Nashville Dog Wins Barktoberfest Costume Contest

This year’s Barktoberfest arrived in Nashville, TN with all the usual fanfare – treats, a parade, and of course, the highly anticipated costume contest.

While the competition was hot, this year’s prize went to Rufus for his “Poop Factory” costume.

“It was between Poop Factory and a morkie dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow,” says Seymour Kip, one of the judges. “The Sparrow costume had a lot of details, but come on – it’s a Poop Factory.”

Local Dog Always Stops to Smell the Roses

7-year-old Shiba Inu Fuji knows how to live life to the fullest. Her mantra? Always be sure to stop and smell the roses – or whatever flowers you happen to come across.

“Last year she was running a doggie marathon,” says Harold Stengler, a source familiar with the situation. “She had a shot at winning, but there was this park along the route. She stopped for like 20 minutes to smell all the blooms. That’s just how she is.”

Anti-Dog Shaming Movement Picks Up Steam

Anti-Dog Shaming Movement Picks Up Steam

Earlier this week, The Fluffington Post brought you the story of a brave chihuahua named Savannah who is fighting the popular dog shaming meme by posting “pup positive” images to the web.  Now it seems that her fledgling movement is picking up steam.

Photos of dogs with equally positive messages, like the one above of Elvis, a beagle mix from Morehead, KY, have begun to pop up around the Internet.

“Dog shaming exemplifies everything that is wrong with this great nation,” said Tori Ambrose, a spokesperson for Savannah’s cause. “It is a shameful practice – shameful for the humans involved – and one that can be deeply damaging to a young puppy’s psyche.”

Savannah has started an online petition to collect signatures to stop this practice.
