Fun for a cause

So over the weekend Mom and I decided to do some fun stuff we have heard about and share it with you on the blog this week.

For instance, studies have shown that some of the happiest dog and owner pairs share similar features, personality traits, even body types.

That's why The Pedigree Adoption Drive and NEC developed Doggelgänger; human to canine pairing software, designed to connect homeless dogs to their human doubles.

(Those two blurbs were stolen directly from the website, by the way.)

The way it works is that you upload a picture of a human face and then they run this cool program to find a dog that looks like you ... a dog and their human,  you know.

Imagine my surprise when this is what turned up with Mom's picture:

I guess there must not have been any Westies that needed homes, because otherwise surely Mom would have gotten paired up with a moi dog, yes???

The program operates in New Zealand, but maybe they will come up with something similar here soon. 

Fun, fun, puppers.

Not seeing enough of Duncan?

Worried that you have not laid eyes on the white dog himself enough in the past few posts???

Have no fear ... he is going to be here in person each and every day next week.

Stayed tuned for EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM MY DOG starting on Monday.

Happy Weekend, Puppers!

A baby boom!

Well I don't know about the rest of you, but we are experiencing a baby and grandbaby boom around here!  My mom loves nothing more than a new baby, so yesterday we spent a good bit of our morning trying to find some baby gifts that would be "Puperie - Appropriate."   We found two gifties that we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE:

First up, on a personal note, we'd like to have that baby up there for ourselves.  I mean, put your paws together for a human pup as cute as me!  And, CHECK OUT THAT WESTIE OUTFIT.  Great taste for such a wee one.  And, if that is not enough for you, the shop owner is from TEXAS and I know alot of you puppers out there are hanging out in the Lone Star State.  Shop local, puppers!  You can find the outfit here, at Oliver Blu Designs, and if you must, you can get a dog design other than a Westie.  But, really, why go there???

PS, if I were in Texas, I'd call that photographer too.

Mom says that over time you develop a reputation for giving certain gifts ... people sometimes develop a "go to" gift if you will.  In our case, that would be anything made by Chloe Jane Handmade.  We had the opportunity to meet Emily,  the seamstress extraordinaire,  in San Francisco not too long ago and we have been buying burp cloths for our baby gifting needs ever since.  Imagine our delight when we saw that she now has "Puperie-Appropriate" burp cloths!!!!  SPOILER ALERT: some of you have burp cloths going to the post office today, in fact :)  You can find burp cloths, blankets, stroller covers and much more right here.

Shop on, puppers, shop on!
