Petside Items: Snowmachines, sled dogs and pit bull rescuers!
Iditarod 2008 may be over, but news about it - good or bad - is still making headlines.
The good news is that the veterinarian treating '08 champion Lance Mackey's sled dog Zorro, says he will make a full recovery from injuries suffered when he was hit by a snowmobile.
The not-so-good news is that Zorro will likely never race again after being accidentally hit somewhere around Nome, Alaska on the race route.
I'm struggling with the question today of how someone gets to own 61 cats? We've talked about hoarding and boarding for ages, but I'm still perplexed as to how one home can accommodate such quantities. On top of that, this news item takes it one step further with the discovery of a woman who stuck 41 dead cats in a freezer in the hopes of preventing the remaining 20 from falling ill.
Shame on you today... Delta Airlines...raising the price of fares for traveling with a pet is not something we like to hear at petside.
We do like to hear about great rescue stories though,
and this item scores points for all pit bull lovers.

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I RESCUED A RED NOSE PITBULL. HER NAME IS CHANEL AND SHE WAS LIVING IN A RABBIT CAGE FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF HER LIFE. AFTER I RESCUED HER SHE GAINED 10 POUNDS IN THE FIRST WEEK. ALL THE HORROR STORIES ABOUT PIT BULLS ARE NOT TRUE. CHANEL IS THE MOST AFFECTIONATE DOG I HAVE EVER OWNED AND IS NOT AGGRESSIVE AT ALL. SHE IS VERY LOVED AND I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE HER IN MY LIFE.

I was lucky enough to share my life with a pit-bull mix for 13 years. She was a pit/rottie/chow mix. If there was ever a dog who "should" have been mean based on what people say about these breeds, it was her. She was sweet, great with other dogs, and the best friend I could have ever asked for. She was a truly gentle soul. Hugs to you Rochelle for rescuing Chanel.She will always be as thankful for you as you are for her.
