The Daily Dog: press conference.

In light of recent allegations involving Sunny Lucas being deeply involved in an illegal squirrel-fighting ring, the press descended on her Texas home Friday, demanding answers. The ridgeback refused to cooperate, saying only that she could neither confirm nor deny a lifelong hatred for all varmint-type creatures. After muttering something under her breath […]

The Daily Dog: all shall love me and despair!

In case you didn’t manage to get through the 200+ comments on that other post debating the very existence of God, you might have missed where David Colborne crafted the most brilliant, moving, timely, appropriate, meaning-frought, and profound prayer ever written. Just my opinion. I hath named it…The Blogger’s Prayer:
There is no God. […]

The Daily Dog: religion.

People are always seeing the Virgin Mary in tree bark and oil stains, why not in a Ridgeback? I mean no blaspheme. I’m just saying.
Speaking of, it may interest some of you to know that I just finished reading ‘Mere Christianity’ by C.S. Lewis. John Hawkins sent it off my Amazon Wish […]

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: brooch-head.

I am so glad it’s Friday that I could almost cry. So here is a picture of a dog with a butterfly pin on her head.

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 Daily Dog: Birthday loot.

Man, I wish my birthday was more often than once a year. I’ll make it officially so when I become Leader.
I got most of the thank-you emails for donations finished up today, but I want to publicly thank all of you again. Also thanks to those who bought my Zazzle gear […]

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: Birthday edition.

Today is my birthday, I am now 36 years old, and I’m feeling pretty great about it. So is Maggie, and she’s also feeling pretty great about trying to help Sunny lose weight by simply biting off large chunks of fat.

P.S. Thank you VERY MUCH to everyone who’s bought something from […]

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 don’t even know what to call this one.

See, sometimes she does show some personality without food being involved. Not often. Rarely. Actually I think this is the only time.

The Daily Dog: Maggie misses Rupert.
Updated with sweetest LOLdog you have ever seen

I’m hoping “Rupert” doesn’t EVER SEE THIS POST. Because that is his hat. Granted, I’ve only ever seen him wear it the time we went tubing down a river last summer, but still. He has explicitly forbidden me to involve him in the dog dress-up in any way whatsoever. Actually I don’t […]

The Daily Dog: she really doesn’t mind.

So I put one of my Zazzle store shirts on Maggie the other night, took a few pictures of her, had a glass of wine, and then talked to Rupert on the phone for 45 minutes. About an hour after that, I heard Maggie snoring, which got my attention, and…yeah. I’d forgotten to […]

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 […]
