Forget MasterChef… how about HamsterChef?

I’m so ready for this three-day weekend. Bring it on!

  1. Up first, your punny pet names for this week: Nigella Pawson, Meowrio Batali, and Gordon Hamsay.
  2. Any other Top Chef Masters fans out there? I’m pulling for Chef (and certified dog trainer) Douglas Keane – how could I not? He’s competing for puppies! In particular, he’s donating any winnings to the Green Dog Rescue Project. (It’s an interesting model – any thoughts?)
  3. Sorry, other chefs… Dog Chef is still the cutest chef. (I know I shared it before, but it’s totally worth revisiting.)
  4. Dinner is great, but dinner and a show is even better.
  5. Speaking of shows, if you’re suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawal, soothe your sadness with these direwolf cake pops.
  6. If that’s not your thing, you could always order one of these dog cakes instead.
  7. Whatever you’re digging, I bet you can find it at the barkery.
  8. I’m going to need something to wash down all of that cake. What could it be? Oh, yeah. OH. YEAH. (I’m obsessed.)
  9. Don’t forget to provide some tasty options for your pups too – the family that dines together, doesn’t whine together. (Or something.)

Finally, today’s video is about enjoying your meals to the fullest:

Darn. Now I’m hungry. Thank goodness I already know what’s great for a snack.

If you missed it, here’s what was cooking on the blog this week:

(If you’re feeling so inclined, there’s still time to spice up the Dogs of Blogville calendar contest. You can vote for Ms. Bella until noon EST on Sunday.)

Caption this dog: Here’s what I think of your bath…

Today, I thought I’d share a classic Bella photo with you, circa 2004. Obviously, Bella did not approve of the fact that I was giving her a bath. Her (completely unintentional) comic timing was impeccable, however:

Bella in the bath: I Still Want More Puppies

Seriously? My poor stressed out kiddo…

What’s Bella thinking? (Perhaps – if she was in a dramatic mood that day – she felt like a costumed fool trapped in a tragic game?) Share your captions in the comments!

Don’t forget – you can vote for Bella daily in the Dogs of Blogville calendar contest, should you feel so inclined. She’s barely hanging on to a spot in the top twelve…

He’ll be your Batdog for all seasons

Bear with me…

Yesterday, I quoted Grease 2 in order to convince you to vote for Bella in the Dogs of Blogville calendar contest. Today, I wanted to find a video that would fit the theme, but it proved tougher than anticipated. (Where’s a cool rider when you need one?) So, I took a few leaps. You may remember that Michelle Pfeiffer was in Grease 2. She also played a little character known as Catwoman.

Hence, a Batdog video seemed appropriate:

Have you voted for Bella today? If not, what are you waiting for? Swing by Heart Like a Dog to vote for the Bellaface once per day!

Vote for Bella and I’ll stop quoting Grease 2… maybe

Bella has asked me to tell you that she’s participating in the 2nd annual Dogs of Blogville calendar contest. She’d like to snag a spot in the calendar… but to do so, she’ll need your support. I mean, look at this face…

Vote for Bella: I Still Want More Puppies

Let’s do it for our country – our country wants us to.

You can vote for Bella daily at the wonderful Heart Like a Dog blog.

Pretty please? With kibble on top? Otherwise, I’ll be forced to mine Grease 2 for even more quotable lyrics. (Unless that’s your thing, of course… if you’re voting for Bella so that I’ll include more Grease 2 references on the blog, please let me know in the comments. I aim to please.)
