We knew it was only a matter of time before the oil started to hit the coasts. It's happening now and wildlife are feeling the impact.

Tomorrow, Purina's Housecat Housecall reality show will renew with Dr. Katrina Warren who uses her expertise to help needy cat owners deal with their kitty problems.

We all have them, from time to time. I'm talking about cats that either misbehave (to us, to them they are not misbehaving), or are overly shy or just can't get along with the 'family', whatever that may be. Dr. Katrina is an expert at uncovering the issues (which may be different than the problem presented by the cat owner), and in solving the issues!

Here's an example from the YouTube files on PetCentric:

Couldn't resist sharing this short but really funny video from our friends at the I Can Has Cheezburger site. (do not try this at home!)

I'm writing about this traveling musical based on 101 Dalmatians over at Scratchings and Sniffings, and I thought this video of some of the kids in the cast talking about the dogs (shelter dogs, no less!) was perfect for today's post.

Enjoy! (you won't be able to help yourself! Gotta love dogs and kids). You can read the bios of the dogs on Saturdays, over at S&S. (sponsored by Purina Dog Chow®.)
