Floppy Dog’s Valentine Joy!

February 14, 2012

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day and an even better evening. Of course, don’t forget to share some of that love with your fantastic little furry friend (Marvin is sitting on the table staring at me while I type with big pie eyes. It looks like love but it’s probably more of a ‘feeeeed meeeee’).

Here’s a really cute video with really cute felt dogs. And a nice little song.

It’s melancholy, sweet and a perfect little valentine’s day video, especially for the animal people who read the blog.

Enjoy! And remember, your lovely blogger can be bribed with champagne, whiskey, chocolates and chicken flavoured chips. No, I don’t know why  you’d need to bribe me, either, but I’m sure if you’ve got the goods, I can come up with a reason.

Happy Valentine’s Day, people and furbabies everywhere!!!


Introducing Soccer Cat!

February 13, 2012

And with the immortal words ‘and I think we have a cat on the pitch!’ a new legend is born.

Yes, a kitty decided to join in the beautiful game by not only running onto the soccer pitch, but also posing very glamorously before gracefully scampering to the side lines and allowing a human to pick him up and carry him off, no doubt to milk, fish, (if it’s my cat:) beef. And soft, soft kitty cushions and some extra fancy scratching posts to keep his claws in top condition.

Of course, there would be the world’s best catnip.

It’s a fantastic video because it’s real and not practised. Kitty decided to play soccer. Kitty ruled. Kitty made the players realise they were in the presence of a master of the game.

I do love the commentators saying how there was once a fox on the pitch, and how no one was trying to remove the ktity from the pitch.

Exactly. No one interrupts perfection until perfection decides it’s time for a nap.

Love this video! Yay, soccer cat!!!


What We’ve All Been Waiting For: Hamster Glamour Shots

February 9, 2012

It’s been all cats and dogs this week, so for something a little different, today we’re bringing you hamsters. And not just any old hamsters, no.

We’re bringing you a hot link to 30 pics of glamour hamsters!

Exciting, isn’t it?

These pics, courtesy of city rag, are very cute. While I’m not sure who wants to glam up some cute lil’ hamsters (I’m assuming the same kind of people who love to glam up their cats and dogs…ie: quite a few of us out there), I’m glad someone went to the trouble of doing so, as we now have these photos to cherish forever!

I never had a hamster growing up. We had mice at school that we were studying for science. My mouse peed on me. Then, over the long weekend, the pregnant mouse who’d just given birth ate all her babies. Quite traumatic for a 12 year old, let me tell you. That’s all I remember of the mice at high school. Not that mice are hamsters. But they have some similarities, like twitchy little noses, and those teeny little hands and tails and fur.

Mind you, these hamsters look like they’re totally fine with being glammed up; one might even say they’re rather into it. Unlike cats. Have you ever tried to put some clothing on your cat? They always look humiliated and give you looks that say ‘you better sleep with one eye open for the next week, that’s what you should be doing, otherwise there might be trouble.’. Cats are good at those kinds of looks. I don’t know how show cat people get away with putting their cats in costumes. Perhaps they did it from when the kitties were very small? I don’t know. If someone knows, please tell me.

Without further ado, here’s your hamster glamour shots. Enjoy!

 

 


By Puppy Demand: Aberdeen’s Epic Moves (From Puppy Bowl VIII)

February 8, 2012

Puppy Bowl may now reside far back in the mists of time (aka Sunday), for some people out there, it’s always puppy bowl time!

So for those people, and for all the puppy lovers (pretty much everyone except for horrible, heartless people who may quite possibly be zombies) out there, we’re bringing you one last puppy bowl video – Aberdeen.

Aberdeen is an adorable puppy. I know this the equivalent of stating that Gisele Bundchen is a hot supermodel, but he is adorable.

The thing is, Aberdeen, an Australian Shepherd mix, didn’t win MVP (most valuable player) in the puppy bowl. This controversial decision has many people up in arms, because he showed some mad skills out on the field. He kept control of the same chew toy for about half an hour – and kept it away from competing puppies. All this and he scored a number of touchdowns!

Let’s face it, Aberdeen was robbed!

So muster up your outrage, watch the video of Aberdeen scoring a touchdown (not to mention his clever paw work as he nimbly dodges the other puppies), and relish the knowledge you now have something vastly important and very interesting to talk about at the water cooler tomorrow at work.


Just So They’re Not Left Out: The Kitties Of Puppy Bowl VIII!

February 7, 2012

I challenge you not to find this adorable.

For those of you who missed puppy bowl VII’s half time show, or for those of you who are having withdrawal (it happens…), here’s a little video clip of the kitten half time show. Can puppy bowl have been so long ago now (two days is a long time for some of us)?

Personally, I love the music almost as much as I love the kittens. It’s just so…mental yet perfect for energy packed kittens. Seriously, where do they get all that energy from? Forget Red Bull, someone needs to manufacture kitten energy. Of course, I think we all know that energy doesn’t really last too long beyond kittenhood. When kittens become cats they turn to sleeping at all opportunities (all opportunities being the times they’re not busy hunting toy mice, leaping about for no reason at all, eating, and demanding the steak your preparing with very loud meows), just like the one curled up on my bed as I type. I think it’s the 9th nap of the day and it’s only 11.22am!

Enjoy discovering/reliving the kitten half time show!
