I want you to know: despite my appearance at this function, I remain now, and will always be, a small dog.

Mark from Dogs With Cones wrote in yesterday to alert me to some really important small dog news. The Guinness Book of World’s Records has named Ducky, a little Chihuahua, the world’s smallest dog! Weighing in at 1.4 lbs and measuring 4.9 inches tall, Lisa Messier, Ducky’s owner says she paid $5,000 for him (according to USA Today, “based on his current weight, that’s $223.21 an ounce or $1,020.41 an inch.”) “Now, under Messier’s tutelage, he’s taken to wearing a tiny suede jacket with crystals.” More photos please. You should take time to read Lisa’s letter to USA Today, which is a fascinating look into the life and times of Ducky.

This isn’t exactly small dog news, but I feel it is noteworthy nonetheless. 3 baby tigers were rejected by their mother and took a particular liking to a dog that had recently given birth to her own litter of puppies. That photo shows the mother nursing the three tigers and her own pup. Awww.
I’ll drink to that:

What kind of glass was used for that ‘small’ dog? If it’s a shot glass then probably it’s the smallest dog. I wonder what’s in that nursing.jpg photo. I didn’t know Coke has a new non-human model. That’s so cute!

I believe it’s a sewing thimble, that looks about right.
Coke decided to ditch the polar bears, in favor of small dogs.
Best,
