Dear Smalldogarific readers:

I have been plagued with a spotty internet connection. I do apologize for not celebrating this momentous occasion sooner (as pointed out by Steve). Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Smalldogarific has reached 20,000 hits! Thank you to everyone for reading (and loving small dogs). It wouldn’t have been possible with out all of you! “I would rather be here with you than anywhere else in the world. You, all of you here and everywhere, gave me this award tonight. And I accept it from you and only you. I love all of you. Now please forgive me, good night.”

Another momentous feat, a pair of surfers rescued a dog that was swept off a pier and into Lake Michigan. One brave surfer, grabbed the dog’s collar, just as he stopped paddling, and hoisted him onto a board. The pair managed to guide him ashore atop a surf board.

Leona’s dog Trouble may not last as America’s richest dog. Apparently, Oprah has set up a trust fund for her dogs, in the event that she passes on to the great beyond, her four dogs will inherit a cool $30 million!

I’ll drink to that:

Well, I’m running down the road, tryin’ to loosen my load. I’ve got seven small dogs on my mind, four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, one says she’s a friend of mine. Take it easy, take it easy.

A moment of silence please for Orpah’s golden retriever Gracie, who choked to death on a plastic ball that belonged to Sophie, Winfrey’s 12-year-old cocker spaniel. Despite that this happened in May, Oprah still mourns the loss of her pup, but admits that she has taken one positive life lesson away from the incident, “enjoy life but remember to slow down, too.”

Despite the new “Doggie Dining Law” that went into effect in St. Louis, they’ve got nothing on Boston and Vancouver when it comes to the pursuit of liberty and happiness for small dogs. According to Dogfriendly.com Boston and Vancouver were rated the top two most dog friendly cities.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted by a federal grand jury, in an investigation of illegal dog fighting. Hopefully they’ll send him off to Camp Cupcake, or worse.

Teenagers have taken their neighborhood hijinks to a whole new level. Puppy Stuffed In Mailbox In Vandalism Spree.
