How to retrieve a frisbee from a pool without getting wet?

I love Star Wars, so I was very excited when I saw these ridiculously awesome costumes for dogs from Costume Craze. If I ever tried to put something this elaborate on Sonnet she would summon the Force to smack me on the head. But oh, a girl can dream.

This video is so heartwarming. Two beagles are reunited with their dad after he spent 7 months in Afghanistan. They are so excited!

On Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26, animal lovers in 18 communities across Ontario will participate in the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Friends for Life!™ walk-a-thon presented by Iams® Dog & Cat Foods.

Designed to raise funds and awareness for the protection and care of all animals in Ontario, the walk-a-thon is part of the “Weekend to Save Pets”.

Go online at www.friendsforlifewalk.ca to register for an event, gather sponsors and walk for the thousands of animals in desperate need of care right across the province.

More Than a Walk in the Park
This year’s Friends for Life! walk-a-thon is Co-Chaired by Tanya Kim, co-anchor of CTV’s ETALK, and Dave Salmoni, host and producer of several Animal Planet and Discovery Planet programs. “Dave and I will be walking in the Toronto event, and we will be joined by Daisy, this year’s Provincial ‘Spokesanimal’,” says Tanya. “Daisy was rescued from an abusive environment and the Ontario SPCA has now given her a second chance at life with a family who loves her. That’s what it’s all about.”

“The Ontario SPCA simply cannot help needy animals without the support of animal lovers across the province,” says Marc Ralsky, Director of Community and Donor Development for the Ontario SPCA. “Last year’s inaugural walk-a-thon raised nearly $400,000, and I invite everyone to help us make this year’s event even bigger and better. I thank you, but more importantly, and the animals thank you for leaving a lasting pawprint on the province.”

IAMS is the presenting sponsor for the 2013 Friends for Life! walk-a-thon, with additional support provided by provincial sponsors PJ’s Pets, Petculture, Oliver Pets & Co., and Bank of Montreal. There will be awards for outstanding fundraising efforts, and every registered walker is also eligible to earn individual rewards. For more details on the walk, please contact the Ontario SPCA at 1.888.668.7722 ext 360 or via email atwalk@ospca.on.ca.
