Only my dog would get this much joy out of having a tire around her head:
Until recently, this was her last ditch toy. The very bottom of the barrel. The crappiest of all toys, the one she would briefly consider, when sniffing through her toy basket, and then dismiss, even when there would be absolutely nothing else in there because I have yet to teach her how to put away her toys. Balance treat on nose? Check. Put away all her damn toys, rather than having them strewn about the house? Grumble grumble no.
Her nose was jammed in there, so we tried to wrestle it away from her, but she shoved her face in there like this every time:
Internet? Get a dog. You will find hours of senseless entertainment.

Hahaha! Oh Nelle! What a cutie! Animals are the best entertainment ever! Maisey has this new thing where she likes to watch Scott get dressed in the morning while he sings to her. It’s so cute. As he sings, she purrs and makes squinty eyes at him. This morning he was singing over and over to her, “She’s a lovebug girl!” And she loved it. Then I tried to sing it to her and she got all offended, acting like, “You aren’t My Guy (that’s what we call Scott in reference to Maisey) and you can’t sing that to me!” So I sang the song I made up for her and she got all spastic happy. I guess our cat only allows us to sing the songs that we originally make up for her. By the way, mine goes (because I know you are dying to know), “Maisey, she is the cutest cat! Maisey! Don’t you dare call her fat! Her name is Maisey, she is not lazy. She’s our pretty Maisey girl!” Animals, they are the best!

I don’t know you Amber…but the fact that you make up and sing songs to your cat makes me love you! My hubby and I do the same thing, and I thought we might be a tad crazy…bu they seem to love it, and I love it too :)
T, I can’t wait to meet Nelle one of these days :)

Carolyn, well I love anyone who makes up and sings to their cat too!! I am so glad to hear that we aren’t the only ones who do that too because there are times when I am all, “Would others consider this straight jacket material?” But I think a lot of pet owners do these types of crazy fun things with their animals. I think it’s only the non-pet people that would think we are nuts. Oh how little they know and how much they are missing out!

Your dog is so cute! My pup looks the same. He is also an endless source of amusement!

Watching Mau back away very slowly from bubbles, like he thinks they’ll steal his soul, is also an endless source of amusement.

Amber – I love that you admit that sort of thing. It’s like reassurance that I love you, and gives me more reasons to appreciate you.
Caro – You would love Amber. I just know it. You’re both fun people. Amber is kind and in love with Obama and has raised what seems to be one of the most uniquely level-headed kids I’ve ever heard of. Speaks volumes about her, the nature of their relationship. Oooh, I love it when friends of mine like each other!
Amber – You would love Carolyn, she is a hoot! She isn’t shy, is warm and welcoming, and has the most contagious laugh on the planet. She’s the kind of person you want to know.
Kate – Hiya! What does your pup do? I love animals. They don’t even know how much fun they are, but they’re so happy and unconditional about their love.
Veaj – Hehehehehhehehehe, I can see that. I can see the suspicious look he would give them in my mind’s eye. Haaaaaaa.
