“Sweet Home, Alabama”

Is anyone else absolutely in love with the Bloodhound in the movie “Sweet Home, Alabama”?  We’re watching it tonight for the umpteenth time on USA Network.

Baron, the dog who played Bryant, is SO cute!  I just love the scene where he jumps in the lake and stays under so long you think he’s dead, then he just pops back up like nothing has happened.

For those of you into movie trivia, the first dog to have lived with Andrew was named Bear.  When he died, Andrew named his new dog Bryant, in tribute to the legendary football coach from the University of Alabama.

For more information on Baron and how he was trained to do his scenes, see the review on Aha Film.

Hope you had a safe, restful, and happy holiday today!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Taking Your Dog Out to Dinner

Most of the time, I can’t even afford to take my human children out to dinner, but check out this clip from NBC Nightly News about restaurants that are now encouraging you to bring your dog when you eat out!  Apparently, it’s all the rage in urban and warm-weather cities.

Of course, my dogs are champion counter-surfers, so I can’t imagine we’d be asked back.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
