Pet Monologues

PM has not had pet products posted for quite a while.

For the chicken-lovin golfer in your family — or the golfer who won’t drive it across the water hazzard, the perfect gift(s)

Off topic: I am killing time, waiting for a client to give me the go-ahead. Idle mind, idle fingers. This is what it gets you…

note: PM did demonstrate one-upsmanship via bigger is better And, if you do indeed fetish chickens you might check these links…
are you calling me chicken?
chicken bones are evil
artist draws baby chickens progress daily
you don’t deserve chicken

Does a bear shit in the woods? Here is more documentation that supports this notion…

No, that is not a typo in the headline. Read on…

NEW YORK––The bride was radiant. Some guests said it was the sunlight bouncing off her cascading white chiffon veil; others commented that it was a “pregnancy glow,” because Ashley Nunn was carrying octuplets. The groom’s excitement was visible: Buddy Lewinski drooled and wagged his tail vigorously as he waited for his bride to reach the altar.

Ashley, a blackmouth cur mix, and Buddy, a tri-color beagle, were married in Katy, Texas, in 2002 by Rev. Lynn Turner, a licensed minister who marries both pets and people (although not to each other). These unions, called “Bow-wow vows,” are on the rise in the United States and are often accompanied by a cadre of professionals, such as pet marriage counselors, pet wedding planners, pet caterers, pet trainers and pet priests.

“Holy Muttrimonies, Bark Mitzvahs and pet ceremonies in general have really started taking off,” said Diana Guerrero, animal behavior expert and pet-trend watcher. “People treat their pets like their own children. Sheltering organizations, church leadership, party planners are saying, ‘Holy hot dog! Here’s all these people with pets and they’re spending a lot of money, let’s welcome them in.’ ” Read the rest of this entry »

we are currently looking for the training video.

note: squirrel(s) did not get hurt—looks like same guy to us.

I had a month to put together a post on animal clothing. Not to write the story but to get the photos. Oddly enough it seemed easy enough. That’s because ever since our excursion to South Beach several months ago, where there are no naked animals, it’s clearly obvious that animal fashion is big.

Researched “hundreds” of photos and sadly, could only select four. Maybe you can find some that merit more exposure. Please.

If you are going to dress up, this is tasteful. This gets a thumbs up.

This is not a dog. I know this person. It’s aunty Martha. Only two years and she’s come back.

If you are going to dress up are you going to dress up like Bozo the Clown? No. This is a thumbs up.

Why aren’t there more cats dressing up? They would always do it right.
A thumbs up.

I am not sure when this phenom happened. Maybe it was always this way and I didn’t notice it. One thing for sure, the pet stores have morphed into something new. Not the big box stores, but the mom and pop’s, as smaller stores were once called. But that’s another storyline. Enter the pet boutique. They look like Filene’s Basement, Bloomingdales, Victoria Secret, or The Pleasure Chest (an adult clothing-apparatus store in our hood.)

Two very smart squirrels. One very crazy rube goldberg obstacle course.

Equally wild are people who concoct these…happenings. The cat’s house is pretty wild. I guess it’s no different than electric trains going from room to room. One train build-out went from kitchen to family room. The train delivers beer and pretzels.

This is not a sneak preview. But then again, I never saw this movie before and it is too incredible. This must be a Disney movie, right?

A new meaning to rescue, right? This one makes you think. right? BTW—just saw the movie “Ratatouille” and when you think about that—disgusting.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today:
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then –
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds –
your foot just squashed one.

You’re always typing.
Well, let’s see you ignore my
sitting on your hands. Read the rest of this entry »
