Scattered Thoughts

Garlic & Dogs:  The post about the meatloaf from Eco Dog sparked some debate about Garlic and whether or not it is harmful to dogs.  I always thought Garlic was good for dogs, but after the issue was raised I checked with the ASPCA Poison center and found out that garlic can cause issues for dogs.  The ASPCA provides a great explanation (click through and scroll down to read what they have to say).

Bark Magazine: The meatloaf recipe that raised the question about Garlic is featured in the current issue of Bark.  I got my copy in the mail last week and I must say I am really enjoying this issue.

A Good reason to spay or neuter: I don’t know the exact formula they used to come up with this number, but, if none of the dogs were spayed or neutered, how many dogs do you think a female and her mate and all their offspring could produce in 6 years? (click for the answer)
