Sometimes, great things come in big, brown packages like Miss Mocha. Her mommy Laura Valentine says, "The smile and ears are a dead giveaway that this is one fun-loving mush of a dog who has me wrapped around her delicate paw.

aaawwwwww....

Is there anything more awwwww-inspiring than the sight of a dog in a cast?

How about two casts?

We don't think so. And neither does Michelle, who admits to having a "fetish" for animals so indisposed, and shares 50+ photos guaranteed to make you want to jump into your monitor to pet these precious babies' keppies and tell them it's all gonna be OK. Of course, although we find these downcast dogs and other plaster-pawed friends irresistibly adorable in their casts and want to squeeze them almost to the point of breaking more of their bones, we bite our lips in sympathy and clutch hankies close to our chests when we're not busy wiping our tears with them!

ModernPooch is in the midst of a transformation! From cocoon to butterfly! Or from sole blogging to group blogging! This will mean more posts for you dog lovers!!

Our first addition to the team is Jodi, a dog and pun obsessed blogger! Anyone who knows anything about the dog community or blogging knows that both these conditions are pre-requisites for the job!

We are grateful for Jodi's participation and look forward to many more puntastic posts on pooches!! See the two posts below by Jodi for proof!! Woof!

Let's face it. Some days neither you nor your dog want any business with the outside world. You don't want to go out there, and he doesn't want to go out there. But what are you gonna do, right? And where's he gonna do what he's gotta do, huh?

Well, now you don't have to worry! The good people at Wizdog came up with quite a nifty solution for you and your pup-pee.

What a relief!

Here at Modern Pooch, every dog we see presents us with the opportunity to ask ourselves, "Does it get any cuter than this?" Which then begs the answer, "No. No, it does not."

We know you'll agree that it cannot possibly get cuter than this:

And look! She's just as snow-dorable coming ...

... as she is going:

Many thanks to Amy from China, who sent in these photos of her friend Amanda's snow-loving pooch, Maddie, taken in Central Park during this weekend's blizzard.
