There goes the neighborhood

Boy, I have been barking at a lot of squirrels lately. They seem to be everywhere!

But at least I don't have to put up with the critters that are in this Canadian neighborhood.

I have to admit - they are magnificent animals. See more moose gang photos

Dog O'Lanterns

What better subject for a Halloween jack-o-lantern pumpkin then a canine?

These dog pictures and pumpkin carvings are great but how come there is not a black lab pumpkin?

Wiener Dog races

Let me make it clear right away. I do not like to run. I would rather walk and sniff and take my time. I am a Lab, not a Greyhound.

But when I have to run (to chase off a squirrel or other critter) I can turn it on.

So I know I could beat these little wiener dogs that were "racing" at the Cleveland Oktoberfest.

Most Popular Cat Names

Let's all admit it. Cats and cat owners are strange creatures. That is why they have such silly names.

The list of Top 20 Cat Names in the United States includes such names as

Sassy

Simba

Princess and

Oreo.

I rest my case. You would never hear of a self-respecting dog with such a name.
