This is just the beginning of our listing doggie Halloween costumes...and here's the first installment!

What does your pooch want to be this Halloween?? You can get this answered by asking your pooch and staring into his/her eyes penetratingly and it'll be clear to you.

Ok, that's a sensationalist title and not fair. Although Mariah does in fact bathe with her pooch it's just very sweet.

If I'm running a bath all of a sudden I'll hear a splash and Jack will have jumped into the tub. It's something that has been happening for ages - it's like, 'It's like Jack is in the tub again, swimming around...His favourite toy is a jet - like the ones you find in pools and hot-tubs. He continually dives under the water and tries to bite the water coming out of the jets.

Oh wow, it really does exist: a website dedicated to Mariah Carey's pooch Jack.

Welcome to the world of Mariah and Jack OBSESSION:

For endless galleries of Jack:

Fortunately for me, I'm obsessed with both dogs, Mariah AND weird & cute Japanese things so I've hit the jackpot!

Mariah appreciates it too:

WOW. I feel like these photos say, "I'm better than you," and that's directed towards me, a human! Amazing what wealth and style can do to a pooch.

This dog is actually SEXY.

Help. Get me out of this design hell I'm in. I just want to roll around in dirt.

For all your fanciful personal and pooch needs, check it out.

Thanks to Cat Savard for this link!

Breaking News! Just in!...from a week ago...

"It looked like my dog's poop," Borland told the newspaper, "but I'm not a dog poop analyst."

Poor pooch.

aaaawwwww...the thought of this is too much cuteness!!!!

Ok, I've gotten a hold of myself, temporarily, and here's the article and excerpts below:

A dog owner has been explaining how his pet chased a rabbit into a pond but then gave it a lift back to the bank.

Mr Marshall, who captured the whole incident on camera, said this is not the first time Chester had tangled with rabbits.

A year ago, she became caught in barbed wire during a chase and was lucky not to lose a leg.

Pooch, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself!!

Well actually an escape from the vet's office but who's doing fact patrol here? No one, right? right?!

Best line of the article: "It [The dog] will face the veterinarian in the morning."

Yikes! That sounds grim...good luck, pooch!

Ok, so this may not look so exciting BUT...imagine a picture of you and your pooch snuggling instead and showing it off on your wrist!!!

Shiba Inus are the best.

Thanks to Megnut for snapping the pooch pic!

Let the best man (or dumb rich girl or her dog) win!!

What we already know but nice to hear over and over again, nonetheless.

Like all the other evacuees, Leo's picture was put on the petfinders.com website, where they post thousands of reports of animals both lost and found....His owners mentioned the bald spot and unique haircut. They said they saved so many people in St. Bernard, but there was one more they wanted to save...Dakota's family saw the Humane Society's report with a picture of the pooch.

"So that haircut saved that dog's life," said Jan McHugh-Smith of the Humane Society.

The pooch will invariably have an unbearable accent and a penchant for mall shopping but it's still worth it!

Please, rescue the poor pooch from Lawn Guyland :-)

Oh, this is good...taking the piss out of government bureacracy AND fighting for equal rights for pooch & people alike! LOL.

Toby became a registered voter when his owner, Peter Rhodes of Queenstown, completed an enrolment form in the dog's name, giving his occupation as "rodent exterminator" and his age as 28.

Rhodes, an aviation safety specialist who said he was making a humorous point about local government bureaucracy, was shocked to receive written confirmation of Toby's enrolment in the Otago electorate on New Zealand's South Island.

Oh, my toes are dying to slip into the Pug Slippers...

Or wait...the pink poodle slips are cute too!

Only I will know the exciting conclusion of this internal battle.

Canine flu fears are scaring people...remember to be calm and do your research before you start screaming and hurting your pooch's eardrums!!

I've never gotten into these...have you or yours???

I feel like they must be like 200% good for you or why go there?? Does anyone know??

Just in from a reader, Stewart Scanlon!!

WatchDog:

Let us know where you think this pooch takes a cold, hard, vigilant stand...Tokyo??? Maybe? Paris?? Milan??

Just in from a reader, Carrie King!! Watch out for her energy and excitement level - you may find yourself puchasing a real life cute and fluffy toy poodle and a virtual pooch on Nintendogs...

You asked for it, you got it...my Nintendogs review...

Nintendogs kicks booty! Plunk down a cool 5 benji's for a little fluffy friend. Then you can pet, feed, train and play with your puppy 'til the sun goes down. You can also give your dog a shower and go for a walk. But watch out...they may leave a little present for you to scoop along the way. This is an amazing game. The puppies are so interactive and very realistic...not to mention ridiculously adorable! Your goal is to train your puppy to perform well in contests so you can make more money and buy a rockin' crib you can fill with more puppies. Does life get any sweeter than that? This game gets my recommendation any day.

I named my apricot toy poodle on the game Cherry. My real Nintendog Daisy goes ballistic if I play with her for too long :)

I have included some some pics of the fun!

Daisy get jealous!

Supercute Cherry:

The Poop Factor:

Check out Abby's photo album!

Cheese!

Yes, I'm aware that the head tilt is extremely cute:

Thanks to her mom Lilith Graves!!

Chelsea Peretti has called our attention to a potential pooch hate crime perpetrated by the Beastie Boys.

Take a listen:

What do you think about these crazy cats??

Mariah's moving to London with Jack, her Jack Russell!

"Mariah loves that Jack Russell so much, it's untrue.

"He goes absolutely everywhere with her - even her yacht in Capri. And as she's coming over for a long period next year she'll be able to get Jack a pet passport."

She's constantly frozen in this expression when with little Jack:

Ok, so, not exactly dog stuff but animals nonetheless!

In this day and age, we've got to rate everything right??!! How does your favorite animal rate??

Of course (eyeroll) dinosaurs are kicking ass...

Pet Simulators - Choose your favorite breed and go for it!

And listen, we need to real scoop around here so let us know if it's all that it's barked up to be!!

Gwyneth Paltrow struggles with the recent loss of her pooch but is comforted by thoughts of him being walked by her dad in heaven.

Please don't leave your pooch in a shelter unless you have to!!

''I thumped her in the head and said, 'shut up,' '' says Dindy. "I had to do something to make her scared and quiet.''

An escape from New Orleans with pooch in tow story.

She has contacted a pet psychic for help.

Excerpts:

She [Pet Pyschic] tells British newspaper the Daily Record: "Louie simply put his nose to the ground, investigated and got lost. He is scared and sorry.

"His owner is a woman who Louie says has been subdued lately because of the turmoil in her life - not just his disappearance. Louie is very concerned for her."

I'd have to agree with the sender of this link - this looks like a doggy oven...NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

What do you think??

Thanks to Chunae for this heads up!

If you were her pooch, would you run away from her? There's a correct answer to this.
