BFTB Channel & NETWoof News 3/16/2015

Bentley: “Hello friends!  Welcome to this week’s edition of BFTB Channel 7 NETWoof News.  I’m Bentley, your Hound on the Ground sniffing out only the good news stories that will make your day brighter.  What can I say, I’m a dog; it’s what I do.  I’m joined at the news desk by my perky co-anchor, Pierre the Westie.  Our Weather Lab Paisley is scampering around for any last minute storm warnings.”

Pierre: “Top o’ the morning Bentley!  May your treat jar be forever full.  We want to remind everyone to wear something green tomorrow for St. Patrick’s Day.  Nobody wants to be pinched.  Our top story shows how one abandoned dog reacted when he found himself in a pinch.  Hero, as he is now known barked continually at a couple of passersby.  The woman knew the stray and realized he was missing his pregnant companion.  Fortunately,   she was walking with a dog behaviorist who immediately knew the dog was signaling them.  They followed Hero and discovered the mother dog and ten puppies.  Thanks to Hero, they are now living as a family in foster care until the puppies are ready to be adopted.”

Bentley: “It’s always good when the daddy dog takes responsibility.  Hero sounds like a real stand-up dude.  This next story is about another incredible dog.  Smiley is a Golden Retriever who just happens to have been born with a few obstacles.  Not the least of which was being born in a puppy mill, Smiley was also born with a form of dwarfism, bowed back legs, and completely blind.  Did he give up and roll over?  No Sirree Bob!  His human rescued him and they began to work together.  Smiley is now a therapy dog giving his special love to mentally ill and disabled patients in Canada.  People often think he is a puppy due to his small size and very fluffy hair, but Smiley is over ten years old.  Way to be awesome Smiley!  We will return after this commercial break.”

Pierre: “Before we head over to sports, I’d like to ask our readers a question.  Have you ever flown your dog in cargo?  I’m not sure if I should get in my big kennel and hitch a flight to go see my mom.  We are all somewhat nervous at the idea, but we don’t know how else to get me from here to there.  It is too far for us to drive.  We’d really appreciate your comments.  Now turning to sports, we have a fish tale of ginormous proportions.”

Paisley: “Hey guys!  Did someone mention fishin’?  I’m going to be an expert fishing dog when I get a little bit older.  Like in a month, I think…maybe.  Anyway, I should prolly take the story.  Okay, thanks!  A guy named Jeff Corwin reeled in a gargantuan stingray.  This thing was a gigantic 800 pounder!  It took him and his crew a couple of hours to get the whopper landed.  It could be the largest freshwater fish ever caught on a rod & reel.  Enjoy it Jeff, because when I start catching some catfish, your record is history.  Don’t y’all think I can catch an 801 pound catfish?”

Bentley: “You know that we believe you can do anything sweetie.  *wink-wink Let’s look at who we have added in the car as we go BlogPaws Conference Cruising."  *Click to enlarge

 Bentley: "I couldn’t resist myself, I have put Harley’s new little brother Jax in my lap to cruise.  Now, don’t worry he is completely safe and 100% adorable! My sweetie, Emma is helping me puppy sit.  Harley is relaxing in the hot tub with Sugar the Golden Retriever, Bailie, Mort & Tig, Harley & Charlie, Chuy, and Dexter.  We have plenty of room and welcome pets attending the Nashville conference to join us.  Paisley, are you ready to welcome some spring weather this week?”

Paisley: “Yes sir!  We will have a couple of dry days around here, but mid-week a low-pressure system will bring rain through the center of our country.  Ugh, bummer!  Our friends in the west are enjoying warmer than average temperatures and some of them are already hitting the beach!  The east’s snow should be melting, but y’all have to keep your eyes open for flooding dangers.  Remember, you cannot judge the depth of a puddle from the top.  Avoid getting in over your head and turn around, don’t drown.  Thank you very much.  Can I go play now?”

Bentley: “Wait just a minute while we say our good-byes.  Thank you all for trusting us each week as your #1 Hound Dog News.  Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day and stay safe.  In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we leave you with this; ‘May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.’  Y’all be sure to grab yourself some happy.”
