The life I want
One of the blogs I visit frequently is Riviera Dogs. It is filled with excellent photos of dogs, taken in the south of France and Monaco.
Ahh, that's the life I would love - warm, sunshiny, relaxing ... with many tourists and local dogs, enjoying the scenery, the food, and the lifestyle. I, too, would take photos of all the cute dogs and their owners!
Riviera Dogs is administered by Jilly Bennett, who also owns a dog sitting facility, Pension Milou. When residents of the Cote d'Azur go away on holiday or business, they know their dog will be looked after in an environment just like home.
Jilly also maintains two outstanding photo blogs: Menton Daily Photo and Monte Carlo Daily Photo.
From Menton: Roquebrune village held its annual Fête des Châtaignes (the Chestnut Fête) - with between 1500 and 2000 visitors arriving at the village to buy roasted chestnuts and sip hot wine or tequila.
Can't you almost smell them roasting?
And then, - October in Monte Carlo!
Jilly - you have so much to do!
Aren't you tired?
Do you need an assistant?
I'd do it for free!
Can I come and live your life?

Doggie wisdom
I LOVE this blog!On Mackenzie Speaks, we get snippets of wisdom from the viewpoint of a very insightful dog.
Some of my favorite Mackenzie-isms:
"Chihuahua’s are adorable, except for the fact that they’re tiny and rat like."
"If I were invisible, would my poop also be invisible?"
"Being a dog is great. We can walk around carrying a tennis ball in our mouth and it’s no big deal. Humans, on the other paw, could never pull that off."
"If something called a ‘jalapeño’ ever falls on the kitchen floor, do not eat it. You must trust me on this."

Earrings for dogs?
If I had a dog, which I don't, and if I were totally goofy, which I'm not, and if I were to get my dog's ears pierced, which I wouldn't,
I would select these 1 carat total weight diamond stud earrings from Goldsmith Jewelry.
On the other hand, just by blogging about these earrings I might win them and wear them myself.

The Daily Mammal
Jennifer Rae Atkins, in her blog, the Daily Mammal, is attempting to draw [close to] every mammal on earth. Therefore: a mammal a day. Since there are about 5,000 named mammal species, give or take, it should take her about 14 years to meet this goal. That's not so bad!
The Fennec Fox, at left, is one of my favorites.
Photography by Anna Kuperberg
Anna Kuperberg photographs dogs. She made this blog, SlobberSpace, to entertain you and to help you procrastinate your boring office work. There is no useful information on this blog, no training advice, and no breed analysis. Just happy, goofy dogs.
Back from vacation!
Back from sunny, warm Florida, which was rainy and unusually cold. Bleh.
Happy New Year!
Tons to catch up on -
Izzy e-mailed to let me know about the launch of Petside.com, a new interactive website for pets and their people. The site includes a feature called Pet Vet, a tool where cat (or dog) owners can input their pet's symptoms into the Pet Vet and get useful advice and possible diagnoses.
Monica, from Dogs Deserve Better, e-mailed me about “Have a Heart for Chained Dogs” Campaign. The group annually sends Valentines and coupons for dog treats to chained canines across the country. They're aiming to have 10,000 addresses for perpetually chained dogs. The group also needs volunteers to make the Valentines and requests donations of coupons for dog treats or dog food.
I also received an e-mail from David with a reference to A Blog About Pets which has humor, pictures, and some handy pet information.
A report from CNN, about 10 dogs that changed the world. From a Soviet dog named Laika to a dog who stood between Alexander the Great and a charging elephant.
From theGinBlog, a series of disturbing photos of a dog who stood by his companion after it was hit by a car. The dog drew in a crowd as people were amazed at the display of canine loyalty.
At Animal(lover)dose, I found this amazing video. I thought only bulls did that.
Well - it IS nice to be back.
Happy New Year!

In the footsteps of Genghis Khan
An Australian man has completed a three-year journey from Mongolia to Hungary, following in the footsteps of the Mongolian leader Genghis Khan.When Tim Cope began his 10,000 km (6,200 mile) journey in June 2004 he expected it to take 18 months.
However, a stint at home when his father died and other delays meant it took more than double that.
Throughout the trek he traveled on horseback and relied on the hospitality of local people, including nomads.
He traveled with three horses at any time, one to carry him and two to carry feed and supplies and briefly, whilst in Kazakhstan, also used a camel.
He needed 13 horses in total to complete the marathon journey, though two of them - Taskonir and Ogonyok - have been with him since October 2004 when he was in Kazakhstan.
His other companion was Tigon, meaning "hawk" or "fast wind", a black and white hunting dog given to him as gift in Kazakhstan, whom he now hopes to take home to Australia.
Arriving at his final destination, the Hungarian town of Opusztaszer, Mr Cope paid tribute to the animals saying that they, along with the numerous people who had welcomed him into their homes, were the "real heroes" of the journey.
Both he and the animals faced much hardship as they endured life on the steppes of Asia and Central Europe, experiencing temperature ranging from minus 52C to plus 54C.
