No theme today… just a hodgepodge of random things that I’m enjoying. It seemed fitting to send you into this potentially gorgeous weekend with several random doses of silly:
- As always, we begin with punny pet names: Maya Rudog and Kristen Pig (totally what I would name a potbelly pig if I had one, by the way). This week, they’re inspired by Bridesmaids, which I saw last weekend. Hilarious. (As a result, I also have Wilson Phillips on the brain – in fact, I may have serenaded Bella with Hold On this morning.)
- All of this lovely summer weather has me thinking about days gone by… and these Jim Henson themed cakes are a perfectly sweet accompaniment to my nostalgia. What I wouldn’t give to have my own heckling balcony, like Statler and Waldorf…
- So… have you ever wondered what would happen if the dialogue in classic Peanuts comics was replaced with random tweets? Probably not, but the answer is out there anyway – visit @Peanutweeter to find out. I can’t do the hilarity justice here, but I especially liked this one. (Speaking of Twitter, follow me at @wantmorepuppies and say hi!)
- Additional blast from the past brought to the present: Jem, narrated honey badger style.
- I’m going to indulge my nerd side here for a moment. This blog post on punctuation made me smile… really.
- Animals riding on animals? Sounds like a winner to me. Enjoy a Chihuahua riding a tortoise and then let the cute continue with a baby sea lion riding a turtle. Hmmm… why are turtles and tortoises the preferred method of transportation? Given their lack of speed, you think they’d be hitching a ride instead.
- I have nothing witty to say about this next one, so here you go: cute bunnies jumping.
- This dog wants to swim with the dolphins, and this one wants to hang out with a cow. It’s a crazy and adorable world out there.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the most random of them all? Based on the following video, it’s probably me (at least today). However, I cannot stop laughing when I watch it:

Thanks for being such wonderful readers… if I could, I’d send you all a puppy bouquet. I’m participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure tomorrow – it’s the first time I’m doing it as a runner! Wish me luck, and have a weekend full of wags!
Good luck on your run tomorrow! Hey, that owl is a hoot!
I like random! The video is sooooo funny. Good luck on your run tomorrow, I did Te Race for Life last year here and the atmosphere was fantastic – enjoy! xxx
Good luck on your run tomorrow! I love that video!! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly
Best of luck on your run!
I have to tell you this. I used to have a friend named Billy Pigg (PIGG…not PIG lol), ready for this? His wife's name is KRISTEN. It truly is! I nearly laughed myself silly when I read your post.
xoxoxo
Best of luck on your run, and remember to have fun!
Good luck in the race tomorrow!
I will be laughing about that owl video for a while! At least you wouldn't name a pig Ima Pig. Oh, should I mention that my neighbors are the Hamm boys? I'm going to be pondering alternative names for them all summer!
"don't cha know, things'll change, things'll go your way, if you hooooooooollllldddd on for one more day!" Thanks a heap for that. I know what *I'll* be singing all weekend!
Woof! Woof! Hope the run went well. Happy Weekend. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I'm a little late, but I hope the race went well! Good for you!
And I just reposted Peanutwitter to my fb page! HILARIOUS!
Those owls have the moves! Great video 😀
Good luck in the race!
Waggin at ya,
Roo
I hope your run went really well and you had a blast!
Thanks for the great video and links. JIm Henson themed cakes!! I would so have that at my wedding.
I am officially addicted to the peanutweeter. How in the world did you find that? 🙂
Thanks for all of the good luck wishes, guys! The run went well, although I'm pretty sure even a turtle could beat my time. But I did it! 🙂
Caren – I love it!
houndstooth – The Hamm boys! I guess one could also name a pig Jon Hamm with no modifications needed. 🙂
Kolchak Puggle – You know I love to share the songs that get stuck in my head… =P
Kristine – Those really would make awesome wedding cakes. Makes me wish I'd been more creative!
Erin – Someone randomly sent me the Peanutweeter link… it's genius!
