The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes. Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com
Post a picture of your pooch in costume before the Oct. 28 deadline, then check back to view the submissions in our 5th Annual Howwwwl-oween Costume Contest.
Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center has some awesome volunteers. Not only do they hold regular training sessions for shelter dogs, but now they're videoing them. Check out Reina's training session on the screen above, then go to www.youtube.com/oshea907 to see more dogs in training sessions.
