My Dog Used to Hike Rocks

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

So my late dog Barney used to hike rocks.  Yes, hiking like you would hike a football.  We had big 10 pound (that’s a guess) rocks in our backyard and he loved to hike them.  It was hilarious to say the least.  This was before the dawning of YouTube, so unfortunately  we do not have a video of it.  It was during the peak of the pet trick shows and we couldn’t find time to get this on video.  I guess we didn’t want to win $10,000.

Anyway, I have been trying to find a video of a dog that hikes rocks like Barney did, but every time I search on YouTube I get back dogs that are hiking in the mountains or something.  If anyone out there finds a video like this, please send me the link or if your dog hikes rocks – stop everything you are doing right now and go video it.  Then, post it on YouTube and send me the link.  I’d be forever grateful.  Barney would be too!

What’s Up with the Smiley Face?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Some people have asked why my company, Pet Possibilities, uses a universal smiley face for our logo instead of a cute little dog or cat or some other pet.  Well, the answer is in our tagline: “unique pet supplies that make you and your pet happy”.  In other words, we want to put a smile on your face and your pet’s.  If we don’t accomplish that, then please let us know and we’ll turn that sad face upside down.

Another good interview on NPR

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

As Animal Week continues, there was another good interview on Fresh Air – at least the few minutes I heard.  If you missed it (or most of it like me), you can download it here.  Very interesting stuff.
