Pup culture confession: I like the dog from Duck Hunt
It’s time for another Friday link roundup. Today’s theme? Video games.
(Before we get started, however, a quick disclaimer. Looking back, I’m mildly horrified that I played a video game in which the objective was to shoot computerized ducks. However, I do have a certain fondness for that laughing dog. I can’t help it.)
- First up, this week’s punny pet name: Carmen Sandi-dog-o.
- Speaking of puns, this blog is filled entirely with recipes bearing punny titles of the legal variety. It is therefore amazing. I rest my case.
- Puns are not my only love. (Sorry, puns.) Given the format of this and many other posts, you are probably already aware that I love lists. Thus, this post about obsessive list making was a home run for me.
- Video games let you live out fantasies. Depending on the game, you can be a warrior, a dinosaur, a pilot, a hedgehog with a dye job, or even a plumber with an overactive imagination. Maybe you can even pretend you’re a dog?
- Now that I think about it, perhaps dogs are already living la vida video game.
- Apparently there’s a game coming out about a dog in space. (Yes, I’m fighting the urge to make that same dog… in… space joke again.)
- Who am I kidding? Will any video game dog ever top this guy?

- I mean, these cynical hedgehogs know what I’m talking about. Totally skeptical.
Today’s video reminded me of that old Mortal Kombat game. (Or maybe Punch Out, although this video is more akin to a boxing game.) (On a tangentially related note, I now want to start a band and name it Mortal Wombat.) (On a note related to that tangentially-related note, a Google search quickly revealed that I am far from the first person to utter that pun.)

Anyway, here’s what we’ve been up to this week on the blog:
- Gotcha Day: It’s a Tavishversary!
- Oh, to be a dog at a barbecue…
- Fifteen posts to beat the Monday blues: No Dogs Allowed Edition
- Dogs on the street: Photo walk in Old Town Alexandria
Have anything fun planned this weekend? I’ve got a few things on my to do list, the least exciting of which might involve laundry. Wild and crazy? Check.
Smooth (and adorable) criminals…
Move over, Bonnie and Clyde… the newest thieving duo on the block is so adorable that a jury would never convict them. It’s the perfect crime…

On a related note, if this dog and bird are ever apprehended, will they have to face a jury of their peers? Would it be a jury full of dogs and birds? (Anyone else writing an episode of Paw & Order in their heads right now?)
If so, I would very much like to be at the trial somehow. I’d happily be a public dogfender, or even a court reporter. I could live tweet it! (Pun so intended… so very, very intended. Wordplay!)
I like big mutts and I cannot lie…
First off, happy National Mutt Day! I’d like to dedicate today’s post to all of the awesome mutts out there, including my own. (Considering adopting your own mutt? Check out a really cool way to announce it and help other shelter pets, courtesy of Bocci’s Beefs.)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled linkage:
- Your punny pet name: Johann Sebastian Bark. (Also, this week’s award for awesome punnage goes to… Goatzart.)
- It seems that one local law school has taken a cue from the extremely awesome TV show Community – George Mason University has enlisted some cuddly puppies from a local rescue group to help law students relax during exams. (Perhaps they got the idea from Yale, but in my mind the administrators are just big Community fans.)
- Speaking of TV, I really enjoy that the worried dog from that insurance commercial is starring in a happier commercial.
- So, has anyone seen the new Muppets movie yet? I really want to see it this weekend. After all, I can’t wait to see the next stage in Ms. Piggy’s style evolution.
- This next video has the perfect soundtrack… and it made me giggle, alot (typo intentional).
- I think we can all agree that dogs are cute. (If not, how did you end up reading this blog? Go watch this video and then come back.) Today, let’s also appreciate some cute from off the beaten path.
- Um… on a related note, hedgehog bathtime is awesome.
I think this week’s video really ties it all together…

You know, I had to give Bella a bath last week in preparation for her holiday photo shoot. Why couldn’t she be into it like that guy?
I’ve been battling a sinus infection this week – however, new research shows that the doctor should prescribe a glass of wine and a bubble bath. Now that’s medicine I can get behind. (See how it all relates? My mind works in odd ways.)
Don’t forget – if you have any questions that you’d like to ask a professional pet photographer who also photographs shelter pets, send them my way. I hope to have some answers for you in the near future.
Have a great weekend!
