Muslims can’t touch dogs?!?

How did I manage to stay totally ignorant for 36 years of the number one reason Muslims are batshit insane?
A St. Cloud State University student in a teacher-training program at Technical High School left the school in late April because he says he feared for the safety of his service dog.
The school district […]

The Weekend Dog: it burns, burns, bur-urns.

Last week I asked about video editing software, and a couple of people said, DUH. Windows Movie Maker, retard. Of course. So I used that to make my first sloppy and unprofessional video of the year. With another Johnny Cash song because that seems to please people (it’s the karaoke version […]

The Daily Dog: McNuggets.

No, I did not buy chicken McNuggets; they were inexplicably in the bag the other day after I went to the McDonald’s drive-thru to manage my biannual cheeseburger-n-fries craving. I am about as likely to eat a McNugget as I am to eat a cat turd, but I figured the dogs have had such […]

The Daily Dog: mentally-challenged court jester.

I bought that little mime mask in Italy with no intention of ever putting it on Sunny’s head, but I had a premonition last night that it would be really funny if I did. I was right, because she sat there with that thing on her head for a solid five minutes, gazing at […]

The first official Rachl Lukis product endorsement!

Fittingly, it has something to do with my obese Ridgeback.
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you know that Sunny is a very fat dog; the vet’s exact words were “morbidly obese.” That was six months ago when Sunny weighed 93 pounds and should have weighed about 80. […]

The Daily Dog: Why you need more than one.

I know lots of people have only one dog, and that’s cool, but I never could. Ninety percent of the funny things my dogs do involve each other, and I truly can’t fathom how bored they’d be if they didn’t get to play with each other every day. They relate to each other, […]

The Daily Dog: Gravity finally defeats the Ridgeback.

Two dog-related news stories cracked me up today. One is here, which goes into great detail about a doggie mixup at a kennel involving two Black Labs who look very much alike and were sent home with each other’s owner. It took the owners two weeks to rectify this situation, because the one […]

The Daily Dog: I am…the dog wheeesperer.

That shot straight up Sunny’s nose is for commenter Recovering Liberal. You asked.
To supplement today’s Daily Dog photos, I have a gripping story of danger and intrigue.
First, I am here to tell you, Cesar Milan is RIGHT. He’s right about everything he ever said about dogs and aggression and […]

The Daily Dog: Sweet Spots and Submission.

I was trying to take pictures of myself in my retard helmet (true story, you’ll find out why later) and Sunny would not abide this activity. She came as close to me as she could, but not daring to make eye contact, so I scratched her sweet spot until she almost passed out.

If all it takes is making my dog cry, I’m okay with that.

I put the Sunny “Saddest Bee” greeting card on my Zazzle store this afternoon, and a few hours later, got an email from Zazzle saying that it has been voted the Greeting Card of the Day by the Zazzle community. A few of them were bought, and thus I have now officially earned sweet […]

The Daily Dog: almost looks like they posed on purpose.

Sometimes they’re even cute to me (not often - I can smell them), and that pic is one of those times. Although it does look a little weird, doesn’t it? Sunny’s face is kinda freaking me out.

The Daily Dog: Cracker.

I hope saltines aren’t bad for dogs. If they are, I fully own right now that I am a bad person. But I’m only human. I was eating soup, she was being good and staying away, and when she waited for me to finish and then approached like a timid starving lamb, […]

The Daily Dog: Stoner.

If I had mad captioning skillz like some of you, I’d totally do it with this one. I swear Maggie The Well-Mixed Herder (TM) does not smoke pot. She’s just soothed when I put crap on her head, especially if it’s made of cashmere.
What? I got it at Goodwill for 50 […]

The Daily Dog: Hefty much?

I will have you know. I do have her on a diet, I walk her an hour every day, and I’ve had her thyroid checked. I really just don’t know what else to tell you. She’s big-boned? “Healthy”? Of strong stock? The camera adds 40 pounds?

It is the way of our people.

It’s pretty obvious that there just aren’t enough pictures of cats on the internet. So when I went to my brother’s place for dinner the other night, I brought my camera, hoping to cajole Rick and his wife, Linda, into letting me put something on one of their four cats.
Cajole? Ha. […]
