Okay, so I know that this clip is basically everywhere right now. However, given that it exemplifies puns and song parodies at their finest, I just had to share it here too:

A dog and her toys are never parted

Dock diving dogs are flying high!
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?
Does your dog sleep with a stuffed animal?
When I was a kid, my dog Scotti had two favorite teddy bears. She always carried one with her everywhere, and often slept with one of them.
Bella’s never been one for stuffed animals. She just tends to sprawl out. Sometimes she’ll end up with her head on a toy, but not always.
Tavish, on the other hand, likes to snuggle with his favorite toy. He has a blue stuffed dinosaur that he just adores. He puts it in his bed and snuggles up with it at night.
So, do your dogs like to snuggle with their stuffed friends?
Repeat after me: “Hello. May I pet your dog?”
I happen to be a Jezebel reader. I may not always agree, but they almost always get me thinking. Today’s post is inspired by one of those thinking moments.
Recently, Jezebel published a post about the Yellow Dog Project. (Have you heard of it? It’s a pretty neat concept – for dogs that need space, owners tie a yellow ribbon around the dog’s leash or collar to signal to others that they should not approach the dog without asking. It’s as if the dog is wearing a caution sign.)
The post was actually rather complimentary about the Yellow Dog Project, but there was something about it that kind of stuck in my craw.
(As an aside, what exactly is a craw? Do I actually have one or is it just a figure of speech? Sounds like I’ve found my next Google project.)
In which I want to buy all the things…
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…
The luck o’ the Tavish to you
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.

Erin go bark (or St. Catrick’s Day?)
Obviously, Friday links are a little late. Let’s just call it a Shamrock Saturday instead. After all, given that St. Patrick’s Day is on Sunday, could I choose any other theme?
- First up, your punny pet name: Sinead O’Collar.
- I’d like to follow that up with a little shameless self-promotion. Looking for a dessert to make this weekend? Try my recipe for Whiskey Beeramisu (aka Irish Tiramisu). That’s right. I don’t mess around.
- If that’s not your speed, how about Green Beer Cupcakes or Spotted Dog?
- No time? I guess you could just buy a dessert instead.
- Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way… can we discuss how weird this Lucky Charms video is? It’s like they want me to have breakfast at a dance club. (Idea: spoons that double as glow sticks. You’re welcome, party kids.)
- What are your plans this weekend? Whatever you do, remember to beware the sides of starch.
- Speaking of things that rhyme with starch, will you be giving in to March Madness? If basketball’s not your thing, you can always play Animals March Madness instead.
- Did you know that Greyhounds have some Irish history?
- Enjoy this Corgi limerick! (Also, this next link in no way relates to today’s theme, but I don’t care. The Corgi’s name is Corgnelious. I had no choice.)
- If you, like me, enjoy the occasional Shamrock Shake (I allow myself one per year and try not to think about how horrible it is for me), I want to let you in on a little secret. Ask for it half Shamrock, half chocolate. You won’t be sorry. (Allegedly, it’s called the McLeprechaun, but somehow I doubt that my local McDonald’s would have known that if I’d tried to order it that way.)
Finally, today’s video. There are no words…
Do you have big plans for St. Patrick’s Day?
Don’t be crusty – it’s Pi Day!
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.
