Did you really think I would let a holiday season pass by without sending some new caroldies your way? Perish the thought. A Game Upon the Midnight Clear It came upon a midnight clear, That canine… ‘Tis the season (for another canine Christmas carol)
Disclaimer: Tavish does not endorse, nor does he appreciate, the “humor” of this post. I was recently reminded of a particular caroldy that I began in the comments over at Something Wagging a few years… Walking in a Neutered Wonderland
I hope you’ve been good* this year. Tavish Claus has been watching. Tavish Claus is Coming to Town You shouldn’t go out. You better not lie. You better stay home. I’m telling you why. Tavish… He sees you when you’re eating…
This month, wordless Wednesdays will be extremely wordy… are you ready for the return of caroldies? They’re something of an annual tradition around these parts… Bark! the Begging Canines Sing “Bark!” The begging canines sing “Glory… Doggie style Christmas carols return!
Today, on the last day of the year, I’m taking the totally original approach of reflecting on 2013. I don’t see a lot of this out there, which I find surprising – I mean, you’d think it would be a natural fit. I can only hope that my trailblazing example will inspire more reflection in the future as one year passes the torch to the next.
Sarcasm duly noted? Good. Because I know every website on Earth (and perhaps Mars?) is doing the same thing… and I don’t care. Nostalgia is my absolute favorite kind of -algia, and I finally put down a deposit on a nice little bungalow on Memory Lane. (It just makes good financial sense.) Let the reflecting begin!In 2013, you wanted more puppies, more puns, and… more cats?
Fuzzy dog noses and whiskers on kittens. Lighthearted musings and blog posts that are written. The Pet Blogger’s Gift Exchange and all that it brings. These are a few of my favorite things.
Seriously, those are some of my favorite things. Especially the Pet Blogger’s Gift Exchange, which is happening right now (and which I’m honored to be co-hosting alongside the founding blog, Something Wagging This Way Comes). The PBGE (if you’ll allow me the acronym) is, to put it bluntly, magical. Instead of worrying about shopping malls and spending money, pet bloggers give each other the gift of encouragement and blog love. What could be better?
Cream colored puppies and bloggers with poodles. Bulldogs and Great Danes and four Goldendoodles. Greyhounds that snooze while a Beagle howl-sings. These are my favorite things.
This year, I’ve been paired up with Laura from The Puppy Tails. (Love the blog name, right?) I’m still working on my gift, but in the meantime I encourage you to stop by her blog and say hi. (And follow her on Twitter. She’s awesome, you guys. And her dogs are insanely cute. Insanely.)
Cats in white sweaters with protesting scratches. Dog hair that stays on my nose and eyelashes. Brown and white furballs and birds on the wing. These are my favorite things.
Have you signed up yet? If not, what are you waiting for? (If you still need convincing, please see this unassailable argument in favor of participating. I may be biased about the persuasiveness of that post, however.) You can sign up until December 20.
When the dog whines, when my spirit won’t lift, When I’m feeling sad, I think of the pet bloggers exchanging a gift, And then I don’t feel so bad.
Need some inspiration? Check out the gifts that are already under the PBGE tree:
That’s right, I’m referencing a Charlie Sheen movie from 1993. What of it?
Anyway, it’s time for another caroldy installment. After all, caroldies are the reason for the season (or so I’ve heard). First, I’d like to share my new favorite caroldy, composed by Kristine from Rescued Insanity. She gave Wham’s Last Christmas the caroldy treatment, and it is amazing and awesome. Go read it.
(Wham!’s? How the heck do I make a band name ending in an exclamation point possessive? Oh, grammar gods, I need your help.)
Up next, a few caroldies shared in the comments last week. Canine Christmas carols, part deux
You know, I almost used this post title in the past. However, I chickened out. This year, I’m chickening in instead. (Is that the opposite of chickening out?) In any event, I thought I’d kick… Christmas carols, doggie style
Today, I have yet another caroldy (and an adorable video) for you. Enjoy! Hark! The Puppies are Playing Hark! The puppies are playing, With balls and other squeaky things! Fuzzy puppies running wild, Bring joy to each… Hark! The Puppies are Playing
It’s time for some more caroldies! Let’s twist some new tunes today… Here We Come A-Sniff Sniffing Here we come a-sniff sniffing Among the yards so green. Here we come a-tracking The squirrels that we… Dog carols: Here We Come a Sniff-Sniffing & Deck the Bowls
