Meet Jesse & His Awesome Tricks! (Yes, He’s A Dog)

February 22, 2012

This is Jesse. He may be one of the world’s most awesome dogs (there are a lot of them, admittedly). He knows tons of tricks, and not the kind that make him look just cute and adorable, but the kind that make him look cute and adorable and be also really useful, too.

Basically, I’m looking at my cat who’s idea of a fulfilling day was to demand breakfast, nap, nap, play with his catnip filled mouse, nap, smack a friend who teased him (no claws, thank you very much), purr, flirt, ignore, demand dinner, and nap, and thinking, why can’t my cat do all those useful things?

But then again, I’d have a dog and not a cat.

Anyway, luckily for us, doing chores are apparently not below a dog’s dignity.

Kudos to Jesse for being such a wonderful, happy, energetic dog and also to his fantastic trainer and human friend!


DJ Dawg Shows How It’s DONE!

February 11, 2012

Hey, it’s Saturday night, it’s 30 minutes to midnight, which means those of us who aren’t old and decrepit (that would be me) are dolling ourselves up, listening to some tunes and getting ready to head out for a night on the town (the cool way, which is around midnight). So what better time to show you how it’s really done. The cool you and I would like to own, that is.

DJ Dog here has that total nonchalant-I-couldn’t-care-less attitude down to an absolute science. Someone award that dog a Nobel prize in absolute cool.

If you ARE going out tonight, please spare the occasional thought of me, sitting at home, toiling away over the computer, writing and creating things for your entertainment. I’m also making stock for an incredible soup that will be put together tomorrow. Mr Marvin the cat, who is quite often as cool as DJ Dog lost his cool when it came to demanding ham I was slicing off the shoulder of ham I bought. Mind you, kitty doesn’t beg, he demands. And demands. And demands.

Perhaps someone needs to do a mashup of Black Ham Demanding Cat and Too Cool For School DJ Dog video. You know it would be awesome.

 


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!


A Dog Sleeping With His Kittens

January 31, 2012

Bringing you more hard hitting news from the world of pets, we’re proud to show you this video, of Murkin the dog sleeping with kittens.

Yes, it’s cats and dog today.

Mind you, the video needs two warnings, one) you may want to turn the sound down as the muzak is a little annoying, and 2) as someone commented, you may need to bang your head against the wall to feel like a man again, because this video is mega serious cuteness overload.

I know it’s only Tuesday, but for those of us who are renting, tomorrow is a day to feel broke as we hand over our hard earned cash to our landlords so we can keep a roof over our heads (or it’s just rent day), we may need a little extra cuteness to get us through.

On the bright side, tomorrow is the start of another Royal Treatment special offer – after all how else can a dog stay as soft, silky and shiny as Murkin if he doesn’t have some fantastic organic grooming products for dogs? Exactly, my friends, exactly.

I wonder what the special offer will be this time?
