Whenever I pass a VKC Dog Park, I am always tempted to stop and play with the dogs. I love the way they all run up to greet me. They are so cute when they run around and play fetch with toys. I just can't resist hugging them or scratching their tummies. They are so responsive and such fun.

Now the fun just became more affordable. Adoption fees for the majority of VKC Dogs have dropped dramatically, just in…

The Virtual Kennel Club™ is entering its fifth year of providing what are, in the opinion of many discerning folks (myself included), the best, most lifelike, smartest dogs in all of SL.

During the last weekend of August, the celebration of this anniversary spread across many regions as concerts, parties, prize drawings, and special classes took place in the VKC Dog Parks all…

Just to be explicit, the VKC dogs do not capture, nor have they ever captured, IP addresses.

You may have read or been told otherwise, but the claims that the Virtual Kennel Club, its creator, or any of its staff have an interest in violating your privacy are completely false and utterly without merit.

Do you ever wonder what Enrico Genosse, the fellow who created the wonderful VKC™ dogs, does on a Saturday morning? Just like the rest of us, he has chores to do! See the video of Mr. Genosse and a host of VKC friends giving their dogs a bath.

Bring your dog and come visit the new park. You need…

I have been out chasing bunnies, free bunnies from Enrico Genosse, the creator of the dogs of the VIrtual Kennel Club. Yay! So far, I have caught a pink one (of course!) plus a black and a yellow one. I still have five more to find and catch. I took the pink one home. As soon as I set it out, my dog perked right up and began sniffing it. I just said the word and she started running and jumping in an effort to catch the bunny to play with it. What a hilarious sight!!! lol

Previously, I have talked about the VKC mixed breed dog, affectionately known as the Widget. Yesterday, I was looking over the new and improved VKC website and learned more. If you click on the page for the Mutt (Widget), you will see the record of charitable giving. A portion…

Around the Web and in world, one self-appointed dean of dogdom has been making mountains out of a molehills.

A new refrain to an old song appeared today and been repeated on numerous websites associated with him. "On the VKC official website, many of you noticed that the "poses" chart has errors," read one notice. Having created a problem, he rides to the rescue of all those poor souls who may be mislead, providing a "corrected copy" of the chart.

To set the record…
