I call it “He Ain’t Heavy” — Greatest American Dog!

I will explain the title in just a second, but I am sooo sad that Laura and Preston were booted tonight!  I think Wendy Diamond wanted her off because she was jealous that they were cuter and got more attention.  I am not even going to start on Wendy…I am trying to be nice these days :-).

Okay so back to the title.  The challenge was to do a painting with your dog that represented your relationship.  For one, I find that to be a crazy challenge.  Dogs were not meant to paint.  And if the judges have such a problem with the dogs wearing clothes, why do they not mind strapping sponges and rollers  to the dog and covering them in paint (although it was completely safe)?  Well, some were good and some were sloppy and our favorite team was ousted.  Whatever…that dog is hilarious and way too cute for the show.  So is his mom.  We wish them the best and invite them to come chat with us anytime!

So Beth Joy and Bella Starlet remain.  Thanks in part to Travis.  While I get that he is a good guy, I think we all wanted him to ride off into the sunset with Laura.  If I was Laura I would ride my own horse.  He didn’t back her at all and actually came to the defense of Beth Joy.  I could give you more details, but why not watch it yourself.  You can view it here.  Maybe he can redeem himself in her eyes…I guess only time and tabloids will tell!

If there’s a saving grace to Greatest American Dog, it’s the dogs themselves. They are charmers that steal the show and warm even the most cynical critic’s heart.

The inside scoop? Tillman, the bulldog, really is a farter. And Preston, the white Pomeranian with the red stripe on his head, is a moocher whose stare can instantly hypnotize you into gladly giving up any piece of food in your hand.

The premiere of Greatest American Dog  was a bigger hit than even CBS hoped it would be.  Not only did humans love it, but their masters….errrr pets….seemed to love it too. 

The premiere on Thursday night did something that very few shows do, it won its’ time slot blowing away the competition on all the other networks.

Because of the success it saw CBS has decided to rebroadcast the premiere episode on Saturday, July 12th, so that everyone who may have missed it (like myself) and want to see it can catch it before the next great episode airs next Thursday, July 17.
