On Getting Better Acquainted

When I took this photo Kayloo did not know the two women sitting on that bench. Two seconds after I took this photo she fixed that by goosing one of the women. From the front. They knew each other much better after the goosing.

Wrapped Around My Finger… (actually, wrist… whatever)

Lisa from Heritage Makers (@ThePetBookLady on Twitter) was very kind to make me this bracelet personalized with a bunch of photos of my close-up-ready pooches (if you would like to make one for yourself, you can do so here). She is donating all of her commission ($5) from each bracelet to rescue groups- so awesome that [...]

Photo Op

It looks like Mickey is praying in this picture. HA! Not buying it. As we know, Mickey is the devils’ spawn. In this shot Mickey looks like he’s hating one of those horrid department store photoshoots. You know when the photographer makes you cross your hands, one over the other, and then tilt your head [...]

Dying Chicken on a Pogo Stick

The other day while I was walking the dogs we come across a woman waiting for the bus. She was just standing there. Calmly. That would be the LAST TIME I WOULD SEE THAT WOMAN EVEN REMOTELY CALM AGAIN.

Woman: Can I pet your dogs?

Me: Of course!

Woman: Are they friendly?

Me: Um. Yes.

This should have been a red flag. Somewhere along the line people have been LETTING THIS WOMAN PET UNFRIENDLY DOGS. Clearly we all know this is Wrong, but still, people have been letting (encouraging?) this crazy woman cozy up to Cujo and she now knows to ask.

And so it begain:
