I Like Pet Bums and I Cannot Lie

Actually, I just did. It would be more accurate to state that I used to love pet behinds until this contest. I know, I know, I was asking for it, back to back contests. . . butt my work is done. Yours is just beginning.

We got plenty to chose from:

Big tushies, small tushies, chunky, or scrawny,
designer dog and confused dog hineys too,
cows, dogs, and cats,
from the most artistic to the present-offering bums,
muscular and athletic, to poor and pathetic,
long tails, curly tails, and no tails too . . .
Bottom line: It's all up to YOU!

I opted to do a public vote again for two reasons: a. the entries were extraordinary and b. the Clean+Green free giveaways are pawesome. How can a teacup chihuahua make such a momentous decision?

You can view all the entries by clicking at the tab labeled Pet Photo Contest: Furry Tails at the top of this page. You can vote up to five times on the sidebar.

I would like to wish all the entrants best of luck and may the best hineys win!

And if anybody was expecting a post from me today... for pizzle's sake, not a chance! BOL

Toilet Dog Bowl Needs A Hand

I recently discovered an amazing new dog product. It's the hand-shaped dog leash! There are many kinds of dog leashes in the market: nylon, leather, braided, colorful, retractable, flexi, hemp . . . but a hand-shaped one? I'd never seen one before, so let me share a product stock photo:

The hand-shaped dog leash

aka

"The Hand"

A new movie based on a Steven King novel

What I'm really curious about is, what did the creators of the hand-shaped dog leash have in mind? Other than the fact that it's really hand-y.

Ten Top Hypothetical uses for the hand-shaped dog leash

 1. Lack of boyfriend or girlfriend

 2. Missing human contact

 3. Dog walking and simultaneous back scratching

 4. Fear of germs on actual leash?

 5. Needed another hand to match the one sticking out of the back of the car trunk

 6. Neighborhood burglar who doesn't want to leave fingerprints

 7. Someone who keeps misplacing their dog leash and need a hand finding it

 8. Easier to scratch dog owner's hiney with while walking the dog

 9. The dog walker is Captain Hook

10. A mess free hand ... (Deleted by blog owner because it was R-rated)

Miscelanious Hand-Shaped Dog Leash Uses

The better to push the dog stroller with

A nice stroll in Venice

Especially "handy" for tall people

I'm sure I'm going to get comments full of insightful and comical potential hand-shaped dog leash uses, but beat this one:

The Hand was created to better flush the . . .

Toilet Dog Bowl

The Hand: "Allow me to flush it for you, young master."

This concludes today's post about The Hand.

PS: If you need a hands free dog leash, simply remove The Hand.

Chihuahua Pictures | Pet Photo Contest In Progress

Junior, the baby chihuahua rescue, the tiny dog that is half my size and five times smaller than my brindle chiweenie sissy, spent the day at my house yesterday. M got enough photos to post on our blog for the rest of the year. Since Junior's got such a warm response, I'll share many of M's chihuahua pictures in the days to come. He's irresistible! Believe me when I tell you, even our cats liked the little guy, and that says a lot!
Before I share the pictures, my apologies to Tank. The rule is that none of my family members may enter. Since Junior is sadly not my pack-mate, his entry is valid. Sorry Tank, but you should know that disheveled or not you're adorable yourself.

A Baby Bro For The Rhodesian Ridgeback Sibs

Hear ye, hear ye! Our beauteous and bodacious super-sized rhodie friends, are fostering a new baby brother. I shall temporarily refer to him as Junior--until the rhodies or his forever home decide on his final name.
Before I bombard you with Junior photos, allow me to share some stats with you.

Hank: male rhodesian ridgeback, age 4, weight 95lbs
Sue: female rhodesian ridgeback, age 4, weight 93lbs
Junior: most likely chihuahua, just over 4 weeks, weight 2lbs.

Does anybody else see anything wrong with this picture or is it just me, Twinkie? For the record, I, Twinkie, a 4-pound teacup chihuahua, am really excited to be in the company of somebody who weighs half as much as I do. I hope M adopts him and he becomes mine, all mine. I didn't even dare dream of such possibility, but as I've said over and over in the past, life is good for this rescue dog, and life will be equally good for the new chihuahua rescue, Junior.

With no further ado, I would like to present to you, JUNIOR!

 Junior upon arrival.

A few minutes later, the yellow towel was pooped on.

 Perhaps this is why Junior pooped on his yellow towel.

 He seems to be hard of hearing (BOL)

 He is a good eater and quite polite too. He made sure his ears didn't touch his food. 

 Isn't he adorable?

 I have even more exciting news to share. Junior would like to participate in "Furry Tails", our latest Pet Photo Contest.

 Potential contest entry

 Good luck, Junior, we all welcome you with open arms and hearts!

White House Security Breach

Third Couple Meet Obama Without Invitation

Twinkie and Frankie Van Twinkerson, Democrat supporters from California, were ushered into an invitation-only veterans breakfast with Barack and Michelle Obama after mistakenly turning up a day early for a tour of the grounds.

Unlike Tareq and Michaele Salahi, a Virginia couple who gatecrashed a White House dinner, and the Dardens' breach of protocol on Veterans' Day, Twinkie, a teacup chihuahua, and Frankie, a strange looking brindle chiweenie (there are all sorts of "interesting" looking and sounding designer dogs) claim it was not intentional on their part.
The pair said they grew increasingly mystified as they were ushered into the awesome depths of the building, but their concerns were brushed aside by officials. "We only wanted to meet Bo, another rescue dog," Twinkie barked out. "We're huge fans of Bo's blog," Frankie later added.
The White House claimed that the Van Twinkersons had been allowed into the breakfast after going through security screening as a "nice gesture" after they arrived on the wrong day for their tour.
However, the furry couple said there was no evidence that officials or the Secret Service had realized they were not on the guest list.
Ms Twinkie, age 4, a retired advice columnist, said she and her brindle  pack-mate were never told about the breakfast. "We prefer dog food, anyhow," Ms Twinkie insisted.
They believed they were simply starting their tour until they were ushered into the East Room, offered a buffet spread and told they would be meeting the president.
"The further we got into the White House, the more surprised we were," she said. "Frankie looked at me, and I looked at her, and I said, 'You know, I don't know if we're in the right place. But we were both too tiny to push our way out of there"'. When they approached a White House aide to suggest they had veered off course they were told to "just go with the flow".
"I felt kind of funny because I was the only teacup chihuahua in the room that wasn't dressed in a formal gown. I was just a plain tourist, wearing my everyday dog collar."
She said security officials had realized they were not on the list but, while their identity was being checked, they were ushered inside and joined 200 guests for a buffet breakfast. "Needless to say, the food wasn't as good as our homemade dog treats, but it was yummy!"
Another official told Ms Twinkie it was an event for vets, and, after learning Ms Twinkie and Ms Frankie had their own dog vet, he suggested they stayed.
A White House spokesman said it is not unusual for staff to take small dogs who are cleared in for tours to other events if there is space, including Marine One arrivals, East Room events and Rose Garden ceremonies.

White House officials have had to explain how a third couple managed to get inside President Barack Obama's residence for an official event without an invitation.

"They were so cute! They also promised we could enter our dogs in the Furry Tails pet photo contest," was one of the officials' responses.

America's most infamous unwanted guests showed up on NBC's Today Show.

We honesty just wanted to meet Bo and go on a dog hike, the couple insisted.

Ultimately, both Frankie and Twinkie were totally forgiven. They were also given the White House Frequent Visitor Badge

The California belles were beaming as they accepted their badge. "We were invited, not crashers. In any case, we will not be pressing any charges. My sissy and I are so glad everything's finally cleared and we can be good furiends with Bo," said Ms. Twinkie.
