Summer Fun at the Beach



All dogs should be able to do this! Roll around in the sand, get nice and dirty, sandy, icky and wet. Go for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean, chase some sticks and balls, swim out so you look like a manatee coming on shore and swallow some salt water! Thanks Pam and Al for taking a day off and taking me swimming at the beach.

Dogs Mouths Are Cleaner than Humans!


First I'd like to thank my Friend, Tom for keeping up with the blog. He knows where to find the most happening dog around! He asks how I find the time. Well, it isn't easy between, swimming, eating, sleeping and being (yuck) trained. That last one, I am really just pretending to listen, just wait til the time comes!

I read an article in the Dr. Donohue column today that really infuriates me. Don't know where he got his training, but he says that a dog's mouth is not cleaner than a human's. It "grosses" him out to think abut eating food that has touched a dog's lips, teeth, tongue, mouth. He says we are filled with bacteria!

I have scientific proof to the contrary! My friend Liz performed a science test for her science fair project a few years back. She swabbed the inside of a cat's mouth, dog and human. She let it percolate in a petri dish for awhile. RESULTS: Dog had the cleanest mouth! There you go, proof! My mama let's me lick her ice cream cone and she has no problem eating together!

Let's bake some cookies and I'll lick the spoon!
