Move over Super Bowl XLIII, Animal Planet's annual puppy competition Puppy Bowl V is back with an "all-star, all-adoptable" lineup of feisty, adorable pups.
Animal Planet has some "new recruits that are ready for their chance to conquer the pigskin--or a chew toy." Every puppy featured in Puppy Bowl V is recruited from a local shelter, and these little ones are "free agents" looking for a loving home.

- high voltage supplied by low voltage can kill the flea and other living things attached to the pet
- suitable for cats&dogs and other long hair pets;
- operated by 2*AAA baterries;
Think we will stick with our 20th century Flea Comb.

In our most recent Super Cool Pet Books -- Amazon.com New Book Releases 1/10/09, we featured Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals
by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson.
Most pet lovers have wondered from time to time how to "create the best life" for their pet, and given the author's autistic background, the topic of the book is intriguing. The NYTimes has posted a review. Here's an excerpt:
Ms. Grandin bases many of her observations in "Animals Make Us Human" on the work of a Washington State University neuroscientist named Jaak Panksepp who identified a series of core "emotion systems" in animals: seeking, play, care and lust (on the positive side) and fear, panic and rage (on the negative).
"The rule is simple," Ms. Grandin writes. "Don't stimulate rage, fear and panic if you can help it, and do stimulate seeking and also play." Ms. Grandin employs Dr. Panksepp's terms throughout "Animals Make Us Human," but they are really only a framework for her more interesting riffing and observations.
