For the sake of keeping us all together and making new friends in the pet blogosphere I have started talking about my favorite pet blogs once a week. This week’s Pet Blog of the Week is Lab Tails.

Lab Tails is about the lives of FIVE Labrador Retrievers: Ridge, Pinot, Elsie, Baxter and Kenya. They are all great friends and seem to have so much fun playing together, sharing sticks and toys, cuddling on the dog hammock, etc.

Lab Tails is written by the labs’ human Mom. She says her blog is about “observations about and lessons learned from three (no, make that four) (now it’s FIVE) Labrador Retrievers.”

These five playful labs have a HUGE plot of fenced in yard to play in. They seem to be spoiled (just like we are - this is now Benson and Gibson typing this up - we stole the laptop while she wasn’t looking). Their human Mom bought them dog hammocks (raised beds) that we are just dying to try out! They are so cool and keep dogs off the ground!

These labs always have so much fun retrieving (check out this post of a triple-threat retrieve). Some (or one of?) them are bred so they can keep up the family name (how important for a strapping retriever!).

This is one of our favorite pictures of the Lab Tails’ dogs:

If you are looking for some entertainment and fun, we encourage you to check out Lab Tails. It’s one of our new favorites!

For the sake of keeping us all together and making new friends in the pet blogosphere I have started talking about my favorite pet blogs once a week. This week’s wonderful pet blog is a dog blog. It’s called A Dog’s Life, the Real Story.

Our Golden Retriever friend Mogley is the author/blogger over there. Mogley sure is a lucky dog. He gets to have foster brothers and sisters to play with all the time because his humans are such wonderful people. They are so wonderful that they take in foster Golden Retrievers from Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (funny that the acronym is “GRRR!” BOL!)

Mogley always has so much fun with the other dogs and he loves to play. He loves to play more than any other dog we have ever come to know. Mogley’s humans often take Mogley & Co. to the parks and trails out there in beautious Colorado where they find all kinds of streams, lakes, ponds and swamps to gallup around in. Lucky duck! The pictures of such pre-meditated swamp swimmings (often done without human’s permission) are hilarious! We always get a great BOL when we see them and so does our human! She says it is so typical of us Golden Retrievers to take unsupervised swims before our humans know what we are getting into. Mogley also likes to run through the sprinkler!

From Mogley’s blog:

My Humans leave the key board of the computer on the fireplace hearth so I can write my own blog and tell you about the daily life of a Golden Retriever. I am a foster dog, living with a family that provided me a home when I was homeless. A poodle once said that golden retrievers can’t spell, but poodles can’t run spell check! Read the first blog, it was written by a human, but it gives you my history.”

Although Mogley says that he is a foster dog, we suspect that he is in his forever home.

We encourage everyone to go and check out A Dog’s Life, the Real Story, because it’s real true! We Goldens live like Kings (as do most of the dogs we have met in the pet blogosphere!). We visit Mogley on a daily basis to see what he is up to. His life is SO exciting!

Take care everyone and have a grrr-eat weekend

Love Benson and Gibson

For the sake of keeping us all together and making new friends in the pet blogosphere I have started talking about my favorite pet blogs once a week.

The pet blog of the week this week is the famous Dogster For the Love of Dog Blog. Dogster is wildy popular among animal-lovers and has a great mix of information, pets in the news and cute stories.

The pets who live at Dogster are Sol, Annie, Beatrice and Star. Their human, Joy, always has interesting things to stay and keeps readers very up-to-date on the pet food recalls, any pet stories in the news, and on certain animal welfare issues. Just this week Joy had a great post about a petition readers can sign to boycott Amish products until the Amish stop the abuse and practice of inhumane, horrid puppy mills.

From the blog’s About Us section:

We’re dog lovers that thought it was about time there was a fun blog to stay up-to-dog about everything canine. Our editor, Joy Ward, sniffs out the best squirrels of dog pleasure. The blog is brought to you by Dogster, Inc, makers of the hydrant-famous Dogster and the unnecessarily-feared Catster.”

Dogster always has some great conversation going and I encourage everyone to visit there often! I know I do!

 For the sake of keeping us all together and makin g new friends in the pet blogosphere I am going to start talking about my favorite pet blogs once a week (I have SO many).

 I came across a blog recently that immediately captivated me. It made m e laugh out loud and it made me want to love and hug the owner: Wimsey. The bloodhound blog is called Wimsey’ s Blog: Diary of a Manhattan Bloodhound.

Now part of me is probably in love with this blog because I am in love with this dog. I spend a lot of time perusing bloodhound pictures online because I love these dogs so much. I have ALWAYS wanted a Bloodhound and I always tell myself that as soon as I get my own house I will be rescuing one.

Anyways, Wimsey is the quintessential hound of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. He has superb taste in everything: gourmet food, stuffed toys, and especially humans. His humans are hound dog afficianados who offer loads of affection, meals, and romps in the city’s parks that last for hours. They often tire themselves out for Wimsey’s sake. As you can see from his absolutely adorable picture, Wimsey is a special speciment, perfect in every form (except for his hearing, he can hear okay but for some reason never listens).

Wimsey is so perfect that he says his humans make jokes because visitors and new friends in the park only talk to him; they aren’t interested in the humans.

I am so in love with Wimsey the blood hound that I plan to ask his humans if I can meet him when I am in NYC this month.

Does that make me a dog stalker…?

Anyhow, you should check out Wimsey’s Blog is you’re looking for a laugh (and for a strikingly beautiful dog). Wimsey has fast become one of my favorite pets even though I don’t know him. And his blog is worth visiting if you want to make friends with more of our lovely pets here in this blogosphere.

 Look for another favorite pet blog next week!
