He's Got Fleas On His Head But Don't Call Him a Flea-Head

Totally Adorable, Cuba Lake, NY, 8/06

Or call him a pet. He is an "animal companion." I just call him totally fucking adorable. Anyway, Whip and I were talking tonight about Doodle and her job search and asked if she was still moping around in her suit when she referred to the "I'm calling PETA" comment on that post, and this article on PETA's new public awareness campaign against the term "pet".

If at first you think to yourself, "Groan, here they go again, being annoying..."I hear you, but they do have a good point albeit it's a sad reminder about pet farms and animal overpopulation. This is a smart effort and might, just might, help prevent a few in the next generation--at least in the USA-- from being cruel to animals. Save for those who like to beat down on human ass, of course. Nothing can cure those sick fuckers. Take OJ Simpson. A guy who can decapitate in Bruno Maglis? That's a guy who has been pulling the transportation off of Daddy Longlegs' on a consistent basis since he was born. And Dahmer? Please. That dude was drowning bags of kittens when he was still in the womb. Some people are wired incorrectly. Twisted wires make for twisted folks.

Anyway, back to the cutest fucking dog you ever saw. I'm thinking a Matt Searsian Cute Off is in order between Adorable Dog and Doodle Cat. Ye olde Dog v. Cat! It's gonna be the dog eat dog cat eat cat animal companion contest of the year!
And last but not least, click here if you like fleas.

Yea, but can he fly?

If you crossed Totally Adorable Dog with Doodle, you'd get Bruno.

We actually dropped the "ian" from our name when we came over from the Old Country.

Please don't make us choose. That pooch is unbelievably cute, but not in a Doodle way. Doodle has a certain... (I'm gonna say it)... Garfieldness about her.

Wait!... lemme explain...

She has a way of looking superior and annoyed or freaked out. It's a whole different world of cute.

Just sayin'...

i love bruno! he's a razor back cat! he's king of his jungle! he's happy! And fat! Thanks for sharing.

i'm not showing doodle the pictures of bruno; she'll be pissed. "a backyard?" she'll say? and i'll have to get into the whole "get a job and we can afford a backyard too" and the whole bit. . .

PETA's actually not as pro-humane treatment as you'd think/as they lead you to believe. they think outdoor cats are better dead than outside. as in, they trap them secretly and kill them. oh yeah, but they use more humane methods than shelters/animal control.

with that said, they'd probably also prefer doodle dead then dressed up in a suit, walking the streets for a meal for herself and her human companion.

That backyard was part of a Brooklyn sub-let two years ago. Bruno and I are now in a tiny Hell's Kitchen apartment, indoors only. But he was never that into the great outdoors anyway; mostly he hung out right next to the door so he could dart back inside at a moment's notice. Once I saw Bruno get chased down by an assertive squirrel. Doodle though...I bet Doodle would go nuts outside.

The dog is a handsome fella but is he nearly as talented as Doodle? There's a talent portion in every pageant.

anne altman said...

scared by a squirrel? oh, poor bruno. now that's a cat. doodle is a...well, she's a ...


all i know is the bitch goes nuts outside and doesn't want to come home. when we go to vermont, i need to trap her a full 2 days in advance before we leave, otherwise, she'd be still out there.

i've got a great picture of her tearing into a nice tasty mole. she starts with the head. now before everyone calls PETA on her, I want you to know that she ate virtually the entire animal. Save for feet and tail. They must be bitter.

Whose face did Doodle tear the mole off of?
