Maggie Welcomes Khadafy

A politically incorrect pooch delivered a stream of consciousness protest Saturday as Libyan officials rolled out the red carpet for dictator Moammar Khadafy.

Maggie the dog was out for a walk when she responded to the pomp by taking a pee on the lush rug outside the Libyan Mission - a gesture appreciated by many New Yorkers with little use for the notorious colonel.

"The dog had excellent taste," said Mark Birnbaum, 57, a Mission neighbor who watched the whole thing. "She's a sweetheart."

Aggravated Libyan officials were forced to cut away a section of the carpet that stretched across the E. 48th St. sidewalk from the curbs to the steps.

HALO the POOL PLAYING dog....

Sad but True....

('We believe in sterilizing, not euthanizing,' says Jennifer Panton of United Action for Animals. Group is setting up free neutering 'MASH-style' clinic for pit bulls like Anthony).

THE CITY'S TOUGH economy continues to leave many cash-strapped New Yorkers struggling to care for their pets. Thousands of stray and unwanted cats and dogs are being abandoned at shelters because their owners can't afford to take care of them.

Bertie swallowed nine golf balls

A typical walk with owners Mark and Michelle Jewell turned into a narrow escape from death for Bertie, a pointer cross breed, in northeast England.

From being playful and perky to looking rather ill, the Jewell family realized Bertie was in trouble and rushed him to the Clarendon House Veterinary Surgery center in County Essex, England. A quick physical exam by Dr. John Matthews showed startling abnormalities in his abdomen and X-rays were ordered as Bertie was admitted.

Astonishingly, Bertie had swallowed nine golf balls.

“We were absolutely flabbergasted when we saw Bertie’s X-ray," said veterinarian Emily Nittingale. "His stomach could have easily ruptured from the pressure of the golf balls, which could have been fatal."

Nittingale assisted Matthews in the emergency surgery, which not only removed the nine golf balls, but also a bullet from the fat around Bertie's stomach.

The Jewels were shocked to learn that Berti had been shot at some point in his life.

"He had no wounds from the gun shot injury so we suspect he had been shot a long time ago and no there is no chance he could have swallowed the bullet as it was outside the stomach," Nittingale explained in a reply e-mail to ZT Pet News. "And the fact that the bullet miraculously missed his vital internal organs proves just how lucky this brave little chappie has been.”

Since his July 27 surgery, Bertie has been at home recovering and waiting to have his stitches removed. Relieved that Bertie has made such great progress in healing, the family dog will soon be getting the all-clear from the vets.

DAISY MISSING

The chances of Jessica Simpson finding her 5-year-old maltipoo, Daisy, after it was snatched by a coyote Monday night are slim. But the singer doesn't care.

"Still holding out hope despite the a--holes that say is it a dumb thing to do," the singer wrote on Twitter.

The caramel-colored pooch, who was frequently pictured by Simpson's side, was a gift from ex-husband Nick Lachey.

"Daisy is my baby...why would I stop searching? I'm a mom," she said.

BELLA

Model Elle MacPherson is competing with another model in the family, and no it's not one of her two sons.
Bella, her 5-year-old Labradoodle, will star in a national ad campaign for a new high-fashion label for dogs.
Bella is being promoted as "The Dog's Body" in reference to MacPherson, who was known as "The Body" during her modeling days, reports the London Daily Mail.
Dogside.com, a doggie fashion brand, said that MacPherson was totally hyped on the idea of Bella finding fame.
Though they approached a number of celebrities, she was the first to say yes. Macpherson made the call to grab the deal herself.
Macpherson, 46, who has her own lingerie and cosmetics line, is said to be receiving a serious five-figure payday for letting Bella off her leash and in front of the cameras.
Bella will be modelling coats, scarves, bowls, and, yes, leashes meant to appeal to "today's stylish urban dog."

The Dogs of Barc....

NACHO

DUKE

BARC is located in Houston Texas.

If a dog were the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
