Chanel, a dachshund, is the world’s oldest dog at the grand old age of 20, and she’s in great health.

Port Jefferson dachshund is world’s oldest dog — Newsday.com reports:

“Whatever the family is doing works well, said Philip Zangra, their veterinarian in Port Jefferson Station. ‘Her condition is miraculous,’ he said.

In dog years, as they say, Chanel is 140 years old. Put it this way: If she were a human, she would have been born in 1869 - four years after Abraham Lincoln’s death.”

Have you been to see Marley & Me, the wonderful story about a wayward Labrador? Whether you own a pet Lab or not, you’ll love this movie.

WalesOnline - Lifestyle - Jennifer Aniston on Marley & Me reports:

“The film, somewhat more than just a rom-com or cute doggy romp, is proving to be 40-year-old Aniston’s most successful box office hit to date, having already taken more than £100m in the US, where it held on to the number one spot over the festive period in face of stiff big-screen competition.”

I read the book, and loved it, and can’t wait for the movie to come out on DVD so I can watch it again.

Dog photography: photographer tells all

March 10th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

Do you take photos of your dog? It’s not as easy as it looks. You usually need at least two people, one to take the photos, and other other to distract the dog.

A dog photographer reveals the tricks of the trade. Unleashed: How to photograph a Chihuahua - A blog for animal lovers on pets, dogs, cats, shelters and animal rescue - baltimoresun.com reports:

“We were out in front of the house letting him get some exercise and I really wanted to get a dog’s eye view of Kilo. I tried laying down on the ground, but he would either walk all the way up and sniff the lens or be completely indifferent to me making a boring image. I decided to just ’shoot from the hip’ (ankle actually) and held the camera as low as I could. I called Kilo and took a few shots as he was walking to me and I was walking away simultaneously”
