July ends

The dog days of summer soon will fade into the countdown to Labor Day. The dog will soon have every weekend filled with "cram into summer" before it's gone activities.

Chasing tail

Fun for no reason is the definition of chasing the dog tail. Is there a simpler way to have fun as a dog? Yes.

New product

Under Armour for dogs could be called Underdogmour!

One thing

One thing a dog can forever do without: Lanyards. If the dog has a ticket they will put it in their pocket not drape it around their neck in plastic.

If dogs...

If dogs worked on the railroad all the live long day they would have very different way to pass the time away other than laying down and waiting for a meal. They would also live at the Shady Rest at the junction, Petticoat Junction.  Favorite part of Petticoat Junction - references to Hooterville!  Green Acres is the place to be!

Pier review

One thing dogs missed is the story of Larry King. They wouldn't know that Larry was the voice of midnight talk radio when it was a form of legitimate entertainment, not the diatribe rhetoric of today's conservative block heads.   King as an interviewer, was solid, yes, not as good as the current leader at the clubhouse turn (John Stewart) but close.   So the dogs don't know Larry goes onto a million shows on CNN then hangs it up like a retiring school teacher, smiling on the way out, loved the kids but glad to go. Now Piers Morgan is in the King seat and it is unknown to a pup but it just isn't the same. It's like a dead patch in a nice lawn, odd and out of place, 9 p.m. CNN = Larry time, no more.  The dog just gets his nightly drink at this time and curls up with a good spot on the couch.

Kayak desires

That dog on the floor has no aspirations of kayaking.  People are flocking to these plastic vessels like they are moon rocks circa 1969.  A kayak for dogs would be an engineering feat.  It would have four slots in the cockpit for dog feet and paws would extend through water-tight openings allowing paddling to happen doggie-style.
