Not so Zeeke!… a puppy-in-training that belongs to JJ Coat, a Pre-Vet major and honors student of Ohio Northern University. Zeeke has become part of the alumni. JJ has chosen to prepare Zeeke to become a service dog, as her Honors Project. Zeeke’s training period is 16 months and JJ has been given special permission by the university administration to bring Zeeke onto the campus where he has become an instant celebrity. This has also given the university much-needed celebrity as well. We’re thinking there may be more Zeekes in future classes…

While checking out other pet photo contests on the web I came across a doozy. In the “Can You Top This?” corner there is now a collosal pet lover essay contest (that includes a pet photo) that started in early April. The grand prize is a 1.25 million-dollar mansion in Ocala FL, owned by author Clementina Marie Giovannetti who is running this contest. Her goal is to publish a book of pet lover stories complete with photos…

Okay. Last week we learned about training pet fish to do athletics like playing soccer and basketball. We’ve seen the Stupid Pet Tricks on the David Leterman Show, have seen dancing pet dogs and cats playing the piano by ear, but I honestly had no idea that there was such a thing as bunny hurdles or what I laughingly refer to as dressage for bunnies. A pet photo op if ever there was one!
