Woman Scares Off Burglar by Acting Like a Dog

ATHENS, Ga. — Police are investigating after an Athens woman scared off a would-be burglar by acting like a dog. The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that the woman scared off the suspect around 11 p.m. Saturday.

According to police, the woman got on the floor and began scratching at the door and acting like a dog when the suspicious man tried turning the woman's door knob.

The police report did not say what specific dog-like behaviors, such as barking, (or possibly crotch-licking?) the woman mimicked, nor did they mention what type of dog the woman imitated.

Owner of Vomiting Pug Arrested on the Subway

After reading the article, I still can't make sense of what actually happened here, but it's clear that a woman caused a disturbance on the subway after her Pug threw up. I'm not sure if there are any political implications, or if this is in any way related to the protests in Iran. Neither Al Sharpton, nor Ayatollah Mugsy have commented on the arrest...

6/30/09 - NYPD officers arrested an L train rider over “a 15lb pug that [she] took out of his tote bag for throwing up and overheating, ” but not before threatening to put the dog down and telling the owner, “If you’re going to act like a woman I’m going to treat you like a woman...

President Obama Unveils Weiner in Public

A cash-strapped White House unveiled a new weapon in their surveillance program today, code-named the "Stealth Weiner" program. While phasing out expensive programs such as the $1B Stealth bomber, and the deeply unpopular Bush Wire-Tapping Program, the military has been looking for alternate ways to gather information.

According to the White House, the Stealth Weiner will be able to gather information while sniffing out potential evil-doers.

"Today," said President Obama, "We are unveiling our weiner, and using it against the terrorists."

With his wife cheering him on, President Obama then demonstrated how a weiner can be unleashed safely, and secretively, even in a public setting.

There is no word on the scope or cost of the new program, but the President assured the crowd that, "weiners are very popular, and require little maintenance."

German Shepherd Deja Vu

6/18/09 - Man Receives 5 Clones of His Deceased German Shepherd

Trakr, the German Shepherd, died in April. But on Wednesday, his former owner took home five clones of the German shepherd as the winner of a contest run by a business that does stem-cell research and microengineering.

In his career as a search-and-rescue dog, Trakr helped recover more than $1 million in stolen goods and sniffed out the final survivor in the rubble of the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks... read full article (ethical?)

OT: Politics Turning into familiar Frank Capra Movie

Although not dog-related, I would like to point out that American politics are boiling down to something eerily close to the plot of, "It's a Wonderful Life." Accordingly, the current financial crisis will end on New Year's Eve as the entire Obama family sings a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
"Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?

Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be," - President Obama, responding to Dick Cheney's criticism of The Bailout.

Warning: Terrorist Squirrels

The terror alert level was raised to "Gray" today, after it was reported that one or more dogs have been attacked by terrorist squirrels.

According to Dick Cheney, these squirrels may be affiliated with the "radical" community organization, ACORN, and may be the SAME unpatriotic squirrels that have reportedly been stealing American Flags from a Michigan cemetary, although critics insist that there is no evidence to suggest that the events are related.

The attack happened shortly after President Obama made a speech addressing Middle Eastern leaders from Egypt, although it is not known if the events are related.

After making the accusations, Dick Cheney quickly returned to his Washington DC area bunker.

"The Squirrels hate us for our freedom" say off-leash dogs.

World's Meanest Dog: The English Cocker Spaniel

5/22/09 - A cute, floppy-eared, innocent-looking breed may be one of the world's most aggressive according to a new study that found English Cocker Spaniels seem to be more militant than other breeds.

The discovery adds to the mounting evidence that aggressiveness is an inherited characteristic. This finding suggests that both genes and breeding practices both help determine how a dog will behave.

"In our country and according to our database, the English cocker spaniel is the breed that shows more aggression problems," lead author Marta Amat told Discovery News, while groveling at the feet of his 20 pound master... read article

Dog Falls Overboard; Found 4 Months Later

AP- A pet dog that fell overboard in rough seas off Australia has been reunited with its owners after surviving alone on an island for four months, reports said.

Sophie Tucker, apparently named after a late US entertainer, fell overboard as Jan Griffith and her family sailed through choppy waters off the northeast Queensland coast in November.

The dog was believed to have drowned and Griffith said the family was devastated.

But out of sight of the family, Sophie Tucker was swimming doggedly and finally made it to St Bees Island, five nautical miles away, and began the sort of life popularised by the TV reality show "Survivor."

She was returned to her family last week when Griffith contacted rangers who had captured a dog that had been living off feral goats on the largely uninhabited island, in the faint hope it might be their long-lost pet.

When the Griffiths met the rangers' boat bringing the dog to the mainland they found that it was indeed Sophie Tucker on board.

"We called the dog and she started whimpering and banging the cage and they let her out and she just about flattened us," Griffith told the national AAP news agency.

"She wriggled around like a mad thing."

Griffith said that when the dog was first spotted on the island she had been in poor condition.

"And then all of a sudden she started to look good and it was when the rangers had found baby goat carcasses so she'd started eating baby goats."

Not sure which breed is best suited to survive a similar ordeal. I'm thinking that if various breeds were stranded together, there might be an interesting "Lord of the Flies" scenario." Thoughts?

"Walter the Farting Dog" Movie to Be Made

The Jonas brothers are set to make their big screen feature film debut in Fox's "Walter the Farting Dog," Variety reports. The film, about a dog with a serious flatulence issues, is based on the bestselling book series by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray.

"Walter" is set to include Nick, Joe and Kevin, plus younger brother Frankie. The movie is reportedly a possible directing project for Peter and Bobby Farrelly.

"By the time they've driven the dog home, everybody's head is out the window of the family station wagon but Frankie, and only because he has a serious sinus problem and doesn't notice the stench coming from Walter," Peter Farrelly told Variety of the movie.

Transformers Sequel a Go

Transformers Sequel Moves Ahead With Lower Budget

AP: Executive Producer Steven Spielberg confirmed today that the script for Transformers 2 is already complete. However, Speilberg admits that the recent downturn in the economy has forced them to work with a "significantly lower" budget.

"The first movie relied on Dreamworks to create stunning visual effects. We were also able to sign relatively unknown Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox for the two lead roles. Since then, things have changed. Those actors now command a lot of money, plus, a lot of us were affected by the whole Madoff thing."

"We had to make a few compromises for the sequel to come in under budget. For one thing, we're replacing the actors with dogs. Also, instead of using computer effects, we're going to be working mostly with cardboard."

The Viacom-owned studios have set a tentative release date for June 26, 2009.

Today I found a coupon for PetcareChoice, offering a 10% discount off their already low prices. I did a little research, and even without the coupon, they look to have the lowest prices online for the most popular medications for dogs and cats.

I started to compile a list of price comparisons for popular pet medications, and then found this chart on petcarechoice.com that seem shows just low low their discount prices are, even without a coupon or promotion code:
These prices are by far the best that I can find online for popular medications like Frontline Plus for dogs and cats. Even when the petcarechoice coupon ends, if for any reason it isn't accepted, the prices are still significantly lower than anywhere else online, and larger orders qualify for free shipping.

I'm buying some Frontline Plus for large dogs today, and you can see that as of 7/09/09 the petcarechoice coupon code is working:

For me, that's about $35 cheaper than the other online petmed stores that I tried. Also, see the chart above for discounts on Heartgard, Advantage for dogs, Revolution, and More. They also offer a promotion for free shipping for a year when you spend $75 on your order! Hope you can use the discount, just in time for flea and tick season.

Dog Climbs onto Roof in Protest

Minot, N.D. - A dog in North Dakota used a snowbank to climb onto the roof today. It is not known what motivated the dog to take such action, but some believe that the dog was protesting the latest government bailout of corporate "fat cats" announced today.

The new bailout will give another $800 billion in taxpayer money to failed banks, so that they may continue to dole out million dollar bonuses and continue with their failing business plans.

Dogs across the country are encouraged to join this "roof-in" by climbing onto the roof to howl in protest. (If your dog says "roof!" to you, it may be asking for assistance) - Full Roof-Dog story
