Asleep at the wheel or when senior dogs nap

One reason senior dogs are great? We nap a lot. Do you need a nap buddy? Call me!

When plush animals attack

As a senior dog, I am more fond of soft dog toys than I was just a few short years ago. There was a time when I loved my Kong but now, just a few bites of a squeaky fox, squirrel or raccoon is enough.

Best Dog Costume Ever

Halloween or anytime, the best dog costume, is no costume. In my dog opinion, let me just act out something, like this here...

Doggie samosa? Furry burrito? Hot pocket?

Grrr I blame Conan O'Brien for this!! This dog "costume" is as good as it's going to get in the dress up, and no all dogs do not like the attention they get from being dressed up. Sigh.

Grrr why did my female think she could mimic the puppy taco she saw Conan do? He used a tiny dog!! Boooooo!

Why dogs don't play poker

Everybody knows cats are better at games of chance than us dogs. Dogs are about the sure thing. Our bond with humans give us an inside track. Therefore, we may not play poker, but we can sell like nobody's business!! This photo could be a scene from Glengarry Glen Ross and I'm a closer baby!

These pets on furniture inspire!

Long ago, I used to get up on the couch every day. My doggy legs and agility could even get me to hop up onto a bench outside the pizza joint or market. Passersby smiled.

Today, I only "climb" onto my fluffy pet bed. But, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy checking out pets that can still enjoy a soft cushion or chair.

If you haven't seen this wonderful site before, let me share with you, Desire to Inspire. They share the interiors of homes from architects and professional designers to readers - all with the hope of inspiring you. 

When I'm missing my time on the furniture, or just want to see some cute photos of other people's pets on furniture, we visit the site on Mondays. 

Every Monday they share photos of pets on furniture. Here are two adorable images from last Monday, October 17, 2011..

"Ahhhh! I told you I only pretended to eat the pig.."

How Dogs #OccupyHearts

My dog advice if you want to occupy hearts, is to start with a come hither glance. Works well on fluffy and short-hair pups.

Grouchy Puppy Goes Purple for Spirit Day

October 20th is Spirit Day. Besides us, lots of celebrities are involved, and sporting their finest shades of purple including Cher, Conan O’Brien, Ellen DeGeneres, and Tyra Banks.

My female is wearing her favorite purple shirt to show support for LGBT young people who are victims of bullying. She loves this shirt and thought it was important to wear something that she was proud to be seen in, and reflected her inclusive spirit towards all people.

I wore a purple flower on this day to show my support for the cause, and to show my love for all people. Yes, I may be a little bossy sometimes, but that doesn't mean I don't love you!! Bullying is wrong.

Join us, for those who have suffered, and in memory of those who tragically took their own life, as a result of being bullied. Support #SpiritDay Give Fearlessly! Influence Positively!
