Smalldogarific: A Study of Small Dogs

Float like a small dog, string like a bee

February 13th, 2007

The other day I was walking down the street and saw a woman walking two large dogs. Each dog was wearing human clothing. The one had on an orange vest and the other was wearing what to me looked like a Member’s Only jacket. Big dogs are so crazy!

I have another very important (and adorable) small dog to introduce you to today. Weighing in at 4lbs, he recently celebrated his first birthday and is slated to take home the smalldog-lightweight-deliciousness championship of the world. I present to you…Wilbur the Toy Fox Terrier. His owner tells me, “by the size of him you would think he’s so quiet and fragile, but believe it or not he is the one who picks on his brothers which are bigger than him! Wilbur’s favorite thing to do is pose for pictures which are later turned into photo greeting cards and sent out to his relatives for the holidays.”

This is a really cute story: Cat Adopts Abandoned Puppy.

Stella (Chico’s owner) wanted me to let everyone know about an important event that happens every Saturday in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, NY. In case you are in the market to adopt a small dog, or other pet, stop by this event. Here are the details:

Saturday, February 17
Salem Lutheran Church
67th Street (Ovington Ave) between 4th & 5th Avenue
From 12 noon to 4pm
Cats, Dogs, Kittens and Pups.

Also to those in the NY area, Chico is about to get a taste of fame. He will be present for the taping of a special doggie segment this Wednesday, February 14 at 9am on the Mike & Julia show on Fox 5. Look for him!

I’ll drink to that:
