Soaking up the sun

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m currently obsessed with photos of the two pups hanging out together. I can’t get enough.

I’ll take two cats, over easy…

Posted on by

It seems like a good day for a feline No Frown Friday.

  1. First up, your punny pet names: Ron Furgandy and Veronica Corningsbone. (Bonus: punny Halloween costumes!)
  2. Did you know that looking of photos of baby animals can make you more productive? Science said so! (Cats are also pretty productive… and adorable.)
  3. I bet watching a video of a cat and dog cuddling will result in record-high productivity.
  4. A cat and a box are a guaranteed recipe for success. I think some treats would be the appropriate reward.
  5. Are you up on your cat breeds? Here’s a handy (and silly) study guide.
  6. Maybe I should get a cat to give me advice about important things like whether to wear glasses or contacts. These dogs are no help.
  7. I don’t intend to weigh in regarding whether cats or dogs are more intelligent, but I do want to state that this video is funny.

Finally, I think could watch today’s video selection for hours. It’s just so… Zen:

Happy Friday!

Put a meerkat on it

Posted on by

It’s Friday once again… time for your weekly linkage!

  1. Your punny pet name: Wil Fleaton.
  2. Speaking of Wesley Crusher, here’s yet another reason to love Wil Wheaton.
  3. I may be wrong, but this video has convinced me that hedgehogs should start doing Dos Equis commercials.
  4. This chameleon is a neat freak after my own heart.
  5. Maybe put a cat on it will be the new put a bird on it… or maybe put a cat in it?
  6. I wish that Birdwalk Empire was a real show. (However, I would suggest naming the main character Ducky Thompson instead of Nucky Ducky Thompson, but that’s just me. Yes, these are the things I think about. Also, I’m beginning to think that my love of puns began with Sesame Street.)
  7. Goats on a seesaw! Enough said.
  8. I’m just going to say it. These baby meerkats complete me.

This meerkat is so me. And so Bella. And Tavish. Heck, this meerkat is all of us.

Am I right?

Also, any other baseball fans out there? I’ll be settling in to watch the Braves game tonight. My fingers are crossed that they win the Wild Card playoff game!

Today, I thought I’d share a few more shots from Barktoberfest. Below, you’ll find a few adoptable pups from FOHA as well as a few of the other dogs in attendance.

Also, that last shot is begging for a creative caption – tell me yours!

It’s raining on my face: Pilots ‘N Paws

Posted on by

Three local rescue groups in the northern Virginia area (including HART and FOHA, who you may remember from such awesome dogs as Bella and Tavish) participated in a massive Pilots ‘N Paws event on Saturday.  The event was called the “Dog is My Copilot” Rescue Flyaway, and it helped save over 300 dogs.

As part of this flyaway event, more than one hundred dogs were brought from high-kill shelters in North Carolina to groups in northern Virginia. The dogs have now been placed in foster homes and shelters with no-kill pledges. Pretty cool, huh?

I have a special video to share with you today – it’s from the Asheville Humane Society, one of the groups in North Carolina helping to send these lucky pups on their way to northern Virginia and other destinations. (Insert obligatory tissue warning here.)

Is it raining on your face too?  It just so happens to be a pretty soggy day here, so perhaps everyone will just think I was outside too long.
