Yesterday, I mentioned a pup that was born in Vietnam that allegedly resembles an elephant. Honestly, from this photo, I believe this pup more closely resembles a lamb with a human tongue. Thoughts?

I thought this feat of heroism was worth mentioning. Man Saves Dog With Mouth-To-Snout Action. Randy Gurchin rescued his pup Lucy, a 10-month old English Bulldog, after she fell through the ice on a partial frozen lake. Mouth-to-mouth on a baby Bulldog????? No comment.

The new trend appears to be fur coloring for dogs, Coloured pooches setting the trend. My hair has been blue, pink, purple, blonde and a variety of other colors, so, who am I to judge? I just hope people recognize how expensive it is to maintain those roots!

Cold4thetreets sent me an article that has these photos of Weasel, the Border Terrier Cross that was born with no ears. Apparently, he actually has the ability to hear it’s just that he doesn’t have any ears or ear openings. Fascinating.

Moira wrote the Dog Lady explaining that, ever since the big snip, she has been unable to come to terms with her small dog Simon’s gender identity. He seems to be a little too “in touch with his feminine side.” Moira rebukes those who incorrectly call her Scottish Terrier a she. The Dog Lady responds, “Simon’s identity is part of your identity…You must admit private parts are difficult to discern at first glance on squat, hairy fellows – especially because we can’t sniff under the skirts the way the dogs can.” I am not sure I fully understand that last part there! Anyone?
Dear Moira:
Might I suggest you pick up something by Michel Foucault or Judith Butler?
All the best,

Dear Kind Readers:
I will be away for the next few weeks so my posts will most likely be delayed. I will do my best to try and post every day but this may not be possible. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your small dog.
In the meantime, please enjoy this:

Ever since Yorkies shot into second place on a list of America’s most popular breeds, there have been a rash of Yorkie-nappings! As a follow up to a story from the other day, a second puppy-nap suspect has been nabbed. The Kansas City Star published an article today that addresses the trend. Putting the collar on Yorkie-nappers. They have a few suggestions of what you can do to help protect your Yorkie, but sadly, throwing down a mean heel stomp to the face isn’t mentioned anywhere in there! Can you believe it? Bonnie Baker, my college karate teacher, would be disappointed!

Hotels going to the dogs! Apparently, some hotels now have dogs filling the position of “Director of Pet Relations.” The hotel Monaco in Denver and Portland, have pups in their lobbies to greet other canine guests. Genius.
Thieves abandon jewels for Yorkies. Jason Probst writes, “maybe because people can’t resist the miniature dog’s charm.” Or Jason, perhaps it’s because they are 100% delicious.

Amber wrote to me about her Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Taffy. Amber explained that Taffy is not camera shy and actually likes getting dressed up. I love the name Taffy, I think Nana’s brother once had a Chihuahua named Taffy, or maybe it was Chichi. Either way, he’d take the dog to restaurants at the NJ shore and demand she get served just as other patrons. I think she liked meatballs. Uncle John would argue, “this dog is better behaved than most children.”

People always marvel at Buster’s attraction to motorized vehicles. When you head up my family’s driveway, it is not an uncommon sight to see Buster atop a 4-wheel ATV vehicle, or seated at the helm of a bulldozer. Sometimes, I think about buying him a pilot’s bonnet and goggles, so he can fly off into the sunset like Amelia Earhart. I bet he’d get along with Toby, a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix, who is a talented equestrian! I wish they included photos with the article. For now, this will have to do.

That’s Freddie, another amazing horse riding dog!
The world is just full of amazing headlines today. Dog with college degree called to court. Apparently, in Fostoria, Ohio the city police chief AND the department’s police dog both have degrees in criminal justice from the same online school based in the Virgin Islands. The article states, “The issue gives “one pause, if not paws, for concern” about what it takes to get the degrees from the school based in the Virgin Islands, Gene Murray wrote in a court document filed Monday.” I hope someone gets to the bottom of how this cop managed to get a degree.
Finally, Motion Sickness Drug Approved For Dogs! God bless America!
