I have something really amazing to share (c/o Matthew). Be warned, do not click on this unless you want to be totally delighted…One word, PUG! Three more words, spic and span!
Now that I got that out of the way, how are you doing, friends? Once again time has escaped me and smalldogarific has temporarily fallen by they way side. Do remember though, I am always here in spirit.

Not only is Mylie Cyrus one of the hottest pop stars around but she’s also a friend to small dogs.
Paris Hilton may be a friend to small dogs, but the LAPD aren’t having it. The heiress, who boasted about her 17 dogs on the the Ellen DeGeneres show, has been forced to send some of her dogs packing after an animal rights group complained.
Not the work of small dogs but, a mail carrier in Pennsylvania was trapped in her mail truck for two hours after a resident’s dogs went all Cujo on her and flattened three of her tires. The dog’s owner thinks the dogs attacked the tires because she recently bought chew toys that look like a tire.

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!!!!!
