Smalldogarific: A Study of Small Dogs

Small dogs on the move

October 24th, 2006

I walked around Central Park on my lunch break hoping to meet a small dog to feature on here but I only saw large dogs. Rottweilers, German Shepards, Golden Retrievers. Since this is an official scientific study, you might be wondering, “what exactly constitutes a small dog?” I suppose I should define that. Small dogs are any dog (or dog like being) that is typically below the knee and can be held in one’s hands or arms.

I saw these Licorice Scotties at Trader Joe’s this past weekend but they only have them in black licorice. There’s no denying that small dogs are extremely edible.

I have decided to use Wordpress to host Smalldogarific. Update your bookmarks.

I don’t know how to link to my two previous posts so I am going to cut and paste them below for your reading enjoyment.

Perhaps I am jumping the gun a little but Halloween is almost upon us. There’s no denying that small dogs + costumes = brilliance.

Here are a few from an interoffice forward:

Several websites are already sold out of these gems but you can still order them here.

Buster lives with my family in Pennsylvania. He is a wired hair Jack Russell, though the vet told me he’s probably not a purebred. He is known to take Milo and Otis like adventures with Rose (my family’s Black Lab and resident NON-small dog). Once, he found his way to Delaware, care of an employee of the Great Valley Corporate Center. We looked for him for a good 24 hours and posted signs hoping for his safe return. I had visions of him falling through the ice of our pond and frozen solid beneath the surface, that is until the ASPCA informed me otherwise. I had to drive over an hour in a snow storm to pick him up. His primary caretaker is my Nana. If he so much as strays 10 feet from the kitchen door she shrieks his name at a decibel that could break glass. My step-father and I believe that he would love the city, and often discuss how I should take him for a visit and carry him around on my chest in a baby carrier, obviously because we are both mentally ill.
