It’s been pretty dreary and rainy lately, and that’s got me thinking about comfort food. So… today’s No Frown Friday is food-related. (And pet-related, of course.)
- Your punny pet names for the week are inspired by famous chefs: Tom Colickio, Barko DiSpirito and Woofgang Puck. (Cat Cora needed no alterations. My favorite chef? The Swedish Chef, of course.)
- Check out this dog named Dumpling… eating a dumpling. Very meta.
- Quick math lesson: tiny kitten + tiny hat + tiny ice cream come = awesome commercial. (Congratulations! Simply by reading the preceding sentence, you’ve passed Cute Math 101.)
- Remember when Bella ate ice cream?
- Cats and dogs eating popsicles and peanut butter. (Serious Eats really has all of your needs covered when it comes to cute animals eating.)
Hmmm… not a lot of healthy foods in that list above. Might I recommend you stop by Gardening with Wyatt? The gorgeous photos of Wyatt the dog and the yummy food from his garden will inspire you to get that diet back on track. In addition to eating better, you’ll need to hit the treadmill:
No, not like that! Try it this way:

Seriously though, if your pet is overweight, that’s not a good thing. Bella’s had her battles with weight in the past, but on our vet’s advice we reduced the amount we were feeding her. These days she’s slim and trim. (Don’t get me wrong… she still licks the empty bowl – repeatedly – and looks at me forlornly when she finishes her meal. She’s like a canine Oliver Twist.)
Given her druthers, I’m sure Bella would eat until she couldn’t move. Luckily, our dogs have us to exercise self-control on their behalf – they can only eat what we feed them. (Unlike humans – the blame for that extra cookie is all mine.) Hope you have a happy and healthy weekend!
OMD! Dose kittehs were just too funny to watch and dose pups were just too darn cutes!
Woofs and Licks,

That was a fun post…but I'm hungry for some reason!
That is hilarious!!! Love the kitties hitting the treadmill…still laughing!!! The doggies really run!! The last time I saw one, I used it and about fell off!! Thanks for the fun!!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
Glad you enjoyed! Those cats were cracking me up.
We feel the way those cats do about the tread mill…it's a good thing to swat at! I think those Corgi dogs, are just trying to make the rest of us feel bad…BOL
