Check out this amazing video from Chile where a dog saves another dog by dragging him off of a busy highway. The whole thing was caught on tape, and is amazing. The first dog gets hit by an oncoming car, and the next moment another dog drags him out of traffic. Video after the jump.

What's With the Thermal Cat Mat?

One of my biggest surprises this winter has been how well folks like our Thermal Cat Mats. Essentially, they're really nice and compact cat beds that have a hidden layer of thermal material that passively reflects heat back to your cat. It keeps them twice as warm as a regular bed and is very comfy, but is nice and thin. We've actually had lots of folks buy several at a time in a single order.

So what's the deal? Why do cats (and their owners) love them so much? Sure it's warm. Sure it's comfy, but I have an additional hypothesis.

It's crinkly.

That's right, when your cat moves around on it, the thermal cat bed's internal thermal layer make a crinkly sound that drives cats bonkers with feline affection. They love to endlessly roll around on this thing, soak in the warmth and listen to the crinkly sounds.

Who knew?

Wow. A dog in Murray Utah was captured on video sneaking into a grocery store in broad daylight, and stealing a rawhide dog treat. He went in the front door, headed to the dog food aisle, and took a rawhide dog bone. He was confronted by a store manager, but made a break for the exit with his prize. The dog is still at large.

Pet strollers can get a lot of flack from casual observers. People can't seem to understand that little dogs have to work up to ten times as hard to keep up with you, since your legs are ten times longer than theirs. For little dogs, pet strollers are handy for those long walks around the park. Big dogs, however, can have energy and endurance to spare.
