Kamal had Zeus on a leash, and I had Lucy. All of a sudden, Lucy started yanking me and howling!!<br /><br />I had no idea what was going on but she was tearing into a run. Zeus looked back at her, and immediately let out his siren call (the same one he'd do when the alarm would go off accidentally in the house) and bolted. Me and Kamal were like, WTF? and ended up kinda dragged behind them for a second. We got about fifty feet down the road, when POWPOWPOWPOW!!!! The electric box on the telephone pole directly over where we were exploded, sent a shower of sparks into the air and down onto the grass below, so that the grass started smoldering and the box caught on fire up in the air!<br /><br />If Lucy hadn't have freaked like that, we would have been directly underneath it as it exploded! She saved the day! Hooray, Lucy! They both got insane amounts of pets and kisses and treats and couch privileges once we got back to the vacation house!<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Send your outstanding dog stories to</span> <a href="mailto:dogsareoutstanding@gmail.com"><span style="font-size:100%;">dogsareoutstanding@gmail.com</span></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> !</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12171350-111383926670994075?l=dogsareoutstanding.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14669353647675919654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171350.post-1113833991675042142005-04-18T10:11:00.000-04:002005-04-18T10:20:32.253-04:00Here's an article dealing with an outstanding topic, a <a href="http://www.dailyworld.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050418/NEWS01/504180312/1002">breakup of a dogfighting ring</a>.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.proidx.com/images/blog/wwilliams.jpg" /><br /><br />DAO hates dogfighting and is glad to see that Louisiana is taking steps to crack down on this reprehensible activity. If only other states would follow through. Its this sort of behavior that leads to widespread public misconception that certain breeds are 'dangerous'.<br /><br />Louisianas animal control system has adopted a progressive system as well, tracking adoptions to make sure that adopted dogs aren't used in fighting rings, according to St. Landry Parish Director of Administration Jessie Bellard.<br /><br /><em>"It was a problem. People could adopt a dog a month and use them this way, but now we have a follow-up system on adoptions. We don't let them adopt again unless we know the first dog is safe"</em><br /><em></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12171350-111383399167504214?l=dogsareoutstanding.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14669353647675919654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171350.post-1113571002227494792005-04-15T09:16:00.000-04:002005-04-15T09:22:34.836-04:00<img src="http://www.proidx.com/images/blog/oreo.jpg" /><br /><br />While this technically isn't an outstanding dog story, it is good news for folks that like to snack with their dogs, but don't especially like the taste of snausages.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;u=/ap/20050413/ap_on_fe_st/canine_cookies_2">This new cookie </a>is designed to be eaten by man and dog alike. Instead of using chocolate, they use carob, which is not toxic to dogs (or humans).<br /><br />So now when you dog does something outstanding, you can reward them with a cookie, and have one for yourself as well. Some people do this with regular dog treats anyway, but for myself, I never eat anything that has a measurable percentage of 'hoof' in it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12171350-111357100222749479?l=dogsareoutstanding.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14669353647675919654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171350.post-1113493179368510092005-04-14T11:38:00.000-04:002005-04-14T11:39:39.370-04:00Welcome to Dogs are Outstanding! I, like many other folks out there, love dogs. Whenever I read an article involving dogs or something great that dogs have done, I always enjoy it. So, I figured why not start a site that collects all the great outstanding stories in one place?<br /><br />But why stop there? If you have a story about your own outstanding dog, send it to me at dogsareoutstanding@gmail.com Or, if you see an oustanding dog story that hasn't made it onto the site yet, send it our way and we'll get it on the site!<br /><br />So come back often for daily affirmations that dogs are, in fact, outstanding!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12171350-111349317936851009?l=dogsareoutstanding.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14669353647675919654noreply@blogger.com0
