DOGSTER or Mummy and Diddy Have Way Too Much Time
Dogster, to the uninitiated, is a website similar to Friendster or MySpace, except, yes, it's for dogs. A good idea, but, as with any idea, it can sometimes go too far:

Best Tricks:
Sparky knows how to point to the hidden dog treat in your hand, wave "hi", play dead to "bang", sit up, roll over, sneeze on command, speak
Arrival Story:
We traveled to Oregon to adopt him from a breeder. He was only 6 weeks old when we got him. We had originally come to see another dog that the breeder had told us about and we fell in love with Sparky instead. Even though he was a little too young to adopt out, the breeder let us take him home. When I took him out to see what my husband thought of him, he said "he doesn't quite live up to his name, does he?!" He was not very lively until we were on the long ride home. Somehow, he woke up along the way and he's been the life of the party ever since. He holds a special place in our hearts and always will.
Bio:
If you want to put a smile on your face, make sure you visit Sparky's own website at: (Please NOTE: I've tried several times to correct this link in my dogster editor and it won't correct it, so please make sure you take the space out between the ht and ml. The last of the URL address should be .html NOT .ht ml Here's the link--don't forget to make the correction! www.HallelujahBronze.com/sparky.ht ml You can see lots more photos of Sparky The Wonder Dog and his friends on his website. You can see by some of the photos that Sparky gets around. He travels everywhere his Mommy and Daddy go. He goes regularly to Costco (he likes buying in bulk!) and even goes to church on Sunday (he stays and guards the car with Bud Tugly). His Mommy and Daddy are artists who do portraits of horses, dogs and other critters and share them with people worldwide.
YUKI, DOG SUPER MODEL
Nicknames:
I am AMERICA'S NEXT TOP DOG MODEL, and this is my pawtfolio. Watch me shake what my mama gave me when TYRA BARKS and I return for an all-new season. (Check your local listings!)
Quick Bio:
-purebred
Likes:
Strutting my stuff on the 'catwalk,' Ruff Lauren, Dognatella Versace, vintage Roberto Capoochie, and things that smell bad.
Pet-Peeves:
The PawParazzi can be hard on me!! The flashbulbs are insane. Why can't I just be a normal dog? Please go chase Paris Hilton. And her little dog, too.
Favorite Toy:
I am a player. Toys rock. But my talking football, my stuffed boxer, a plastic water bottle, and empty paper towel rolls are great! Oh, yeah... and I am addicted to a laser beam chase like a crack whore on the 30th of the month.
Favorite Food:
As a supermodel, I naturally have an eating disorder, but since my mom's a vegetarian, I like almonds, string cheese, yogurt n 'stuff. Even seeds. PS- But I am a red-blooded carnivore through and through. Gimme jerky!
Favorite Walk:
The catwalk, of course. 50 lbs of size zero (uh huh, that's right) comin' at ya in a 1" collar and a 7' slinky, sexy leather leash.
Best Tricks:
When not looking disinterested in front of the cameras, I like origami, calligraphy, and traditional Japanese tea service. Unfortunately, without opposable thumbs most of my projects are disastrous.
Arrival Story:
My mom drove about 10 hours both ways to get me when I was 8 weeks old. I was sad to leave my brothers and sisters, but glad, too. That box was getting crowded and it was time for me to stretch my puppy legs in the world and become the true dominatrix and SUPER DIVA I was born to be.
Bio:
Beauty may be only skin deep, but I am rotten to the core! Did you ever see the movie "The Bad Seed?" Consider me the 'Rhoda'of the canine kingdom. I am also the reincarnation of an actress named Sylvia Sidney. I love cigarettes and coffee and gum. I only wish I could play poker.

Arrival Story:
I got her as a puppy of 5 weeks of age. She immediately won my heart over. It's been almost 3 years and I love her as much as ever.
Bio:
At 4 months of age, Sterling jumped out of the window of my car and suffered severe injury. She broke her back right leg in 3 places and ripped the brachial plexus in her front left leg. She also had major road rash and some pulmonary bleeding. Her back right leg is now about 1.5 inches shorter than the back left leg (that has beginning signs of hip dysplasia). We had to amputate her front left leg January 2004 b/c she started chewing on her paralyzed foot. She couldn't feel it - she had no idea what she was doing. Now, she is a Therapet....which means she can go to hospitals to visit patients. She gets around very well but gets tired easily and requires frequent breaks. She recently got a wagon to ride in, though so she really likes visiting now.
