Interesting article, to me, about the Battersea Shelter for dogs in England -

Battersea says about 43% of its dogs are staffordshire bull terriers

@tsarstepan,
Good idea, even if they're not called pupcakes.

@tsarstepan,
Maybe worried by the experience of baby food manufacturer that launched range in third world supermarkets and it tanked. Research showed that higher rates of illiteracy (or multiplicity of different languages) meant that canned goods tended to have pictures of the ingredients on the label - this company used a smiling baby on its labels sorta like this:

Shoppers weren't keen to try it....

Pupcakes could be taken the wrong way...

@hingehead,
Well organic free-range babies hold more nutrients then farm factory raised caged babies. I can see the hesitation there. Shocked

@edgarblythe,
I can see that Punky was a fan of some good ole fashion vaudeville comedy. Smile

The squeaker on that chicken sounds as though the poor thing's in pain. I think that's why she favors it.

Mac wearing the new cone collar. Mac and Frankie are always wrestling around and she must have scratched her eye. The vet said it was just a small scratch and she will be fine but will have to wear the cone for a week.

@jcboy,
A few years back, Punky was very strong and would have torn up that chicken within minutes. Today, she is gentler.

Reminds me of the 'What do you do when a rottweiller humps your leg? Fake and orgasm' joke.

@hingehead,
Oh! wonderful.

Probably my new google photo.

What is that, MM...... com?


(I like to see source urls. I guess there is some reason to put them on neutral sites, besides it being your own photo; I've seen that recommended, but I like sometimes to follow up.)
Fabulous photo.

@hingehead,
Thanks, hinge. All this time I thought you were transferring stuff to pixdaus.

Apology. I'm a little wacky about photographers getting credit if only by url, if possible.

I made a fool of myself nattering at Izzie when she came here, since I thought she was putting others' work on a neutral url. Little did I gather that she is the totally great photographer. Naturally, she couldn't figure out what I was yammering about. Talk about wrong headed, that was me. Swats self, pours Izzie a wee Bailey's.

@ossobuco,
I like to give credit too Osso. For my stuff I use picasa - but I'm not even in the same galaxy as Izzie.
