Warning: this song is pretty darn catchy.
I’ll be singing this one for days.
Ruffing awesome? You bet.

Moonwalking down memory lane…
I’m feeling nostalgic today (and every day, but let’s set that problem aside for now). Maybe this weekend I’ll bust out my jelly shoes and play with my Brenda Walsh paper doll.
Oh, wait. I own neither of those things. Tragic.
- First up, your punny pet name: Henona Ryder (or Winona Flyder).
- On a pun-related note, these reworked movie posters are killing me. Seriously, how did I never come up with Abraham Lynxin?
- Continuing on the poster theme, these minimalist posters of children’s classics are pretty neat.
- Seriously though, I’m beginning to question my pun-slinging skills. I also wish that I had come up with Ernest Lemingway.
- Given that I mentioned both Winona and good ol’ Brenda Walsh above, do you love the movie Heathers? If not, might I ask… what is your damage?
- Speaking of damage, this article about Jem and the Holograms may have broken my brain.
- Now I’m going to be singing this all day.
You know, this cat can moonwalk better than I ever could:
Thanks for joining me on this (moon)walk down memory lane!
(Don’t forget – the #SuperDogPics Twitter party is this Sunday. Have you RSVP’d?)
Hark! The Puppies are Playing
Today, I have yet another caroldy (and an adorable video) for you. Enjoy!
Hark! The Puppies are Playing
Hark! The puppies are playing,
With balls and other squeaky things!
Fuzzy puppies running wild,
Bring joy to each adult and child.
Playful, all these puppies try
To unwrap the gifts that you did buy.
Undaunted they will try again,
Until your Christmas feasting ends.
Hark! the puppies are playing,
Their cuteness will make your heart sing.

The best things happen when a dog & penguin are dancing…
‘Twas the last No Frown Friday before Christmas and all through the blogs, my readers were wondering if I’d still post about dogs.
The answer is yes. Let’s do this.
- First up, your punny pet names: Bark Griswold and George Tailey.
- I guess we made it through that whole apocalypse thing okay, huh? At least it gave me this photo. And this pun. Worth it.
- As the world did not end, your weird holiday traditions can continue unabated.
- So, what should I watch to get into the holiday spirit this weekend? (Animal Planet totally stole that “pup culture” thing from this blog, right? I kid, I kid… although perhaps they should have hired me as a consultant. I could have provided some high quality puns. For example, they went with Fluffy Phelps, but I would have argued for Michael Whelps. Nailed it.)
- Moving on… I’m digging some of these TV-themed Christmas cards.
- If you are still not sure what to buy me for Christmas, my Lionel Richie wishlist just grew by one cheesy item.
- Do you wrap presents for your furry family members?
- Okay, these may not be appropriate for younger audiences, but the 25 Funniest AutoCorrects of 2012 are absolutely hilarious. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Consider it my present to you.
Finally, this week’s video:

Dog carols: Here We Come a Sniff-Sniffing & Deck the Bowls
It’s time for some more caroldies! Let’s twist some new tunes today…
Here We Come A-Sniff Sniffing
Here we come a-sniff sniffing
Among the yards so green.
Here we come a-tracking
The squirrels that we have seen.
Food and treats come to you,
And to you your rope bone too.
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup this new year,
And dog send you a pup this new year.
Dog bless the family in this house,
Dog bless the felines too.
Should you get a dog this year,
Rescue’s the thing to do.
Love and snuggles come to you,
And some puppy kisses too,
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup so very dear,
And dog send you a pup so very dear.
Deck the Bowls
Deck the bowls with lots of food,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Share your dinner or else you are rude,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our eating poses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don’t ignore our furry noses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Set some full food bowls before us,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll thank you with a barking chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Eating gives us so much pleasure,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Today, our intake do not measure.
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We can smell the feast a-cooking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll steal the ham when you aren’t looking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Either way we’ll feel like winners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
As we’ll have eaten five full dinners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Apparently, I’m not the only one in the mood for caroldies today. Stop by Something Wagging This Way Comes to learn the lyrics to Here Comes Puppy Dog, The 12 Days of Christmas (puppy version), and I Walked the Dog on Christmas Day.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Kitty
Happy holidays, friends! It’s time for your weekly link roundup…
- First up, your punny pet names: Norman Tockwell, Mariah Hairy, and Brenda Flea. (Also, meet Salvador Doggy.)
- Corgi with your legs so short, for sleigh-pulling duty, please report.
- All dogs go to… law school?
- Much like my own dogs during the holidays, these dogs are So. Over. It. (These cats, on the other hand, are making the most of the giant scratching post you so kindly installed.)
- Is it time for Downton Abbey to return yet? (I always type that as Downtown Abbey, which is a show I would also watch.) Until then, enjoy Breaking Abbey.
- Holiday overload? Yes, please.
- I whipped up a batch of homemade butterbeer once. It was glorious. I think I want some right now.
Finally, here’s today’s video:
Epic.

If you’re worried, and you can’t sleep…
Just count your puppies instead of sheep.
Recognize that movie? I had the chance to go see the stage version last night with a good friend (hence the fact that Thursday’s post is going up on Friday). It definitely helped get me in the holiday mood – snow even fell on us at the end. (Not just confetti, but wet snow. It was a nice touch.)
Third row, baby!
I know we’ve talked about favorite Christmas movies before. However, that was two years ago, so it seemed like time to revisit the topic. My question to you – what’s your favorite? I’ll start off the discussion. My required Christmas viewing includes White Christmas (obviously), Elf, and many more…

Even a miracle needs a hand…
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s okay to start posting about Christmas, right? I’m not going to lie – it’s one of my favorite times of the year.
Today, I was thinking about challenges and how sometimes wonderful things don’t just happen – that sometimes you have to help them along. (I think Bella and Tavish take this approach to meals – why wait for me to prepare dinner when you can speed things along by doing a food dance? Lucky me – dinner and a show!)
Anyway, it seems like the perfect day to share a song from one of my favorite Christmas specials. Such wise cartoons we had back in the day…
Talk about a lesson I wish I could remember all year long – whether it’s a change in my own life or something I could do to help someone else’s miracle along, it’s all about action. Just watching the world go by isn’t enough. After all, as a famous man once said, “If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” I’m trying, tiny mice, I’m trying…
Also, it’s time to talk about holiday specials again – what are your favorites? You know I love any reason to stroll down Memory Lane. I should really just buy a house there.
What’s your favorite holiday special?
I know everyone loves It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (and if I drew you a Venn diagram right now, a tiny circle labeled “me” would appear within that larger circle labeled “everyone”). However, I have to admit that there’s a Halloween special that beats it for me. Any guesses? Hint: it stars a big fat Halloween cat…
Revisiting this one made me wonder – what’s your favorite holiday special? I tend to think that Halloween kind of kicks off the holiday season, so feel free to talk Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday that floats your boat.
Here’s a few (non-exhaustive) lists to get you started: Halloween specials, Thanksgiving specials, and Christmas specials. (Disclaimer: in my book, any list that doesn’t include the Garfield special for the holiday in question is not complete.)
I do love holiday TV (as my viewing habits during the next two months will reflect), so my list could go on and on. Feel free to discuss your favorites in the comments and perhaps I’ll share some of them during the holiday season! I’ll also tell you more about my favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas specials too as the dates get closer. Time to get into the holiday spirit!
