Clementine’s Munchies

Clementine’s Munchies is inspired by Clementines true life Cinderella story. Clementine began life as a chained, neglected, and very sick pup. Her original owners were mistreating her & failed to get her the medical attention she desperately needed for her Demodex Mange. A neighbor, who noticed her horrendous condition, pleaded with her owners to help Clementine but they refused. One day when the neighbor returned home from work, she found Clementine tethered to her front porch. She immediately rushed Clementine to the emergency vet where she began receiving urgent medical care that was long overdue. Ring Dog Rescue, a Richmond VA bully breed rescue, stepped in & welcomed Clementine into their hearts & into their program where she spent the next year fighting for her life. Eventually her foster mom, who realized she could not let a day go by without Clementine by her side, adopted her. She now lives a happy, healthy, & itch free life!

The world’s northernmost sled dog race nets awesome views

Every night auroras could be seen during Norways Finnmarksløpet race.

Every night auroras could be seen during Norway's Finnmarksløpet race.

FINNMARKSLOPET:  You’ve heard of the Iditarod. But do you know about the Finnmarksløpet? “Finnmarksløpet is the world’s northernmost sled dog race and the longest in Europe,” explains Kerstin Langenberger of Finnmark, Norway. “It was held this year in mid-March. Every night auroras could be seen – it was awesome!

“Most of the time I was busy helping at the race, but at the Sirma checkpoint I managed to photograph some auroras dancing right above a few of the teams that were having a few hours of well-deserved rest,” says Langenberger.

Indeed, March 2010 has been one of the busiest months in years for Arctic Lights. It’s a sign that the sun is waking up from a long slumber. For the record, the 1019 km race was won on March 18th by Ralph Johannessen. He and his dogs crossed the finish line in only 5 days, 8 hours and 58 minutes … under green skies, of course.

Snausages hosts 1st Man Sled Race

PEOPLE Pets reports:

Forget the Iditarod. Earlier this week, residents of Anchorage, Alaska, were all about the Snausages Man Sled Race, a crazy event in which people pulled pups!

Four teams of humans dragged sleds — with dogs as the mushers — and raced across a frozen pond to win money for their pet charity of choice.

Even celebrities love huskies

PEOPLE Pets is reporting that celebrity couple, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have adopted a husky from a rescue organization.

The 1-year-old Siberian husky, named Kona, was on display at a roadside adoption event in Los Angeles. “I was driving down Ventura and we saw rescue dogs on the side of the road,” he explained. “Vanessa was with me — I don’t make those kind of decisions alone anymore — but since I grew up with a husky, I couldn’t resist.”
