Due to unforeseen circumstances, I regret that today’s post will be short, and I may not be available to post on here until after Labor Day. If I don’t find my way on here before then, have a nice holiday!

Britney made a visit to a veterinary hospital with her new Yorkie. Her assistant/cousin Alli Sims, insists that the visit was just a check-up, despite reports that Britney appeared upset when she arrived at the hospital. Check out Britney looking deranged (thanks Stephanie for pointing that out).
Smalldogarific will be on hiatus for the next few weeks. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

I apologize for my absence yesterday but I just couldn’t drag myself out of bed and once I did, the day escaped me.
No one seems to be up in arms about Paris Hilton purchasing a baby Chihuahua from the same pet store as Britney. Speaking of Britney’s new dog, The Star reports that she let her “puppy poop on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown, wiped her greasy hands on a pink silk Alisha Levine dress, took bathroom breaks without closing the door and fled after four test shots still wearing more than $14,000 of OK!’s borrowed clothing, the magazine said. Last week, Spears was pictured stripping down to her bra and see-through mesh panties to take an impromptu dip in the Pacific Ocean near Malibu. Another bizarre report last week had Spears applying to be a cocktail waitress at a Hollywood bar.” After that stunt, I am sure Britney will get rid of her puppy any day now, praise be, praise be.

Ducky, the world’s smallest dog, might have some competition next year. There’s a new small dog in town named Penny Precious. Weighing in at just 14 ounces, her owner says she may never grow to more than a pound. She has to eat human baby food because dog food is too hard. When she was born, she was the size of a mouse. Apparently, she’s so small that when she walked across her owner’s computer keyboard, she didn’t press down a single key! That’s at least 92% magic.
St. Louis might just be the most small dog friendly city. The mayor there just signed into law the “Doggie Dining Bill,” which allows restaurant patrons to dine at restaurant patios and sidewalk cafes with their pets. I’ll have the veggie burger well done, and Penny Precious, she’ll have the child’s chicken fingers with fries.
Britney just can’t seem to keep herself out of the public eye. The AKC, among others, are publically shaming her for buying a puppy mill raised Yorkie at a pet store. Shame on your Britney. Hiss hiss. What kind of example is that? Marcia has asked for an official Smalldogarific comment on this travesty, and an official statement I shall deliver…
Dear Smalldogarific readers,
I hope that God will intervene so that her Britney’s Yorkie puppy can find a new home. I am certain that her pup would be better off roaming the Sunset Strip with hippies and vagrants. A night club is no place for a young pup, everyone knows that dogs have super sensitive hearing. If that pup hasn’t gone deaf already, from listening to the sound of Britney’s voice, its hearing will certainly be compromised whoring itself around to the hottest night clubs in Hollywood. Britney’s actions continually prove that she is unfit for mothering. Yorkie’s of the world need to mobilize and take action. Marica, can we get an Anderson Cooper 360 exclusive on this one?
