Funniest Picture Ever

Yesterday I found out my blog is featured on a pet blog carnival!

Exciting stuff, right?

So I'm bounding down the stairs to share the news with Max. When I dashed into the living room to share the news, I found him asleep.

I was momentarily disappointed until I took a good look at the way he was sleeping. That is when I took what might be the funniest picture of Max I have ever taken.

The best thing about this picture is the way it looks when you turn it upside-down.

Pretty happy guy!

So, what do you think, is it the funniest picture of Max yet?

The last day of Love Week!

This is it! I did it, an entire week posting every day. So my loyal readers, what do I have for you on this momentous occasion? 

Well my friends, here is a little documentary I filmed on what I imagine it would be like to be chased by a bear. A bear that was then distracted by your small blonde friend and then ate him instead.

Love love love to my readers!

I love - Snow Days!

Not that I had one today. I didn't. But I do love them!

Last time I had a snow day, I curled up in front of the fire with my blankey

and then I got my hair done and watched some tv.

It was a pretty good day.

I love - Rock and Roll!

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby.

I love - celebrity guest stars!

I can't believe I've made it to day 5 of Love Week and am actually still posting!

So, apparently the Westminster Dog Show happened and I was totally unaware. You would think the writer of a dog-blog would pay a little more attention to the goings on of the doggie world, but I guess I had other things to do that day.

So imagine my surprise when I found out from a coworker that history was made when a underdog (HA!) from our own Minneapolis won best in show! Now, I'm no dog show expert, but I have surmised from the way this photo of our lovely Hickory is plastered all over the Westminster website, that best in show is a very big deal. The superbowl of dogs, basically.

Check out all the trophies! Not to mention her excellent posture.

After perusing the website, a thought occurred to me....how have I not entered my dogs in a dog show?

So listen up Westminster Kennel Club! I am officially submitting my lovely pups to the 2012 extravaganza. There are going to be some new bitches in town! (I'm only using that word in reference to how puppy gender is referred to in the dog show biz. Female = Bitch. Male = Dog. Who knew!?)

Love Week Part 3

Today's theme: I love making new friends!

Meet Rufus, the guest star of today's post. He can do some amazing tricks. Check out this one I helped teach him.

Pretty amazing, isn't he? Not the best video, I'll admit, but you get the picture. See, if I didn't love making new friends so much, who would even know he could do that?
