Deadsplinter Up! All Night: Animal Crackers

Our dogs had their nails trimmed yesterday. I normally dread the occasion because they do not cooperate. It is amazing how they can make themselves as flat as a pancake when they desire. So that means I’m hunched over holding them up. No fun for the lower back. Much to my surprise everyone behaved well with minimal dog wrangling on my part. Extra treats all around.

The praise didn’t last long. One of the boys sat/laid on Ellie’s head at 5:30 am this morning to tell her we needed to get up and let them out. I am holding out hope that one day when I tell them to go back to sleep they will actually do it.

Hit me with your best animal songs or videos.

Caution- Serious rabbit hole

I can’t help myself.

Thanks for coming around.

      Soccer Mommy, “Your Dog” 

    • You’re dogs are so cute!!

        oooo whats she gonna do?…bite my ankles?
        no she isnt…im in europe :p
        anyways…..ive never liked the little ankle biter breeds…..nothing personal…its actually the fucking high pitched bark that i hate

          • I’ve always maintained that the smaller the dog the larger the lungs. Probably an evolutionary feature to ward off attacks, since they can’t intimidate by their size. The hound we have now and the one previous were practically mute. Our first dog, the puppy under the Christmas tree, was a little terrier and she could have been pressed into service as an air raid siren. About 12 pounds soaking wet and she could be heard for blocks around.  

            • That made me curious. I wasn’t able to find any hard evidence, but others echoed your theory that little dogs try to seem more formidable than they are.

              However, evolution has pretty much nothing to do with modern dogs. It’s all humanity’s doing now. Dogs have been bred for specific characteristics for millennia. There’s no way most little yappy dogs would have emerged without breeding programs. They don’t fill an ecological role.

  2. Animals put me in a reflective mood.

  10. First time I saw this video I was so entranced by the animals that when I was over I was like oh fuck what was the song even about? I wonder when VH1 will play the video again…
