Last night Professor Dabby graced LIC with his presence at The Creek and The Cave. A local celebrity on Queens TV, Time Warner Cable channel 35, Dabby came by, talked with owner Rebecca Trent, posed for the paparazzi and laughed at the comedy show, Savage Animal. Savage Animal is a free comedy/variety show written and hosted by Pete Isip, Anthony DeVito and Greg Stone; the show features New York's best and brightest comics, improvisers and various other performers from all walks of life. Unlike most stand up or improv shows the audience is the main ingredient; often audience members will find themselves deeply involved in the act itself, at the very least always walking away with fistfuls of free gifts and stomachs full of won alcohol. Each show is based on a suggestion given from the previous show. So, if you write an idea for the next show there's a chance you can see it come to life.

Here are a few videos on YouTube, catch a laugh! (COMING)

You may have heard of the Blue Dog, but what about a pink poodle or a blue mohawked mutt?

My fearless canine companion Molly (a Maltipoo), her mom, and I, checked out the Dognique Spring Dog Festival this weekend. A new trend we are noticing in doggie outings- hair dye.

For the more eccentric pet owners, dog hair dye has become a hot trend in pet grooming that continues to grow in popularity. People really dye their dog's hair. Crazy colors too - pink, blue, orange, purple, whatever.

"Whatever the trends are with humans, they are crossing over to pets," says Tierra Griffiths, APPMA spokeswoman. Pet owners are taking their beloved dogs to grooming parlors where they are not just given a shampoo and cut -- but a full-on, multi-colored fur job. If you are going down this route, you made need the help of the Trimline Collar. Watch the video featuring an experienced groomer in action: Dyeing your dog's hair is a trendy new way to get your pet noticed! Be creative any day or touch up small spots on brown or black coats. But, you have to remember that you can't use people hair dye on your dog. Dogs are not build the same way people are. I mean, they can't even use our shampoo, so there's no reason to you human hair dye on them. However, if you choose to dye your dog's hair, use cool- aid, food coloring, diluted with water (it's easily washed off and does not irritate the skin), or find a pet- safe hair dye and get creative!
