ME-Wii
February 19, 2007Tired of the monthly bookclub, I know I am… remember: dogs like to play, run around, fetch and retrieve. Sitting around pontificating on the “Unbearable Lightness of Being,” is fun, sometimes, but what about throwing a Wii party, it could really get your blood pumpin… and your dogs… Just be careful with the Wii-mote, it isn’t a great subsititute for a rubber bone.
COSBY’S DANDIE DINMONT
February 13, 2007LATE BREAKING NEWS
According to a couple of news outlets including CNN, Bill Cosby’s dog, a Dandie Dinmont named Ch Hobergays Fineus Fog or Harry for short, is the leader of the pack a Westminster today.
He took BEST OF BREED but was the only Dandie in the show (the only DANDIE at a dog show, impossible). Let’s see how he does with BEST IN SHOW… there are 2,628 entries at the Westminster Dog Show in Madison Square Garden today.
You know what they say about people and their dogs…

Get this dog a sweater and some Jello-Pudding pops… the resemblance is remarkable.
EARLESS AND ABANDONED
February 5, 2007WEASEL THE EARLESS TERRIER
My little dog heart practically broke when I read an article in The Daily Mail, about a terrier born without ears who was abandoned at a police station in Wales at just five weeks old.
Luckily for him, he made it to the local “Dog Trust” rehoming center where he was named Weasel. The article, by Lucy Ballinger, quoted, Beverley Price, manager of Bridgend Dogs Trust, as saying “Despite his obvious disability, Weasel is a fantastic dog. He is happy, friendly and really healthy in every other way.
What makes me sad about this article is how some humans are so obbsessed with perfection and the cuteness machine, that they are willing to sacrafice, happy, healthy dogs to it… something has got to change!
DOG BITES WOMAN IN VAGINA??
February 2, 2007THIS BARK GOES OUT TO: Bill BRasky!
A couple of weeks back I mentioned that I’d write bark-outs to “special” vistors… well, here is one of the first (hopefully of many) to a Mr. Bill BRasky. Not only has mr. BRasky, been a faithful follower of DogonaBlog, since it’s inception, he was kind enough, to post the following…
SHOWDOGS MOMS AND DADS: CRAZY VAGINA LADY
DOGGIE DAILIES
January 29, 2007ALL THE BARK THAT’S FIT TO POST
So, I’ve been away for a while, my best friend was out in Orlando for the PGA Merchandising Conference and I was shipped over to a friend’s house who only has dial-up access… but has a lot of reading material I could paw through, so here’s a few things I picked up over the last couple a days.
SKYBARk
L.A., Vegas and Boston, now doggies that like to drink and best friends who like the nightlife have a place to do it all in style. SKYBARk is the brainchild of Brandon Hochman and Ralph Diaz, the inventors of PETaPOTTY, inside “mini-parks” that help best friends potty train puppies and give us some grass to roll around in when our friends are away.
SKYBARk has a fixed location on top of PETaPOTTY’s headquarters on Santa Fe Avenue in L.A. But SKYBARk parties are popping up across the country, every party is also a charitable event, in fact the inaugural event, which took place in March 2006 raised over $4,000 for “New Leash on Life.” Go to www.skybark.com to learn about events in your area or how to bring SKYBARk to your hometown.
DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW
Just about 8 million dogs wind up in shelters every year and of those about 4 million are “euthanized” (i.e. killed). One of the main reasons we end up in this perdicament is due to “behavioral issues” but whose “behavior issues” is what I ask?
So, I hope that you humans who are considering becoming a pooch’s best friend, know that it’s best to do your research before unleashing what may become one of the most rewarding relationships of your life. If not, read my story, FROM THE STREETS OF NEW YORK and see what happens when a human buys a dog without first considering the amount of time, effort and funds it takes to keep us around.
Get the facts straight before you settle down with a dog. Check out “The Everything Guide to Getting a Dog” by Rosencrans Baldwin, that appeared in the Jan. 15 issue of New York Magazine.
DIFFERENT DOGS NEED DIFFERENT CONDITIONERS
Isle of Dogs has recently launched a new line of personalized dog products— over 16 different shampoos and conditioners. Get your best friend to go to their website and create a profile for you and watch your coat go from dull to pawtastic, in two to three washes. They also have products that detangle, sooth irritated skin and reduce shedding.
TUNE IN SOON:
I will be launching my “Viscious Circle of Unconditional Love” soon… this will include my Manifesto on Unconditional Love, Pictures of pooches that have already joined (to join send your dossier and photo to stichthedog@gmail.com), and a line of THUGS4LUV t-shirts and stuff.
PINTS ARE POPULAR, NOT JUST IN THE UK
January 22, 2007PASS ME A COLD ONE
Check this out, a pet shop owner in the Netherlands has created a beer made of beef extract and malt for her dogs. In an brief released by the AP a couple of hours ago, Terrie Berenden “consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market last week and advertised it as ‘a beer for your best friend.’
‘Kwispel’ is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.”
This isn’t the only company getting in on the “Dog with a Pint” campaign…
Check out “Happy Tail Ale” made right here in the USofA.
Sounds pretty good, but I think I’ll stick with the Champagne!
LABS STILL LEAD THE LIST
January 16, 2007Who read the Times today? Which Times, the one that’s the paper of record people… if you’re in there, then you are somewhere… or so they bark… or so they lead us to believe.

In any case, yesterday the American Kennel Club announced a change in their “10 Most Popular Dog Breeds in the Nation,” and accroding to the Times article written by Anthony Ramirez, “Across the country, the most popular dog last year, as it has been for 16 years in a row, was the Labrador retriever, with about 124,000 registrations, or 14 percent of the club’s total.”
He went on to write that the “big news, the club said, was the No. 2 ranking in both the city and the country: the Yorkshire terrier, overtaking larger breeds like the golden retriever and the German shepherd.”
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FRENCHIES GONE?
So, I went to the American Kennel Club website and checked out their list which is broken down by “Ten Most Popular Breeds in the US:”
1. Labrador Retriever
2. Yorkshire Terrier
3. German Shepherd Dog
4. Golden Retriever
5. Beagle
6. Dachshund
7. Boxer
8. Poodle
9. Shih Tzu
10. Miniature Schnauzer
And then the lists are broken down by city… and although I saw bulldog on the list quite a few times I didn’t comes across FRENCH Bulldog, what up wit dat… French Bulldogs and English Bulldogs are not the same… viva de Resistence!!!
ENGLISH BULLDOG- He’s ruggedly good-looking but eats fish and chips and drinks pints… so I bet his breath stinks…
FRENCH BULLDOG- I’m so interesting to look at that your eyes glaze over, plus, I eat Violet Pastilles and drink Champagne so my breath smells like a spring-time breeze
BUT THEN, I went to the “Complete List of Top Dog Breed in the U.S.” only to discover that French Bulldogs RANK #36… only 36, come opn FRENCHIES, we can do better than that!
