Staff Writer — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:22:11 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

Watch These Lazy Dogs Getting Dragged Across the Floor — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:19:08 +0000

[onescreen item="5059780"] Sometimes a dog just doesn’t feel like it. Feel like what, exactly? Anything. So he just lies there, on the ground, and if you want him to move, well, good luck with that. Okay, it’s not always laziness. Sometimes getting dragged can be a really great back-scratcher. And we imagine it can be [...]

And it’s not only our feline friends who loathe the idea of getting dunked into soapy water. Rather than willingly submit to the utter torture of bath time, quite a [...]

Staff Writer — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:19:03 +0000

[onescreen item="5008413"] Never seen a Scottish terrier puppy pinwheel? It’s a mesmerizing sight. “Why don’t they stop walking, and just stand and drink?” you might ask. But that would be missing the point entirely. Once one of them starts moving as he drinks, the other five must then do the same. And round and round they [...]

'Happier Than a Dog in a Kiddie Swing' Should Be a New Expression [VIDEO]

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:42:21 +0000

A dog in a kiddie swing is as happy as a pig in the mud, or a clam at high tide, or a flea in a doghouse.

That’s how happy this corgi pup is. The animal is simply trying to find his child within, and makes us want to do the same. Of course, that would be a really bad idea as we would probably get stuck, so maybe we could just find a hammock.

Looking For An Fitness Program? Get A Dog

Chris Allen — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:31:59 +0000

To me, it's kind of funny. I fall in to this category. I won't go out and get a gym pass or go for a walk on my own, but I will take the dog for a walk. Projecting myself into the dog.
Experts say studies show dog owners walk more, walk faster, and are more likely to enjoy an active lifestyle because of their companion animal

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:12:17 +0000

Apparently, this golden retriever howls along every time the daughter of the house practices her saxophone. The results aren’t exactly John Coltrane and Billie Holiday, but it’s not so bad for inter-species jazz.

Corgi Puppy Tries to Sleep Through the Hiccups [VIDEO]

Shauna Wright — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:35:25 +0000

It’s hard to be a puppy. All that cuteness and people always cooing “awwww!” at you and having little puppy paws that make many folks just want to eat you up.

Sometimes you simply have to take a nap to escape it all. So you cuddle into a warm lap, and what happens? You get the hiccups. And then your humans think you’re even more adorable, so they grab a camera and film the whole thing and put it on the internet.

Jordan Breindel — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:28:22 +0000

As Della Reese once said in the 1996 Martin Lawrence classic of the same name, “It’s a thin line between love and hate.” Mackie the Boston Terrier clearly has some strong feeling about being tickled, but whether “Please sir, may I have another?” or “If you touch me again, I’m going to explode” is up for interpretation. Either way, it manifests itself with a series of delightful facial expressions the Mackie’s owner caught on camera:
