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!

I have been riddled with guilt over my outright neglect of smalldogarific. Two consecutive days of not posting is inexcusable. I hope you can find it in your hearts to keep reading. Until a multi-billion dollar backer comes through and makes this smalldogarific dream a full-time reality, work may occasionally get in the way of expressing my love of small dogs.
Last week, I promised you bigger:

I hope that will suffice for now.
Small dogs may now shed some light into why I can’t stop checking the stove at night. Will children ever stop starving?
Not even Ellen and Portia can save small dogs! The story goes something like this, Ellen and Portia adopted a delectable Brussels Griffon mix named Iggy, but when the pup didn’t get along with their (evil) cat, they allowed Ellen’s hairdresser to take custody of the dog, thus, violating the terms of the adoption agreement with The Mutts and Moms dog adoption agency. The agency were not having it, they sent a representative to the hairdressers home and took little Iggy away, thrusting little Iggy back into the system. “DeGeneres said her hairdresser’s daughters, ages 11 and 12, had bonded with Iggy and were heartbroken when the dog was taken away. ‘Because I did it wrong, those people went and took that dog out of their home, and took it away from those kids,’ a sobbing DeGeneres said on her show.” Ellen, always remember, the dear Lord giveth and the dear Lord taketh away.
An apocalyptic view on dog adoption, very sad, but effective. Please adopt!
