Dog

I'm sure you've seen dogs trained to roll over and play dead when they're trained to do so...but this (what looks like) husky takes it to the next level....and howls and moans in pain.

I was walking DJ yesterday in North Tonawanda, and a VICIOUS Scottie tried to attack her (of course, I'm being a little dramatic with the adjectives...), and I went all "protective mom" on this Scottie's you-know-what.

Obviously the stories coming out of Oklahoma have been heartbreaking. I'm doing all I can to not only pay tribute and respect, but also to find a glimmer of hope in some of this.  Here is my glimmer for this hour...

The old adage used to be that one year is equal to seven dog years.

Yep, just me, Crazy Dog Lady again.

It's National Pet Month. If you've listened to the Joy Morning Rush for more than five minutes, you know I'm wild about animals, but absolutely bananas for dogs.  I love my little DJ, my 18 month old lab I refer to a lot.

If you've got a pug, bulldog, or any other over-abundantly-blessed-with-floppy-skin dog, you know one thing: They snore.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be able to play piano and sing like Billy Joel or Elton John, but sadly I'm too uncoordinated. Apparently this dog has the same dream!

If you don't find yourself cracking a smile at the least, or doubling over in laughter at the most, you must check your pulse.

Thank you to the guys from Canine Cupcakes for bringing in treats for the pups here at Joy FM! Laura said that DJ had no trouble eating her cupcake, but my dog Shadow is, well...special.

I've never had a dog or cat or had to go through the pain of losing an animal. My buddy lost his dog a little while back and even though he was not my dog, that was hard enough. Lennox, in this video, here is dying quick doctors say and doesn't move much because of his arthritis. But, he got one final good treat.

A local man from Cattaraugus County man has been charged with animal he shot a dog in the Town of South Valley.
