Get a hobby.

Imagine how difficult it must be to live with the compulsion to change “Baby” to “Diaper” on these changing stations that are in every store.

The guy has a point.  After using this equipment, it’s a different diaper on the same ol’ baby.  He should probably find a more fulfilling hobby.

Note:  I understand and endorse the cultural norm that prohibits taking a photo in a restroom, but this photo seemed warranted.

Sparky is asshoe.

When Sparky went out last night, he walked through the mud in the back yard.  I didn’t see him and Sparky didn’t mention it.  Rather than go to bed, Sparky wandered all over the place.

This morning, when I saw his mud tracks, I called Sparky over for a dog-shaming photo.

The National Garden of American Heroes needs some work.

Trump’s ‘Hero garden’ is coming – where Abraham Lincoln will stand next to Julia Child

Americans could soon get the chance to walk by life-size statues of luminaries, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Muhammad Ali, after President Donald Trump’s “National Garden of American Heroes” was greenlit.

Trump is an idea man.  Some of his ideas are so unexpected, we need time to think an idea through before forming an opinion.  The ‘National Garden of American Heroes’ is happening, but it doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Rating the best dogs.

American Kennel Club Harms French Bulldogs’ Health, PETA Says in Suit

This article explains that French bulldogs are so genetically unfortunate, that PETA is suing the AKC.  I didn’t read the article because the bulldog in the photo seems to have a lot of shit to deal with.  The article did motivate me to look up the 23 Healthiest Dog Breeds With the Least Illnesses.

Since beagles are number 2 on the list, I decided to rate those dog breeds on which is the best.  My rating is based solely on the photo and my ability to know what dogs are thinking.

What do cats really want?

WSJ: A Pet Food Giant’s Mission to Understand Cats

WSJ: A Pet Food Giant’s Mission to Understand Cats

The Mars company makes M&M’s, Snickers and other human food, along with pet food brands like IAMS, Eukanuba, Pedigree and Sheba.

The pet food giant had a problem. Cats were rapidly catching up to dogs as America’s favorite pets, but the company was filled with people who didn’t fully understand the mercurial creatures—or their owners.

So Mars launched a mission to get its dog-loving workers inside cats’ heads.
