My hounds are stars!

Dex%20and%20Coral%20big%20smile%20blog.jpg

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.

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

Congratulations ..
