Catch!

Posted on by

I may have mentioned that Bella does not understand the concept of how to catch a toy.  She always tries to use her paws instead of catching it in her mouth.  My working theory is that she skipped a lot of days in Being a Dog 101.  However, perhaps I wasn’t giving her enough credit – the Beagle in the video below has taking catching with his paws to a whole new level. 

Maybe I just didn’t nurture Bella’s talents… with a little work, perhaps Bella could have been quite the little athlete.

(If you just can’t get enough of this adorable breed, go test your Beagle knowledge with this quiz.)

Mother’s Day

As I mentioned last year, Mother’s Day is somewhat bittersweet for me.  However, I wanted to take a moment to wish a very happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful moms out there and send a big hug to all of those who are missing their moms today.  My gift to you?  A Bella photo, of course!

Busy week, but I didn’t want you to think I forgot about you… I saw this comic today and it cracked me up.  I think Bella’s head really would explode if this were to happen.  As I was driving Bella to the vet this weekend, it occurred to me that, like the Simple Dog over at Hyperbole and a Half, Bella does not process the world well – sensory overload is always just around the corner.  A mailcat delivering squirrels would probably push her over the edge.  Though I suppose it would push me over the edge too… so let’s just hope the scene above never happens in real life.  It would be like that Futurama episode where we learn why the cats really put up with us.  I, for one, welcome our new feline overlords.

Finding Waldo

Posted on by

The following video is thought-provoking.


(via Best Week Ever)

The thoughts that it provoked:

  • All bookshelves should come with a sleeping kitten.
  • Okay, maybe not all bookshelves, but I’d prefer to have the option.
  • If IKEA offered this option, I bet it would have some weird name like “Scratchunsnift.”
  • His name is Waldo.  I cannot think of a more perfect kitten name.
  • I mean, seriously.  “Hey honey, where’s Waldo?”  The hilarity is built right in.
  • If I had a cat named Waldo, he’d definitely need a red and white striped sweater to wear on occasion.
  • Can someone remake this video while said kitten is in fact wearing a red and white striped sweater?
  • I wonder if Bella would be willing to wear a red and white striped sweater like Waldo’s dog Woof?
  • She barely tolerates clothes as it is, so probably not.
  • You’d think Waldo wouldn’t be so hard to find given his distinctive clothing choice.
  • Who is harder to find: Waldo or Carmen Sandiego?
  • That Carmen Sandiego theme song sure was catchy.  Wonder what happened to Rockapella?
  • Apparently they’re on tour. 
  • This comic is genius.

I never promised the thoughts would be deep ones.

One year!

Posted on by

Today is the first anniversary of I Still Want More Puppies!  First, I just want to say a big thank you for reading this blog, commenting on posts, and generally being worthy of the title Galactic President Superstar McAwesomeville.  Second, I hope you enjoyed the flashback posts this week – if you haven’t read them yet, I hope you’ll take a moment to relive some of the bloggy highlights from the last year.  Normal posting will resume tomorrow.  Finally, I leave you with the first photo of Bella ever posted on this blog:

At the time, I said that her future was so bright she’d need to buy some shades specially engineered for dogs.  Neither she or I could have predicted how awesome this first year of blogging would be.  (Keeping it short & sweet today, but visit my Pet Blogger Challenge post from January if you’re just in the mood for navel gazing today.)  Most of all, I just want to thank you for being a friend!

In closing… puppies.
