 Do you like to play trivia games? How about one that helps feed homeless pets? We do! And thanks to everyone who plays their free (and fun!) online game, Freekibble.com has donated over 1,779,084 meals to homeless dogs and cats, food to 13 monthly shelters, and over 60 large one-time donations to shelters across the country. On November 5th, they will donate 5 times the kibble (50 pieces), for each person that plays Bow-wow trivia, with no limit on the kibble! Their goal is to generate 5 million pieces of kibble on the 5th. Are you ready to play? http://www.freekibble.com/hi-5.asp Read More

 I don’t know about you, but if I hear anything else about Balloon Boy, I’m going to scream (Whew. I resisted the easy “I’m going to pop” pun). All the same, the smart part of my brain sees another side to this. Sure, I find the story annoying and the parents’ actions questionable at best, but at the same time I’m oddly intrigued and even (dare I say?) inspired. I mean, after all, Richard and Mayumi Heene allegedly orchestrated something that had an entire nation riveted, watching at the edge of our seats to see where the story would take us. They had us in the palm of their hands. Even after the incident was exposed as a hoax, they still had us all talking about it. Read More

 Over the past six months Arizona Basset Hound Rescue (AZBHR) rescued an incredible 52 Basset Hounds from a puppy mill in Pinal County. They were able to save and care for so many dogs because of their amazing big network of foster homes (97 dogs in foster care as of today!), volunteers, and donors with very big hearts! We had the chance to speak to AZBHR’s president, Kim Bruck, not only about this wonderful rescue’s work over the past decade, but how she’s helped over the past 5 years. As our Hero of the Month, we applaud her and all her volunteers’ efforts in saving the lives of so many Basset Hounds in need – over 1300 since they started, with 158 so far in 2009 alone! Read More
