POPSPrudence the porker thinks she's a dog She loves to play with the dogs when she's not foraging for acorns and hazelnuts. She jumps around and chases sticks just like they do. It looks quite ridiculous but it seems so natural to her. 'And when they are worn out they all cuddle together and sleep in the meadow. It's lovely to see.'

POPSSiberian husky plays foster mother to kittens More: Now that they've been spayed or neutered, all three cats are available for adoption. "They're all incredibly sweet and friendly," Kidder said. "I'd love to adopt them myself, but I can't. It wouldn't be fair to my cat, Enkidu." But what will Tamerack do when her kittens are adopted? "I'm going to take her up to the snow as a reward," Kidder said. "If she's still missing them after that, I'll guess I'll have to start fostering more kittens."

POPSBAD RAP: Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls Getting a dog isn't a possibility in our current place (two humans, two cats, and a parrot in a smallish one-bedroom apartment), but once we're able to, {{Spiritualmonkey}} and I definitely plan to hook up with BAD RAP to find a dog who needs a good home.

POPSRescued fighting pit bull is now a therapy dog This big sappy moosh is all weepy now. More: In order to be certified, each dog and handler team must pass a rigorous, 15-part exam. "We try to mimic what some of the encounters might be like," said Marcia Fritzmeier, a TDI evaluator who administered Hector and Yori's test. TDI's exam tests each dog's manners, obedience, ease around people and reactions to situations such as loud noises and meeting other dogs. Fritzmeier was aware of Hector's background before his test and paid special attention to his temperament, extending some of the tests to be sure Hector would be a good therapy dog. "I could not believe the degree of excellence he passed this test with," she said. "He never stopped wagging his tail. He just enjoyed every second of it."

POPSHundreds of cats rescued from being eaten in China Eating meat is feeling increasingly wrong to me these days. I think of somebody eating my beloved cats or my parrot and I feel heartsick. But what really is the difference between eating a cat and eating a pig, or between eating a parrot and eating a chicken? Denis Leary's routine on the matter is funny ("You're a squirrel? Okay, you're cute, you can go. You're a cow? Get in the truck, you're dinner and a baseball glove!") but not, I think, morally or ethically coherent or justifiable.

POPS Dog Dodges Freeway Traffic To Help His Canine Mother The dog was brought to animal care and control in East Harlem, where they gave her pain medication and made her comfortable. Then, a vet looked her over. "She was alert," Lisa Ortiz said. "She picked up her head, she knew she was getting help." She suffered a broken leg and is expected to recover. She also wore no ID, but her owner saw the drama on TV, went to the vet center and whisked her away to an animal hospital. The owner told animal control that the other dog, who he also owns, is home now. Ortiz says the relationship between the dogs explains a lot. "It was heartwarming, they look out for each other," she said. To view video click link http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=resources/traffic&id=6812473

POPSInside Puppy Mills I think people who are willing to pay big bucks for a certain breed of puppy...are enabling this kind of mass production... Somebody needs to call Paris Hilton...put your money to good works for a change. Maybe she and Nicole need to get a job in a Puppy Mill..and get a little taste of reality for the life of the animals they love...
