Gaux Ahead. Say, “Yay Margaux!” To The Ball Game. Ta Bring yo Take Me Out
g your dogs, have some fun with vendors, contests and a baseball game.
Meet Margaux, a standard Poodle who became critically ill at the age of eight. Her doctors didn’t think she would live to see her ninth birthday. She lived a full happy life with her two humans, four Poodle siblings and a cat until she was 13. The children’s book, Waggy Tail One: Yay Margaux unveiled late last year on what would have been Margaux’s 14th birthday. No challenge or hurdle
was too large for Margaux, “the most resilient and hap- piest Poodle you will ever meet.” Faced with challenges

Public Service Announcement. Dog lovers, do not watch “Wiener-Dog” a film by Todd Solondz. His previous movies are about a pedophile and a painfully awkward junior high misfit. “This Todd Solondz tale of a Dachshund and the humans who neg- lect him is the same meal of misery the filmmaker has been dishing out for years,” wrote Peter Travers for Rolling Stone Magazine. If you need any more
