29 More Daffy Dog Photos from the Shoot During Which the UPS Man Laughed

But first, a familiar rhyme (altered somewhat) to set up the scene, which took place around he corner from my house, on Christmas Eve:

 Hey diddle diddle, there could've been a fiddle...
 In this setting, as could've been a raccoon.
But when the UPS man laughed to see such spectacle sport,
The husband (who was cajoled into feeding the dogs treats) nearly ran away in embarrassment. 

That last line could've rhymed a little bit better. Sorry, my bad. ☺

Also, it was worth every minute.

Also, you will see some of these photos again, possibly soon, with captions.

Enjoy!

LOOK! After I pressed publish in Blogger, I received a message from Google that this photo
 was auto-enhanced (in my Google photo albums) with SNOW. So, I replaced the original in this post. SO COOL!

And, in case anyone wants to know: Dewi's "trooper" hat came from Target (seasonal item in the pet section) and Jon Farleigh's camo antlers came from Dollar General (seasonal, in the people section - hehe).

"Tacky Cardigan With Words on It" (as opposed to those without words on them, like those appearing in this post) will resume next week.

(Vintage) Tacky Cardigan With Words on It: Ambivalence

Because classic cardigans are not tacky. 

So, did you know I was publishing "tacky" cardigans with words on them back in the olden days? Well, now you do. ;-)

Originally published on April 6, 2011 (and titled She's Conflicted.)...

Notes:

<> That is my cat Lulabelle's paw; she really does that (a lot).

<> I am the photographer. And that's some (amateurish) fancy focus editing. 

<> My cat Tigger uses her paw to drag her water bowl all over the floor, thereby making an enormous mess with sloshed water, before taking a drink.

<> My cat Maddox uses his front paws to dig an imaginary hole to China, directly in front of his water bowl, before taking a drink.

<> My kitten Bobby Flay stands on top of the raised water bowl stand, dunks his paw in the bowl and violently splashes water all over the kitchen floor, before taking a drink. He also gets in running showers.

<> My cat Bertie drops his pet (flat, plush) Goosie into his water bowl and watches it sink to the bottom, before flicking it sopping wet onto the counter and leaving it there for me to clean up.

<> My cat Eva drinks normally and otherwise detests getting wet. 

Conclusion: 83% of all house cats are ambivalent towards water. Use this information however you need to. :)

Classic Cardigan: The Time I Listened to Funkytown 100 Times and Captioned a Bunch of Dog Photos

Disclosure: I had a different post planned for today, BUT! I took too many pictures (to use in it) with my phone, clogged up my outbasket trying to email them to myself, and then froze up the Internet connection in my house trying to open the pics on my PC. Therefore, the post has been postponed to a date in the near future. Very near future. Meanwhile, please enjoy this (really old) classic!

I get a real kick reading through my early posts - my writing style, for one, has really evolved. It was pretty darn stiff back then, if I say so myself! But that's okay - I was trying really hard not to make a complete donkey of myself. Because who would want to read a donkey's blog? I thought.

Ironically, since my current writing style is to write like a donkey on purpose, I guess I really shouldn't have worried, huh? HEE HAW! (sorry about that; it slipped out.)

Please enjoy my first(?) attempt at Chronicles of Cardigan photo caption comedy, originally published on 2/24/2011...

Funkytown - The Dog Version

It's always a good morning when one of my kids manages to get grounded before leaving for school. Now when more than one kid gets grounded in one morning, well, that just makes me want to burst into a morning song! Today it was Funkytown (circa 1980, by Lipps Inc.).

Okay, okay, that didn't happen this morning. Nope, this did: two kids got grounded, after which, one called me a "meanie" and then plotted his revenge. So, how do you think a 7.5-year-old gets revenge on his "mean" mommy? Like this: he pops his Disney Dance Songs CD into the player buried beneath the fallout-he-calls-a-room, fast forwards the tracks to Funkytown, presses PLAY, then REPEAT, and then quietly gets into the car to be driven to school.

I'll admit the first few times I heard the tune playing from downstairs, I bopped my head along to the beat - who wouldn't? It was the, oh, 10th, 25th...100th time later that made me want to stab my eardrums out with chop sticks!          

So today, as an homage to Funkytown, here are a few pix of my funky corgis!

Give me the noms NOW!

Shooting for the Guinness World Record for longest

"I'z so tired."

Snow to Dogs = Catnip to Cats

She's crazy if she thinks I'm gonna bounce with these on.

Ouch

Not pooping in the rain, not no way, not no how.

This is your dog on sugar.

Happy Dog or Smiling Grinch???

Dewi to Kirby (his littermate):
"Dude. Hot Cavalier chick to your right."

Making a really good wish or constipated?

WhatCHU doin?

WhatCHU doin?  (jail bait edition)

[In the vet's parking lot.]
Dewi to Jon: "Hey, dude, how's my drivin?"
Jon to Dewi: "I think we're parked, man."

Jon Farleigh - upon seeing the humans
bring out the dog beer keg.

It Rhymes With 'Hump' Day: Stump

Note: There is more than one definition of stump. 

This is one of them:

I am stumped as to why Jon Farleigh is looking at me this way. hehe

And here is another:

All that's left of the dying oak tree across the street. Sad. 

And, yet, another:

Synonyms: nub, Roxi's extra fine booty*

Have a fine Wednesday, y'all!

Tune in next time when I rhyme "hump" with...??? ☺

*Cardigan Corgis also have extra fine booties, it's just that the Pembrokes' buns aren't as obstructed by poofy tails.

Trivia extra: For bragging rights, who can name the 75-year-old classic film, in which one of the stars (mis)quotes the Pythagorean theorem? And, who says it?

Tacky Cardigan With Words on It: Wine and Cheese

Don't hate me because this meme is shameful.

:-) (you know you want to)

Thank you to Taryn T., who took this photo, and generously offered it to me to caption. I heart her.
I also heart her dogs, Jimmy (the smeller) and Wilson (the cheese cutter), beyond measure.
