A dog in a hot car’s just not right…

Posted on by

Today, we’re going with some vintage Bella from 2007 combined with a PSA from the pup herself. (She totally wrote this song.)

Hot dog, summer in the city
Whether a Beagle, Yorkie, or a Pitty.
Why can’t I just nap like a kitty?
It isn’t getting any cooler in the city.

All around people being brain dead
Even though that car is hotter than a match head.

But it’s not hard to be a pearl,
Be smart about the world.
Come on, come on, and see the light
A dog in a hot car’s just not right.

And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity,
Some people just aren’t all that bright
In the summer, in the city
In the country, or the city.

Stay cool, no need for that pity
Just remember this little ditty.
Sure enough, you’ll be sitting pretty
Looking out for dogs in the country and the city.

I’m already filled with dread knowing that the usual hot car stories are just around the corner… as usual, I’m sure the news cycle will bring out my Hulk-ian tendencies. (As in, “Hulk smash idiots who leave their dogs in hot cars.” Hulk smash a lot.)

Caption this: Stairway to Bella

And she’s making a stairway to Bella.
When you get there you know, that the stairs will be closed.
With a treat you can get to the next floor.
Ooh, you must pay to use the stairway to Bella.

I seriously can’t help myself. The husband sent me this photo and it was just begging for a Led Zeppelin parody, don’t you think?

Now, it’s your turn. How would you caption this Bella?

Excuse me, you have a singing Bellagram

Hello, hello, hello, you called? I can’t hear a thing.
I cannot hear you in the yard you see, see.
Wha-Wha-What did you say? Oh, you’re just too far away.
Sorry, I cannot hear you I’m busy sniffing.

K-kinda sniffing.
K-kinda sniffing.
Sorry I cannot hear you
I’m kinda sniffing.

Just a second, it’s my favorite toy with which to play
And I cannot come in the house while I’m fetching it, okay?
You should’ve called me sooner before I was running free,
And now you won’t stop calling, but I’m busy sniffing.

Stop callin’, stop callin’, I don’t want to come in the door.
I want to stay outside and play in the grass more.
Stop callin’, stop callin’, I don’t want to come in the door.
I want to stay outside and play in the grass more.

The heart wants what it wants – and today my heart wanted to parody another Lady Gaga song. I’ll stop now. (Also, I won’t lie. I’m kind of addicted to Instagram. Do you use it? If so, follow me and let’s connect!)

PSA: Don’t play cards with this dog

Posted on by

You got to know when to hold ’em… know when to fold ’em… know when to howl and play… know when to run. You never count your dog treats, when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for barkin’ when the dealin’s done.

I hope you learned something from today’s PSA (Puppy Service Announcement).

World domination… of the canine persuasion

Posted on by

It’s Friday. So, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

  1. This week’s punny pet name: Fleyonce Knowles.
  2. Bonus punny name for which I cannot take credit: Ermione Granger. Double bonus: Barky Joel and Christopher Crossbreed. Triple bonus: more mouse puns than you can shake a cheese stick at.
  3. You know, I simply don’t feature enough ermines around here. Thus, I give you… one very persistent ermine.
  4. I think Beyonce might be wrong. Who run the world? My money is on these diabolical pets. (If they’re making you nervous, just hold the hand of someone you love.)
  5. Regardless of who is running it, this hamster’s world looks pretty awesome.
  6. Maybe Corgis are running the world? I mean, that guy’s got some convincing arguments.

You know I love a song parody. (I also have a soft spot for videos combining Beyonce tunes with adorable pooches. I don’t know why.) Once this whole “running the world” theme popped into my head, a quick Google search revealed the perfect video for today’s post.

(Runner up: Who run the world? Squirrels!)

I wish I was creative enough to turn some of my parody stylings into actual videos (and that I could sing). I mean, I can’t even pick a favorite line. One Dalmatian can build a nation? Kibble we can devour? It’s just genius.

I, for one, welcome our new canine overlords.

A blogger’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love

My apologies to Tennyson…

Anyway, I am very excited about the weekend ahead. Dinner with old friends tonight, more March Madness… not to mention The Hunger Games and Mad Men.  Lots to enjoy! For that reason, today’s post has a simple, not-so-much-a-theme theme: stuff I love!

  1. Your punny pet names: Catnip Everdeen, Peeta Mebark, Primnose Everdeen, and Gale Pawthorne.
  2. A few things I love: Downton Abbey, Mad Men, and puppies. It’s hard to decide which is more awesome – imagining the characters of Downton Abbey as different dog breeds (Dogton Abbey lives!) or comparing them to the cast of Mad Men.
  3. A Mad Men choose your own adventure game? Sold! (However, I will be forever loyal to the Saved by the Bell one – it’s first in my heart.) Have I mentioned my childhood obsession with both Choose Your Own Adventure books and fuzzy posters? Where is my Mad Men fuzzy poster? 
  4. You know I love Dr. Seuss… so of course I enjoyed this Dr. Seuss alphabet!
  5. I also love turtles (as you know). This turtle is no exception.
  6. I’m planning to see The Hunger Games this weekend. (Have you read the books? I am always searching for more people to chat with about them, as I have thoughts… lots of thoughts.) Speaking of both games and hunger, these cakes are awesome.
  7. The love doesn’t stop there… I love this song, which I happened to hear on the radio yesterday. It’s been ages since I last heard it, but it’s perfect for the dog lover!
There are many things to love about the following video…

What are you up to this weekend?

Very superstitious, writing’s on the wall…

Just in case, Bella said “rabbit, rabbit” this morning.

I’ll admit, I can be superstitious at times.  I knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder, and wonder if someone’s talking about me when my ears are burning.  On the other hand, I have no problem with Friday the 13th and I think black cats are adorable.
Are you superstitious?

I say a little prayer for mew…

Best training montage ever?  You be the judge.  (Bonus points for the perfectly chosen soundtrack.)

(via Jezebel)

Speaking of the soundtrack, I obviously had to mess with the lyrics (just a little).  I can’t help myself!  I did stop myself from posting the whole song, so there’s that…

I Say A Little Prayer for Mew

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for mew.
There’s a purr in the air, now,
As well as a lot of cat hair, now,
I say a little prayer for mew.
Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, that’s how it must be
To live without mew
Would only be heartbreak for me.
I’ve got more of these in the works, including a few special requests.  If you have a song you’d like to see parodied on the blog, feel free to leave your request below…

Hello, is it parody you’re looking for?

My Lionel Richie obsession is well-documented.  It should come as no surprise that when the video below landed in my inbox (courtesy of Pamela from Something Wagging), I was very excited.

Well, first I laughed so hard that I missed half the video, paused it, finished laughing, started it again from the beginning, and then was very excited.


(Hello from ant1mat3rie on Vimeo)

Maybe I really do need to join Lionel Richie Fans Anonymous.  It’s an addiction. (Pamela, that may make you my Lionel Richie dealer or just an enabler… either way, thanks for sending this my way!)
