I love her fur! It looks so soft and curly, I can’t help but want to pet my monitor!

2 Barbara 03.24.08 at 5:54 pm

I used to work with her.

3 Marianne 03.24.08 at 6:00 pm

Looking so cool with that cap!

4 metsakins 03.24.08 at 6:02 pm

I know her. She used to live near me in the Bronx. Does she have on a house dress with Marlboros in the pocket?

5 Furbabies 03.24.08 at 6:04 pm

Come on just one more number…B-12…Yeah B-I-N-G-O!

6 misscrisp 03.24.08 at 6:21 pm

Runaway bride, is that you?

7 Aoife 03.24.08 at 6:27 pm

I know who you mean, metsakins. She always wears flip flops with white anklets, right?

8 Golden 03.24.08 at 6:29 pm

metsakins and Aoife… Oh yeah.. but last I saw her it was flip flops with knee-highs..

9 Golden 03.24.08 at 6:30 pm

Hey.. is there somethin wrong wif her left eye.. or is it just .. hair?

10 chanpon 03.24.08 at 6:33 pm

“Aunt Ethel, how did you get on this site?”

11 metsakins 03.24.08 at 6:34 pm

sometimes she wears white keds with the little pompom socks.

12 LaLa 03.24.08 at 6:37 pm

LOL!

13 Geo 03.24.08 at 6:43 pm

It’s Maxine’s dog from the Hallmark card line.

14 marie 03.24.08 at 6:44 pm

where’s her fuschia lipstick and aunt betty blue eyeshadow?

15 berthaslave 03.24.08 at 6:46 pm

We all know that THAT doggeh belongs to THAT woman. My great-aunt Selma immediately comes to mind.

16 berthaslave 03.24.08 at 6:47 pm

P.S. Marie — I also had an aunt Betty, but she didn’t have a dog. The lipstick and eye shadow, yes.

17 Kris 03.24.08 at 6:49 pm

What a cutiepie!!! Hope she’s got her daubers in her purse!!!

(I think her eye is fine, it’s just a curl in front of it.)

18 marie 03.24.08 at 6:54 pm

i actually own some aunt betty blue eyeshadow but have never worn it. why i purchased it, i will never know. i feel like i should also own some matted fuzz houseshoes with worn down heels and have a bad perm.

19 barbara 03.24.08 at 7:04 pm

I used to work with her.

20 Andi 03.24.08 at 7:05 pm

This picture makes me grin all over. Love it.

21 ButtaRumCake 03.24.08 at 7:18 pm

*snort* *giggles* @ “house dress with Marlboros in the pocket” & “fuschia lipstick and aunt betty blue eyeshadow”

I had an aunt who perfected this look…

22 Margaret 03.24.08 at 7:50 pm

Looks like she’s going to spend a few days with her daughter in Boca. “It’s nice, but the humidity! I’m plotzing!”

23 Mary (the first) 03.24.08 at 8:31 pm

She doesn’t need a dauber, she has that cute little moist nosicle!

24 Lisa 03.24.08 at 8:35 pm

I think we ALL know this woman, whether she’s your kooky neighbor, the one who bitches about your grass clippings blowing onto her driveway, or the aunt that always ends up schnockered at weddings. Personally, I’ll take the aunt, because you can go home and get away from her. Unlike the neighbor that feels compelled to tell me that my husband shouldn’t ALLOW me (I’m serious – ALLOW!) to sunbathe in the back yard wearing THAT!!

25 metsakins 03.24.08 at 9:04 pm

well I hope you do whatever your husband advises, recommends, mentions, suggests, or even hints at, Lisa. I always do! (while I’m down on my hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom and then running to make sure supper is on the table.)

26 Aoife 03.24.08 at 9:07 pm

Marie, that perm should be ever so slightly too purplish-blue…

berthaslave, I had a great-aunt Selma, too. Had a TIGHT perm, wore jeweled cat-eye glasses, chainsmoked, and wore psychedelic polyester blouses that we always worried would burst into flames from the cigarette ashes dropping on them. She was a great broad!

27 Aoife 03.24.08 at 9:08 pm

On a serious note, how does this pup’s parents keep her fur so white? Can’t keep my pup’s face from getting stained no matter how hard I try …

28 metsakins 03.24.08 at 9:18 pm

That I can’t help ya with. My cat Handsome always had stains around his eyes from his discharge from his allergies.

29 Amy 03.24.08 at 9:25 pm

I’m pretty sure she’s my neighbor in Baltimore.

30 Budgie Blogger 03.24.08 at 9:27 pm

This sweet doggie had more boyfriends then ANY of the other girls on the ship, and her dance card was ALWAYS full on swing night! And on top of that, she is the best at shuffleboard of all the doggies on the cruise!

31 luna712 03.24.08 at 9:37 pm

cute bichon!! XD

32 DejaMew 03.24.08 at 10:08 pm

That lil nosicle is begging for kisses. My doggie, Holly has a cute nosie like that, but it changes color…from dark chocolate to milk chocolate…depending on her mood and the weather.

33 Gail 03.24.08 at 10:12 pm

@Margaret: LMAO!!! “Plotzing”—too funny!! In ten minutes, it’ll be too cold!!

Bet she’s got her lucky Bingo totems in her tote bag!!!

34 Michelle 03.24.08 at 10:31 pm

ahahah the comments. She probably keeps her coils tidy and tame by wearing one of those accordion-folded plastic headscarves that refolds smaller than a postage stamp.

35 Desdemona 03.24.08 at 10:38 pm

I have the ambition to be like the ladies you all are talking about. Remember the poem, “When I am an Old Woman, I shall Wear Purple”? I’m taking notes from all your great ideas for my retirement gear and activities. Fer sure!

36 berthaslave 03.24.08 at 10:46 pm

Just guessing, but the dog is probably named one of the following: Fritzie, Schottzie, Mitzi, or Trixie.

Somewhere in Jewish socialist heaven, my aunts Selma, Marya, Betty, Flo, and grandmother Lilyan are all guffawing loudly, while my shiksa aunts Vera and Agnes, still living in St. Louis, probably don’t get the joke.

37 rosieLB 03.24.08 at 11:09 pm

HEY!

There ain’t nothin’ wrong with being shiksa!

(I’ve got shiksa-ppeal…so says my husband) ;)

C’mere, Fritzie, honey. Let me make you a nice bowl of matza ball soup (I’m learning from his aunt…I’ll get it right yet!)

38 doodleb 03.24.08 at 11:15 pm

this photo is like a mirror into my soul…

halp!

39 scoobie 03.24.08 at 11:38 pm

What a wet little noise

40 Janeyferr 03.24.08 at 11:45 pm

By Jenny Joseph:

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple,
with a red hat that doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.

And I shall spend my, pension on brandy and summer gloves,
and satin candles, and say we’ve no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
and run my stick along the public railings,
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain,
and pick the flowers in other people’s gardens,
and learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat, and eat three pounds of sausages at a go, or only bread and pickles for a week,
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry, and pay our rent and not swear in the street,
and set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

41 chet's momma 03.24.08 at 11:45 pm

black oleeve nosicle! nom nom nom……….

42 ashagato 03.25.08 at 12:06 am

it’s mrs. bickford, our next door neighbor growing up!
she used to call and wake my mom up at 2 in the morning to tell her i was making out with my boyfriend in the driveway, or that somebody else was. never a dull moment living next to my crazy family…

43 leannrose 03.25.08 at 12:15 am

When I first saw this dog, I immediately thought of Doris, from The Critic. I tried to find a pic of the character, but couldn’t.

Possibly one of those times when the dog starts to look like its owner/owner looks like dog? And the recountings of relatives is hilarious; I, alas, did not have an aunt/grandma/neighbor like this…

44 lucy's mommeh 03.25.08 at 12:22 am

just reading old aunt descriptions-I miss my Aunt Dutch. She wore Tabu perfume, smoked Pall Malls, drew in her black eyebrows to match her dyed black hair & wore fire engine red lipstick.
When she died, we went to the funeral home, as we were the only family. Her hair had little swirls in it, soft pink lipstick…My sister asked the funeral home director for lipstick & a comb….she combed our Aunt’s hair into the Mr. Spock hairstyle that she favored, put on the red lipstick-and then, it was really Aunt Dutch lying there.
Sigh.
Gods, i miss her.

45 megumaximus 03.25.08 at 12:29 am

lucy’s mommeh – we had a similar experience with my grandmother – when she passed away, nobody felt like it was really her in the casket because she didn’t have a cigarette and coffee mug in one hand, an Agatha Christie book in the other – and weirdest of all, her hair wasn’t in curlers (as it had been for I think twenty years or so).

This puppeh is just dying for a little sweater that’s been subjected to a Bedazzler.

46 Leilani 03.25.08 at 1:22 am

“Momma”??? That poor dog looks like Albert Einstein!

47 Pacute 03.25.08 at 1:32 am

CUTE

48 Bluemenro 03.25.08 at 1:39 am

LOL! Love the captions.

49 michelle boxall 03.25.08 at 3:55 am

What’s wrong with her left eye?
And OMG is she cute!

50 Janet 03.25.08 at 4:39 am

“On a serious note, how does this pup’s parents keep her fur so white? Can’t keep my pup’s face from getting stained no matter how hard I try …”

There’s a product (unfortunately called Angel Eyes), a kind of food supplement that pretty much eliminates the red tear stains from around dogs’ eyes (I think it gets rid of a bacteria that causes the staining). I have no personal experience with it, but I’m told it’s very effective.

51 Subhangi 03.25.08 at 5:09 am

LOL! He looks like a little old man to me. Needs a pipe in his mouth!

52 M. 03.25.08 at 5:15 am

I keep half-expecting that dog to open her mouth and say in a Brooklyn Jewish accent “Are ya seein anybody? You would be good for my son Bennie. He’s a good-lookin boy that one… I’ve got pictures here…”

53 Hon Glad 03.25.08 at 8:11 am

Where’s my purse and my lucky pencil, that Velma Steinberg better not win this week.

54 Isabella Gucci 03.25.08 at 9:04 am

Cute overload for sure! That dog looks like those cute old ladies at the casino. All she needs is a bejeweled windbreaker and some polyester pants.

55 Ani 03.25.08 at 12:29 pm

She’s not a Bichon! She’s a poodle. And she does not look like her owner. I know. I’m her aunt.

56 ThreeCatNight 03.25.08 at 2:13 pm

“Ceil, Ceil, let’s get going. All the girls will be there. And don’t forget to bring pictures of the grandchildren, even if they don’t call!”

57 metsakins 03.25.08 at 3:51 pm

Hey my kids call their grandparents! MY sista’s kids, oy, vat do you expect!

58 Beth 03.25.08 at 3:54 pm

Hi, I am the owner. All of your comments are too funny! Some stats on Miss Jarrah.
Yes, she is jewish and we live in phila but we also have a place at the jersey shore, right next to the tropicana…Jarrah loves to play craps!(more men hang out at the craps tables)
Enjoy!

59 Melinda 03.25.08 at 8:50 pm

I just saw her this morning! She was walking her dog.

60 megusmaximus 03.25.08 at 9:45 pm

Beth, Jarrah is too cute! She has the sweetest little face.

And I’m serious about what I said before – she totally needs a sweater that’s been Bedazzled. :)

61 megs 03.26.08 at 12:06 pm

she looks just like my snyder poodle!!! :)

62 metsakins 03.26.08 at 12:15 pm

Beth give her a hug and a milkbone from me.
