Mozart, Salma Hayek's dog

Salma Hayek says her beloved pet dog was fatally shot on her ranch, and authorities are looking for suspects.

Mozart, a 9-year-old dog who the actress "personally delivered out of his mother's womb," was found dead on the "Frida" star's ranch last Friday with a bullet near his heart, Hayek wrote on her Instagram page.

"I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone," Hayek wrote. "He loved his territory and never strayed away...he was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn't deserve a slow and painful death."

(before anybody says anything about me posting about a celebrity's dog, need I remind you of the oh so respectful title of the thread, "Dropping Like Flies")

^ agreed - to me, these kind of stories are more painful than most things i see or hear in the news.
   
   ...and dog commercials can really mess me up.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt

His early 90s recording of the Beethoven symphonies with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe is fantastic and well worth your time.

Funny.  You're pretty quick because that was up there for all of 30 seconds.

My bad.
