Bright Mind




Not that I am endorsing any brand of commercial dog food (although Millie does eat Purina Pro Plan Focus), but I do wish I had had a specially formulated geriatric food for Amos when he was in his declining stages. I ended up cooking for him, which he sometimes ate, or sometimes didn't but the trick was to get the nutrients found in dog food into him--which was a challenge.

I truly do believe there is a market for geriatric dog food since our pets are living longer. And at the end, I was willing to try anything.

Belmont



In case you haven't heard, there's Triple Crown at stake this afternoon at Belmont. California Chrome could become the first horse since 1978 to sweep the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont.

Can he do it? I don't know but expect strong competition from Wicked Strong and Ride on Curlin.

Either way, it will be a great race.

Ikea Ads



A clever campaign by the Ikea store in Singapore to make life-size cutouts of homeless dogs and display them in the showrooms, complete with ID tags to scan for more info.

In other words, a dog would complete the look!

Make Way for Ducklings



Gotta love this! A good samaritan rescues 13 duck eggs when the mother was killed. He put them in his incubator and all of them hatched. When they did, they imprinted on him. Make way for ducklings!!
