It’s the last No Frown Friday of 2011… let’s jump right in, shall we?
- Your final punny pet names of 2011 are a nod to a rockin’ New Year’s Eve… Dick Bark and Ryan Fleacreast.
- I want this Gizmo cake. A lot.
- Since we’re strolling down Memory Lane yet again, enjoy this collection of ’90s heartthrobs. (I was a Jonathan Brandis girl myself… I wept salty SeaQuest tears when I heard he passed away a few years ago. On a related note, now I want to write a parody called FleaQuest DSV.)
- You know I’m all about all-dog productions, including The Wizard of Oz. Thus, I want to get the pawtograph of these two munchkins.
- I bet that most pet lovers can relate to this graph.
- It’s no Ham Skillet, but I enjoyed this story about a dog named L.L. Bean.
- Speaking of adorable adoptables, did you read yesterday’s interview with my favorite shelter pet photographer?
- At this time of year, thoughts naturally turn to New Year’s resolutions. I don’t generally make any, but part of me wants to resolve to enjoy life as much as this cat does.
- Maybe you’re just resolving to work out more? I think this cat would make a good trainer.
- This year, I want to do some more decorating around the house. Perhaps I can take some inspiration from these adorable pets in designer rooms.
- Ever wonder if dogs make New Year’s resolutions? Cleo from Grouchy Puppy makes a pretty convincing case against them.
Whatever challenges you may face in the new year, I have four words of advice…
Be like this puppy.
(via Life With Dogs)
Slay those challenges like a puppy slays a stuffed dragon. You can do it.
I wasn't a Marky Mark fan back in the day, but Man oh man, do I ♥ him now. I was really more of a NKOTB fan.
What a cute puppy!!!
It makes me glad i'm above puppies on the food chain.
I need to get in touch with my Martha Stewart side and do more decorating around the house as well! My walls are always so bland and boring (maybe because I like things unnaturally clean looking lol) besides the 5+ doggy balls strewn about the floors of my 700 square foot apartment 🙂
Ryan Fleacrest! LMAO! That's awesome AJ!
Loved the puppy. He's fierce isn't he?
Happy New Year to you and Bella.
"Dick Bark" and "Ryan Fleacrest!!"
HILARIOUS!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A very cute puppy!
Mmmmm. Marky Mark in the underwear ads… Oh, did I say that out loud?
Happy New Year to you & Bella!
Hey, Happy New Year!
Was it my imagination, or was Leonardo on that list, twice? *sigh* Nice list!
I love the Wizard of Oz thing! I wonder how mad people would get if I made up a favorite Wizard of Oz character assignment for the DDC…
That poor fat cat! *feels ashamed for laughing* What was with that music?
I was just reading on a message board this week about a woman who had to get a new, adult German Shepherd right away because "my house is done in German Shepherd decor" and her other dog had just passed away! She needed a serious dose of those pictures!
Happy New Year to you and Bella!
A designer friend of mine points out how rooms in decorating magazines don't really work without the big vase of flowers to tie it all together. It looks like dogs are the new flowers. 🙂
Great links. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2012.
Happy New Year!
it's new year's day here. in fact more than 1/2 of it is gone!
stopping by to wish you a wonderful year ahead. i wish i had more time to follow some your links and vids. the ones i've clicked always make me smile. but …that's life and i appear to be quite a bad time manager lol.
hugs to you and Bella 🙂 x
I was too old for Jonathan Brandis, I'm more of a Jon Bon Jovi type gal.
And boy that puppy is tenacious, I sure hope I meet any challenges 2012 decides to throw at me, just like that little guy.
Happy New Year!
Ha! That little guy was very determined! 🙂
Happy New Year to you! 😀
Waggin at ya,
Roo
I finally just watched The Wizard of Dogs. Loved!!! So sharing this one!
Kolchak – I maaaaay have gone to see NKOTB when they first started touring again a few years ago…
K9 Katastrophie – Love him!
Jan – Ditto!
Stacy – Dog toys count as decorations, right?
Mel – That puppy is my new hero.
Caren – You too!
An English Shepherd – I agree!
Karen – I have a mild Mark Wahlberg obsession. I blame those "say hello to your mother for me" skits on SNL.
Talking Dogs – Thanks, you too!
houndstooth – I'd be so into that Wizard of Oz challenge for the DDC!
Pamela – Good point! Although I suppose there's nothing wrong with having both dogs and flowers. 🙂
georgia little pea – I totally understand. I've been the worst at managing my time during the holidays, honestly. Now I just need to catch up with things!
jodistone – I'm a big Bon Jovi fan too! He never goes out of style, in my opinion. 🙂
Roo – I wish I could have his determination!
Mel – The dogs dressed as munchkins make me smile every time!
That puppy sure knows what he's doing!
Just found your blog and wanted to say hi!
Your newest followers,
Miley and Maggie
Love LOVE Ryan Fleacrest!! 🙂 Love the L.L. Bean story, too! Wonder whether there are any Orvis dogs out there?
The kitty in the car is panting; I know this because when I was little I had a cat who loved to ride (loose) in our car (and he did often). He panted every time he was in there – but he LOVED those car rides! I miss him!
Miley and Maggie – Nice to meet you! 🙂
Elizabeth – So cute that your cat used to do that too! 🙂
