I’ve had this sitting in my drafts for a while now. It would be great if we could get more shelters running like this. In Utah we are lucky enough have No More Homeless Pets which provides spay/neuter, vaccinations and many other veterinary services at reduced prices, but I’d really like to see more shelters [...]
Lucy and Duo were 8-week-old blue heeler puppies that we took from Kelly’s sisters house, and fostered through Wag-n-Train Dog Rescue. They were fun, but we didn’t have them for long they were adopted out at the Mini Super Adoption during December.
Oakley is a 2-year-old pit bull mix. She was originally brought into CAWS as a puppy, but two years later she turned up in the shelter again. I actually pulled her from the shelter for another foster home, but they fell through and I ended up with her. Oakley had a great personality. She loved [...]
In the last two versions of Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin there’s been errors in the JavaScript that cause parts of tinymce to not work. The issue is some of the variables are not strings like expected, so when they try to run string methods against them, causing JavaScript to throw a syntax error. The simple [...]
Nala is a 2-year-old Chocolate Retriever. I originally met Nala in one of the training classes that I attended with Ozzy. She was very afraid of other dogs and protective of her owner if strange dogs were nearby. In the end that’s what caused her to be given up. She kept starting fights with the [...]
Boozer is a 1 ½ year old American Bulldog Labrador Retriever mix, I think. CAWS took him in at the spring 2010 super adoption. I don’t know much of what happened to him between the time CAWS took him in and he came to my house. I know he was adopted out, but ended up [...]
I was just creating a custom registration form on a WordPress site. When I started testing the form the page it was submitting to returned a 404, but would function normally when navigating there naturally. The issue arose from having the name of one of my form fields be “name.” It seems that WordPress uses [...]
I was thinking about this on my walk this morning. I met someone who owns a mastiff. He told me about how people are afraid of the dog even though it only ever tries to love people. This made me think of the stereotype around pit bulls, and how people walk out into the road [...]
Buddy is a pure white Boxer, and wasn’t def like most white boxers. I’m not sure how old he was. He was a dog that we pulled from SUVAS. He lived with Stacie for quite a while; then I’m not sure what happened to him. He got kicked out of daycare right before I got [...]
The Lost Dogs is a really interesting look into the Michael Vick dog fighting case. I have taken a lot of interest in the case of the last while because of my work with animal rescues. Most of my interest comes from the negative stereotype associated with pitbull type dogs, and the number that were [...]
