The 10 Most Dangerous Dogs

Dogs are man’s best friend.  At least, until someone gets bitten.  Then the offending dog is nobody’s friend.

We have friends with all sorts of dogs, running the gamut from lap dogs to big ol’ greyhounds.  Even a Great Dane has been in the mix.  A litter of pitbulls. No poodles, though.  Not that we know of, at least.

But we’ve only seen one dog attack amongst all the dogs we’ve been familiar with.  And in hindsight, maybe there’s a reason for it.

10 Things Most Likely to Harm Your Cat

How much money have you spent on your pets on doctor care over the years?

Some people would rather spend that health money on their cats than they would for themselves.  Their cat is just as much a member of the family as a child, and worth every penny.

OMG! It’s the KITTEN BOWL!

It’s what some media analysts are already calling the SUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN OF THE CENTURY, and the NFL has absolutely nothing to do with this one.

It’s all about creating the most entertaining alternative programming during the annual Football Championship Game, and there’s a new challenger in place this time that is making a lot of noise.

10 Reasons You Don’t want an Owl as a Pet

Web Watch has a friend who used to own a pet parakeet.

We say “used to”, as Alvin wasn’t very happy to be kept in his cage.  So every few days, our friend would let Alvin the Parakeet fly around the apartment – just because he could.

This arrangement seemed to work out well for Alvin.  Until one day when our friend opened up Alvin’s cage door like he has done dozens upon dozens of times before… and Alvin flew straight out the apartment’s sliding glass door that our friend inadvertently left open.

Whoops.

Alvin was never seen again.

What’s the best dog food?

If you have a dog, then chances are you know how easy it is to find food that your dog will like.

Basically — is it food?  Let’s eat!

Very rarely are you going to run into a dog that doesn’t like anything you put in a bowl in front of them, or drop on the floor, or leave available on the counter.  Dogs will eat pretty much anything you give them.

How to feed your cat: what food do cats like best

Cats can be known for being pretty particular about their food.

Pet owners will do anything to please their feline friends.  Dogs? They’ll eat just about anything — wet, dry, with gravy, from a box, in a bowl, out of the toilet…  but cats? They’re something a bit more special and refined.

Is it any wonder that the cat food aisle at the grocery store is stocked with more flavors than the soup aisle?  But more importantly, do cats really care what you feed them?

Dogs like tails that wag the right way

Dogs are very expressive animals.  You can tell when they’re happy, you can tell when they’re sad. You can tell when they know that they’ve done something wrong.

There’s a reason that dog’s are called Man’s Best Friend, in part because there is that charade of communication that pet owners have with their dog that goes beyond a mere belly rub.

The problem with fake service dogs

The other day, Web Watch was in a grocery store where we saw a woman with her chihuahua on a leash walking through the produce section.  The dog was wearing a “service dog vest”, indicating that this dog was specifically trained to assist the disabled in some manner.

And we’ve been seeing more and more of this.  Service dogs appear to be everywhere nowadays.  Have you seen this trend also?
