Really Cute Doggie Cookies!


How cute are these cookies?!?

So... I was googling to answer a great debate I was having with myself for my last post about whether it was "doggie" or "doggy" -- and these cute doggie cookies came up in the results! Natually, I clicked for a better look.

I'm not exactly sure about the recipe (it's in grams and crazy units like that), but wouldn't these be precious to make? Right now, I think they're fun to just look at, but I'll keep you posted if I actually Betty-Crocker them myself.

Sleepy Spudgy

Must... stay... up...

Gotta... stay... awake... So... sleepy... Gotta... keep... trying...

Oh, I give up. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Huh? What? I'm up! I'm up!

Spudgy is a very sleep doggie. I feel like I have this same battle with the Tired Gods right around 3:30 at work every day...

Charlie the Unicorn (seriously ridiculous)

Honestly, I have no words...

Just watch.



Can anyone explain this Charlie the Unicorn thing? Seriously. Who thinks of this? (I love it.)

Kitty Cat Eating Corn

With extreme closeup!

Surely this cob is buttered and all that good stuff, cause this cat is really going to town! I'm not sure why cute animals eating are so darn precious, but they just are. Enjoy the latest version.

Ear's to you, kitty!

Cute Pet Turkey: Gobble, Gobble!

Don't get me wrong: I eat the heck out of some turkey on Thanksgiving. I have no problem gobbling up some gobble.

BUT, just look at Giselle the turkey... She's some lady's pet and, apparently, Giselle follows her around everywhere. They look so much cuter when they're still all feathered, don't they?

Happy Thanksgiving, all you jive turkeys!

Hey There, Jive Turkey

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Your Daily Cute would like to pass on this little PSA about preparing your turkey.

As Jive Turkey says, "Baste it; don't waste it."

Gobble, gobble, y'all.

Shrimp on a Treadmill

Why? Why not? Why not put a shrimp on a treadmill and see if he goes for it?

I thought I got tired running, imagine having all those legs to get going! Now, I don't eat shrimp (or anything that comes out of the water), but that doesn't mean I can't laugh at them.

Poor little shrimpy. He's probably running for his life... or the melted butter.

Fighting Squirrels Don't Play Fair

And in one corner it's Chip... weighing 0.7 pounds. And in the other is Dale, weighing in at 0.8 pounds -- and he's got some sneaky tricks up his furry sleeve.

Let's get reaaaaaddddy to ruuuuummmmbllllllllle!



*Thanks to Lenisse for passing on the fighting squirrels video. Apparently, it was on Jay Leno a while ago, too. My money's on Chip -- he's got to wise up eventually.

Roomba Cat Goes for a Little Ride...

As if I didn't want one of these before, this Roomba Cat video makes me really want one now. This cat just hops on his Roomba and cruises around the house...

If I ever got one of these (which, let's face it, I probably won't), I wonder what Pimp would do

a) Be scared of it and hide under the bed like a little fraidy cat.
b) "Get low" and investigate it until he's comfortable, then go for a ride.
c) Hop on for a ride, but crush it beneath his considerable girth.

I'm going with C. Either way, watch the Roomba Cat video -- it's all over the place right now and it's super cute!



And while we're all product-y today, here's a cute slinky cat video to watch next!

Zoo Babies! Baby Animals Slideshow

We all know I love animals, but I absolutely lerrrrve baby animals. (Lerve: To delight in another's existence beyond what can be expressed with a mundane word like love.)

The mini versions are (usually) so much cuter! Check out the Zoo Babies slideshow -- I can't embed it here, but check it out at that link -- and pick your favorite.

If you haven't decided what to get me for Christmas yet, I'll take a baby hippo, a baby zebra and a baby seal. You can keep the baby parrot.

kthxbai.

Do All Bunnies Eat Like This?

Because if they do, I want one. And all I'd do all day is feed him.

Kind of reminds me of a juicer or a food processor... You feed it in and it just slowly gets smaller and smaller. Somebody call Jack LaLanne and tell him this bunny's got his Power Juicer beat!

P.S. Click here to see what happens a bunny finishes eating! (It's funny.)



More veggie cuties: Mocha loves broccoli, and so does this kitty!

Real-Life Furbys!

They came out of a hiding on a mountain in a cloud forest in Indonesia... It's been 85 years since anyone has seen one alive... until now.

Apparently, Furbys are for real.

Scientists and environmentalists and all those types are call them "pygmy tarsiers," but let's be real here: These primates look just like Furbys.

Anyway, welcome back, cute little buddies. We're glad you decided to come out of hiding and say hello after so long. If I'd known you were gone, I would definitely have missed you!

i can haz pwom date?

i can haz pwom date?

Yes! You can have 100 pwom dates!

If only my pwom date was this cute... (Don't tell him. I still talk to him sometimes and don't want him getting all self-conscious and all knowing this really, really cute lolcat is cuter than him.)

Finally! A Tax Break for Pet Owners

I got this in an email last week and it just cracked me right up.

The formula to calculate your pet tax refund is perfect and priceless, even figuring in a "Snookums Tax" (the number of nicknames you have for your pet) and a "Piranha Credit" for the number of other household pets your pet has destroyed (if lizards and bugs were considered household pets, Pimp would make me a millionaire!).

I so wish this was real. I filled it out for fun and, according to my calculations, I should be getting a $6,290 refund...

(Click on the form to make it bigger.)

A Sticky Situation: Cat vs. Tape

Before I get started here, let me sneak in a little disclaimer: While I did laugh out loud... by myself... several times... and even thought about "trying this at home," I would never do this to my own cat. However, there's nothing wrong with laughing at something that's already been done, right?

Now, that being said, THIS IS SO FUNNY! This guy puts tape on his cat, and the poor thing just doesn't know what to do. I mean, I knew the cat would probably walk funny (the first tape placed on his back results in what I call "getting low"), but I had no idea that it would get even better if you taped, say, the side of the cat.

Cat Eats with a Fork

"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate her table manners a 7."

Who said cat's aren't smart? I'd like to see a dog do this. This cat eats with a fork, and chopsticks, and even (wait for it...) a spork!

I have no earthly idea how someone could train their cat to eat like this. I know when I feed Pimp, it's everyone for themselves -- and got help you if accidentally keep a finger or your hand near the food bowl too long when dumping the kibble in... you might lose it.

I suspect a little trickery here, but either way, it really is amazing.

Saturday Morning Cartoons Flashback: Tigger!

The wonderful thing about Tiggers is that Tiggers are wonderful things! That's T-I-double guh-er!

Man, cartoons used to be so cool. What happened to Saturday morning cartoons? Now they're all Japanimated and real and violent... I was flipping through the stations a couple weeks ago and got SO EXCITED to see Inspector Gadget (now that's a cartoon!) -- and then I realized it was dubbed over in Spanish. Major bummer.

I miss Jem and Ducktails and the Smurfs and the Snorks... Oh well. Here's a flashback -- Tigger!

Little Girl Tells the CUTEST Fairy Tale

In French... with subtitles!

No really, I think that makes it even cuter, because of her little voice and the way she says the words. So much expression, so much enthusiasm, so much imagination.

It's a dramatic tales of hippos, monkey, witches and popotamuses (What is that?! No matter; I'm sure they're precious.) I love her and this is another example of how cute I imagine my future-child will be (Here's the other example.)

And as my sister said, I wish she could tell me stories every night before I go to sleep...



*Thanks to Evyan for posting this cutie on Facebook!

Why is This So Cute?

Not sure why I think this is so cute, but here's about 30 seconds of a cat drinking water. That's it. Just a cat drinking water...

But it's so darn cute for some reason. I mean, his chunky little face takes up the whole camera! And his little tongue just laps and laps.

Check it out. If you think I'm crazy, fine. But if you think it's cute, then you're crazy, too!

Puppy Cam: Shiba Inu Puppies 24/7!

NEW: Check out the 24/7 Live Kitty Cam, too!

I've had two people send me this link yesterday, and it breaks my little heart. So cute!

It's live streaming video of puppies... furry little teddy bear-looking puppies. And they snuggle and cuddle and stretch and, well, mostly sleep, but whatever. Cuties!

There are six little Shiba Inus on the puppy cam (until I saw this, I didn't even know what a Shibu Inu was), and I want one! Look and love...

Have a cute puppy of your own you want to share? Submit your pet by sending pictures and a little about them and maybe they'll make it on as our next Cute Pet Spotlight!

Slinky Cat!

You know how you used to get your Slinky and start it at the top of the stairs and watch it slink its way down? Well, Slinkies were sooo last century.

Nowadays, we use cats...

(And after you watch that, don't miss this other crazy cat game: Fat Cat in a Little Box!)



*Thanks go Giselle for sharing the Slinky Cat with us!

Cute Pet Spotlight: Camo Puppy

OK, here's an idea: a "Cute Pet Spotlight" every now and then! Send me your kitties, your doggies and birds. Your hampsters, lizards, monkeys and tigers (oh, please, someone send me a tiger...), and they can have their moment of fame on the internets.

Our first Cute Pet Spotlight is Batly, a huggalicious boston terrier/corgie mix sent in by his mom, Julia.

Besides being incredibly cute, Batly has the unique and sneaky advantage of camouflaging with comforters...

Puppy or Chicken?

"It's remarkable how much Percy looks like a chicken..."

And it really is. Like one of those rubber chickens. Apparently, Percy the cute French bulldog sleeps like this all the time. There are TONS of videos of him sleeping.

First, I couldn't believe his owners had nothing better to do that video their dog sleeping -- and doesn't it get old? But then I realized I'd do the EXACT same thing.

They disabled embedding, so I can't put it right here, but check it out. Really cute. Poor thing.

Unicorns and Cupcakes

A delightful look into the life of the unicorn (why they're fat, I don't know... but I'm thinking it has something to do with cupcakes). These are such cute unicorns, too! By far the cutest ones I've ever seen.

And if anyone knows where the closest cupcake patch is, please let me know. I'm there.

Fat Cat in a Little Box

I'm thinking this game must have started waaaaay back when Maru the fat cat was just a little guy -- and he actually fit in these boxes, like jumping through a hoop.

But now, bless his little heart, he doesn't seem to realize that he's outgrown his little game. AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT!

Watch and love...



*Thanks to Lenisse for passing this one on!

Barack Makes Me Purr -- Obama Cat!

On the eve of the day I hopefully crack open a bottle of "change champagne," I took the obvious opportunity to dress up my dear cat, Pimp. Barack Obama makes him purr.

Also, you'll note that while he is clearly not happy, he is also clearly not as unhappy as he's been in other get-ups I've forced him to wear. This, by the way, is an Obama T-shirt I bought online that is about the most ill-fitted thing I've ever owned. I would have junked it by now, but it's just so damn cute. I mean, look at it... Baa-rock.

Besides, Pimp is an Obama Cat and he makes it look good. :)
