    Aw, let the poor puppy lie down…

    I know how he feels; I woke up super early the last couple days. Today I didn’t but I could barely get out of bed in time to log on to work, so clearly one full night wasn’t enough…thankfully I work from home today so rolling out of bed at 7:55 wasn’t a big deal.

    New We Walk Dogs…had never heard of this guy before until he was on a podcast I listen to recently.

    PS, I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve gotten a database connection error a few times, when I first opened the page and then when I posted my comment I had to reload a few times.

      Sorry about that! I’ve been tracking these incidents and they’re becoming more frequent. Apart from changing web hosts, there’s not much I can do.

    How do you weigh a fish?

    I knew about Betty White’s animal advocacy, but not Bob Barker’s. What a lovely story! I watched The Price is Right a lot as a kid but don’t remember the spay/neuter line.

      I remember the spay/neuter thing but I didn’t know about the fur coat ban and other stuff.

        That’s the coolest part of the story (that and inspiring Jackson Galaxy)! Good on him for speaking out against fur coats.

    Topher and his dog are hilarious! I love their stylish costumes.

    He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother. That would be such an interesting job weighing all the animals, going from an insect at grams to elephants coming in at tonnes. Greyhound had me cracking up, doggo is all legs and they go everywhere, including the right direction sometimes. Definitely living his best life. Can someone please just let the poor puppy lie down and take a nap?? Reminds me of me when I’m in a boring work meeting. I really should paint eyeballs on my eyelids so no one catches on I’m snoozing.

    Loved the greyhound Milo and the parrot Darwin. These pets have the most wonderful lives with the most wonderful families.
