get real

Animal Planet is planning to air a cat-version of Big Brother, filming cats as they compete in such daunting tasks as catching toy ice and purring. Oooh, sounds exciting (can you detect sarcasm over a blog?) Will they also have contests--who has the stinkiest litter? Who can get away from Wally when he chases you (survival of the fittest)? Who horks up the biggest furball?

Phhbt. They give cats a reality tv show and not ME? Sure I sleep at least 18 hours out of the day but 1) i'm exciting when I sleep (seriously. i snore, grunt, and bark AND sometimes I chase things in my sleep and 2) the other 6 hours are rockin', usually involving me finding ways to get food.

sunday snacks

i thought i'd share some pictures from the stupor bowl which did not go well in terms of the football but was excellent in gustatory terms there was chili, there was guac, and there were knucklebones!


here i am showing off my gristle munching skills.


my sis and i have perfected our techniques.


here i take a brief break to watch the puppy bowl. the puppies are cute but no corgadors. i have to chew my bone in front of the tv to distract my mawma. i fear her biological clock is ticking and she will bring home puppies.

here i am watching the big game! note on the screen the bears are up by a touchdown 30 seconds into the game. if only they had called it on account of rain right then...

puppy bowl bloggin

the puppy bowl has begun! i have not yet seen the tailgaiting. that's my favorite part of sports--the part where you sit around and eat and drink. in other words, my regular 9-5.

go puppies! i hope everyone boned up on the players before hand so they can keep score! oh, i slay myself.

puppy bowl!

one of the best parts of the super bowl is the puppy bowl on animal planet! it is exactly what it sounds like--they put a bunch of puppies in an enclosed space and tape it. and play it with elevator music in the background, interrupted only by the occasional "penalty" when the ref has to come out and clean up the mess. hee! you can see the roster here no corgi mixes this year, though i'm sure that's because the corgador DOMINATED the first puppy bowl.

the guys on the right are gypsy and milo, boo-dogs of the english and french persuasion, respectively. they will be in the mix. i included them because they make me think of the world's greatest boo-dog, studly dudley. sigh.

ugliest dog competition

i spent this afternoon watching the world's ugliest dog contest on animal planet. most of the dogs were hairless. know what else is hairless and ugly? naked apes. and yet you don't let us have an ugliest naked ape contest. you can vote for your favorite (least favorite?) here. and you can read their stories here. (haha. iput my sister on there because everyone says how pretty she is. what's pretty about long legs and pointy noses? big heads rule!)

i don't appreciate the naked apes laughing at us so i think we should have an "ugliest human" competition. please submit nominees.
