Alaska the Bully

The new monster by the name of Alaska thinks that she is the queen of the house. I have been tolerating her for a very long time. If it wasn't for my parents, I would have eaten her for lunch.
Mommy Grace is always the one who seems to notice such aggression by this little feline. She tells Daddy but the kind old man just smiles.

For example, yours truly was taking a half-nap, dreaming of that big bone that Daddy gave to Danny. I was smiling in my dream because I had robbed Danny of his bone and buried it in the a pile of towels. Now the bone was safely in my possession, I was able to sleep contentedly and... suddenly, there a tiny sharp pain on my left ear. Woof! Who attacked me?

To my horror, another sharp pain joined the first and that caused me to jump back. Even with half-closed eyes, I was able to see this furry critter throwing a couple of left hooks. Too small to be Tabby Boy and too white to be Jelicle. It must be Alaska. When both my eyes were wide opened, there it was this fat sloppy monster of a creature, coming at me with more left hooks.
Many scenarios raced through my mind - I could have bitten off her paw; I could have even bitten off her head; I could have eaten her alive and... happily, I stopped my fantasy trip.

Hi, this is your Dog Blogger, Mercy, again. I have an exceptionally good video to share with you. One of my canine friends, Myron is a blind dog. Despite being born without eyes, this wonderful dog still plays fetch and lives an otherwise happy life. Thank God for such a patient, caring owner and a great message - we can all overcome our obstacles.
Lulu The Hero Pig

Hi, here is one of my favorite stories of a fellow pet even though it is not a dog.
Mercy the Dog Blogger
On the morning of 4 August, 1998, Jo Ann Altsman suffered a heart attack while vacationing in the north woods of Presque Isle, Pennsylvania, USA. Alone1, apart from the family dog Bear (who did nothing but bark at Jo Ann after she collapsed and tried to summon help by breaking a bedroom window of the mobile home), she lay on the floor yelling:
Somebody help me! Please help me! Call an ambulance!

| Lulu the hero pig who saved Jo Ann |
Jo Ann, who had had a heart attack just 18 months earlier, was panic stricken. Another member of the Altsman 'family' was at hand though. LuLu, a housebroken Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig came to Jo Ann's aid. The pig was bought as a 40th birthday present for the Altsmans' daughter, Jackie, a year earlier. Going whale-watching for her birthday, Jackie asked her parents to babysit LuLu until she returned. It became apparent over the next few months that Jackie didn't really want LuLu, remarking to her parents she'd pick up her new pet:
Next weekend, next weekend.
The Altsmans soon became attached to LuLu, even as the piglet gained weight from a smallish 4 pounds to a more porcine 150. It was lucky however, that Jack and Jo Ann Altsman chose to keep the animal.
The Rescue Pig
LuLu took one look at Jo Ann and after 'crying2' for a moment, crashed through the doggy/piggy door of the mobile home and into the fenced-in yard. Lulu had never left the confines of the yard (except for a walk on a leash), but somehow she managed to push open the gate to get to a nearby road.
Witnesses reported that LuLu would wait until a car approached, then calmly walk out into the road and lay down in front of the oncoming vehicle. Drivers predictably honked and swerved, and one man later confessed to stopping, but being unsure of what the creature was laying in the road he was too afraid of getting out of his car to investigate. When a driver failed to stop, LuLu would return to Jo Ann to check on her, and then leave again to try and summon help. After about forty-five minutes the determined pig finally managed to persuade a young motorist to stop and follow her to the Altsman's mobile home. Entering, the young man called:
Lady, your pig's in distress.
Jo Ann feebly replied:
I'm in distress, too. Please call an ambulance.
The man, who remained anonymous, telephoned the emergency services and paramedics quickly arrived. When LuLu attempted to ride along with Jo Ann to hospital by climbing up into the back of the ambulance, the paramedics had to gently let her know she had done enough for one day. In her rush to get out to find help, LuLu had cut her pot-belly on a sharp edge of the too-small doggy/piggy door. However, this was the only injury she sustained; remarkable considering she lay on a busy highway for lengthy periods of time trying to stop cars.
LuLu's Reward
For her part in saving Jo Ann Altsman's life, LuLu the pig received, along with an incredible amount of local media coverage, what she apparently desired most. Jo Ann assured:
She got a jelly3 doughnut.
1 Her husband, Jack, was fishing on Lake Erie at the time.
2 A pig cries rather like a dog whimpers.
3 Jam.
Dogs With Strange Names

Dogs With Strange Names
A girl was visiting her friend who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were.
The friend responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.
Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"
"Helloooooooooooooo," answered the girl. "They're watch dogs!"
