THE GREATEST AMERICAN DOG - EPISODE NINE

Woof, everypups. Only one more episode to go as The Greatest American Dog will be chosen next week. The theme for last night's show was loyalty. During the Dog Bone Challenge, the dogs had to sit or stand on a tree stump opposite their humans who were also standing tree stumps. The dogs had to remain in either the sit or stand position but couldn't lie down or leave the stump. It came down to Travis and Presley and Teresa and Leroy. After 17 minutes of watching Presley, who was in obvious discomfort, Travis called him down from the stump, handing the victory to Teresa. Kudos to Travis for putting his dog first. With the next challenge the contestants took turns trying to tempt the dog to come to them instead of listening to their humans and staying in the designated area. Laurie and Andrew received Best In Show as Andrew didn't even glance at the other humans. Presley was the only dog who left the designated area but quickly returned to Travis. After much debate the judges decided that Teresa used fear tactics to frighten Leroy into submission and they were shown the Doggie Door.

SCUBA'S FIRST PICK - RON AND TILLMAN
SCUBA'S SECOND PICK - BILL AND STAR
SCUBA'S THIRD PICK - TRAVIS AND PRESLEY

Holy Puppy Poop!!! Can this show get anymore ridiculous? Testing loyalty with tree stumps? What the hell is that about? And scolding Teresa for her alleged fear tactics with Leroy, now that's a bit much. If those judges want to see fear tactics, they should see Mom react after we've dragged a dead jackrabbit into the house through the doggie door. And what's with the condemning looks from Miss Priss Victoria? She was shooting laser beams from her evil eyes last night. Now I'm not much of a JD fan but I'm glad he snapped back at Miss Priss when she accused him of terrorizing Galaxy. I'd hate to think what she'd say if she came to our house. Mom's always yelling at us, 'Get out of the garbage', Get off of the kitchen table', 'Get the neighbor's cat out of your mouth', and so on. I'm not sure what kind of world Miss Priss lives in but it ain't a dog's world.

KEIKO'S FIRST PICK - BILL AND STAR
KEIKO'S SECOND PICK - TRAVIS AND PRESLEY

Amen to that, Keiko, there is something wrong with that woman. And that whole tree stump thing, well that was just stupid. I wouldn't have sat there for very long but am I loyal to Mom? You bet your best chew bone I am, as are all of us. And we've proven it over the years. And as far as Laurie and Andrew winning the last challenge, that dog just ain't right somehow. Did you pups see him last night when he was place with the other humans? He just kept running to the door and staring at it waiting for Laurie, that's some serious separation anxiety going on there. It just creeped me out. Now we all get excited when Mom comes home but we don't sit and stare at the door all day. If we did that we would get any of our dog stuff done, you know, digging, chewing, drooling.....

NORMAN'S PICK - TRAVIS AND PRESLEY

Separation anxiety my ass, that dog has some deep, emotional problems. He won the challenge because he's been brainwashed by Laurie into thinking that she's LORD OF THE DOGS. But the judges didn't see how he acted earlier so of course they applauded Laurie. It's kind of like the Stockholm Syndrome, which the captive shows loyalty to his captor. Andrew didn't even blink, just kept staring at Laurie. That's not normal dog behavior, maybe he's a space alien or something, but he ain't a real dog.

THE GREATEST AMERICAN DOG - EPISODE TWO

Woof, everypups;
For those who missed last night’s show, Star was viciously attacked by a piece of wire or ferocious feline (you know how cats are) and suffered a cut on her left ear. I was holding my breath as Bill rushed her to the Doggie Doctor where the brave pup was stitched up. Thank dog, she’ll be O.K.
I really enjoyed last night's show. The challenges were very difficult especially ‘The Leave it’ challenge. I would have been all over that steak and I don’t know how Tillman controlled himself. They’re still my pick to win. Elan and Kenji were shown the doggie door and I felt bad for Kenji dealing with Elan screeching at her all the time. And joining us today is our guest TV critic, Duke, who will give us his poop on last night’s show.
SCUBA’S PICK – RON AND TILLMAN


Thanks for having me on Life Inside The Fence, it’s really pawsome to be here. I enjoyed the show and the challenges, though I think they need to include real dog stuff, like digging holes, peeing contests or killing rabbits, you know stuff real American dogs can relate to. But I have to agree with you, Scuba, I didn’t really care for Elan either, she doesn't know how to treat her dog, it’s a wonder that Kenji hasn’t taken a bite out of her. Elan doesn’t deserve to have a dog. And what’s with Beth Joy breaking down and crying like that. Oh my dog! What was that about? Anyway, I’ll agree with you and take Ron and Tillman for the win. We big headed dogs need to stick together.
DUKE’S PICK – RON AND TILLMAN

Oh, I just covered my eyes with my paws when Star was attacked, I just couldn’t watch. And did you see Bill; he was so upset that he was crying. I just love it when humans cry over their dogs, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Star recovered nicely and she and Bill did really well at the last challenge. In fact they were picked Best In Show by the judges, which is totally pawsome. I’m still picking Bill and Star to win.
KEIKO’S PICK – BILL AND STAR


Well, I wouldn’t have thought that anyone could have been more annoying than Brandy but I’ll agree with Scuba and Duke, Elan needed to go. I swear, all of her shrieking at Kenji was hurting my ears. I thought it was great when the judge started mimicking Elan and screeching back at her. I was howling with laughter. But I do have to wonder how Elan got picked for the show. Did they just need to bring in someone that all dogs would hate and maybe drive up the ratings? Anyway, my boys Travis and Presley did really well and won the golden bone, sending JD and Galaxy to the DogHouse. I still think they’re gonna win.
NORMAN’S PICK – TRAVIS AND PRESLEY


Yeah, I think we’re all in agreement that Elan is an evil woman (she must have some feline in her) and needed to go. It’s just a shame that Kenji has to go home with her. Maybe we should go rescue Kenji from the evil creature.
But I just can’t believe Scuba and Duke are picking Ron and Tillman. Tillman just rolled over when Elvis got into him, what a wimp. Now Elvis, there’s my kind of dog, one with an attitude. I’m still pulling for David and Elvis to win. Dogs with attitudes rule, baby!
TOBY’S PICK – DAVID AND ELVIS
