Hi, Ess. I really should check in more often here, but of course I have many excuses: all those little things I’ve been working on that seem big now and I’ll forget in the future. In between those, I get to see you. I’m not always there, though. For that, I am very sorry.
Sometimes you dress up as Super Essie:
More good stuff from Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, The Best Kids’ Books Ever. Here’s his final selection:
13. “Lad, a Dog” is simply the best book ever about a pet, a collie. This is to “Lassie” what Shakespeare is to CliffsNotes. The book was published 90 years ago, and readers are still visiting Lad’s real grave in New Jersey — plus, this is a book so full of SAT words it could put Stanley Kaplan out of business.
Cute dogs. Tumbledry humor. Linked! Iz jus outta da tumbledryer.
Dixie the Tiny Dog, by Peter Himmelman
And in the middle of the day I sit in the sun and I hear young children call me a wiener dog, perhaps that’s what I am
The Germanic term is dachshund, and I like that
I’m thin and I’m proud and no one can make fun of me
I can slip through the bars of a prison if I were ever incarcerated, but I don’t know what I would do wrong
My body yields no evil inclination, I’m a pure weiner dogMy name is Dixie, and I go dancing ‘cross the floor in the evening of the Johnsons when everyone is sleeping
Sometimes I look for a morsel of food, but they’re so clean they’re almost anal-retentive in their cleanliness habits and there’s nothing for me
But I don’t despair
Seeing eye cats are like seeing eye dogs, except they are the eyes for the dogs and the dogs are the disabled ones:
Cashew, a 14 year old Labrador Retriever owned by Terry Burns in Middleburg, Pennsylvania, is blind and deaf. Her best friend is a red tabby cat named Libby. Libby has become Cashew’s seeing-eye cat. She guides Cashew around obstacles, leads her to the food dish and even sleeps next to her every night.
The “Help ‘em Wash specialized shower curtain is one of those things that sounds like a good idea, but really is not a good idea.
The Pet Shower Curtain has shoulder length gloves that allow you easy access to bathe your pet. The gloves are completely intergrated and waterproof. The curtain is clear to help you watch your pet closely while bathing them. You will stay dry even when your pet shakes the excess water off.
Weightless dogs are very funny, especially when they appear from out of nowhere.
Welcome to the best picture ever. “dooce: Not very happy about his recent bath.”
Yes, a video entitled “Puppy vs Kitty” is exactly what you’d expect. If shown to everyone around the world, this could bring about world peace.
Skidboot the dog - If you’ve got the time, take about 8 minutes out of your day for a heartwarming story about an amazing dog. Thanks, dooce.
And now, tumbledry presents things I have seen in the past couple of days. Thing 1: I saw Conan O’Brien doing his opening show of the week in Chicago. The audience was huge and almost out of control. It was like a rock concert sometimes. Mr. T gave Conan a tour of the city and other hijinks ensued. Late Night is such great television. I watched the show for longer than I had intended to, but the time was well spent. You may ask the question “why does a show go on the road” but I would counter with … why not?
The ugliest dog in the world … until he died last year - Oh. My. God.
