Time to Embrace Mutt Power!
 Dogs
come in all sizes, shapes and temperaments, from itty-bitty teacup Chihuahuas
to mountain-sized Great Danes. In fact, the American Kennel Club recognizes more than 150 different dog breeds.
But some of the most lovable, loyal canines sport mysterious breed identities. Thanks to new doggy DNA tests, you can find out the various
breeds making up your dog's family tree. Arden used the Wisdom Panel's DNA test on her 12-pounder named Cleo and was surprised to discover that the two primary
breeds in her spunky, surf-riding mutt are miniature Poodle and Basset Hound!
You read right. July 31 marks National Mutt Day. In celebration of this
date, the fine folks from Muttropolis are
giving away a $50 gift certificate to the person who emails Arden with the best adoption story or photo of their
marvelous mutt. Don't delay - enter now! And learn more about the cool items at

Craving Some
Catnip???
What is
it about catnip that drives some cats bonkers? For answers, Arden turned to two
top experts on this herb: Arnold Plotnick, DVM, who operates a
cat-only clinic called Manhattan Cat Specialists in New York City; and Kevin Duck, owner and founder of Ducky World Products, makers of organic catnip-filled toys and
more. Both were guests on Arden's Oh Behave Show on Pet Life Radio - Episode
#115. Listen closely to this radio show and email Arden
with the code word mentioned by Kevin to win a giant Ducky World gift basket. Arden's cat, Zeki goes crazy for Ducky World's
catnip toys! Check out her reaction in this video posted on Ducky World's home
page: www.duckyworld.com. Some
fascinating facts about catnip: -
This
herb is a proud member of the mint family.
-
Catnip
acts as a stimulant in cats but as a sedative in people. Need to sleep? Brew
some catnip tea.
-
Its
active ingredient, called nepetalactone, resembles the urine of female cats.
Yuck!
-
The
average catnip "high" lasts between 5 and 15 minutes.

'MEW'SINGS &
MUTTISMS™
 The world's record for non-stop barking belongs to a Cocker
Spaniel who was officially documented yapping 907 times in 10 minutes. Now,
here's a dog who you wish had a mute button! A hairball is a hairball, unless you want to impress (or
confound) your friends by calling it by its scientific name: trichobezoar. Popular folklore claims that being around a greyhound with a
white spot on his forehead brings good fortune. Sure, you may have better luck
by buying a lottery ticket if you are looking for riches, but your dog, of
course, is priceless. |
