begins the race weekend with 200 Husky Dollars (HD) You play by placing an amount of HD on each criteria until you have no remaining HD from the 200 you began with.
