Sirius of the Week for February 14 - 20, 2010

Dakota is a Pointer/Springer Spaniel mix.


She enjoys swimming in a lake near her humans' home. She paddles around the geese and ducks, who seem don't seem to mind her joining them. Dakota loves the water so much, her people bought her a little kiddy pool, so she can splash around even when she can't go to the lake.

Dog Insurance

Thinking about getting a pet stroller?


Beware of Internet Puppy Scams: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people have been sending emails offering to sell pedigree puppies (bulldogs, pugs, and others). Similar phony websites are also on the web. These emails and websites are fake. They are designed to cheat you out of your money either by never sending you the puppy or by sending you a different dog from what you paid for. Your best bet: If you want a purebred, contact a local breed-specific rescue group. Or if you just want a new best friend, save a life from your local animal pound.
