Petside Items: Pets on the Internet?

When it comes to our pets, they can never cease to amaze us. The newest wave in blogging is, you guessed it, pet blogs. No, I don't mean blogs that are written by pet owners, pet lovers, pet enthusiasts or pet experts...I mean blogs that are written by the animals themselves.

OK, ok, I'm sure there are a few minor details, but get ready to share the blog space with your dog or cat. Should make for some interesting reading.

A question for cat lovers out there...How Japanese is a Japanese Bobtail?

And how much does a Persian really know about Iran?

Not much, so says a newly released study out of the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis. According to the study, despite early global migrations, cat breeds have undergone somewhat of a genetic watering down which may be cause for a health alarm for breeders.

I'm not exactly sure how one establishes an average of 1.77 Husky deaths each race since the 1994 Iditarod,

but the death toll rose with 3 [whole] Husky deaths in the 2008 race, and animal rights groups continue to fight for the rights of these elegant dog athletes.

Hope you’ve had a great Easter weekend, and remember to keep the chocolates away from your pets!
