Bert and Ernie: True Friends

For those who grew up watching Sesame Street, Bert and Ernie are well known characters from that children's show. I am happy to report that the elapsed time has not changed the characters except for aging. They still look similar to the Bert and Ernie that were watched decades ago. They are also together which is a happy tribute to their friendship. Not all friends stay friends over the years. They move on with their separate lives and lose touch with each other. I know they are still together because Bert and Ernie were spotted attending the Dragon.com in Atlanta, Georgia recently. Here is the link so you can see their photo.

Isn't it nice that they are still together after all these years?

Not Attending Flea Circus

I was recently invited to a flea circus-an invitation that got an immediate, no. Why would I want to see a flea circus when I hate fleas? I have yet to meet a dog who likes them. They are annoying creatures who annoy dogs and other species, including humans. They caused the bubonic plague many centuries ago, and I know they did it out of pure spite. Have you ever talked to a flea? I have, and they are truly obnoxious. They jump around thinking they are the most talented creatures in the universe because they can bite dogs and people. This is not something that I consider a talent. They are parasites and should be treated as such. Sure, you will meet one or two that are nice (for fleas anyway), but they can't be trusted. There is always one or two who are smarter than the rest and try not to act as obnoxious in an effort to have you let down your guard so they can snack on you. When you see a flea, kill it. It does not deserve to live so get rid of it. Be sure you don't attend any flea circuses. Those fleas are already full of themselves. If they think they are stars, they will be worse. No dog wants to deal with a super snobby flea!

Movie Review: Lawless

Today my blog is a movie review of Lawless. This movie was set in depression (the 1930's) Franklin county, Virginia. The Bondurant family were bootleggers, and they managed to make more than any of the other bootleggers. The big problem arrived when a deputy from the city decided to come to the mountains to get a share of the money. Local law enforcement had allowed the bootleggers to continue their businesses while taking a share, but when the city people wanted an additional share, the Boudurant brothers refused to give in. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Jason Clarke. This movie was a good movie and I give it 4 paws up, a tail wag, and a dog biscuit which is an 8 out of 10 on the human movie scale. There could have been more dogs, but at least there was a dog on camera if only for a cameo. I'm guessing they didn't want to pay the kind of money that a dog would command. I recommend this movie, and I recommend more dogs in movies in general.

Pez Dispenser for Dogs

As a dog who likes candy very much, I am very pleased to see that the Pez candy company did not forget us dogs. Yes, you can get a Pez candy dispenser for dogs, and that makes Pez a great company in this dog's opinion. I think it is wonderful that a dog can get Pez candy dispensed at the touch of a paw. I think it is candy, but if not candy, at least it is a dog treat that a dog will enjoy. (Personally, I would prefer candy!) The dispenser looks like a dog, and it is super cool in that is it bigger than the standard human size Pez dispenser. I am getting hungry just looking at it on the Internet. I guess the humans can eat the dog treats too so I would make sure they know it belongs to the dog. Here is the link so that you can order one for yourself. I'm sure they would make any dog happy.

Doggielove: The Movie

Over the weekend, a new movie, The Oogieloves, which set box office, records came out. The records were for the worst money making movie ever. I saw the trailer for this movie at one of the movies I recently attended, and I was amazed that it ever made it to the big screen at all. I had no interest in attending the movie nor did I have any interest in ever seeing the movie. However, if I were 3 years old, I might have really liked the movie. This is a movie that should have been released directly to video since most toddlers don't have the attention span to sit in a theatre and watch a movie. This annoys me since Hollywood can spend a lot of money to make movies geared at human puppies, but what about the dog demographics? We watch televsion and movies too, and the humans never make any dog oriented movies. Hotel for Dogs was a great movie and a step in the right direction, but I'm sure it was made with humans in mind. I would like to see a movie that is really for us dogs. Perhaps videos of trees, other dogs, and animals we could chase. If they could quit focusing on 3D, and make a smell-and--vision camera, it would truly be great for us dogs! The first movie should be called Doggielove since, for the most part, the humans love us!

Bird Hit Dog--Perfect Job for Demon Flash Bandit

Imagine my interest when I saw that an airport in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is willing to pay a lot of money for someone who can get rid of birds around the airport. Birds cause a lot of problems for airplanes so they think it is worth paying a "bird killer". As a Siberian Husky, I think Florida is a bit too hot, and they never have any snow, but I could keep the air conditioner going for such a perfect job for me. I like to think of myself as a "bird hit dog". I don't like birds, and I don't trust birds, and I think I could make sure the airport was bird free. I'd like to make the whole planet bird free so it is a job that I would be proud to do. It would also solve that problem of whenever I ask for something cool I see on the Internet that a dog would love to have, my human tells me that I have no money. Recently I wrote a blog about an animated zombie dog that was only $5,700. and I was planning to buy it and use it on Halloween to scare the trick or treaters away from my house. Every year those little deadbeats come by wanting a dog's candy. The humans, being stupid humans, give the children candy that could be eaten by the family dog if the humans had any sense at all. This is why it is great that I can get a job doing what I do best, and get enough money so that a dog can buy whatever he chooses to buy. Asking the humans for money isn't right--dogs should have their own stash of cash. To show that I am not just making this up, here is the link:

In the future, I expect that my blogs will be coming to you from Florida.

Movie Review: The Expendables 2

Today my movie review is of The Expendibles 2. This movie stars Slyvester Stallone and a bunch of other older movie action heroes. The movie starts out with shooting. Throughout the movie, there are assorted shootings, knife fights, fist fights, and the occasional chat between characters. Of course, you don't really need to know that much about the characters because all that really needs to be shown to the movie viewer is action. I do like Slyvester Stallone, but this movie is nothing like the original Rocky movie. It is more like Rambo in Afghanistan. However, one interesting sidenote. Chuck Norris talks about how he bit a cobra and it dies. Just recently I read in the news about a cobra that died as a result of a bite from a human, and now I know who it was that bit the snake. It must have been Chuck Norris. That will teach a snake to bite an action star! I did not particularly like this movie from its beginning. I give it a tongue out and no paws up. This is about a 2 out of 10 on the human movie scale. I will state though that, if you are a big fan of action movies, and enjoy seeing fighting on the big screen, you will like this movie. Personally, I would have rather watched two hours of that stupid cat, Garfield.
