Posted on January 12, 2012 by Adam Lang

An interesting pair. They were staring at the store that (presumably) mom or dad was in. Fixedly. As if, if they took their eyes off of it for just a moment, mom/dad would vanish and never be heard from again.

Dog of the Day: Uno the Shar-Pei/Bulldog Mix

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Adam Lang

Get a load of this guy. A shar-pei/bulldog mix should be just about the saggiest dog you’ve ever seen, and Uno just isn’t. Why? Well, for the most part, it’s probably just genetics. Maybe shar pei ‘sag’ comes from a … Continue reading →

Ever heard that phrase before? It means ‘sitting pretty’ or ‘in a great position’. First appearance in print is in a James Thurber story called ‘In the Catbird Seat‘, although he picked it up from legendary sportscaster “Red” Barber, who … Continue reading →
