I know I already introduced you to Boo earlier this week, but this pic with him and his big bro Buddy is too cute to pass up. There are so many things to love about it: the head tilt, the tongue, the matching hairdos. So adoro.

Pet Pic of the Day: Manolo at the P-Patch

PetSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:00:19 -0700

You know it's Fall when piccys of pets at the pumpkin patch start showing up in Team galleries! I particularly like this one of Manolo during his first trip to the p-patch. Either he's found the biggest pumpkin he could to take a rest on, or he's just really petite. I happen to think it's the latter. What a cutie!

Congrats to Manolo and pinky5 for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to submit your photos to our Pet Pics group – you may see your furry pals on the pages of PetSugar!

What Do You Know About Pomeranians?

PetSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:30:15 -0700

Last week I had the chance to chat with Greatest American Dog contestant Laura, who shared some tales from time on the show and her deep love for her sweet little purebred Pomeranian, Preston. He is naturally white with creme highlights, but he rocked a pretty in pink mohawk on the show and stole my heart for being a class act. I decided it was high time we all test our knowledge of the Pomeranian breed. What do you know about them?

Greatest American Dog Recap: "Salvador Doggy"

PetSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:59:06 -0700

It was another doozy on Greatest American Dog. With dancing last time and now painting this week . . . how much more can I take? I had the chance to chat with Laura yesterday – and decided to recap the latest episode with some of her comments. She was super sweet so stay tuned for more from her later on.

On last night's show: In the beginning of the episode, Preston still has the black mohawk from the night before which was the "dancing with the dogs" night. We were given the task to paint at about four in the afternoon. We had a lesson and, by the time we could start painting, it was nighttime – California (Agora Hills) at night with short hair, he was chilly. He was so exhausted – you know your dog, you know when they're just not themselves and I just looked into his little eyes glazed over like 'Mama, I'm having fun but I kinda just want to sleep in, I don't really feel like painting.'

On the painting process: We didn't get started until about noon, not because I was lazy. That's why I was really trying to be intricate with the stencils to prepare things for him to do. What the cameras didn't show was halfway through the day, it started raining and we had nothing done. Rather than having him paint in the rain, they didn't show me making stakes in the ground and taking a tarp to put a cover over him so that he wouldn't get wet and he wouldn't be cold. He was just so tired that I tried to make it as fun as I could have.

On her bond with Preston: He represents the bond I wish I had with my mom. I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was six and that's what that whole painting was about and I had explained to the judges and clearly they could care less. It's a dog, a dog doesn't know the difference between a heart and a pretzel, he did the best he could. When he's supposed to paint a picture of the love that we share and doesn't feel like doing it, I'm not going to make him paint any more than he really wants to.

On their performance: I'm doing what my mother would have wanted, if she was in that situation – she said to the people in my family before she died, 'Make sure my daughters do what makes them happy. Make sure they live every day and every moment doing what's best for them. I don't care about money, I don't care about education, I just want my daughters to be happy.' It was so emotional thinking about my mom and this incredible bond I'm so lucky to have with my dog. I felt bad that's why we went home and was disappointed in some of the comments considering it was supposed to be judged on the message and he used like nine different techniques, even though he was exhausted. I know Preston has lots of skills and maybe painting's not one of them and that's fine – I still love him more than anything.

What about her call-out on Beth Joy? Find out when you read more.

On her comments about Beth Joy: People have to realize that for every five sentences that you say on camera, you've probably spoken for about 30 minutes. I really respect Beth Joy and know she loves Bella Starlet more than anything. Her and I are very different in the way that we take care of our dogs and I don't necessarily agree with a lot of the things that she does and I felt really bad that it seemed like I completely threw her under the bus. It was just the fact that her dog has issues with her paws and she finished her painting about four hours earlier than everyone else – we all wondered why she tried to get through so quickly and not try to make it a little more positive and a little bit less stressful for Bella Starlet. Clearly she wasn't going to hurt her it was just like, you know, why are you still here? Really, why did Ron and Tillman go home last week, why were Michael and Ezzie kicked off the first week? We like you but you probably shouldn't be here, your dog's crying.

On the outcome: Travis felt bad. He's probably the most patient person in the house who was really sweet to get to know Beth Joy better than anyone else and did the right thing in defending her. It looks like it was Travis versus me in last night's episode but I happened to be the first one on stage and the judges poked and prodded about what was going on with Preston and I, asking 'well, was any dog overly challenged in your opinion?' and then they take it out of context and make it seem like I just threw it out there and volunteered the information when really my painting had nothing to do with Beth Joy. I think people at home, they know that both of us love our dogs. It's a show, they want it to be dramatic. All of us are friends. Travis and I adore each other. Laurie, Teresa, and I are good friends. We all respect Beth Joy so I hope that the public sees that, at the end of the day, we all tried to do what was best for our dogs.

Zoe David Bowie: Pet of the Week

PetSugar — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:00:56 -0700

When gilfill1 sent me this home video of her cutie pie Pom, it looked like something destined for the pages of GiggleSugar – this pooch will just not let Max the kitty alone!

Turns out lil Zoe (a.k.a. Zoe David Bowie or Zoe Deliah) has always been quite the mischief maker . . . add rug biter and master jumper – she hops instead of running – to her list of talents. Ha!

Congrats on being our Pet of the Week, silly girl. Now stay away from that poor cat!

Memories of Minnie: Sharon Osbourne's Pom Passes

PetSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:30:21 -0700

I'm so saddened to learn that one of Sharon Osbourne's beloved pets, Minnie the Pomeranian, recently passed away. Definitely dog mommy to many a furry face, it's clear that this pooch had a special place in Sharon's heart – and lived a great life:

Minnie hails from the land of Pomerania. She is the most sophisticated of her breed and lives fabulously alongside Sharon. Minnie only travels first class, will only ever drink Fiji water and holidays in the South of France. She enjoys fine dining from the worlds most exclusive restaurants.

Minnie's luxurious lifestyle does not stop there. She sleeps in a custom bed made exclusively by the Beverly Hills Hotel, receives weekly massages and manicure/pedicures and has her own full time personal trainer. Minnie has her own tight group of friends and does not believe in casual acquaintances. She currently resides in London, and frequents Paris for shopping and meals on weekends.

I hate to see anyone lose a pet, especially one so cherished, so I've gathered some pictures of this cute pooch from her public appearances (like with JT!) as well as a couple glamour shots before her hair lightened with age. See them when you read more.
