hey hey! tonight was the season finale of greatest american dog over on CBS (i hope it comes back for a second season - for a dog lover it was a great show) i’ve been watching the competition faithfully and in the end cutie pie travis and his boxer dog presley (pictured below) took the title along with a $250,000 cash reward (although i did really like runner-up laurie and her little maltese andrew) i had the pleasure to head downtown earlier this evening with my dog candy to a party held at pussy and pooch (the hottest pet spot in downtown los angeles) to celebrate the finale and winners travis & presley! although i did have a lot of fun my dog was more nervous than i had ever seen her (at one point a news van opened and she wanted to jump inside…she was totally looking for a quick escape by any means) but thankfully before i had to take off i got to snap a few pictures - including one with ms. candy (looking like a nervous wreck) and preston (hands down the cutest dog on the show - we have matching mohawks) and his very lovely owner laura (who is totally gorgeous in person - she needs to get with travis…they’d make a stunning couple!) many thanks go out to popbytes’ pals shannon and karen for helping a blog out tonight - you both rock! popbytes over & out for tonight…xoxo

DOZENS of paw-parazzi descended on Stafford County yesterday, eager to capture three of this season’s stars of what some local viewers called a doggone good family show.

Andrew reveled in the high-pitched screams.

Leroy twisted off his necktie to bask in the spotlight.

And Preston paraded through the crowd, charming onlookers as only a true Casanova can.

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!

Here’s what you need to know about last night’s episode:

• Travis and Laura are “getting to know each other.” They love each other’s dogs. And, I’m just guessing here, they also kinda like how each other looks in swimwear while swimming with those dogs. They both seem sane, so I’m still in favor of the match. You?
