In an apparent gesture of goodwill, a 3-year old longhaired dachshund named Lillie took a stray kitten named Tahoe, under her wing, 3-Year-Old Dog Nurses Stray Kitten. The article describes how the relationship between these two induced a false pregnancy and produced the hormones needed to created milk. Fascinating. This is truly remarkable. Perhaps, a tiny glimmer of hope for dog cat relations world-wide?

Bulldogs are always getting a bad wrap. It’s so sad that they are often portrayed as anti-social, man eating creatures. I can assure you, they are not, my family had several over the years, they are essentially snicker’s bars with legs. Now, poor bulldogs are being denied a right that is essential to small dogs world wide, the freedom to fly. As of July 20, a restriction banning French, American & English Bulldogs will go into effect on Japan’s JAL Airways. JAL’s website states, “in general, dogs are susceptible to changes in temperature, humidity, light, pressure, and sound, such as those experienced on an airplane, and, in our experience, French Bulldogs and Bulldogs, specifically, are especially vulnerable to these changes.” Battles will be fought over this. Nations could be lost. Maybe, just maybe, all we need is love? And therapy.
“Now, you just help us out today, and find yourself a place where you won’t get into any trouble.
“Some place where there isn’t any trouble…Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It’s not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It’s far, far away — behind the moon — beyond the rain…”

A tell all article about a man in China describes, in great detail, the agony that ensued when an Liu Lin shaved their dog Si Si, to make him more comfortable for the summer. Si Si was far from pleased and “has been making this known to Liu by hiding under the sofas, beds and tables and by eating very little.” It is said that he is now under a vet’s care. The article is truly compelling and is a touching portrait of the small dog as a young man. What? Exactly.
Also, coming to us from China. A man in central China bit a dog to death while rescuing his own puppy from the animal. Geng was out patrolling his watermelon fields when he spotted a large dog holding his puppy in its mouth. Geng threw several watermelons at the large dog but his attempts were in vain. It was later revealed that, “Geng is famous in the village for usually biting others when in a fight, villagers said.” Needless to say, his puppy survived.

Diana Ross may be one of the most successful and well known artists of our times but, she’s not a friend to small dogs. A new biography claims that she assaulted an airline staff member with a hat box, that happened to contain a small dog. What was she doing carrying around a small dog in a hat box anyway? Do you think she planned on turning the poor pup into a hat? The biography also claims that Ross,” upstaged Florence Ballard - who was axed from The Supremes…at Ballard’s own funeral.” Allegedly, “Ross marched from her front-row pew to the altar, took the microphone and announced, ‘Mary and I would now like to have a silent prayer.’” A moment of silence for Ms. Ross, please.
