TGIF! We just pawed Ma to tell about all the people-to-dog and dog-to-people organizations within two miles of where we live! Just down Highway 101 is the Marin County Humane Society
which has a lot of amazing programs, including one of which you'll find by clicking on the "society." Our pal, Sierra Rose just mentioned its director, Trish King, in her last post, who was also at the K-9 Carnival, courtesy of the Rangers at McInnis Park. And... even closer to us is the California campus of...
Guide Dogs for the Blind (this is the Facebook address.) It is a gorgeous setting and anyone coming to this area to visit should schedule a tour - amazing! Above is one of GDB's biggest supporters - the golden girl herself with... who else? Another lovely golden girl!
And this picture is not about a furpal organization, but rather, about a TV program we caught the other night. We don't watch a lot of boob tube, but stumbled on this NOVA program by accident: Dogs Decoded. It was quite scientific and we were a bit horrified by so many dogs kept in what seemed like a zillion cages for research in part of the program. If you get a chance to see it, we'd like to know what you think. You can click on the program site to learn more about the premise, which is actually very interesting. Also, I was looking for a wintery template and want to give this blog designer a big thanks for letting me use this one that we chose! Have a great weekend!

Your banner photos always catch my eye. Gorgeous!
I caught a tiny bit of that Nova program... I'm hoping that they replay it.
Lots of researchers are now using pet dogs for their projects when possible. They look for volunteers who are willing to bring their dogs to the lab for a few hours (and the owners stay to watch or help). It's a much better alternative than caged dogs, imho.
When I lived in your area, a project like that went on at Berkeley. A very fun project that the pet dogs loved participating in!
Sammie and Avalon, we are stopping by to say Woof and that we have your names in the Christmas Exchange. We have been reading up on your blog since we are new to it. Is there anything really special you all like to play with. Hope to hear from you soon (ws_jeakins@hotmail.com). The HoundDogs (Cleo, Winston and Amiee) HoundDogMom
Have a great weekend too!
