Dog Psychiatrist?

I have no doubt there is such a thing. I know dog people. You all are a crazy bunch of mofo's, did you know that? Cause ya'ar. You crazy nutbars. C-razy with a capital C. Back away slowly and show no fear kinda crazies. Oh yes you are and YOU KNOW IT. Which is why I have no doubt there are Dog Psychiatrists. The rest of you "norms" (aka not dog obsessed people) aren't surprised either, eh? haha, didn't think so.

You know what else might not surprise you? That I had a long and in depth conversation with this beauty's "parents" *cough cough owner cough cough*. We talked about how the poor guy has some issues. He has some Identity issues. You see, people... mean, ignorant non-dog people...think he's a Mixed breed Dalmatian.

*gasp*
*choke*
*sputter*
*wheeze*

I know, *I* might need a psychiatrist now too.

Orrrr not.

Yup, poor guy just cannot shake that "D" label. How horrible life must be to always be thought of as inferior, not what you truly are. The shame, the confusion. Makes you want to cry.

orrrr not.

But still. He's pretty damn gorgeous, even if he's not even a fraction Dalmatian!

Har har, i kid I kid.

You're the dog buddy, YOU da dog. You big ol' Great Dane you

If I owned a dog...

I would never have to carry wet wipes ever ever again.


Just sayin'

Oh yes he did!!

I am the cool mom.

I encourage my son to jump in muddy puddles.

He damn well better remember that I am the cool mom in the throws of teenagehood. Maybe that's why i take the pictures. To remind him I am the cool mom and he needs to be nice to me.

I also let my kids eat chocolate cake for morning snack


TOLD you I was the cool mom.

Do yourself a favour.

Tonight, after dinner, before you wash any dishes...

Throw your damp sponge in the microwave for a minute


It'll kill all those nasties living in those enticing little holes. Ew nasties.

And while you're at it, do ME a favour and come wash my dishes, M'kay?



Damn those nonstick pans that can't go in the dishwasher!!!

"They" say...

Who "they" are is still a mystery to me, but "they" might have this one right.

People look like their dogs.

I am now very confident in this assessment. (haha, I wrote out ass). You see, this past saturday I had the honour, nay the priviledge (name that movie!) to be one of the hordes that attended Toronto's "Woofstock".

Are you done laughing yet?

How about now?

Ok, good.

Woofstock was actually really cool. Even given the fact that we, I, do not own a dog. But my big brother does, and he came with us, so we had dogs by proxy. Except when I attempted to get him to change Miss A's diaper citing the proxy argument he shot me down, so it might not stand up in court. He's an almost dr you know.

But I digress.

There were dogs. Dogs as far as the eye could see.


Much to my amusement, the hubs and I soon started a "find it's owner" game where we matched the crazy ass owners with their dogs.

I know, we're cool.

This dude up there? Yeah, BINGO!!

Check out this guy.
He's got the sappy "love me or I'll DIE!" golden retriever face down nicely, eh?


This dude...well, he was just plain scary. And his dog could lick my sunglasses clean, so to say he was a bit intimidating was putting it lightly. They went together well


Which brings us to these beauties.

Cute, aren't they?

Hairy, aren't they?

Red, aren't they?

who on earth could these hairy red furballs belong to?

3 guesses, and the first two don't count.



If you guess my big brother, you are RIGHT!!! Cute, hairy and red...Just a bit of resemblance, no?

If you guess someone else, dude, you suck.

I am no longer a loser...or would that be anti-establishment

I signed up for itunes.

Yes, I did it, I gave in. I now pay for my music. I gladly join the masses of teenie boppers and geriatrics worldwide that buy music online.

*sigh*

When did I get this old?

Since I already opened myself up to countless hours of teasing, ribbing, sassing and outright hate mail, I may as well strip naked and show you...

my play list, you dirty birds.

Prepare to laugh your ass off and feel far, far superior to me. It's ok, I allow it.

I"m going to go curl up in bed in shame. While listening to my rockin' new playlist. And then tomorrow, when I'm working out to my new playlist, I shall laugh. And maybe cry a little, cause working out sucks.

I mean seriously.

If having these in your backyard doesn't fuck up naptime, what will?
