Trick or treat

Until this year, we lived in an apartment – thus, Bella had very little exposure to children seeking candy on Halloween.  After the first trick or treater came by tonight, Bella decided to camp out by the door in case more showed up:

We’ve turned off the doorbell (which makes her a bit batty) and sent her to hang out downstairs with Mr. Pup Fan while I man the door. After carefully evaluating our candy selection (respecting the candy hierarchy), I’m ready to hand out treats.  Wonder what kind of costumes we’ll see tonight…

Anyway, thought I’d share a few quick photos of some of our decorations… the last one is my favorite.

 

Happy Halloween!

Dogson’s Creek

As you may know, this week I have Dawson’s Creek on the brain.  I’m not quite ready to move on.  After all, we already saluted the Bev-Niner, so it’s only fair that Dawson’s Creek gets its due. 

  1. This week’s punny pet names come to you straight from Capeside:  Dogson Leery, Jen Brindley, Pacey Litter (or for a bird – Pacey Twitter), Crow-y Potter, and Jack McFlea.  (Dogson’s Creek… the next project from my punny production company?)
  2. The show should have just been named after Pacey instead.  If you’re a Pacey fan, you owe it to your 1999 self to watch this hilarious video about Pacey-Con 2010.
  3. I decided to see if there were any animals with Creek-related names available for adoption on Petfinder.  Allow me to introduce you to Dawson, Pacey, and Joey… they’re looking for homes!
  4. So, when I searched for “dawson’s creek puppy” (I do it for you, dear readers), I found this video.  It’s a dog… swimming in a creek for the first time.

As you may have gathered from the last item above, my search for an animal-themed Creek video for today was not so successful. So instead, I give you dogs watching TV (the commentary by the person filming amused me, and I apparently like to watch animals watch things):

For some reason, these two terriers just made me smile (and not just because they are terriers… though I’m sure that helped).  Anyway, I’m going to pretend it still relates to the Creek because they are the future dog version of Joey & Pacey… or something.

Oh, and since No Frown Friday was on hiatus last week, here’s a bonus link to some more illustrations and punny pet names from Chet Phillips (including two quizzes – check out the one at the bottom of the post for a real challenge).  You may remember the two installments of his literary pets series that I shared before – this time, the theme is artists.  Enjoy!

Lick the moon

The comic below made me think of Bella, who likes to lick things. And by things, I mean any and all things she encounters.  (Seriously… everything.)

Little Dog Lost
(Trouble reading? Go here for a larger version.)

Due to the convoluted workings of my mind, I now have “Kiss the Rain” stuck in my head.  As a result (and due to the convoluted workings of the Internet), I found this gem to share with you.  (Hint: it involves the song above… and the Creek.  Yes, that Creek.)

I should probably stop now.
