Paws for news...

 Well it’s Viktor – aka Cocoa here.  Yesterday my human went back to work – leaving her mother at home with us canines.  Before my human left, she reminded us that we needed to BEHAVE for her mother – and no roughhousing or stealing things.   Sigh.  It’s hard to behave all the time – and SO not in my nature.  But I’m trying…

Let’s see what’s new in the news…Well the big dog show in the US – Westminster - is coming up in DAYS.  My human even KNOWS some PONs who are going to be there!  We’ll be watching for them on the internet!!  My human has been to see the show twice – and she loved it!  The last time she went was two years ago – and here is a SUPER cool story….

She bought her tickets way ahead of time.  On-line.  What she didn’t know was that on-line ticket holders were entered into a contest.  Three people won. And my human was one of them!  When they called her from NY to tell her she won, she thought it was a joke.  But it wasn’t. And WHAT did she win?  Tickets to a reception for the judges and other kennel club people the night before the show began.  She also got upgraded seats – and BEST of all – tickets to the AFTER-PARTY!  Yup. She got to see Banana Joe up close – and here is a photo to prove it- taken on her iPhone!

All the guests at that party got an AWESOME doggie bag (pun intended) of super canine products from Kiehl’s – like over $100 worth of products!!!!  It was an amazing evening – at least that what she tells us.  Besides the grooming supplies she did bring us back some other good guilt gifts – so we were happy too.

In other dog news, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has been declared a "vulnerable" breed in the U.K!!!  Corgis are being bred less and less and even the QUEEN says she isn’t getting any more Corgis!  It’s really pretty sad.  Some people argue the numbers have gone down because of docking and cropping bans.  Others think numbers have gone down because there aren’t any “celebrities” with Corgis.   Hello?  Isn’t the Queen a celebrity?  I guess because she doesn’t carry them around in her purse, nobody knows she has them.  Which MEANS – that woman in Boston with the wedding party of Corgis – really MIGHT need my assistance.  Still looking for that Corgi costume. 

And SPEAKING OF COSTUMES…Remember the dreaded antlers at Christmas time?  And the Halloween headbands with the pumpkins and skulls, and the New Year stars headbands?  Well. My human went to the Dollar Store yesterday. And just as I feared – the EASTER decorations are out.  She came home with a LARGE bag – and I BELIEVE I could see the tips of what looked like rabbit ears…I told Paxton and he and I have a pact to NOT cooperate for any obligatory photo shoot.  No matter how good the treat bribes.  Frodo on the other hand is not saying much – which you KNOW means he will sit like a statue and behave.  If we could just get that bag of ears while our human is not home…When is Easter anyway?  Oh good.  We have a few weeks…..
