The
Westminster Kennel Club is having it's annual dog show Feb. 9th through Feb. 10th '09. Tonight the "Scotty" or Scottish Terrier won the Terrier Group-my fav group. The Havanese is my favorite breed as that is what my dog is but once you've owned a Terrier you never can never lose the love of Terriers-the little terrors!

The final judging of "Best In Show" always has a smashing ending so try not to miss it. I have a lot of enduring memories of the dogs who win best in show-they're all gems. One of my favorites was the Bichon Frise who won in 2001. As soon as the dog realized he won best in show he started to raise both front paws and wave them up and down in an excited fashion as if to say "I won! I won!" Everybody was laughing as the dog was so excited to win and get attention.
Who'll win this year?
For those of you who work all day and don't have time to take care of a dog yet really like dogs might consider taking care of a "Virtual Dog" on a new iPhone application called "Touch Pets Dogs."
Here's a great uplifting story of a dog who has to walk upright as a result being born without it's two front legs. This dog is a hero and a comfort to disabled soldiers.
Residents can have at least a 3-Dog-Night in Chicago now, for the time being. A rule that proposed a 5 dog limit isn't popular with residents or veterinarians. It would've forced dog owners to choose which dog(s) to get rid of! Yikes!
Watch that your dogs do not ingest a lot of chocolate candy. Some dogs react very badly to it and have died. Other dogs can get sick after ingesting even small amounts. Giving them one candy here and there won't really harm them but it's best to concentrate on healthy treats.
Here's another Pet Psychic who claims she "talks" with dogs. There are quite a few of these "Dog Whisperers." Some I'm sure are legit and some just want attention.

Because of the ongoing peanut butter scare throughout the country, Petsmart has recalled products it carries that contain peanuts. Fear of Salmonella poisoning if motivating the recall. No dogs have been reported harmed by peanut products as of yet.
