The new movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahuas" just opened to mixed reviews, although if you enjoy looking at Chi's on the big screen you'll probably get your money's worth. The most notable thing to mention is the fact that Disney is offering a disclaimer in the closing credits about the need for responsible pet ownership (don't run out and get a chihuahua just because they're cute in the movie) and they even promote adoption. Here's hoping the problems that occurred after the release of "101 Dalmations" (people impulsively purchased pups that later ended up abandoned in shelters) will not be repeated.
The good news for those who have researched the breed and know they really want a Chihuahua - there are wonderful purebreds and mixes waiting for adoption right now! The little guy pictured above is an authentic Beverly Hills Chihuahua, from the "Bill Foundation" awaiting adoption in Beverly Hills, CA. The cutie to the left is available in Seattle through "Ginger's Death Row Dogs" and Petfinder.com. To see all the Chihuahuas waiting for adoption in Seattle, visit the link below:

Giving new meaning to the phrase "man's best friend" a Florida man proved it by engaging in fisticuffs (fistifins?) with a shark in the process of swalllowing his dog! When a Rat terrier named "Jake" was snatched during a daily swim, his owner wasted no time diving in to deliver a sucker punch to the shark, releasing his dog from the jaws of doom. (And you thought you were going the extra mile for your dog by letting him sleep in your bed!) Here's hoping little Jake makes a speedy recovery. Watch the video interview below with the man who suddenly makes us all feel like slackers:
Doris Day was the original House Bunny! While the current release movie "House Bunny" doesn't have a real rabbit (although it has plenty of "hair" via a make-over theme about some cosmetically-challenged sorority sisters), the 1949 flick "My Dream Is Yours" features Doris Day as a life-sized Easter bunnyette in a surreal dream sequence that includes Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird (it looks like the technicolor fantasy of someone who has just eaten too many jelly beans!) The He-rabbit in the scene is played by Jack Carter, a former squeeze and frequent co-star of Day.

From Colorado to Canada and plenty of points in between, the National Park services take Bigfoot sightings pretty seriously by posting warning signs for tourists. Some upcoming events of interest for Bigfoot enthusiasts in October: The Honobia Bigfoot Festival & Conference in Honobia, Oklahoma on October 3-4, and The Texas Bigfoot Conference in Jefferson, TX.
For more info on the conferences and a state-by-state sightings list including a detailed report of a sighting at the Ft. Lewis Army Base in Pierce County, Washington State, visit: bigfootencounters.com/
Armchair enthusiasts can watch the 2006 flick, "Bigfoot Mountain" (originally titled "Devil on the Mountain.") Sneak peek below:
Bugs vs. Blaine?
And the winner is...Bugs Bunny by a hair! (hare?) For those viewers who expended precious life-hours waiting to see the much ballyhooed "Dive of Death" from David Blaine, what they saw instead was a bungled bungee jump that more closely resembled a bad production of Peter Pan. (Blaine probably should have cut and run after dangling upside down for 60 hours without exploding his eyeballs - that was impressive enough!) But if you want to see real daredevil diving, nothing can top two vintage Bugs Bunny cartoons - "High Diving Hare" and "Falling Hare." Even the old "clothesline gag fall" offers more top flight entertainment - Enjoy:
Recent dinosaur discoveries have brought back memories of "Dino" the pet dinosaur from "The Flintstones" cartoon, and the memorable theme song that invited viewers to "have a gay old time." You can read about real pet-sized dinosaurs:

or watch Dino and the gang in a special sing-along-with-the-bouncing-ball. As the song says, you'll have a gay old time!
