Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jack, a pair of Yorkies who think they are huskies. Perhaps to save face among the big-dog owners around here, he rescued a goofy 9-year-old Lab named Rusty over the winter. An odd trio, for sure, but they are best friends and a happy pack.

Chase wins gallery photo contest

There's something about a dirty show dog that makes it irresistible, and Chase proved it this week. The dog who spends his workdays strutting around the show ring eked out a narrow victory over one of the happiest pooches ever to appear in the dogshots gallery. Chase, modeling a patch of pine tar, held off Skipper 7-6 in the voting.

Contratulations to the winners and all the others who contributed photos to the gallery.
