There is nothing comparable. I have had several litters and it is worth the stretch marks. – Paul Johnson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/07/14/puppy-swarms_n_7795116.html
If they give Oscars for Youtube videos, this has to be the best documentary of 2015:
(((This turned into an essay of sorts about my dog Ruby’s cremation day (a word I hated when it came to being associated with her) and it’s about her essence of course… written not of sound mind perhaps, but there’s beauty in the story and I needed to tell it quick…thank you all so much …
I was writing a song in my backyard on my Spanish guitar, when a pair of raccoons came out of the bushes to check me out. The hood is alive… with the sounds of these little thieving quasi monkey bears and the sound of sensitive pony tail music. – Davin Michael Stedman
This is my new favorite video. This house should be made into a national historic place. I’m a little surprised there hasn’t already been a reality show…
Just a pug, coolly and calmly, playing drums to “Enter Sandman.” Sleep with one eye open indeed…
A retriever puppy walks into a bar, sits down at the piano, and starts playing a mashup of Rachmaninoff, Gershwin and Debussy. He’s really getting into it when a much bigger dog walks in, grabs the puppy by the neck, and drags him out of the bar. One guy sitting on a bar stool says …

((((Facebook is aggregating all the people in my pipeline that feel Cecil the lion is getting too much “air time” or they just don’t “understand” all the hoopla- and there seems to be an empathy war going on between all the injustices out there. Also, thee “if you eat meat why do you care?” tactic …

Heard a ruckus in the backyard, only to discover a Cooper’s Hawk trying to catch some lunch unsuccessfully. (a baby robin hidden in the bushes that hadn’t quite found its flying wings). Lots of upset robins trying to distract the hawk, but it was my appearance at the screen door that caused the hawk to …
Aren’t pugs wonderful? There is nothing they can’t do. Thanks to boingboing.net:
Dogs form the back of their tongues into a cuplike tool and shovel water into their mouths while drinking. This is the opposite of how I thought they might drink. I thought they lifted the water on their tongue straight upward into their mouths. The backward-shovel action is a surprise. Frontward or backward drinkers, I …

Funny stuff. Why is the long-haired cat allowed on the hide-a-bed and not the short-haired dog?

I tip my hat to the large man who thought up the idea for this photo. He is truly a pug lover, a friend to animals, and an individual who understands the Internet… http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/man-in-dog-shirt-poses-with-dog-in-man-shirt-214849356.html
This is from 2011, but if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth a look. The man in the vid is Charlie Bird, an Irish television journalist.
