Meatball crowned Beautiful Bulldog at Iowa pageant.
Dozens of slobbering bulldogs dressed in everything from tuxedos to tutus shuffled onto the blue carpet Monday to show their stuff.
None were a match for Meatball, a brown and white pup crowned the winner of the 31st annual Beautiful Bulldog pageant in downtown Des Moines. Meatball beat out 49 tail-wagging wannabes who came from as far away as South Carolina to compete in the event and serve as the official mascot for the 101st annual Drake Relays track and field event.
Perhaps Meatball will make an appearance at the Fetch Club which is soon to open in New York. Perhaps they can open with a Hero Day to celebrate seeing eye dogs?

Have you ever heard a Brussels Griffon snore? My lovely little Molly sounds like a train.

A Wookiee that snores very loud. If you ever adopt a dog that you want pure love from, this is the breed. They are love. I rescued her. I am so glad that I gave her a home.

Remember, this is the same state that gave us Obama in its 2008 primaries…….
