In anticipation of that great time of year when we feel no remorse for dressing our doggies up like piggies, here's some inspiration!

And remember, it only seems like he doesn't like it and is screaming for help. Really he's saying Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I can't thank you enough.

Q: How do we get our dog to California without putting her in the cargo hold (can't happen, as far as we are concerned)? How would we go about getting her on board the cabin with us? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A: ???

I think this is a great question. Our Sparky used to ride in cargo and I always felt it was shockingly inhumane - she was always a nervous wreck greeting us after the flight. I know smaller dogs can ride under one's seat. Is it a size restriction? If you could afford to pay for a seat, would that be allowed??

The Lone Star Bulldog Rescue is holding a fundraiser to help rescue bulldogs at their annual Bull-o-ween! They are not asking individuals for money, but instead for donated products or services that they can enter into the silent auction. All funds raised will go toward medical expenses and for the care for rescue Bulldogs. Sounds like a great cause to us at ModernPooch!

You can find out more about this great event here and also see cute pics from last year's Bull-o-ween - here's a teaser!

Sit on the bench right in front of the opening to the Union Square Dog Park. I guarantee an afternoon of ogling, squeeling and stalking. It's a pooch parade and it's free and fun!

Thanks to our contact over at CourtTV, we have the latest sophisticated puppy stealing technique to study so we know where to look for stolen puppies in the future!

Oh dear. You will be shocked and squeemish:

Hey, they're not pooches! They're curious chickadees!

The way to eradicate rabies is not to grab them from their owners and beat them.
