Not to judge anybody’s Christmas celebration, but…I notice they waited until after unwrapping a few presents before getting to the big, struggling, whimpering one. You know, the one that was tied shut and had no air ventilation. Okay, I know this is supposed to be a cute, faintly Norman Rockwellian moment, but this would only […]
Every time I see this image, I’m just a little bit disturbed by it. I know dogs pretty well, we occasionally go visit them at the humane society and take them for a walk, have three of them. Never once have I seen them balance their heads quite like this. There’s something missing here…like an […]
The 70s called. They said they could keep their dog. Frankly, it was scaring the big-eyed children, and had put the big-eyed cat off its Tender Vittles. Dog, or fungus? I ask myself that every day, but as it turns out, no, they’re supposed to smell like that. I don’t know that they’re supposed to […]
Springtime! Spring is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to take your poodle for a walk! And by “walk” I mean an awkward stiff-legged gait like the genuinely life-like strut of an Egyptian frieze. And by “poodle” Â I mean a weird beast sculpted out of shaving foam, with a cherry on top. […]
Mmm, filler Friday. We can lower our expectations together. Definitely not breed standard. My aunt raised weiner dogs, most of them had heads. Tiny, cute, endlessly yappy heads. Actually, this seems like an improvement in the breed, except for the yawning hollow cavity. You could put so many things here. A hot dog, a lit […]
Wow, almost three days of spotty or no blog access! On the one hand, I don’t pay much–well, anything–for my web hosting. On the other hand, one totally gets what one pays for. Anyway… Much like the majestic sphinx, this poor fellow’s nose was removed by a French cannonball. That’s where the resemblance ends, because […]
Portrait of a boy and his dog. This is not a healthy boy, and not a healthy dog. If the owner was the centerfold in Skinny White Boy Magazine, he’d get lost in the saddle-stitch binding. And the less said about the dog, the better, they both look a little bit dead. I think […]
I’m not sure what it is, but at least it looks happy. Although there’s a small chance that whatever it is, it eats coins, and I’m not sure that a coinophagous life form is going to do well in the new economy. Quarters are, like, expensive. You can’t just go around feeding random sock-dogs your […]
I don’t know if this is a good dog. I don’t know if it’s a bad dog. I do know that it’s a colorful dog. The totally vacant expression is really par for the course, both for this particular type of artsncrafts and for labrador retrievers in general. This one, however, is unique. We’ll start […]
This makes me feel a sense of undefined, yet pervasive, non-point floating guilt. This is something of a zeroeth-world problem, but I just can’t reconcile this one. Cute little puppy, big, winning eyes, granted he’s got sort of a Gorbachev thing going on with his forehead, but still, a heart-warming little guy. Why would you […]
