A Climbing Dog Escapes Its Cage
I think this dog must have long claws to be able to climb those screen walls:
Hope he didn’t hurt himself on the way down.

Answers About Newfoundland Dogs
We’ve had Wally the Newfoundland Dog for a week. Here are some common questions I get about him, including some observations:

I Need A Name For Our New Puppy
I’m picking up our Newfoundland puppy from Halifax airport today. He’s being shipped from Gander, courtesy of the excellent Seagirt Kennels in northern Newfoundland.
We haven’t picked out a name yet. Any suggestions? I’ll post a photo of him tonight or tomorrow.
Update (May 28, 2008): We picked “Wally”.

Canine Birth Control
Dog Condoms:
Just like with human condoms, the dog may experience a slight loss of sensation. However, the condoms are made of a very thin latex which should transmit heat well, a key factor in creating a lifelike feel. We are also experimenting with new scents, which work like a “doggy Viagra”, providing further sensory stimulation.

Blogging The Dog
Dogblog:
As I walk around San Francisco, I encounter dogs tied to things, take their pictures, and offer them up to the world with whatever commentary springs to mind.
An amusing, original, useless website.
