Cute Doggies Take Over Dog Show

Tonight is the second and final day of competition at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the annual cutesy wutesy exhibition at Madison Square Garden. While dogs like poodles and bull terriers usually win these shows, last year an English Springer Spaniel (i.e. a dog I find cute) won. And last night, a beagle -- a beagle! -- won the Hound Group for the first time since 1939.

While a poodle also advanced, Uno the beagle has an actual shot to win tonight. Let's all root for him, so that we can be disappointed like when that awesome golden retriever didn't win two years ago.

Ex-Nun Hordes Super Fast 'Matrix' Puppydogs

In Mayfair, a former nun was cited with 62 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found, uh, 46 cats and 16 dogs in her home. The woman apparently was taking in any animals she could get and the place was overrun with cute little bundles of fur.

Neighbors told NBC 10 the stench overwhelmed the neighborhood for two years, so they're finally happy everything doesn't smell like shit anymore.

Anyway, while the workers were bringing the dogs out, a few of them escaped, some of them apparently at warp speed, according to the photo above that looks like the poster for The Fugitive. They eventually caught all the dogs in the driveway (called an "alleyway" everywhere but Mayfair).

Also the ex-nun was outside of the house wearing a Phillies t-shirt. Silly. It shoulda been a Michael Vick jersey!

The Hate Stops At The Horse

I realize that there's been a lot of animal hate -- okay, Barbaro hate -- on this site this week, and some of you may have thought my liking of other members of the animal kingdom has been diminished.

Not so. And, so, here are my friend Tim's doggies.
