Dogfight!

So, with all this Michael Vick stuff, I figured why should the rich and famous be the only ones profiting from dog fights? I mean, we have dogs. All we need are fights! I set up some tentative bouts with the reigning champs in the Ultimate Yorkie Fighting Competition:


Bowtie Brown: Cute but deadly.




The Pianist: Suspended for using piano wire in a competition in 1998.




The Kid: A prodigy...at killing!







Crazy Eyes Carter: Eats his own poo.



Now, with the opponents set, I just needed to get our dogs riled up...

The doggie brush didn't seem to bother them.







Neither did the threat of a bath.




A cat sighting intrigued them.




Bingo!



Next, some training [Cue "Eye of the Tiger"]:


They wanted nothing to do with the medicine ball.


And the weights were apparently delicious.





Minnie did surprisingly well at the agility training.




Then, some sparring:






And some serious work on the squeaky toys.






Finally, they developed their "fight faces":





Or not.






Oh geez.



Who am I kidding? These dogs are lovers, not fighters. We might not get rich, but we'll always have clean faces.
