Okay, so I know that this clip is basically everywhere right now. However, given that it exemplifies puns and song parodies at their finest, I just had to share it here too:

A night at the Pupsbury
I’m in a musical mood this week. On Sunday, I had the pleasure of seeing Tristan Prettyman and Anya Marina in concert. Are you a fan? You should be. For real. (They each have many fantastic songs, but one treat we got at the live show was the two of them taking the stage together to sing this funny song about Lindsey Lohan. It’s been stuck in my head ever since, along with many of the other tunes.)
My friend M is a fan, and she got me addicted. Now it’s my turn to pass that addiction on to you. Use it wisely.
Anyway, in spite of the fact that we set the clocks forward an hour and I’m still adjusting to the schedule change, I’ve been feeling pretty good this week. (As an aside, I love Daylight Savings time and welcome it with open arms. I wish that we just stayed on DST all year.) I think it’s because I’ve been starting each morning off with fantastic tunes. Music soothes the savage beast, right? I guess it soothes me too.
Although the video below does not contain one of the songs I use to pump myself up in the morning, it’s possible that I do look something like this dog to colleagues who happen to pass by my door in the early morning hours…
If that song is now stuck in your head, I apologize. Go discover some new Tristan and Anya tunes instead. (See, I’m such a pusher!)
Ruffing awesome? You bet.
Hark! The Puppies are Playing
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 adult and child.
Playful, all these puppies try
To unwrap the gifts that you did buy.
Unaunted they will try again,
Until your Christmas feasting ends.
Hark! the puppies are playing,
Their cuteness will make your heart sing.

Dog carols: Here We Come a Sniff-Sniffing & Deck the Bowls
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 have seen.
Food and treats come to you,
And to you your rope bone too.
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup this new year,
And dog send you a pup this new year.
Dog bless the family in this house,
Dog bless the felines too.
Should you get a dog this year,
Rescue’s the thing to do.
Love and snuggles come to you,
And some puppy kisses too,
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup so very dear,
And dog send you a pup so very dear.
Deck the Bowls
Deck the bowls with lots of food,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Share your dinner or else you are rude,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our eating poses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don’t ignore our furry noses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Set some full food bowls before us,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll thank you with a barking chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Eating gives us so much pleasure,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Today, our intake do not measure.
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We can smell the feast a-cooking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll steal the ham when you aren’t looking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Either way we’ll feel like winners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
As we’ll have eaten five full dinners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Apparently, I’m not the only one in the mood for caroldies today. Stop by Something Wagging This Way Comes to learn the lyrics to Here Comes Puppy Dog, The 12 Days of Christmas (puppy version), and I Walked the Dog on Christmas Day.

Adorable Combat: Cat vs. Tree
If you are a long-time reader, you may know that I love caroldies. (For the uninitiated, that’s a parody of a Christmas carol.) So, I can’t let a season pass without sharing a few new ones with you. Today?
I Saw Three Cats
I saw three cats come walking in,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
I saw three cats come walking in,
On Christmas day in the morning.
And what was in their mouths, dear me,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
And what was in their mouths, dear me,
On Christmas day in the morning?
A portion of my Christmas tree,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
I feared the worst was soon to be,
On Christmas day in the morning.
The living room was a sight to see,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
They’d opened the presents and knocked down the tree,
On Christmas day in the morning.
Seriously though – it’s better to have your cat knock down the tree in the following video than a real one. Consider making it cat-proof.

Paw Night Long
Yesterday, I promised you some Saturday Night Links. It’s time for me to deliver…
- First up, your punny pet names: Nigel Lythgrowle and Whinin’ L. Richie. (Also, enjoy this bonus punny action and the next installment of my continuing Lionel Richie obsession.)
- Speaking of puns (because I always am), I’m loving these street fliers… pages and pages of tearable puns!
- Possible new reality show: So You Think You Can See Puppies at a Dance Festival.
- It’s time for some pretty – enjoy these Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners.
- You know what else you need today? Puppies playing. You’re welcome.
- I bet this cat has some pointers on how to pick up chicks. Once you’ve mastered the art of the pickup, these dogs will teach you to take your date for a drive.
As always, we end with a video. With all apologies to Jewel, this video was meant for me, and I was meant for it.
Dancing Dog – watch more funny videos
PuGyver: He can fix anything!
It’s time for some Friday linkage… but first, I have a special treat to share with you. I’m honored to have a guest post on Grouchy Puppy today. It’s called “5 Things You Shouldn’t Say to a Senior Dog Owner” – head over there and check it out!
Now, to the links:
- This week’s punny pet name: Digmund Freud (or Sighound Freud).
- You know I love Henri the cat – and now he’s back with a message for this political season. (Includes the phrase “castration without representation” – how could you resist?)
- I am unable to resist a good English major joke. And a good catch phrase.
- Did you catch the series on Freud and Fido over at Freud’s Butcher? Some very interesting stuff.
- Is your dog is a paradox too?
- These paintings of Darth Vader and other villains cuddling bunnies are awesome.
- A Nutella food truck? I want to go to there. Like right now.
- Cookie Monster and Grover parody some recent movies and TV shows. My inner child rejoices. Does yours?
- I just can’t stop… it’s TV theme songs galore! They’re all stuck in my head now, but it’s worth it.
Continuing on the TV theme song theme (yup, I said it), I’m sure you’ll understand why I couldn’t resist sharing today’s video:
Punny!
(Bonus TV theme song – last week, I shared the Game of Thrones theme sung by a cat. In the interest of equal time, here’s a canine version.)
Make of our paws one paw…
I’m using the term “paw” quite loosely here, as you’ll see…
First, I’m happy to tell you that (currently) the knots in my stomach have loosened a little. I’m still not back to normal, but I think I’m taking steps in that direction.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled linkage. Today’s theme? Odd couples.
- Your punny pet names: Mutt Abbott and Mew Costello. (Or, if you prefer: Bud Rabbit and Lou Dogstello. Also, here’s a bonus pun for you.)
- You guys. This dog and cheetah are just… Internet, you have outdone yourself.
- In other spot-related news, can someone please explain to me why this piglet looks so much like the aforementioned cheetah?
- Apparently baa-baa-bird is now the word.
- Speaking of things I’ve heard, it seems that chicks really dig cats. (I’m officially declaring this one a trend. You know, because I have authority to do that.)
- Crabs: friends or toys that don’t require batteries? You be the judge.
- This bunny, lion & dog trio are just too much to handle. (But are they Super Golden Friends? We may never know.)
- Next movie pitch: The Fawn & the Hound. (This time, I demand a happy ending.)
- Finally, I’m also a sucker for a good game of tug. This one’s pretty fun.
I chose today’s featured video in large part due to the commenter who referred to them as Rovermeo & Gentooliet. (Also, due to the commenter who made up a punny song about it.) I’m not going to lie, I’m somewhat confused as to how this scene occurred and I’m not about to suggest these two actually get to hang out, but still…
So there you have it… happy Friday! (Unrelated Friday the 13th link: in spite of my rural upbringing, this one is so me.) I hope I’ve made up for last week’s hiatus!
