Beauty Rest.

Dear friends,

Do not adjust your small dog television.   I know, I know, it’s been awhile…  There’s been a lot in the world of small dog news over the past few months, Barack Obama has been elected president, and will soon be heading to the White House, with a small dog in tow!  God bless america, it’s a beautiful, beautiful place!

I don’t have time to get into all that’s happened over the last few months, but there are a few very important things, that I do need to share with you.  This is all, on a need to know basis…

First, Gus, the world’s ugliest dog, has headed for the last roundup and has passed on to the great beyond.  God rest his ugly, ugly soul.

Second,  check out some Puppy Cam awesomeness, you won’t regret it!

Until next time dear readers, peace and small dog love.

Thank you Matthew for providing the above photo. It’s truly magical.

Does that photo even need any explanation? It’s clearly a Chihuahua praying at a Buddhist temple. Duh.

My dearest friends, I can’t seem to find the time to post on here these days. Between the discovery of 800 small dogs in a triple wide trailer and a drunk murdering a dog in a washing machine, I don’t know how everyone’s managing to keep up with all the small dog news! Do share your wisdom with me. Unfortunately, time is not on my side these days, so today’s post will be brief.

I do hope that in my absence that your fondness for small dogs has increased, exponentially. One thing I know that I am fond of is the San Lazaro celebration that recently happened in Nicaragua. Annually, on March 9th, hundreds gather alongside their pets at the Santa Maria Magdalena church in Masaya, Nicaragua, where they pray for their pet’s health and safety. According to Reuters, “locals say the tradition goes back to the colonial period after the Spanish conquest.” And people claim that all colonizers brought to the new world were pestilence and death. Pish posh to that!

According to the news, 800 small dogs were seized from a triple-wide mobile home in Arizona! How is that even possible???

The Lord giveth one small dog a new leg and taketh another decorated small dog out of the spotlight. Au revoir, Uno.
