Lucky dog.

Oxygen masks for pets.  Makes firefighters happy.

These folks sell them.

It’d be nice to see some of our local pet shelters pitch in and equip our fire department.  If they haven’t already.

A fine piece of cinematography as well.

Click this link to read the quick details of dog parks located around the twin cities area.   Most are small in acreage, are fenced, and provide poop bags.

Until we have dog parks here in the Billings area, the general public, dog owners and non-dog owners alike, aren’t going to get a handle on the difference between dog parks and wilderness areas.

This lesson in distinguishing the two is perhaps harder for dog owners.  Dog owners need to learn that UNLESS you are in a designated dog park, it is NOT EVER okay to impose your dog on other people, or dogs.

When I take my dog to Norm’s island, she is off-leash if no-one is around.  If another dog approaches and is leashed, I leash my dog.  if another dog approaches that is not leashed, I don’t leash my dog, but I am close in case I have to protect her.  If people without dogs approach or want to pass, I leash, or otherwise, take full control of my dog so as not to impose on their rights.

Black-tailed prairie dogs will not be added to the endangered species list, but the Sprague’s pipit may be added. Comments on the pipit will be accepted until February 1, 2010, to the US FWS in Arlington, VA.

For those of you who cringe at insects and spiders…you want this bird around, they are ground nesters who live on insects and seeds.
