Smalldogarific: A Study of Small Dogs

They’re out to get you, there’s small dogs closing in on every side. They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial. Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together. All thru the night I’ll save you from the terror on the screen, I’ll make you see.

Happy Halloween!!!

For all those in the NY area, what a pity if you missed this: Dogs Pull Sleds Topped With Dog Chow in Televised Morningside Park Competition.

See small dogs walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight. Heads turning as the lights flashing out it’s so bright. Then walk right out to the fourline track. There’s a camera rolling on her back, on her back. And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine.

I apologized for the abridged nature of today’s post. I hope these photos will suffice until I can return with my ridiculously witty and charming commentary.

There never was a sea level, there was never a star, except the ones I pushed into your body. Believe me when I say that I was every small dog for you. I swear that all my lying was the bravest form of truth.

The LAPD may have dropped the ball with the Iggy/Ellen drama. This is shocking and scandalous as the LAPD are famous for never screwing up anything in the history of police and police departments. I have no idea how they let this one slip through the cracks. Apparently, the LAPD should have never let Marina Batkis take Iggy back in the first place. The Mutts & Moms adoption agency were not licensed to operate business at the time they issued the adoption contract to Ellen, thus making it null and void. Also, Marina Batkis allegedly entered Ellen’s hairdresser’s home under false pretenses. When she arrived at their home she claimed she was there to do a “home inspection.” Does this mean Iggy’s free? Not exactly. More updates soon.

As I have always suspected, new studies show that if you are stressed out, the best way to calm the nerves is to pet a small dog!

Here’s some advice for you and your small dog for the upcoming holiday. My favorite bit comes from Kathy Santo, a New Jersey dog trainer, “‘if a dog truly hates costumes, then owners should let it be’… but most dogs can be trained to enjoy dressing up and being the center of attention if it’s done correctly.” And correctly done it shall be Kathy.

Speaking of small dogs and Halloween, I want to see Carol Wells’ dogs on October 31. According to the Kansas City Star, one of them will be wearing a thong! “This year her therapy-trained Dalmatians, Carmen and Jonah, are going to be Victoria’s Secret and Joe Boxer, respectively…When she takes the dogs on their Halloween rounds of hospitals this year, Carmen will wear a thrift-store Victoria’s Secret bra, size 32A, and black lace panties with a hole cut out for her tail. Jonah will be a Chippendale dancer in a pinstripe vest, white collar, black bow tie and black Joe Boxer underwear with fake money tucked into the waistband. ‘It’s kind of tricky trying to put a pair of panties on a boy dog,’ Wells said.” I’ll believe it when I see it Carol.

It turns out that dog shows are a dirty business. A dog groomer from central Illinois has been charged with intimidation, criminal damage to property and cruel treatment to animals after feeding antifreeze-laced hamburger meat to two dogs owned by a competitor.

30,000 and counting!!!!!
