The Dallas Morning News has a pet blog. No, really. And you know what? Looking at the content, which includes a plea for help in finding a lost dog, I think this is a pretty good idea for a newspaper-based blog. Done in a smart way, it'll be small bits of stuff, including some time-sensitive info, the sort of thing that isn't enough to flesh out a full column and/or is already out of date by publication time. Given a choice between that and this, I'll take the pet blog any day. Now if they could just add links to individual entries...
