Cast your vote to name this adorable puppy by going to our photo album on Facebook.
What’s this all about? The V.P. of Canine Communications for The Iams Company, Euka, has submitted her letter of resignation effective later this year. We have done a massive search to find her replacement, and this puppy is the one! So now we need to name him, and we asked our Facebook community to help. Did I mention that he’s seriously cute?
Digging? Naw! I'm just having a rest here by this hole that will eventually go under the fence...
Hey! I wasn't the one who left that used tissue sitting on top of the table just waiting for some enterprising young pup to turn it into artificial snow....

Some very exciting news! Our second annual “Behind the Paw” summit is scheduled for next week! We’ve invited a furbulous group of pet community advocates and anipals to come for a visit to learn more about P&G Pet Care. We’ll be tweeting about it–if you’re on Twitter be sure to watch for #BehindThePaw to get updates. Here’s a preview of what’s happening!

The new wind turbine at our pet food plant in Coevorden, The Netherlands
You probably don’t know that Procter & Gamble (P&G) has a corporate sustainability program. You might also not know that P&G Pet Care (the company I work for) has a pet food plant in Coevorden, The Netherlands, that makes our products for consumers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
As part of our (P&G’s) corporate sustainability program, the ultimate goal is to power our plants with 100% renewable energy. We will accomplish this in increments. By 2020, we want P&G’s plants to be powered by at least 30% renewable energy.
So here’s what I find really exciting: This month, the Iams/Eukanuba plant in Coevorden added a wind turbine to its power grid, and by pressing the red button that started the turbine our plant jumped the 2020 deadline by 8 years! Our Coevorden plant is now getting one third of its power from the very first P&G wind turbine! As my buddy Dan Rajczak (Senior Vice President of Global Pet Care and Snacks) said:
“Pet Care is proud to lead the way on turbine-generated renewable energy for P&G. Meeting our 2020 Sustainability goals for this plant a full eight years ahead of our commitment is a significant achievement.”
Dan is absolutely right! This makes me so proud!

Flat Tyler at the Bloggers' Table
Flat Tyler is the doggelganger of my dog Tyler Small Paws. When Fluffy Tyler can’t accompany me somewhere, Flat Tyler usually slips into my bag and then pops up–usually at the most embarrassing moment.
I didn’t realize I’d taken so many photos of Flat Tyler until I started to try to organize them. That was when I realized that what started as a little joke has turned into outright obsession.
Officer Tess is another member of the California Narcotics Canine Association. She’s trained to apprehend criminals. Though she looks ferocious when she’s in pursuit, she’s actually a very well socialized girl when she’s off-duty.

The dogs of the California Narcotics Canine Association are picked for their strong hunt and play drives. Officers–both human and canine–received regular training to keep them an effective and tight team.

Meet some of the men and women of the California Narcotics Canine Association. I got to see these canine teams in action as part of the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, where they did demonstrations showing how these incredible dogs protect their communities from the bad guys.

The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship will be broadcast on the ABC network this coming Sunday afternoon. The show was taped in early December, and I was lucky enough to be there!
The National Championship is more than just a dog show. There are many other events happening at the same time as conformation judging is happening. One of those events is the AKC Agility Invitational (for more details click this like to the AKC web site). Here are a few photos I took while I watched these amazing athletes compete.
