A Tribute To Uggie

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Uggie, the adorable Jack Russell terrier and famous star of the silver screen. If you weren't aware of his back story, his owner and trainer saw potential in the adorable pooch and adopted him just before he was headed to the shelter. He'd been previously relinquished by two owners who didn't know how to channel his energy.

Turns out he was a superstar all along! Although he was deemed not eligible for an Oscar for his mesmerizing performance in "The Artist", Uggie's paw prints are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Uggie is the perfect, international example of why all dogs are special, and each and every one deserves a loving, forever home. Enjoy this beautiful tribute from CBS Sunday Morning.

78 Year Old Dog Rescuer Gets Really Mad!

You gotta love this story. If you're a devotee of the CBS News Sunday Morning program like Parental Unit and I are, you might have already seen this segment. But if not, you're bound to enjoy this video taken from the CBS News website.

Here's what you'll see in this approximately 8 minute segment that was broadcast this past Sunday: a 78 year old woman (with a heart condition, no less) got the run-a-round from her local cable company when she was having problems with her phone service. And, well, she simply took matters into her own hands...along with a hammer! What's the connection to dogs, you ask? She and her husband just happen to rescue ederly dogs:-)

I'm guessing that each of us has put up with poor "customer service" at one time or another, but this lovely woman (our new hero!) decided she wasn't going to take it anymore.

What would you do? Let us know!






P.S. Look forward to lots of product reviews and give-a-ways coming up soon and lasting through the holiday season! I know that Parental Unit promised that for the month of October, but we're just getting things arranged, so please excuse the delay.
