Don’t worry everyone! Raleigh would like to assure you that it is ok to ignore conventional fashion wisdom: you can still wear white dog after Labor Day. We’re taking the weekend off from blogging, so see you next Tuesday! Get away from the computer and into the parks!
3! It’s a Magic Number: A Pee Post
Back before I started this dog blog, I used to spend a lot of time searching for dog information on the internet specifically related to pee. Typical searches? “How many times a day should a normal dog go out” “My dog has to pee every two hours” “Dog pees all the time OMFG” “Is housebreaking [...]
Dog Reviews Restaurants: Eddie Eats Out
I’ve complained a lot on this site about the large number of really terrible dog blogs out there. I peruse several new ones every week but usually can’t even muster the energy for a bitchy review. But this week, for a change, I am going to give out an award: a golden water bowl, if [...]
Running Propsect Park: What the Fox?
Humans of the internet: help! We are a bit confused by some recent human behavior and we are hoping that you can help explain. For three weeks in a row, the Owner has selected a morning to take us to Prospect Park without taking us off leash. Instead, she starts her slow two-legged run through [...]
Dog Anxiety: Not Treatable with Treats
Two weeks ago we mentioned that the good people at Natural Pups sent us a bag of the Harmony treats, meant to help dogs with anxiety. Raleigh thought they were super delicious and got a lot of practice rolling over (and over ) to earn them, but I can’t say they calmed her down any. [...]
The Wegman Effect
We at Raleigh Pop think that the smooth fox terrier is pretty darn photogenic. But after this weekend’s interview with Michael Surtees and his dog Madison, I had to agree there is something artful about the weimaraner. Is it the gray coat? The soulful eyes? That lean long body?
EnCATer 4: Be Fearless, then Flee
In this ongoing series in which we encounter street cats, get just close enough to taste them, and then scare them off before fur begins to fly we are finding an escalating amount of cat bravery. This morning’s participant jumped into our path and held her ground. We are not sure what got into her. [...]
SFT Misinformation on Dogster
While reading Dogster’s breed profile for smooth fox terriers I found two points of contention. If you don’t yet have a smooth fox terrier and were planning to use this guide to prepare, you may be in for a few surprises. According to Dogster: Smooth Fox Terriers are fairly easy to groom, needing only the [...]
Mail Bag: Pauly The Guide Dog
We at Raleigh Pop love letters! Seriously, if you are a dog that knows your way around a laptop, get to typing and you’ll likely see your efforts rewarded with a post on this blog. Just like this little guy who wrote in to tell us about The Guide Dog Foundation. Dear Raleigh *butt sniff*, [...]
Why I Love Writing About Dogs
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Debbie Millman and her two dogs for Core77. If you missed it, check out the full article here. Debbie was extra generous with her Flickr, so I’m posting one more Scuffy (black and white dog) and one more Duff (the blond).
