Step right up for the fight of the century — it's dog and cat wrasslin'! These two are like siblings. Plus, the cat doesn't seem to know what she wants.

Meet Vanilla, a 5-week-old baby Dachshund pup. She's in the middle of some serious REM sleep time. I particularly like the closeup of her little face.

Look at this little guy's silly face! The head-tilting just kills me. Do want!

Oh, the pathos! Fetch with a machine? Too sad!

Is this what your doggie is doing when he won't come inside? At last, an anti-smoking PSA for dogs. It's about damn time!

I really need to cut down on my coffee intake. (Sips third cup and it's 8 in the morning.)

Buddies Max and Cricket prove yet again that dogs and cats can, in fact, be friends.
Congrats to Max, Cricket, and
bluesarahlou for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to submit your favorite photos to our
Pet Pics group – you may just see your four legged friends on the pages of PetSugar!

Now that it's nearly dark by the time I get home from work, it's time to start thinking about reflective gear for my four legged pal. Not only are there some pretty stylish and highly reflective rain jackets that pets can throw on before leaving the house for the evening potty walk, but if your pooch isn't the coat wearing type, you can always attach a safety light to his harness or collar to make sure he's seen even on the rainiest or darkest of nights.
Take for example this

We all know that
having a dog is good for an adult's overall health, but did you know that it's also good for kids?
Recent research has found that children who play with a family dog have been found to be up to 50 percent less likely to be overweight or obese than those who do not. Unlike
adults, children do not even need to walk dogs.

Q: My dog has the very annoying habit of begging for food. It's especially bad when we have people over for dinner – he literally walks from person to person waiting, sometimes jumping with paws up on their laps to see what's on the table or go for the food right off their fork (or plate) – help!
A: Consistency is key to solving this problem.
