Dear friends,
Do not adjust your small dog television. I know, I know, it’s been awhile… There’s been a lot in the world of small dog news over the past few months, Barack Obama has been elected president, and will soon be heading to the White House, with a small dog in tow! God bless america, it’s a beautiful, beautiful place!
I don’t have time to get into all that’s happened over the last few months, but there are a few very important things, that I do need to share with you. This is all, on a need to know basis…
First, Gus, the world’s ugliest dog, has headed for the last roundup and has passed on to the great beyond. God rest his ugly, ugly soul.
Second, check out some Puppy Cam awesomeness, you won’t regret it!
Until next time dear readers, peace and small dog love.

My dearest friends, I can’t seem to find the time to post on here these days. Between the discovery of 800 small dogs in a triple wide trailer and a drunk murdering a dog in a washing machine, I don’t know how everyone’s managing to keep up with all the small dog news! Do share your wisdom with me. Unfortunately, time is not on my side these days, so today’s post will be brief.

I do hope that in my absence that your fondness for small dogs has increased, exponentially. One thing I know that I am fond of is the San Lazaro celebration that recently happened in Nicaragua. Annually, on March 9th, hundreds gather alongside their pets at the Santa Maria Magdalena church in Masaya, Nicaragua, where they pray for their pet’s health and safety. According to Reuters, “locals say the tradition goes back to the colonial period after the Spanish conquest.” And people claim that all colonizers brought to the new world were pestilence and death. Pish posh to that!

Crufts, the world’s largest dog show, is currently taking place in the UK. They’ve got big dogs, small dogs and dancing dogs. The show is so popular and well respected that hotel chain Travelodge are providing their dog guests with their own beds. Will that include turn-down service?

There’s some unfortunate news out of Kashmir, India. Due to the enormous stray population and the rapid spread of rabies, officials have begun poisoning it’s 100,000 stray population. A sad solution, to a sad problem.
Cars can either be a curse or a blessing for your small dog.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a hawk. NO! It’s a coyote.

There’s some really sad and horrifying small dog news to report. Earlier today, a video appeared on YouTube of a Marine throwing a puppy of a cliff! I did not see the video, nor would I ever look as such a horrifying thing, but I am shocked, appalled and horrified just the same. What a sick and disgusting individual! Shame on you US Marines! I hope this sicko is punished.
A tiny, little dog in Vancouver, caused a load of trouble when he got stuck under the brake pedal of his owner’s van. A man escaped uninjured after his chihuahua, Paco, decided to cozy up under his pedal, causing him to lose control of his vehicle and end up at the bottom of a 50 foot ravine. Do you think a certain marine was actually behind this?

I have something really amazing to share (c/o Matthew). Be warned, do not click on this unless you want to be totally delighted…One word, PUG! Three more words, spic and span!
Now that I got that out of the way, how are you doing, friends? Once again time has escaped me and smalldogarific has temporarily fallen by they way side. Do remember though, I am always here in spirit.

Not only is Mylie Cyrus one of the hottest pop stars around but she’s also a friend to small dogs.
Paris Hilton may be a friend to small dogs, but the LAPD aren’t having it. The heiress, who boasted about her 17 dogs on the the Ellen DeGeneres show, has been forced to send some of her dogs packing after an animal rights group complained.
Not the work of small dogs but, a mail carrier in Pennsylvania was trapped in her mail truck for two hours after a resident’s dogs went all Cujo on her and flattened three of her tires. The dog’s owner thinks the dogs attacked the tires because she recently bought chew toys that look like a tire.

Some grim and disturbing news out of Australia, where a 16-ft long python stalked and ate a families terrier/chihuahua mix as the family watched. Stuart Douglas, owner of the Australian Venom Zoo in Kuranda, said the python was out to get the doomed pup and that it actively stalked the dog for several days. He went on to say, “the family that owned the dog had actually seen it in the dog’s bed, which was a sign it was out to get it.” Ummmm, I dont know how the Aussie’s do things, but if a 16-foot long python was cozying up with my small dog, I’d surely think it would be cause for concern.
In the battle to fight depression and loneliness in the elderly, dogs and robots crossed the finish line neck and neck.

Even dogs are going green. I am mostly anxious to know when they will release the small dog Prius, it’s long overdue.
Effective October 1, Los Angeles will mandate sterilization for dogs and cats by the time they are 4 months old. What’s next, internment camps? Good thing the Utah Senate just gave the preliminary OK to making torturing a dog or cat a felony. Here’s to keeping things in check.

It turns out that the European Union is literally a hotbed for small dognapping.
A 9-year old Bassett Hound, Blue Heeler mix is lucky to be alive after he decided to go all Dorothy and Toto on his owners. Two weeks after a tornado hit and Pongo was blown away, he found his back home, thin but healthy.

You might wonder what life is like after winning one of the most prestigious titles in the world, the title of course of the world’s smallest dog. I am sure some of you assume that after the flash bulbs fade and the paparazzi scatter that life is likely to take many wrong turns, as it does for so many child actors who are thrust into a grown up world of public notoriety too quickly (i.e. Britney). Some of you may remember Dancer, the little chihuahua who took home the title last year. Where is dancer now you might ask? Passed out on a beach in Mexico? On the lam from the law? Of course not!!!!! Dancer is now showing off his skills as a therapy dog! If you go to that link you can watch him in action!
It looks like the dog bottled water market is booming! Human aren’t the only ones who need their water put into plastic and shipped half way around the world for enjoyment and consumption. I have a friend whose dog made herself sick from dehydration when she refused to drink tap water, apparently, they learned she had a taste for Evian.
