I have two things to say about this video. First, it is a perfect representation of how I feel about life today. Second, it’s nice to know that Bella isn’t the only one who hasn’t quite mastered that whole catching thing.
This puppy’s still young though. Perhaps he can avoid Bella’s fate.

I know I did not post my usual Friday link post yesterday. It’s been a busy week, which means I’m being a bad blogger. So, please enjoy this video I took at the Super Pet Expo last weekend as an apology of sorts.
The Marvelous Mutts (all rescues!) were on the scene, and they performed some amazing aerial feats for the crowd:
I can’t imagine Bella or Tavish doing this stuff. In particular, Tavish is like a Gremlin and hates to get wet. Do you think your dogs would be into dock diving?
This past weekend, I attended the Super Pet Expo in northern Virginia. I actually ended up going twice. On Friday, I went with a few friends to do some shopping. Then on Sunday, I volunteered at the Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) dog booth.
I’m full of post ideas after this weekend. Today, I thought I’d start by sharing the damage the expo did to my pocketbook. I managed not to buy all the things, but I did buy a few. Prepare for an onslaught of photos…
In spite of the fact that it’s Black & White Sunday, I did consider posting a green photo in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. However, then I remembered that Tavish is a classy guy. He can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in any format.
He calls this one “leprechaun in an old movie”:
See? Just imagine he’s wearing a green collar, and you’re all set.
I hope you have a lovely St. Patrick’s Day! I’ll be volunteering with FOHA at the Super Pet Expo. I bet I’ll still find time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as befitting my Irish heritage – judging those who can’t seem to hold their alcohol. It’s amateur hour out there.

I couldn’t decide which of the two videos below to share with you in honor of Pi Day. (Do you celebrate?)
The first one is short, cute, and kind of about pie (the yummy kind). The second is longer, actually about pi (the non-yummy kind), and features Dog Hamlet (although you have to wait for his appearance).
Rather than choosing one, I’m just giving you both. It’s a little something for everyone, pleasing to every palate. Kind of like pie.
I’m in a musical mood this week. On Sunday, I had the pleasure of seeing Tristan Prettyman and Anya Marina in concert. Are you a fan? You should be. For real. (They each have many fantastic songs, but one treat we got at the live show was the two of them taking the stage together to sing this funny song about Lindsey Lohan. It’s been stuck in my head ever since, along with many of the other tunes.)
My friend M is a fan, and she got me addicted. Now it’s my turn to pass that addiction on to you. Use it wisely.
Anyway, in spite of the fact that we set the clocks forward an hour and I’m still adjusting to the schedule change, I’ve been feeling pretty good this week. (As an aside, I love Daylight Savings time and welcome it with open arms. I wish that we just stayed on DST all year.) I think it’s because I’ve been starting each morning off with fantastic tunes. Music soothes the savage beast, right? I guess it soothes me too.
Although the video below does not contain one of the songs I use to pump myself up in the morning, it’s possible that I do look something like this dog to colleagues who happen to pass by my door in the early morning hours…
If that song is now stuck in your head, I apologize. Go discover some new Tristan and Anya tunes instead. (See, I’m such a pusher!)
She’s waiting for her trip to Oz. Where’s the Technicolor?

Apparently, dogs do not come standard with a snooze button installed. I’m not even sure if that’s an available option in the upgrade package. In any event, if you know how to install an after-market snooze button on my dogs, you might be my hero. I tried to install my own. However, as you can see, the results were not encouraging:
My husband asked why I didn’t just Photoshop the post-it onto Bella’s head… I’m sure Bella would like to ask the same question.
Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.
