The Top doggie news today is the release of Beverly Hills Chihuahua which seems to be making a smash at the box office. I might go see this at the cheap theatre in a couple of weeks,but no one in my family is excited enough to pay premium movie prices for it. It looks cute.
In other show biz/doggie news, Nick at Nite hosted their first annual Fido Awards yesterday with a bulldog named Gabe winning the day with such remarkable tricks as toilet flushing and skate boarding. Buddy, the German Shepherd to dialed 911 when his owner had a seizure just a few months ago was given the Hero Award.
A golden retriever named Pepper found his way home this weekend after travelling 400 miles from Atlanta Georgia to St Petersburg (Virginia??) where he was taken in by some folks at a travel agency, vetted and scanned and his microchip discovered. He's been gone since Christmas.
It reminds me of a dog named Chile who we discovered in our back yard when we moved into our new house two years ago. Once we'd calmed him down enough so that we could handle him, we walked him to the vet 3 miles away because there was no getting him in the car. Sure enough, he was microchipped and his family was ecstatic and so was he! He'd been missing three months and had travelled over 50 miles.
The moral of this story, folks: Have your dogs microchipped!
