Seven Oaks (White Ln/Buena Vista)
I found the most adorable chihuahua puppy this morning as he ran into my garage when I got home from dropping my child off at school. It was quite strange how he just ran in there with no abandon and was just begging for attention, despite the fact that...

If you have lost your sweet little dachshund...he is with me. I found him east of Gosford on Kroll. If you know of someone that has lost their dog, please refer them to this site. Either way, get in touch with me so this little guy can go home to his family.

I know there are plenty of people who tend to sneer at much of what L.A. has to offer, But here's one area where they're getting it right. With kudos to the L.A. Times for putting the subject out there, here's an article about what the County is doing about animal cruelty.

Our furry friends have certainly been in the local news lately, whether it's a distracted police dog with a penchant for little black strays, or a cuddly, little pit bull who suffered the indignation of losing a street brawl with a 9-year-old.
But there have been others.
Who could forget Clyde,...

It's a Bakersfield institution. What more can be said?
There's even a black and white dog that pops in from time to time.

Bako haters are sometimes the slyest little creatures. They conceal their distaste of our fair city in the long (and often quite boring) paragraphs of their blog posts. They start talking about dogs and big beds and offer fascinating descriptions of dogs sleeping on big beds. And then all of...

It's bad enough that Dingo the family dog has to sit there during Thanksgiving dinner watching his humans stuff their faces with turkey and pie. His mournful eyes keep a lidded watch on the transference of stuffing from plate to fork to piehole.
He keeps a safe distance so he's not regarded as...

This story flew a little under the radar (O.K., waaaaaaay under the radar, since I can't even find it on the web site), but it looks like the City of Bakersfield may be close to taking a new approach towards dog licensing.
A City Council committee approved a pilot program proposal where a team...

This little girl was wandering around the Kern County building on M Street Tuesday morning. I'd say she's several months old.

Given that every spay/neuter proposal I’ve seen, including the one proposed in Bakersfield, exempts breeders, why are breeders so up in arms? The one thing the proposal does ask is that breeders be licensed. So, given that breeders are not being asked to alter their pets, but are...

I forgot to mention in my previous blog the plans for the sunroom, which is off of the dining room. The sunroom was the favorite room of the house for the pets. My cat enjoyed napping in the sun, and my dog enjoyed chewing his bones on the only carpeting in the house.
But when I start sanding in...

So, I arrived bright and early last Sunday for the SPCA cat neuter/spay day. My intention for the day was to be there doing one of the easy peasy jobs, like watching the cats in the recovery area as they came out of their anesthesia to make sure all was well before they went home.
Instead, I...
