Poor Becon. I'm glad Beacon gets to go home and relax a bit. The dog doesn't listen because she's all verclempt thinking about why she has to wear clothes.

I adore this show and will be sad when it's over.

Beaux, my baby Bichon, and I watched the show as usual. I told Beaux, watch now because someday I want you to do all those things and be the greatest...he looked at me, yawned and promply cuddled up to me and fell asleep. Well, maybe someday but not right now.....we love Bill and Star.

Wasn't it Beacon that stayed in the room and wouldn't follow Brandi out to the main room. I thought he had slippers and some clothes on. I am so confused.

Dogdoc, yes, that was Beacon. Beacon had the pjs and slippers and no self respecting dog would have gone in to join everyone in the living room in that get up. Poor dear.

Some of the dogs seem really burned out by this point.

Thanks Kar. I like the way Bill and Star look at each other. There is real love there.

Bill and Star for the win!

I seem to agree with the judges on this show.

I love Bill and Star and hope they win. Teresa and Leroy were below my radar before this week's episode. I was very impressed with her act of kindness towards Bill by giving him the room key and prize. Glad she made it thru to the next round.

I think it was great the Bill told the judges about Teresa's generousity. You never know, it may help her with them in the future. I kind of wondered if that was why she was not in the bottom 3 this time. And yes, I teared up as well.

When I was younger, we used to put sunglasses on our poodle and bury her in the sand with just her head and sunglasses showing. As long as we were there with her, she absolutely loved it. But, never ever did we put clothes on her.

If I put clothes on my cats, they'd pack their bags and run away from home! I don't even put bells on their collars! :-)

Some dogs get upset when you take their collars off. Other dogs seem to enjoy wearing the kneckerchives that groomers put on. I am not sure why.

I have to admit I used to dress my cat Bonnie up in my doll's clothes when I was very young (and very stupid). They fit her perfectly, and she looked so funny. But yes, I have learned my lesson. I have two completely-unadorned and happy cats now.

I totally dislike the idea of clothing on dogs, with the exception of protecting them in colder climates. What bother's me more are the shoes/booties these gals are putting on their little paws for dress-up purposes only. Don't know why this bugs me so much, it just does. LOL

Big fight tonight between Laura and Beth Joy.

The task was to create a painting. Only the dog could do the work using commands, stencils, etc. Bill repaid Teresa by giving her the Dog room (and leg up) when he won the challenge. The Leg up was help by a professional working with Leroy to create the painting.

Beth Joy pushed Bella Starlet so that the dog cried when using the paws for the painting. Laura actually told the judges that when they criticized her painting. The judges asked her about it. Travis defended her to the judges.

Top Dog in the challenge: Teresa & Leroy
The bottom 3 were: Laura/Preston (rushed, didn't put the work in), JD/Galaxy (jumbled), Laurie/Andrew (poster like).

Going home: Laura & Preston

Next episode: PUPPIES !!!

<sob> Preston was my favorite dog. Bella Starlet was very unhappy to do the painting, but it wasn't Laura's place to mention it. I guess the showmance would have been over anyway since Travis defended Beth Joy.

LOL about the showmance..

Beth Joy is quite irritating,IMO.

Sorry to see Preston go.

Personally, I don't think that was a particularly dog-friendly task anyway. People should do their own craft projects without using their dog as a tool.

Oh I hope Star isn't in bad trouble next week.

hey! someone else wasn't watching the Olympics!
Preston was a really cute dog, but Laura didn't really start the painting until about 2 hours before it was due. What I don't understand is why they are always so hard on JD and Galaxy. Do they just not like him?

I watched the show. I don't think the canvas painting was a fair test of the dogs intelligence. Finding the food was. Bacon and large chunks of meat are not good foods for dogs. I guess they had to have something that smelled good. Cheers for Star who went flying off to get her treat. She knew exactly what to do. I don't think Bella yelped in pain. The paw pads were nothing compared to the lovely smile strap used by another contestant. It was a bad decision to use the pads on a dog who doesn't like his paws touched. I am betting the fight between the judges is staged to show the contestants what they sound like when they argue.

I agree with Mamabatsy....Laura had no place whinning about Bella Starlet...that made her look like a spoiled sport....and perhaps the pads should not have been used on a dog with tender paws but that was Beth Joy's decision.

Mama, I agree! I loved little Preston. And I wanted to see how the chemistry between Laura and Presley played out. I mean come on...they belong together...naming their dogs Presley and Preston? I hated to see Travis throw her under the bus, though.

I actually completely agree with Laura, and I know my opinion might not win me any favours. I did not like Beth Joy putting those ridiculous clothes on her dog, and if Bella was so afraid on having things on her front feet, why did Beth dress her in booties? We've all seen the dog shoes on Bella Starlet. She didn't seem quite so traumatized before, so if she was crying while Beth was forcing her paws in the paint, I don't think it has anything to do with past abuse.

I thought Andrew and Laurie should have gone home. And more than ever now, I do not like Beth Joy.

I've been watching this on line and love the entire concept. I liked Tillman the best but he's gone. I like Star and Bill too. I like the rest of them too.

My dog could have won the food test but probably wouldn't be that interested in painting.

Anyone hear if there will be a season II?
