The consumption of just a few teaspoons of antifreeze can have deadly results for pets and even small children. Part of the problem with antifreeze is that it is primarily composed of ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol has a very sweet smell and is very inviting to pets and children. So chances are if your pug stumbles across a puddle or an open bottle of antifreeze it will be enticed to drink it.
Antifreeze poisoning is such a serious threat that several states have passed laws that require the manufacturers of antifreeze to add bittering agents so that the ethylene glycol become less appealing to pets and children. While this is a step in the right direction, many states have failed to pass similiar laws because of the potentional costs to manufacturers.
This may all change, however, if the federal Antifreeze Bittering Act of 2005 is passed.

During lulls in the big game, be sure to check out the Puppy Bowl II on Animal Planet. The Puppy Bowl features a variety of different puppy breeds all romping in a football themed pen.
I watched bits and pieces of this last year and it was quite amusing. My favorite was the water bowl cam. This year’s game even features a kitten half-time show!

As pug owners we know that pugs can make a lot of different noises, but can they actually laugh? A new study by researchers at the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service says that dogs do indeed laugh and their laugh is a long, loud panting sound.
It also seems like a dog’s laugh is contagious because other dogs are soothed and calmed by the sound of another dog laughing.
