Doggy star Uggie to release autobiography

Awards season scene stealer Uggie - he of "The Artist" and of being adorable fame - will release his memoir, "Uggie: My Story," on Gallery Books in October.

The Jack Russell terrier is collaborating with human biographer Wendy Holden on the project, which will include the story of his triumphant rise through Hollywood, including tails - er, tales - of working with stars like Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants" and mingling with celebs like George Clooney, Katy Perry and Jessica Simpson.



 A Gallery Books release states "Uggie: My Story"
will also include the seedier details of his life, including "a candid
look at his private demons and his life as a felon, including cat
murderer." The release also refers to Witherspoon as the "love of his
life."

Product review: DERMagic Flea Bar

The weather here in Illinois is finally heading towards summer and guess what, along with warmer weather, the little blood-suckers - fleas and ticks - are also making their appearance.



Just playing in the back yard, our new puppy, Poppy, had two ticks and a few fleas in her fur. Good thing we had a sample of DERMagic Flea Bar which I was waiting to use on an occasion just like this.



First off, the DERMagic Flea Bar smells wonderful!



We thought that the bar would be more difficult to apply than a liquid soap, but that wasn't the case. The lather was nice, easy to use, and we didn't have spilled liquid shampoo all over the place.



The DERMagic Organic Diatomaceous Earth Flea Bar uniquely uses a combination of diatomaceous earth and essential oils. Diatomaceous earth is deadly to any insect or larvae, each tiny “shell” is very sharp, like razor blades to insects, but completely harmless to all animals, fish, birds, both externally and internally.



Poppy is now clean, sweet smelling and insect free. Thank you, DERMagic!

Take a look at the DERMagic website for this product and their entire line of skin care for animals.

US Presidental campaign goes to the dogs

It's either an amusing way to follow the 2012 presidential campaign, or the death rattle for meaningful political discourse in America.



The campaigns' latest dive into pettiness came late Tuesday, as Romney adviser Fehrnstrom and Obama adviser Axelrod jousted over the issue of ... dogs.



Democrats have portrayed Romney as an uncaring dog owner by citing a much-publicized family trip to Canada in 1983, when Romney transported the family dog, Seamus, in a crate that was strapped to the top of the Romneys' car.



Axelrod mocked Romney's campaign by tweeting a photo of Obama in the presidential limousine with his dog, Bo.



"How loving owners transport their dogs," Axelrod wrote.



Fehrnstrom struck back late Tuesday by quoting Obama's book "Dreams from My Father," in which Obama had described being fed dog meat when he was living in Indonesia between the ages of 6 and 10.



Fehrnstrom re-tweeted Axelrod's photo of Obama and Bo but added a new caption: "In hindsight, a chilling photo."

NOTE: To give equal photo time to both parties we tried very, very hard to find a photo of Mr. Romney holding a dog, being next to a dog, or even being anywhere close to a dog. We couldn't find any. Can anyone help?

Titanic dogs

I never thought much about whether there were pets aboard the Titanic or not, until I read an article at the Huffington Post about a new Titanic centennial museum exhibit which tells about the dogs which were on board the Titanic on April 15, 1912, all pets of first-class passengers.



Of the dogs on board, only three survived: a baby Pomeranian, owned by Margaret Hays of New York City, who kept the puppy in the cabin with her, Sun Yat-sen, a Pekinese belonging to Henry and Myra Harper (of Harper & Row publishing fame), and a small Pomeranian owned by Elizabeth Rothschild from Watkins Glen, N.Y.
