This is the only acceptable use of the term, and you can understand the peril that the dog finds himself in.

Here’s a clue that you are a cat person…

Here’s looking at you, Mooselini!

This doggie speaks for me.

Did the rapture happen?

Posted by Tengrain Saturday, May 21st, 2011

I’m guessing it did, because doggies giving cats scooter rides (and more importantly cats letting them) seems other-worldly.

This should be an Olympic sport

As Scissorhead GRS said, Let’s see a cat do that.

Anyway, the entire article is worth a read. There’s a picture of a dog-hero on each page, and, you know, its human.

Oh, man, this I must go see.

Because we need some good news

Posted by Tengrain Monday, April 4th, 2011

A dog which has been rescued at sea off the coast of Kesennuma, Japan, was reunited with the owner on Monday more than three weeks after being washed away by the killer tsunami triggered by the March 11 earthquake. Japanese broadcaster NTV aired images of the reunion with the woman hugging Ban and the dog warmly wagging her tail. The dog was rescued on Friday after being found drifting on a roof.

Yay for Ban!

Got a great beat and you can fetch to it

Dogboarding from DANIELS on Vimeo.

No dogs were harmed in making this video, but I must admit I worry that some nitwit is actually going to try this.

Dont’ forget Japan’s animals

Posted by Tengrain Monday, March 14th, 2011

You can help save Japan’s pets, too, and they are always forgotten whenever there is a crisis.

Reading Lists

Posted by Texas Betsy Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Texteen and I went out this afternoon to get some errands done and to spend some of our gift cards from Chanukah.  One of my tutoring families had given me a card for Half-Price-Books and that was our first stop.

The difference between the types of books we each chose has me wondering if I’ve done a great job with him or if I’ve just become shallow myself.

Three notes:

  1. He spent less than I did, even on a per-book basis. (I bought four.)
  2. He doesn’t need this book for school, but he is in philosophy club and thought it would be a cool read.
  3. This isn’t even the most shallow of the books I bough.

What are the rest of the scissorheads reading in 2011?

Make the Best Use of Old Phone Books

Posted by Texas Betsy Friday, December 31st, 2010

The recycling contractor our apartment complex uses will accept newspaper, but not cardboard or phone books. So, I could drive all over town dropping our paper-wasting phone books in city recycling bins at the ends of people’s driveways …. or ….

Maybe I can find a local phone book artist who creates amazing sculpture like these:

Why didn’t I think of this first? You’d think with all the complaining and moaning I do about pundits I would have been all over this years ago. I’m so ashamed.

Anyway, lots more here.
