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.
I wanna be your dog:

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.
Ya, I did it.
Atomic Dog!
Animals put me in a reflective mood.
I reflect on a lot of different things
Right now, I’m reflecting on some juicy chicken
David Bowie – Diamond Dogs
Ted Lasso – Diamond Dogs
My daughter has been begging for a puppy & sending me photoshopped pics of all of us with a puppy. I’m still not over our last dog & am holding my ground…Bottle Rockets – Dead Dog Memories
on a much happier note…Tape 5 – Mad Dogs on the Scene
and one I think Keitel will like from Hawaii’s greatest ska/punk band..The Tantra Monsters – Ultra Monkey
@Loveshaq GET HER A PUPPY!
She is going off to college as soon as they reopen & didn’t ever walk our last dog! Our neighbors that lost a dog right after us just got a Bermadoodle puppy and she got to play with it the other day and set her off. I gave her this as her puppy…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The stars were to Hannibal re get her a puppy…
@Loveshaq
Loved it.
Fun fact: the drummer of that band was a few years older than me and used to bully me and make me fight other 7th graders for his enjoyment…good times!
This one is annoying but I don’t care. Corgis are superheroes.
yeah i got nothing but drunken ravings.
Fuck bill maher for his softball interview of kellyanne conway, he just let her spew.
yeah, I’m pretending i didn’t hear your voice message, i’m not into talking to you right now
yeah cat is mad that i called him a momma’s boy, well then don’t jam yourself up against me every time I sit down
Just in general, fuck Bill Maher.
I stopped watching that asshole over four years ago.
Bill Maher strikes me as the kind of guy who is such a douche and then says things like “I said I’m a nice guy, bitch!” to people.
It’s a veritable zoo in here.

If someone can explain the album cover to me, that would be nice. Nazareth – Hair of the Dog
That header photo is a goddamn masterpiece titled, “What?” Cookies for everyone.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Watching the Wildlife
Buckethead, Worms for the Garden
I don’t know what the hell is going on in this video, but Buckethead is a freak of nature!
I’m not big on instrumentals but he is always worth a listen. I can’t imagine why he’d want to waste his time with Axl Rose.

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…
For the people of, *ahem*, a certain age. . . .
