"The APDT held its 20th annual conference and trade show in Hartford, CT." |
Bentley: “Welcome to BFTB Channel 7
NETWoof News. We deliver the happiest
dog news while still keeping you informed.
Today’s top story is the recent APDT ~ Association of Professional Dog
Trainers 20th Annual Conference and Trade Show. There were 900 training professionals and pet
care specialists from twelve countries in attendance. They offered educational classes and
skill-building opportunities. Many of our pet’s favorite brands were represented with the newest products available. We hope to participate next year when the
conference will be held in Dallas. It looked like a great time. Another great time happens later this week. Halloween in all its fun is Friday. Pets
should be prepared to wear silly costumes and pose for many photos. We recommend that our fellow dogs stay on
alert for zombies, monsters, vampires, and cartoon characters. These creatures will approach your door screaming
and ringing your doorbell. Your humans are
forced to give them candy before they will leave. It is best to stay inside on your comfy bed
where you are safe.”
Pierre:
“Boo—tifully said and it reminds me to remind our audience of
the Spooktacular Halloween Blog Hop that we are co-hosting with Truffles from
Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries, and Meows and Oz from Oz the Terrier. All the cool blogs will be there to link
their Halloween posts, contests, and parties.
I am sure Dory will link up with us.
In case you’re wondering who this reporter will be escorting to Dory’s
big Halloween Bash; it’s Bailie! Bentley,
aren’t you bringing her sister?”
Bentley: “I hate to brag, but I will
have the lovely Emma from MyGBGVLife on my arm.
Wait until you see us dance! Now,
back to our other news. Hundreds descended
on Tompkins Square Park in N.Y.C.’s East Village for what has been called the
biggest Halloween Dog Costume Party in the world. Reports of dogs dressed as “Crazy Eyes” from
Orange is the New Black, the Woof of Wall St., a pope dog, and a couple of Teddy
Roosevelts. The winner was Baxter,
Gianna, and Giupetto who portrayed elaborate “Titanic” costumes.”
Pierre:
“To see the photo of the winning dog, just click here. You can also share your own costumed pet on
social media using the hashtag #AOLPetPics and tag @AOL for a chance to be
featured on their website. Of course, we
have a number of stories that do not involve Halloween. This one makes me feel better about
humans. A hunter was marching through a
field in Saskatchewan, Canada in hopes of finding some big game animals. What he stumbled upon instead was a box with
20 puppies abandoned and left to die. He
peeled off some of his clothing and wrapped the puppies up. He made a makeshift bed in the back of his
truck and drove them to Battleford Humane Society.”
Bentley: “That was really heroic of
the hunter. We give high paws to him and
the Humane Society that accepted all of the puppies even though they were
almost at capacity. The pups were
covered in lice and fleas, but were immediately bathed and treated. They are all expected to make a full recovery
and be ready for adoption. Battleford
Humane Society does accept donations and with the influx of pups are in
desperate need. Some of the awesome
pilots from Pilots ‘N Paws have offered to fly the pups to other shelters if
needed.”
Pierre:
“After last week’s report on the cat receiving a blood
transfusion from a dog, here is a terrific story of the friendship that can
develop between cats and dogs. According
to a YouTube video uploaded by Nat Geo Wild, Tervel is a blind and partially
deaf chocolate lab. Abused by his
previous owner, he stayed pretty immobile in his new owner’s home. However, that was before Pudditat claimed the
family for her own and Tervel as her best friend. The cat doesn’t like other cats, but she
loves her dog so much that she has become his Seeing Eye cat. Their pet mom believes that Puttitat knew
Tervel was blind and needed her help.
They travel around the home and yard with his nose following her
tail. Isn’t that nice?”

"Be sure to follow our big sporting debut in the Hammer Throw at the Highland Games." |
Bentley: “Cats can be real
cool. There will be some cats taking part
in the Hammer Throw at Kyla’s Highland Games.
It is a grand celebration with a variety of sporting events. You can see behind us, Pierre, and me in our
kilts with the hammers we will be throwing.
Visit Susie and Sidebite for the list of activities. Do you have this week’s weather?”
Pierre:
“There will be rain and snow here in the U.S. with lows in the
upper 20’s in North Dakota and the upper 60’s in Florida. The forecast for Friday is a ghost-to-ghost ghoul
front with low flying witches. Hee Hee,
that’s some meteorological Halloween humor.”
Bentley: “Nothing funnier than a
meteorologist. We are signing off with a
U.S. reminder for those of us who participate in Daylight Savings Time. We have to set out clocks back one hour
before bedtime on Saturday night. For Pierre
and myself, have a great week, a safe Halloween, and come back to see us for
some great stories. Be sure to grab some
happy.”

Hmmm Dallas you say? Wonder if I'd be able to make that... and phew! You scared me for a minute. I misread that and thought it said this past Saturday was DST lol... not that it probably would have made much difference since all the clocks seems to do that by themselves these days.

Great news cast again. Pretty cool about the cat getting dog blood. I just found out yesterday my bosses dog got a human albumin transplant to get her dogs albumin back up because the dog transfusion wasn't working. She is doing good now.
