There’s been so much talk about Britney and who has custody of her children but, another good question, who has custody of her dogs??? E claims they are in “safe custody.”
If you live in the Houston area, keep your eyes on your small dogs, a Houston news station reports that the city is literally a hotbed for dognapping.

An oldie, but a goodie. I wonder if Hallmark or 1-800-Flowers has started selling clones of this small dog yet? If so, I’ll take the usual, a baker’s dozen.

Providing even more irrefutable evidence that small dogs are cuter than big dogs, for the first time every, a little beagle named Uno took top dog honors at the Westminster Dog Show. According to the Associate Press, Uno celebrated his victory by, “chewing on the microphones of reporters who tried to interview his winning crew.”

In a sad and shocking turn of events, it has just been confirmed that several puppies from this year’s Puppy Bowl have the deadly canine parvovirus. So sad.
Once again we pose the age old question, Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who let the “murderous” American Staffordshire terriers out? Who? Who? Who?
A woman in Sweden was fined after she refused to sell her puppy to a Lesbian. The kennel owner reportedly made it clear, “that she did not trust homosexuals and had read that transvestites sexually abused animals.”

Small dogs, small dogs, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes small dog in a baby carriage. If you are expecting, your small dog may need some therapy.
Poodles may make good therapy dogs, but they need to brush up their image because people are refusing to believe they are the real deal.

Check out the Baltimore Sun to see which dog your presidential candidate looks like. They neglected to include Obama or Hilalry. That’s a little unfair telling that poor French Bulldog that they look like Rudy Giuliani. That’s pretty insulting.If you are traveling through Miami County and spot a hitchhiking Chihuahua, don’t trust him! Apparently, the pooch has been wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting good Samaritans that have stopped to pick him up. Seven little pooch, NOT six!!!!!!

I am not going to lie, I am a little disappointed in yesterday’s Puppy Bowl. I had high hopes, after last year’s amazing show, but this year, I felt that the puppies featured were hardly what I would consider small, and about 75% of the puppies were large breed dogs. What gives Animal Planet? Am i sizeist?
A bizarre story out of Alice, Texas, the mayor of the small town shamefully resigned after stealing her neighbor’s Shih Tzu Puddles. Grace Saenz-Lopez was asked to watch her neighbor’s Shih Tzu when they took a vacay over the summer. Upon their return, Saenz-Lopez claimed Puddles had died while they were and spared them the trouble by already burying him. Presto chango, Puddles becomes Panchito, and suspicion is aroused when Saenz-Lopez takes an identical dog to the local groomer. Saenz-Lopez later admitted that she stole the dog, claimed that he had been mistreated by the neighbors, but refused to give him back. Now Puddles/Panchito is at the center of a brutal custody battled. Saenz-Lopez, before you do anything rash, just ask yourself, what would Britney do???

I am not sure what the problem is here, but they seem to think it’s shocking that Helen Bogus adopted one dog and ended up with 14. Helen, I think that’s what they call “magic.” And, over in the UK they are making a fuss about a dog that gave birth to 16 puppies. Cha-ching! Jackpot.
Kudos to the powers that be in Iowa, they just proposed a law that would make it a felony to even watch dog fighting!

I apologize if anyone has experienced any problems with the new website. I updated to a new hosting company and things have been a little wacky. I posted something late last night on here and I swear it showed up before I went to sleep, and now it’s no where to be found. I hope this message finds its way to you! If you don’t hear back from in a week, please send out a small dog rescue party. Speaking of, will anyone be watching the new episode of Lost tonight???

Doesn’t this winter weather make you want to scoop a small dog into your arms and get away from it all? I don’t know what the pet policy is at the beautiful Mount Airy Lodge, but if your head didn’t already explode from the above photo, you can take a vacay to the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in California, where you can relax on the beach and sip strawberry daiquiris while your pup takes surfing lessons.
While in California, if you have any information leading the return of a family in Orange Country are offering a 10,000 reward for the return of their Yorkshire Terrier, Louie, who was stolen out of their car in a Target parking lot, while they leisurely strolled the aisles for the hottest bargains in town. “Other items taken from the car included gifts she was intending to return — a pair of pants for her daughter, soccer shin guards for her son and her bra.”

Now a scientist is claiming that loneliness might be what compels people to dress up their dogs. Nicholas Epley, a professor of human behavior at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business says that “one of the strategies people may use to alleviate their sense of isolation or loneliness is what you might call inferential reproductions: People make up humans out of non-humans.” The nerve of this man and his quackery! I have never heard tell of such things. Perhaps we should alert the folks at Costume Dogs that they very well may be the loneliest people alive.
