What Happens in Vegas: Horrifying Arson at Puppy Store

I'm a cat person, not a dog person. But I can't imagine the stone black heart it would take to plan to burn down your puppy business, while trying intentionally to burn the puppies! Fortunately the little guys survived. But can you imagine any jury not throwing the book at these two?

Puppies safe and happy after surviving pet shop arson

More than two dozen puppies are safe and happy after firefighters rescued them from a burning pet store. Clark County Animal Control officers moved the puppies to The Animal Foundation following the Jan. 27 fire, at Prince and Princess Pet Boutique. . .which authorities say was arson. They say they have surveillance video of shop owner Gloria Lee, 35, allowing a man identified in an arrest report as Kirk Bills into the building. Authorities say Bills is shown on the video splashing kerosene on the puppy cages. . .

Look, Ma! I Shouldn't Exist!: Hybrid Puppies

And I don't mean they're good for the environment when I say "hybrid." I mean the original definition, the mixing of two gene pools, often pools that don't occur naturally.

People are apparently becoming more interested in "designer doggies," mixing poodles with golden retrievers, and the like. I think it's kind of weird, but there's no denying that some of these combos are very cute.

We once had two female dogs ("bitches" just seems rude), a pit bull terrier and a Labrador retriever; both of which made sweet love down by the fire with a Norwegian elk hound, who really got around. Most of the resultant elk-bull puppies died (their mother crushed them), but the Labrador took care of her elk-bradors, who were very cute but strangely repelled by and attracted to water. They wanted in sooo bad, but then got frightened when they got wet. Labby (that was really her name) took care of her own pups, as well as the elk-bulls.

Now, what I really want to see is a Labrador retriever crossed with a Chihuahua, which would undoubtedly be called a "Lab Rat."
