Garlic & Dogs: The post about the meatloaf from Eco Dog sparked some debate about Garlic and whether or not it is harmful to dogs. I always thought Garlic was good for dogs, but after the issue was raised I checked with the ASPCA Poison center and found out that garlic can cause issues for dogs. The ASPCA provides a great explanation (click through and scroll down to read what they have to say).
Bark Magazine: The meatloaf recipe that raised the question about Garlic is featured in the current issue of Bark. I got my copy in the mail last week and I must say I am really enjoying this issue.
A Good reason to spay or neuter: I don’t know the exact formula they used to come up with this number, but, if none of the dogs were spayed or neutered, how many dogs do you think a female and her mate and all their offspring could produce in 6 years? (click for the answer)

What I am reading: Eco Dog. I am really enjoying this book.
Mr. Clumsy: Henry fell off the arm of the sofa yesterday. He just plopped right off. After I checked on him, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Snow: I can’t believe how much snow our friends up north are getting. Makes me realize I don’t really miss it at all.

Animal Rescue Site: The Animal Rescue Site has teamed up with advertisers to donate food to animals in need. By clicking on a button on their site, advertisers agree to donate food. But, the Animal Rescue site is having a hard time getting the number of clicks it needs to have food donated. So if you have time, stop by and click. It doesn’t cost you anything.

Scattered Thoughts is simply a collection of the many pug and dog related thoughts that ran through my head this week that didn’t make it into a post of their own.
New Arrival: Fellow blogger, Ragus Pug welcomed a new arrival this week- sweet little Emma Lee! Congratulations!
Michael Vick: The gag order has been lifted regarding the Michael Vick case and more and more and more is beginning to come out about the rescued dogs. I have stumbled across a few articles and I have been reading all I can. Kudos to all the rescue organizations and volunteers stepping up to help. I am happy to see that many of the dogs could be rescued and will get a chance to be part of a loving family.
Are you ready for some football? We are looking forward to watching the game on Sunday, but I also can’t wait to watch a little bit of Puppy Bowl IV. I love that show!
