With a 100,000x the sniffing power of humans, some specially trained dogs can detect many forms of cancer including breast, ovarian, lung, colon and bladder cancers. It has long been established that dogs were able to sniff out a human about ready to have a seizure, now researchers are finding that various early stage cancers can be sniffed out as well. In Kyla Kings Grand Rapids Press article “Calling Dr. Dog,” she writes about this amazing canine ability. If you think you have a dog that has or could cultivate this talent please contact Dr. Wendy Smith of the Human Society Behavioral Specialist, Namiko Ota-Novesky at 616-453-8900 or email customerservice@hswestmi.org Even if you are not in Michigan I encourage you to contact these people; they may be able to help you locate programs in your part of the country.

Animal Planet has made Super Bowl parties rock for 7 years now with their puppy bowl. I love how they use mixed breeds in the bowl games. Families have been able to celebrate the bowl games without anyone feeling left out…so here’s to you Animal Planet…

The Super Cool Youtube video (older post) is clever and funny. When the shot cuts away to that yummy golden in a harness strapped to the jeeps seat, it sends a serious safety message: harness your pet, especially if your “Super Cool!” I need to do this. I have thought about it for to long and have not acted upon it…shame on me! I was reading my local paper, the Grand Rapids Press, and there in B3 was an AP article by Sue Manning, Do pet’s pose threat to driving safety?” It shows a little dog, you know those little harmless creatures, enjoying the breeze blowing in it’s face, halfway out the window. Now I don’t do that but….I am no better. Unrestrained dogs are a safety hazard for humans and also are at injury and death risk if they are loose in the car. Do you use a safetly harness for your pet? I went to Pets Supplies Plus and they were out, Zuke dog treats were on sale though. Then I went to Petsmart and I bought a pet safety harness from Top Paw Any suggestions? I haven’t had a chance to even try the harness out yet due to Tundra 2011 storm. Stay tuned!

I know I have some Homemade Millionaire (no new HM news) and Shark Tank etc. contestants check in from time to time. I came across this in the news last night, it looks so fun! I needed to share it with my inventor friends. Before doing this, I would protect my idea, but who couldn’t use a little pitching practice and maybe a little bump in cash. Check out this site www.5×5night.com and if you decide to come on over to Grand Rapids, Michigan give me a shout out, maybe we could throw back some wine to toast to your success☺.
