Turn About is Fair Play: Water Cats

As it happens, not all cats hate the water. Here are some sites where you can see — of all things — dog paddling cats. Fat Cat Holly tries to get in shape at 13 years of age, while the anchor tries to curb her giggling. . How old is that in human years? Here’s…

Water Woofs

More shots from Maine. Drippy dogs, swimming dogs, surfing dogs! Wish it had been me.

Life’s a Beach for Bowser…and friends

My family went to Maine — without me — and met a herd of other dogs having an awfully good time. Here are just a few of the dogs they met — did I mention, without me — Brittany, Charlie, Amber, a very golden, Golden and Pilot, an Australian Shepherd.

Pet-Shaming — It’s My Turn

  Remember Sid, from the original Toy Story, a toy’s worst nightmare? In the film, Sid barbecues toys on the grill, straps Buzz Lightyear to a rocket and creates an army of mutant toys including Baby Face, a one-eyed male baby doll head staked on a spider-like body with pincers made from an Erector set.

Happy Dad’s Day, Love, the Dog

It’s Dad’s Day this week and I have a great gift idea. I’m getting my owner dad (with the help of my owner mom) a copy of Like My Dog, a lyrical description of our man/dog bond. You can hear Billy Currington sing it on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY4h1ikePaA including lyrics like these: When I come home,…

Downward Dog and Canine Calisthenics

One of my owners hates exercise. After two battles (so far successful) with a life-threatening illness, she found a personal trainer to help her fend off a recurrence. I wanted to do my share, as you can see. Alas, my attempt to increase the resistance for her ab exercises, was not appreciated. Not as reluctant are…

Rainy Day Dog

I am a happily drip-dry dog, so rain doesn’t dissuade me from outdoor play one day. And, as you can see, I am ecstatic about getting a towel rub.

Frat Dog: The 25 Worst Dogs You Met in College

Buzzfeed has compiled a series of  images, The 25 Worst Dogs You Went to College With, that my owners found very, very funny. You can see them at: http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/the-25-worst-dogs-you-went-to-college-with The images are too highbrow for me; I barely finished puppy kindergarten! Still, I did my best to channel a few frat types. Hope you enjoy them.
