Movie Review: Big Miracle

It is time to give a movie review of Big Miracle. This movie starred Drew Barrymore, and John Krasinski (from "The Office"). This movie takes place in a small town in northern Alaska. Three gray whales get trapped by ice and can't get to the open sea due to the ice. A reporter who was in the town from Anchorage broke the story which captured the imagination of people all over the world. A lot of effort and money was spent to try to help the whales get to open sea. This dog wondered why they didn't just get the whales some scuba gear, but evidently, the humans didn't think of that. There were even a couple of teams of sled dogs in the film, and one very beautiful black and white dog with blue eyes (it was not me). I want that dog on a poster in my room-unless it is a male, and then, this sentence was never written. It was an excellent movie. I loved looking at all the ice and snow, and I think the people and dogs who live there are super lucky. Of course, my humans do not share my love of ice and snow, but I am a Siberian Husky and that is what we like. I was disappointed that the whales were not listed in the credits because, in my opinion, they were the actual stars of the movie. It would also have been nice if they had listed the dogs in the credits too. I would like to write a fan letter to that one dog. Anyway, I give the movie 4 paws up, a hyper wagging tail, kisses, and a kiss that knocks down the humans. This would be a 9 out of 10 on the human movie rating system, which is you ask me, makes so little sense. The dog rating system is superior, but then again, dogs are superior to the humans in every way!

Aporkolyspe Festival: Sounds Fun!

There is an Aporkolyspe Festival in New York tomorrow. Chefs will be given entire pigs that they will prepare in different ways for eating. It makes this dog's mouth water just thinking about all that delicious meat that will be available. They are also featuring many different craft beers that are made by small brewers. Personally, I don't care about the beer, but I would love to attend for the meat. Before you get your taste buds ready to rush to New York to the Festival, it is sold out. Yeah, I am bummed out over it. Just when a dog finds something interesting to do on a Saturday, you find that others who have known about it longer have already bought all available tickets. I'm not quite sure that my humans would have taken me to New York for a festival anyway, but a dog can hope. Anyway, maybe there will be one next year, and this dog will be watching because I think I could eat an entire pig myself. I just hope it isn't that Miss Piggy character because she seems nice. For those who want to find out more about this event, and hopefully, be watching for it next year if they have one, here is the web address:

Road Kill Cafe

Today I am writing about a cafe in Arizona which I have never been to personally, but I am choosing to write about it because I like to write about places that aren't the same everywhere you go. I think there are others who share my taste for the unusual so this blog is for those dogs. I have heard of the Road Kill Cafe. I've seen a menu and I've seen t-shirts with the name, but I thought it was just a joke. Imagine my surprise when I found that there really is a Road Kill Cafe in Arizona. Personally, as a dog, I find it pleasant not to have to go out and hunt varmints myself...it is so much nicer just to wait until a car hits the varmint and then...DINNER! I have to admit that I have never had road kill even though 2 deer have died in my yard thanks to cars, but my Mommy would not let me eat them. My humans wouldn't eat them either. Anyway, this cafe sounds like a fun place to visit, but knowing my humans, they probably would just stop by the general store and not eat there....yeah, they tend to be very undoglike in their thinking. For those who want to find out more about this super cool place, here is the web address:

If you go there, tell them Demon Flash Bandit sent you. I love saying that!

Bacon Festival--A Wonderful Event!

Today's blog is about an event in Des Moines, Iowa, called the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. This event occurred last Saturday and had all tickets sold out. This event sounds like a dream come true to me, and I'm sorry I missed it!!! I bet every dog in the world would have enjoyed attending the big bacon event. There were lectures about bacon, songs about bacon, and (I certainly hope) bacon for eating! I can't think of a better thing to have a festival over than bacon. Personally, I love bacon, and I could eat bacon morning, noon, and night. You would think that no one could find any fault with such a great event, but the "Bacon Police" (The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) had the nerve to try to put a damper on such fun by saying that bacon is bad for you. Yes, the baconistas!!! What do they know? I bet there isn't a dog among them! Besides, if bacon really is bad for the humans, why would the doctors not encourage the others to eat it? Are they trying to end up on the unemployment line? Doctors need sick people or they won't make money so you know that they would not be discouraging bacon if it really were bad for the humans. I suspect it is actually good for the humans and the doctors don't want the humans to know it. Thank goodness, we dogs know when the humans are scamming us, and we will continue to eat bacon--as much of it as we can get our paws on because bacon tastes good!!

Dog Gone Fishing

A dog gets bored doing the same thing everyday. Although I do enjoy my naps, sometimes a dog needs to get up and do something different which is why I decided to go fishing. Fishing is quiet, and you get to sit around on the shore or in a boat, and you hold a rod in your paw, and wait for a fish to bite the bait. Having learned a few things from experience, I plan to share those tips with my readers. First of all, do not use hamburgers as bait. I can't say that fish won't eat them, but why would you feed something tasty like that to the fish when you can eat them yourself? I would rather have a hamburger than fish anytime! Unless you are a dog who enjoys water, try not to fall into the water. Being wet is something that many dogs do not enjoy--including ones like myself who don't care for baths. Remember, just because you are "fishing" does not mean that you can't leave the rod temporarily if you see something interesting like a squirrel. Squirrels expect to be chased by a dog, and would have hurt feelings if you sat there fishing once you have spotted one. If you see a black and white cat with a stripe down its back, you can go home with an interesting smell which won't be appreciated by the humans. Don't worry about it. To a dog, a smell is a smell and all are interesting....chase the striped cat too. You can get back to the fishing when you are done with the chase. If anyone is playing ball in a nearby park, be sure and get involved, no self respecting dog can resist a game of ball. Chances are good that you will have a human with you anyway. Let them do the work of fishing. You are a dog and as such, should not be expected to work. I am going to share a link with you about a man who has taken his dog with him on fishing trips. Keep in mind that his veiwpoint is that of a human; and is therefore, stupid.

Aliens Shooting Down Evil Birds in Maryland!

In the past, I have written blogs about space aliens coming to Earth, but today I discovered an article in the Weekly World News that makes this dog feel good about the aliens. This article is about UFOs shooting down birds in Maryland. As a dog who has warned the humans many times about birds and their evil plot to take over the planet, it made this dog feel good to see that the birds are not fooling the aliens any, and the aliens are taking action against the evil birds. The humans may not be intelligent enough to see through the birds evil plans, but thankfully, the aliens are an advanced civilization that understand that birds need to die. Obviously, these are good aliens who are watching out for us "Earthlings" because they know that the human Earthlings don't have enough sense to watch out for themselves. I'd like to thank the aliens for getting rid of so many annoying birds. We dogs appreciate your efforts. For those who would like to read the article in the Weekly World News, here is the link:

I Scored a Snickerdoodle Cookie

Today's blog is for the adventurous dogs like myself who know how to go after what they want. I was doing some counter surfing today--counter surfing is when you put your paws up on the counter or table, and check for tasty human food. I scored a snickerdoodle cookie. It is a delightful cookie that kind of tastes like a sugar cookie with cinnamon added. It is delicious. I think most dogs will enjoy it. In case you are wondering if I got into trouble, of course I didn't. My humans left it for me so that I could enjoy it. Sometimes they give me the cookies directly, but sometimes I enjoy "working" for the cookie. I enjoy a good human cookie although I have nothing against milkbones either. I have found that the food the humans enjoy is usually better than the food made for dogs. I know this isn't fair, but that is why a smart dog always goes for what the humans are eating. Speaking of cookies, I have read that some websites leave cookies on your computer. I am very annoyed because I have looked on the computer many times and not one time have I found a cookie. I wonder if the humans are eating them before I can get them.....
