BFTB NETWoof News

Bentley: “Happy Labor Day to our friends that are celebrating today! Welcome to BFTB NETWoof News where we have a nose for news. I am joined at the anchor desk by my partner Pierre Westie and Paisley, our BFTB Weather Lab. What’s today’s top story, Pierre?”

Pierre: “We want to remind everyone to keep an eye on their pets during today’s activities. Curiosity could lead to a burnt snout or paws around the grill. I mean, who can resist a sizzling hot burger or steak? Not this dog! Make sure that you keep the alcoholic beverages out of our reach too. I’m not ashamed to admit that I will try to take a sip of unguarded wine. #NotProud We want our humans to stay vigilant on the flea and tick preventatives.

Bentley: “Those are all very important reminders. This next story could be filed under one of our most bizarre for the year. Authorities in Chile have taken a two-year child into protective custody after a neighbor noticed it suckling from her pregnant dog. The baby had been abandoned and was discovered with the dog at a mechanic’s workshop about 1,200 miles north of the capital city of Santiago.”

Pierre: “Wow, I don’t even have a witty comeback for that story. On a happier note, Blogville is hosting a Sadie Hawkins Dance with Dory. That is when the girls ask the boys to the dance. This is one reporter that is hoping he gets an invite. What about you, Bentley? Are you hoping ‘you-know-who’ will ask you to accompany her? Hee, hee, hee.”

Bentley: “Pierre! Geez, you really know how to embarrass a guy. I do want everyone to make our Halloween Hop down on their calendars for October 31^st. We will have more details later, but I know there will be prizes!”

Pierre: “I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I didn’t think that you’d be so sheepish about it.”

Bentley: “Funny that you should mention sheepish. We have a report about Chris the Elusive Sheep. It seems that he hid each time it was a shearing season. The result was 89 extra pounds of wool on his body! He was sheared under anesthesia due to the massive amount that had to be removed. At the end of the process, there was enough wool to make 30 sweaters. We are happy to report that the much thinner Chris is waiting on a new home.”

Paisley: “Hiya guys! That poor sheep must have felt baaaah-d! Haha! Is it time for the weather yet? I think there is finally some good news in the forecast!”

Pierre: “You are right on time, Paisley. We will have sports next week after we get the results of various competitions being held this holiday weekend. The BFTB team will be at the Weiner Dog Races today at our local horse track. I wish our friends Frankie & Ernie were racing, but I’m sure there will be a great group.”

Paisley: “I can tell you that the weather is going to cooperate with us here in the south. We will have rain later in the week because it is actually going to bring a cool front to us. The Seattle area will have some rain as will the middle section of our country. The majority of the states will have beautiful weather with a cooling trend later this week. Happy Labor Day!”

Bentley: “Thanks, Paisley. I know the cooler temps are a welcomed relief around here. We wish all of you a wonderful week. Please come back and visit with us each day. If it’d be easier, just add us to your email or follow us on Bloglovin’. (See upper right sidebar) We want to wish our friend Oz the Terrier a very happy 11th birthday! If you drop by and leave a birthday wish, his mom will donate $1 to their local rescue! That is a super way to give back! Until next week’s news, y’all stay safe and don’t forget to grab yourself some happy!”

Pierre: “STOP! I interrupt this program with a special news bulletin! We have our three lucky winners of Dr. Harvey’s Power Patties!

Congratulations to:

Cathy A.

Brittany P.

Lauren M.

We will be in touch to get your drool-worthy treats on their way!
