Playing with the high key setting on the DSLR… I think this setting makes Bella look like she just had a bath. (So bright and clean, you’d never know she has an addiction to rolling on things she shouldn’t in the yard. True story.)
I’m pretty sure we’ve all had experiences that felt exactly this way:

We’ve all been there, pup. Stay strong. (On a related note, now I can’t stop singing “Opposites Attract” – and now you probably won’t be able to either. Sorry.)
Seriously, I don’t just stroll down Memory Lane anymore. Sometimes it seems like I’ve purchased a nice little house there. At the very least, I’ve bought a vacation home in the neighborhood. So… anybody else remember this animated short from Nickelodeon?
I do always wonder what Bella dreams about…
In case you’re wondering why I found this today… be prepared for another scary trip on my train of thought. For some reason I started wondering if there were any videos combining dogs and Beverly Hills, 90210… which led me to this video of a dog reacting to the classic theme song. Of course (?) that got me thinking about the Pound Puppies… so I watched this commercial for Pound Puppies Colorforms. (Remember those? I definitely had this exact set, as well as that Pooch on the Loose game… that thing was awesome.) One of the related videos on the sidebar was the Nickelodeon animated short above… and thus I thought I should share it with you.
I also ended up watching a few other Nickelodeon shorts. It’s amazing how many of them I remembered! I even found two favorites: “Housecats” and “The Cat Came Back.” Apparently the secret word for today is nostalgia.
Hope you’re having a fantastic Sunday!
Another Friday is upon us… so you know what that means. It’s time to send you into the weekend with a smile!
Finally, in conclusion… here’s a dancing tortoise:

After all that randomness, it just didn’t seem right to give you a video that was even remotely related to the disjointed ramblings above. (Besides, who doesn’t love a tortoise video set to a catchy tune?) Happy weekend!
To those of you in the U.S., I hope you have a wonderful July 4th! It’s been busy around here… I made some patriotic cupcakes and a ridiculous amount of sangria yesterday. (No joke – I bought a 2 gallon cooler to store it in. Let’s just hope that nobody tries to go total sports fan and dump it on someone’s head as if it were Gatorade.) In addition, I’ve made some giant submarine sandwiches, and a vat (also not really an exaggeration) of Asian Noodle Salad. We won’t starve, that’s for sure!
Anyway, no time for a long post, but I wanted to wish all of you a happy 4th of July – I hope you have a fantastic day. So does Bella… she even dressed for the occasion:
In spite of the holiday, Bella’s nap schedule proceeds as usual.
Happy 4th!
So, I went to see Mamma Mia last night at one of my favorite outdoor venues. You can’t really beat sitting outside with friends, munching on snacks and having a glass of wine while enjoying some classic ABBA. It was such a fun show, and it may have the best pre-show announcement I’ve ever heard.
I’m still humming ABBA songs today… which means that I have to get one stuck in your head too. It’s blog law. (The law of this particular blog, anyway. As evidence, see the majority of my song-related post titles.) However, you’re in luck – the Interwebs has thoughtfully provided me with a video that skillfully combines ABBA and adorable animals with a great message. Enjoy…
Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend so far!
A long weekend… the stuff that dreams are made of. I don’t have to go back to the office until Wednesday. In addition to Monday’s holiday, I took Tuesday off as well. As you can imagine, I’m pretty excited! But first, I need to send you into the weekend with your usual dose of randomness…
Of course I can’t send you into the weekend without a video. Since we’re letting guinea pigs and elephants have some fun, seems like it’s only fair to let dogs in on the action…
Doesn’t that video just make you want to go outside to play with your pup?
Before I go, I wanted to tell you that I’m trying out a new thing… Bella graciously allows me to stop adoring her for a few moments now and then to do some baking. Rather than bombard you with recipes and photos here, I’ve created another space for that sort of thing. Every now and then, you can find me over at I Still Want More Cupcakes, telling you how much I love butter and sugar in addition to puppies. I hope you’ll stop by sometime. Puppies are still the main event and posting won’t be slowed here, but you’ll get the occasional bonus of some baked goods to ogle. Win-win, right?
So, what are you up to this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you have fun!
It’s Friday! Time to send you into the weekend with some happy, happy, joy, joy! Let’s get to it…
From now on, I think we should dance our way into every weekend. As an additional bonus, this video helps me forget about my dancing-related irritation over this week’s So You Think You Can Dance results show. Anyone else?
(via Best Week Ever… which I keep accidentally typing as Vest Week Ever. Note to self – come up with concept for that title.)
I figured I’d give you a quick dose of dancing dogitude to send you into the weekend, but if you’re not satisfied, go watch the world’s preeminent Chihuahua flamenco dancer do his thing.
Have a fantastic weekend (and join the Saturday Pet Bloggers Blog Hop, after the jump)!
