With all the needs of the folks who have various diseases, pains, aches
and other such things, you would think that scientists would be all out
trying to cure something important. Well, they are. They now have a nice
drug to give Fido so that when the scientist is dropping him off at
doggy school, he won’t share his morning cookies too soon and the FDA
approves it.

Okay, that’s a reach. But I am willing to bet that the drug is due to
some scientist somewhere who is tired of going on vacation with the
family mutt that gets car sick every single time. Most dogs love the
car. Almost every one I have ever known loves them. But there are some
out there that get nervous tummies. You can just about figure out which
ones, right? Poodle, chihuahua. Those are two that I have had personal
experience with.

Still, you gotta believe that these guys really do have better things to
do than this sort of stuff, right? Well, maybe not. New out on the
market is Cerenia for carsick pets. How nice. Cured cancer lately? How
about AIDS? Diabetes? Nope. Just carsick poochies. What a world.

Dog
Tails: New Drug So Fido Won’t Barf In The Car

WASHINGTON — Most dogs are as happy as can be when riding in the
car.

But if it makes your four-legged friend woozy, help is on the way.

The Food and Drug Administration is approving the first drug to keep
dogs from vomiting when they get motion sickness.

Ever had a problem getting along with someone’s pet when you like them?
Didn’t work out? Not to dispair. There is a website for you! (Isn’t
there one for everyone nowadays?) This site will play matchmaker for you
AND your pet. If you’ve got a snake, snake buddies are out there.
Spiders? Yep, there is someone looking for you. Need a spider sitter?
And…they have chicken sitters too. Okay, that one is a bit much but
they have it nevertheless. This may actually be a bit creepy here.

Spider Sitters and Pet Mates

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Looking for the love of your life? Does your
pet put potential partners off? — There is now a Web site where you can
find a partner compatible with your dog, cat, snake or spider.

A new Dutch Web site — www.dier-en-mens.nl — says it is a meeting
place for all animal lovers, whether you are looking for a partner,
someone who also likes snakes and spiders or someone who takes care of
your chickens when you want to go away for the weekend.

Who looks for a spider sitter??????

You ain’t seen nuttin yet! This time, Clifton, N.J., is apparently tired
of hearing dogs barking. They are making a law to LIMIT the barking time
per dog. Okie dokie, anyone mention this to the dogs in question?
Doubtful. Someone needs to go out and get a reaction from the canines.
What do you suppose they’re going to think about it? I can see the ACLU
getting into this. Dog abuse. No longer allowed to express opinions.
It’s a free country!! I am willing to bet there will be class action
lawsuits about this soon. The dogs will not tolerate this. Why? Because
the cats can say any darn thing they want, that’s why.

Muzzle The Mutts

(AP) The city of Clifton is not going to the dogs. At least not if
the City Council has anything to do about it. Later this month, the
council is expected to introduce an ordinance setting a limit on how
long dogs can bark. Noisy canines will be defined as those that bark for
more than 30 minutes on two consecutive days.
