This dog displayed the kind of loyalty that we should all aspire to.

Mighty Dog -- My Favorite!

I love the ground meat -- no gravy, please -- varieties.  My favorite flavor is "Chicken, Egg & Bacon Country Platter."
I highly recommend Mighty Dog for other picky little dogs like myself (the size of the can is just right for dogs my size, too)!

Dog vs. Duck Video

I thought this video was pretty funny.  I think I'd be a little braver when confronted with a baby duck!

Grooming Review

When your mom is holding a pair of clippers, the one thing you don't want to hear is "whoops!"  The last time she cut my hair, she gave me a big bald spot on my side.  Fortunately for me, I wouldn't let her take a picture. 

As for professional groomers, my mom really liked my groomer in Texas:
Mobile Pet Grooming

(956) 943-7755

They always groomed me the way my mom told them she wanted it, and it always looked cute.  They even brushed my teeth!  Plus, they came out to my house in a van, so I didn't have to do a lot of waiting around.  The only downside is they are very busy, and it can be hard to get an appointment.

After we moved from Texas, we tried the Petco in Sterling, VA.  My mom set up an appointment, but after being there about five hours, they were still only about half-done.  Dad told them he would pay for the work already done, and we left.  He was mad!  Their contact info, in case you still want to try them, is (571) 434-6562.  The address is 22000 Dulles Retail Plz Ste 110, Sterling, VA 20166-2515.

I went with mom on her business trip to Illinois, and she took me to a Petsmart near our hotel.  They did a pretty good job, but it was a pretty noisy and scary place.  I didn't like having to wait in cage in the back either; there were so many other dogs barking!  Mom couldn't find a mobile pet groomer in the area.  The Petsmart was located at 1440 E Golf Rd, Schaumburg, IL, and their phone number is (847) 413-0982.

Vet Review -- Dr. Missy's Vet Mobile

This is my favorite vet, although I've moved away.  Dr. Missy was always very gentle with me.  Better yet, she comes in an RV right to your house, so you don't have to wait in a noisy waiting room to see the doctor.  Still, her RV has all   If you're in the Brownsville/South Padre Island, Texas area, and need a rabies shot or someone to remove a rabbit bot fly larvae from under your skin (like I did), give Dr. Missy a call. 

That larvae almost made my mom throw up when she saw it.

Apologies

I'm a bad, bad blogger.  I can't believe I let so much time go by without adding a new post.  No excuses, but I will do better.
In keeping with being a better blogger, I've read that one of the cardinal rules in getting lots of hits is including pictures of hot girls in bikinis.
With that in mind, I offer this:

Sorry, but Scarlet Johanson doesn't do anything for me.

Tip of Texas K9 Rescue

I had a rough childhood, growing up on the mean streets of South Texas (They called me "Butch".  Butch!  What kind of name is that for a good-looking heterosexual dog?), but my life drastically improved once the lady at http://tipoftexk9rescue.org/ found me.  The rescue workers were kind to me, but I didn't get a lot of individual attention.  However, I'm grateful to them, because they helped me find my family.
I hope my friends all find someone to love them too.
