That’s right friends, the SUPER BOWL is this weekend!! Do your pets get into the football frenzy with you? If you are cheering for Green Bay, why not let your pets cheer right along with you! With a simple cut and fold, you could have your very own cheesehead for your pet! We think that this papercraft Big Cheese from Green Bay-based furniture manufacturer KI is totally adorable, and would be a ton of fun to make before the big game.

Bad allegations connected to Whistler. Full article at the BBC News. Canadian police are investigating the reported killing of 100 huskies which had been used to pull tourist sleds in the ski resort of Whistler. An animal rights group claims the dogs were killed inhumanely by an outdoor adventure company and thrown into a mass grave. Local media reports say business slumped after the 2010 Winter Olympics and the dogs were no longer needed.

To the Editor: Re “ A Food Manifesto for the Future ” (column, Feb. 2): Let us give thanks for Mark Bittman! He is speaking sensibly about one of the most important issues we face as a nation. Better food creates better health. And yet our government is perversely encouraging food habits that negatively affect our health and our environment. His call for the end of factory farms (concentrated animal feeding operations) is courageous.

After Kyla Duffy’s first Don’t Kill Bill performance at Blogpaws in September, the Blogosphere was abuzz with videos and reviews. It entailed an aerial fabric performance (think Cirque du Soleil or that hotel commercial with the lady swinging from the drapes) set to beautiful music by animal advocate Marilyn Milano and a slide show about puppy mills and volunteering with rescues.
