I know I’ve been remiss with my weekly link roundups lately, so today’s is packed full of linkage to send you smiling into the weekend…
- First up, your punny pet names: Thorin Croakenshield and Bilbo Waggins. (Bonus: Meowly Cyrus and J.R.R. Tolkitten, courtesy of this pun-filled link. I won’t lie – I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not coming up with the latter.)
- Speaking of puns, please enjoy the whole enchihuahua!
- I want to throw a puppy party. I don’t know what the occasion will be, but the theme will (of course) be puppies. Who’s in?
- I have a tendency to declare that something is my spirit animal quite often. Like once a week. Or twice a day. Anyway, I would declare this frog my spirit animal, but I think it would be more appropriate to appoint him my new life coach.
- Take note: this is how you make an entrance.
- Holy cuteness, Batman! It’s a puffin chick! I wonder what they’ll name her. Perhaps Arianna Puffington? Or Hillary Puff? (Note: I decided to Google “Puffington Post” to see if it such a thing existed, and if so, if it was a blog dedicated to puffins. In case you’re wondering, the answers are: yes… and a resounding NO. It’s more likely to appeal to hardcore fans of this movie. I naively did not see that coming.)
- Speaking of baby puffins, apparently they’re actually known as pufflings. Amazing. (From this same link, I also learned that a group of ferrets is called a business, which may be the coolest name for a group of animals ever. It might even edge out a grumble of pugs. I need to think on it.)
Anyway, putting that important debate aside for a moment (stay tuned), it’s time for this week’s video:
I have the urge to script dialogue for this whole thing. What do puffins talk about?
Finally, in case you missed it, here’s what we were up to on the blog this week:
- Judgy cat stare?
- Caption these dogs: guarding the castle
- 7 other things you could do with a puppy brother
That’s all for today, folks. Telling me your favorite word for a group of animals or dreaming up some puffin dialogue in the comments is highly encouraged.
I’m partial to a business of ferrets myself when it comes to favorite names for groups of animals. It actually started out as a busyness of ferrets and morphed into business.

I didn’t know that. A busyness of ferrets works too! 🙂
I used to have a t-shirt decades ago that had a list of tons of animal collective names. A “murder of crows” was always my fave. As for those puffins, they look a little concerned, so they’re probably talking about the economy. Or our lovely mayor here in San Diego.

Those are some serious puffins then!
OMD! My wedding was less fancy than that Puppy Pawty!
Where do I meet people who will invite me to that kind of party?
BTW, we’re big fans of Puffins.
We have a board game that has players put down picture cards that make them think of a word or phrase. You get points when your picture card matches your partner’s. Anyway, the card set has a picture of a puffin. Somehow, every word in the game (justice, happiness, politics, equality etc.) makes both Mike and me think of puffins.
Or maybe we just like looking at puffins. 🙂

Oh, and I almost forgot. I was wondering what the purpose of Vine was. Now that I’ve seen the flying puppy, I know.
Thank you. That short clip alone justifies its existence. 🙂

I totally want that game. Go puffins!
