Uggie fur-ever. Those are the words that spun through my head after I met this legendary pooch at the Betty White Friars Club Roast last week in New York.
BlogPaws and Natures Variety were kind enough to send me to the roast and after party, where I scooped an exclusive interview with Uggies owner and trainer, Omar Von Muller, who is an absolute doll, too!
Read my complete report at BlogPaws and check out the video interview below. Be sure to meet other celebr-dogs, and say hello to me and my...
Being Betty White: A dog’s eye perspective

Last week, an invitation to the Betty White Friars Club Roast crossed my desk and after the profuse wagging commenced (from both me and the dog), I gleefully accepted, packed a bag, and headed for the rhythm of New York City.
Why me? As the PR Manager (and a pet writer/blogger), BlogPaws was invited by Natures Variety to cover the event. This made paw-fect sense for me, since my dog, Dexter, eats Natures Variety raw boost bites, a line of freeze dried treats made in the United States.

Betty White is not only a Saturday Night Live sensation, with throngs of a new generation flocking to the comedic genius she is, but for those of us over 30, er 35, or more, we look to this era-defining animal guru with respect and a shared sense of animal advocacy. Fidose of Realitys heart beats dog, and sharing the room with someone as magnanimous as Betty...

As told by Carma Poodale Allen
Friday means time for the Fidose Friday Funny. Last week we shared Dachsund Surprise, and this week we share some fun as told by a Poodle. Indeed, Carma Poodale has a tale to tell, with wit and wisdom.
When Jenny Sue (my Cocker Spaniel family member) was two year old, she was the only fur child. A stray dog came to our house and daddy took a liking to it. He picked it up and loved on it and Jenny Sue didnt like it since she was daddys little girl.
She stomped her...

As dog lovers and dog people, many of us are engaging in and on Twitter. Did you know that millions of pets have Twitter accounts and tweet in the language and character of that pet (aka family member)?
Twitter can be overwhelming to a novice but is also an ever-changing e-landscape even for heavier users like myself. I spoke at a recent New York city-based conference of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA). There, I took an afternoon-long workshop with Sree Sreenivasan. If...

To spank or not to spank a dog: Never

While out walking my dog recently I witnessed a man chasing his dog down the street. Ever the Ill help, be right there person that I am, my random act of kindness was quickly thwarted by a slap.
The dog apparently got loose while on a walk and his owner was chasing after him. As he scooped the little guy up (a shih tzu mix perhaps), he smacked the dog on the butt and repeatedly yelled over and over No! No! No! and jerked the dog close to him.
I yelled over hey and before a second word could...
