BARCS Benefit at Cafe Hon is a Howling Good Time

What might have been a typical Tuesday evening (but wasn’t) January 10, had Baltimore’s Café Hon, teeming with people.  Whether one squeezed into the front door and stayed put or carved out a home at the back end of the bar, clearly, this was the place to be on this night.

Terriers in Topiaries? Goldens in the Garden!

Flowers, frothing over at exhibit after exhibit, formed into life-size dioramas or into petite forms of shoes, purses or in vases—it certainly awakens the senses and the… more

Ruff Life Rescue Destroyed By Fire

The one thing I never expected to get out of Facebook was the sense of community that has formed around dog rescue (and animal rescue in general).  I try to temper my pleas for homeless shelter dogs and lost pets with other fun news and articles, but there’s always a needy hound or fluffy feline needing something… more

Make Black Friday FIDO Friday

If you’re anything like FUROCIOUS, you avoid Black Friday.  While I consider myself a blue-ribbon, black-belt-wearing inveterate shopper, venturing out on this particular day, which seems to attract all manner of novice-like behavior from parking space spats to ankle-banging cart encounters, it just makes good sense to leave those less skilled to their own devices.

Growling for Guinness and All Things Irish

It’s not all shamrocks and swinging kilts at Maryland’s Irish Festival (http://www.irishfestival.com), although you’ll see plenty of that, too.  But tucked amid the wood carvings of Celtic Knots and sterling silver Claddaghs, you’ll meet some pretty impressive four-legged hounds this weekend at the Timonium Fairgrounds.

FUROCIOUS admits to weak knees when it comes to Irish Wolfhounds. … more

Howling for Safety This Halloween

Dear FUROCIOUS followers,

As we head into another Halloween, spirits are high, children are squealing, candy is flying and costumes are taking center stage.  If you’re not ‘decorating’ your dog with a costume, chances are, you’re too busy to think about Fido’s safety, but Halloween can be a treacherous time for dogs AND cats. Here are… more
