KEEP THAT COAT! If you're thinking a longhaired dog might be cooler with a summer shave, stop! A dog's hair provides insulation from the sun's heat, as well as protects against skin damage. More summer grooming tips

GET MOVIN' Your dog can help you get in shape. Studies show that people who walk their dogs as part of a weight-loss effort are more likely to stick with their exercise regimen than people who walk alone. Before you go, make sure your dog is walk-ready


The next winner of "Britain's Got Talent"
just may not be human. This isn't the most spectacular re-style dancing dog, but "Gin" sure blew away the judges. Good old Simon is almost speechless. You've got to love that.

Your puppy's smarts
You can help your puppy gain "smarts" by working with him from an early age. Remember, like humans, each puppy has his own personality and strengths.

The "down" command
Being able to down your puppy is something like being able to park your car: It stops movement. A puppy lying down is less likely to get into mischief.

Exercising your puppy
Over-exercising your puppy can be bad for his health. Getting a puppy to exercise usually isn't a problem, but you must learn to exercise him correctly.

LB shelter hours questions

The LB shelter is closed Sun. at 4 p.m.  So if your animal is picked up Sun. after 4 p.m., does that mean you can't pick it up until Wed. at 10 a.m.?  If it is, that's a very long time.   Also, makes me wonder...if they count those 2.75 days as part of the short number of days that they hold an animal before euthanizing?  - Joanne  www.longbeach.gov/acs/default.asp

found: adorable dog on the fourth of July
She was covered in matted hair and fleas, so she had been out a while. In fact, my housemate had seen her that morning, so it was not just a case of fireworks scaring her and causing her to get lost. Anyway.. her pictures are here  -Alexi, alexiholford@gmail.com
