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.
