My hounds are stars!
Like any proud mom, I am bragging today about my big sweeties.
Every other month, I get BarK, a national dog magazine, in the mail. And the first thing I do is open to a regular feature titled "Smiling Dogs," a two-page layout of dogs who are grinning for the camera.
Well, in the May-June issue of BarK, in the bottom right hand corner of page 27, there are my babies!
I submitted the photo in February and got an e-mail in April alerting me that my dogs with their cheesy grins had been chosen for the next issue. I will get a complimentary renewal of my subscription, my pooches will get national recognition for their sweet smiles. What a deal!
The issue hits newsstands last week. If you enjoy reading about dogs, and since you are here I guess you do, then you will like this magazine. I read it cover to cover, and would even if I didn't write this blog.
If you have a great picture of your pup showing off his or her pearly whites, e-mail it to smiling@bark.com. And e-mail it to me at pets@roanoke.com. If I can collect enough pictures, the newspaper may run a photo story of happy pooches during the dog days of summer.
Love it, Nona! Thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Great smiles on both dogs even though they had no idea they were about to become famous.
Congratulations ..
