So distraught from all the dog adoption drama, Ellen decided to take a day off from the taping of her show. Things should be back to normal for next week’s broadcasts. Oh, what will the weekend hold??? Save Iggy!!!! PS, that’s a photo of Iggy above.
Pierre Barnoti, executive director of the Montreal SPCA, likened many pet adoption interviews to “the Spanish Inquisition…I’ll be crucified for saying this, but a lot of people are convinced this is the only way of doing it.”
Just in time for the holiday shopping rush, a mall in Michigan is opening its door to small dogs! Iggy wants an Ipod shuffle! 123-go!
Britney apparently requested her Yorkie couriered to her as she shopped in a Beverly Hills department store. I wish they’d go ahead and standardize the sizes on small dog clothing, it’s so hard to tell what’s going to fit.

There are plans to erect a dog walk of fame in Battersea Park, London. The first inductees will be chosen by public vote and will be unveiled on Nov 5th!
Ellen claims she’s done talking about the Iggy affair and believes that the situation has gotten “out of hand.” The Moms and Muts dog agency still ain’t budging and are refusing to return to Iggy to the home of Ellen’s hairdresser. Marina Batkiss, co-owner of Moms and Mutts adoption agency, told Inside Edition, ” if Ellen wants to place dogs and decide what’s a good home, then she should start her own rescue group.” I second that idea!

The just magic keeps on rolling in! A Mesa, Arizona man has invented a bike sea for small dogs (under 40lbs). Named the Saki Seat, after the inventor’s own 8-year old Shabu Inu, your pup can now sit comfortable between your legs while you leisurely pedal about town. Ingenious! I’ll take 132 please. Do you think these things work with hybrid wolf puppies? Megan Pauley can’t stop raving about the Saki Seat she found on Craig’s List, According to Arizona Central,“I have tried everything from putting my dog in a baby seat on the back of my bike to pulling him in one of those kiddy bike trailers…It allows the dog to be centered on the bike allowing a more stable setting for you and your dog…Even a novice biker could enjoy a bike ride with their dog.”

Ellen and Portia had no idea what they were getting themselves into with Iggy! After a tearful plea in her show yesterday, for the Mutts and Moms adoption agency to return the pup to her hairstylist’s family, Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun from the adoption agency have received voice mail and e-mail threats of death and arson! Batkis rejected Ellen’s plea to return the pup to her hairstylist’s homes. According to CNN, an attorney representing the adoption agency said of Batkis, “she is adamant that she is not going to be bullied around by the Ellen DeGenereses of the world…” He went on to claim that, “they are using their power, position and wealth to try to get what it is they want.” Time to make popcorn and cozy up next to the old telly, I can’t wait to see how this one plays out. Poor Iggy, will all the attention of fame and fortune take its toll?

A word of warning to everyone, keep your friends close and your small dogs closer, or you could end up like John and Megan Hulme. Their dog Bear went-a-missing over the summer and then two months later they received a call from a woman who, after seeing a missing dog ad the Hulme’s had posted on-line, believed she was fostering their pup Bear. Joyous reunion???? Think again! The agency that rescued Bear had already adopted her out to another family, “the dog they believe is Bear is named Latte and is living with another family.” Talk about salt in the wounds.
A smart pup on Long Island is lucky to be alive today, after he survived a fire that engulfed his home. How did he do it? Magic of course!
