Showbiz - News - Anne Hathaway shops for a new dog - Digital Spy

Anne Hathaway visited an animal rescue to adopt another dog. I love hearing about celebrities that prefer a rescue dog over purchasing a dog.

Shakespeare and his BFFs

Shakespeare loves Romeo and Princess so much that he cuddles close to them when they nap. He also snuggles up against them when they are awaiting food at dinner time. I work from home a couple of days a month and as I was working, Romeo and Shakespeare took up the open couch space next to me. They were napping together all day and Romeo would let out a kitten-sigh, adjust, and fall back asleep. Couldn't be cuter to see them together, deep in sleep. Romeo and Shakespeare play rough and love with their full hearts. It's so nice to see them together like this.

This is just crazy! If it works, that would be a fantastic way to capture the pictures of less cooperative animals (Romeo, our kitten would be a good example).

Ham Bone Dog Bones FDA Reviews | Dancing Dog Blog

Important article to read from a great blog, Dancing Dog Blog. Rule of thumb: ALWAYS watch your dog with a bone - NEVER leave them unattended. Don't assume the bones are safe just because they have been marketed as dog bones. I noticed Shakes will crunch bones so I don't give him any. Instead, I give him baked (hard) sweet potato treats and crunchy food for his teeth.

Vogue goes to the dogs...

via www.vogue.com

A nice slideshow of dogs featured in Vogue. My only criticism is that they tend to feature the dogs in more cliche, less creative ways. It would be nice if they gave the dogs a little more modern, simplified look rather than putting them all in top hats and veils in the "Wedded Bliss" feature. There are a few exceptions to this e.g. the featured picture of the Jack-mix looking quite cuddly and fashionable. It's interesting to see their take on dogs to be less cutting edge and artistic than their human features. There are some pictures that accomplish this, but I wasn't drawn in by the majority of the pictures.
