The ’70s were a wild ride, man. The dogs were going crazy. Everybody was dancing. The party never ended. And then the suddenly the ball dropped and it was the ’80s, and everybody was in banking. Total bummer, dude. [YouTube]

Did Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Adopt A Dog Together?
We’re still not 100 percent sure if Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple. But it sure looks like they’ve adopted a puppy together. The two supposedly got the little guy from a shelter in Baton Rouge, LA, and named him Bear. Nikki Reed was the one who let the news of their co-pet ownership slip saying, “I didn’t even know they got a dog.” When reporters pounced on the use of the word “they,” she said, “Oh no, it’s Rob’s dog.” But then Robert and Kristen took him to the vet together. And brought him to set in Vancouver. Now, Kristen is caring for the dog in New York while Robert is in London promoting “Water for Elephants.”
So my question is: is it a good idea for couples to adopt pets together before making things permanent? I’m thinking of a good friend who now gets her pooch every other week after she and her boyfriend broke up. [E! Online, Hollywood Life] Keep reading »
Gratuitous Dog/Baby Video
Here is your cute porn for the day. Dog (who just so happens to look like my parent’s pooch) loves baby. Dog jumps for baby over and over again. Dog will not be deterred from mission. In other news, Osama Bin Ladin is dead. Gonna watch this video again. [The Daily What] Keep reading »
Dog Scoots Around
Meet Norman, a 20-month-old Briard (although Julie says he looks like a Muppet) from Canton, Georgia. While Norman likes standard puppy activities like fetch, eating trash, and barking at shadows, his favorite way to pass the time is by riding his scooter. Above, Norman in action. I clearly need to be encouraging Lucca to be more ambitious. [Dlisted] Keep reading »

Fido’s Chance At Sartorial Superstardom
I want a dog. Badly. But unfortunately, living in Manhattan with roommates is not exactly conducive to housing puppies. The Limited is making it really hard for me to stray from adopting a little pet of my own, as they’ve launched a brand new line of sweaters for man (and woman’s) best friend. Along with the precious teeny clothes is a genius social marketing campaign: upload photos and all the details about your pet’s name to the “Fabulous Pet Names” contest for a chance to win prizes, including a photo-shoot with your beloved pup or a new iPod. At the very least, the site provides a great procrastination (or inspiration) tool, since you can browse everyone who has entered. Maybe I’ll finally figure out the name of my currently non-existent doggie? [The Limited] Keep reading »
Quick Tip Of The Day: How To Give Your Dog Medicine
As I’ve already mentioned, my dog Lucca got herself a nasty case of abscessed anal glands the other week, which resulted in her getting them drained surgically. She had to take these big ol’ horse pills twice a day for a week and rather than chasing her around the apartment, dropping the pill down her throat and holding her snout closed until she swallowed, she ate them happily. How? I hid one in a big ol’ ball of peanut butter. Cream cheese works too. Keep reading »
I Want To Hold Your Hand (And Walk Your Dog)
Oh, no! Someone captured Thing from “The Addams Family” and glued him to a dog leash!
Usually, disembodied hands are pretty creepy, but, we gotta say, the handle on this leash is pretty cool. Probably not as nice as holding a real human hand while walking a pooch, though. [price unknown, Alice Wang] Keep reading »
Would You Take Your Dog’s Teeth Out So He Couldn’t Bite?
Cotton is a white poofball, an American Eskimo dog with perky eras and a long, lolling tongue. But underneath her cuddly exterior masked a mouthful of sharp teeth. Small-child-shredding, lawsuit-spurring sharp teeth.
Cotton’s owners tried all kinds of things to stop him from biting: a muzzle, puppy classes, books, videos, a dog aggression expert, a low protein diet and even an herbal remedy. They even tried less, uh, kind routes, like pepper spray and empty soda cans filled with rocks. (Jeez.) But nothing makes Cotton chill out.
So Cotton’s owners, the Krieger family, did something unusual. They had a doggie dentist zap away four millimeters of the pooch’s teeth using a laser. Keep reading »
