Could it be true love?
Could our dolphin love be real?
But who rears the kids?

2 squirrel 08.14.09 at 5:28 am

My skin is shiney
Your fur is also shiney
We love based on that

3 J. 08.14.09 at 5:30 am

That Lab looks as though he’s found his porpoise in life.

4 Trinky dink 08.14.09 at 5:31 am

Sniff sniff . . . .

Something smells fishy!
But wait, dolphins are not fish
It must be my breath

5 Leanna 08.14.09 at 5:33 am

As long as you’re my
Baby it don’t matter if
You’re black or you’re grey

6 shinysun 08.14.09 at 5:39 am

Something isn’t right
I can’t place my paw on it
But it smells fishy

7 Saffron 08.14.09 at 5:44 am

Dolphin: Pssst…remember this – 42
Doggie: SHINY!
Dolphin: Seriosly, 42. Trust me you will need to know this. I am telling you this, bubelah, because I like you.
Doggie: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINY!!
Dolphin: I came all the way here from my underwater laboratory where I am thisclose to successfully using a bunsen burner, diet Fanta (orange, natch), and a Charlston Chew to create an entirely new planet. Or, a delicious snack treat that is REALLY big…..not sure which. Anyhoo, please tell all your friend to remember “42″. Your species is awesome and this information is crucial to your exponentially increasing levels of cuteness.
Doggie: SHINYSHINYSHINY
Dolphin: *sigh*

8 Meaghan 08.14.09 at 5:45 am

I call interspecies snorgling! That dolphin is totally kissing the pup on the nose.

9 JD 08.14.09 at 5:48 am

Here is my try

Nose to nose we meet
What kind of creature are you?
Squee, Bark, we both speak.

10 Kate 08.14.09 at 5:52 am

Confused pupperson
Unsure why this squeaky toy
Can’t be retrieved

11 Katrina 08.14.09 at 5:56 am

Meeting at the edge
I used to have paws like you
We love the water

12 Argyle Donkeypants 08.14.09 at 5:57 am

Special sniffing dog
Has successfully ID’d
Dolphin contraband.

13 Jezebel 08.14.09 at 5:58 am

Puppy dreams a lot
Wishing he were a porpoise
For his dolphin love

14 gizmo 08.14.09 at 6:06 am

Puppy and the Dolphin
Who knows how this will all end
Should be fun to watch!

15 dub1 08.14.09 at 6:08 am

Dawg of the Dolphin.
Paw loves Fa. Wet noisicles
Bridge the species gap.

16 pyrit 08.14.09 at 6:11 am

On the internet
You said you’re dark and handsome!
You said you’re bubbly!

17 gizmo 08.14.09 at 6:14 am

Best friends forever
Different in many ways
But the same at heart

18 Leilani 08.14.09 at 6:15 am

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

19 T.U.M. 08.14.09 at 6:19 am

“My name’s Prince the Dog.”
“Since I am a Dolphin , sir,
I’m the prince of France.”

20 Argyle Donkeypants 08.14.09 at 6:22 am

[sequel to #12]

How in the world did
You ever think you could sneak
This guy through customs?!

21 Malinki 08.14.09 at 6:22 am

Needs more Trinary.
Crideiki would still approve.
Streaker is still lost.

22 Von Zeppelin 08.14.09 at 6:26 am

“Clickety squeeeel click!”
“Awooof! Woofwoof! Woofwoofwoofwoof!”
The summer is hot.

23 pinky toepad 08.14.09 at 6:28 am

Interspecies love
Clandestine meeting places
Tiny leetle kees

24 Trabb's Boy 08.14.09 at 6:30 am

You are all awesome. And Saffron is even awesomer!

25 Andi from NC 08.14.09 at 6:32 am

My fair wet maiden
A doggie paddle later
A snorgle for now

26 cath 08.14.09 at 6:34 am

Like that star-crossed pair,
Romeo and Juliet,
We love, ill-fated.

27 pyrit 08.14.09 at 6:36 am

Yes, big applause here for Saffron!

28 Amy 08.14.09 at 6:47 am

@ Saffron–hehe! Bravo!

29 Birdcage 08.14.09 at 6:47 am

We’d see eye to eye,
If your nose wasn’t so long,
My new steel grey friend!

30 Birdcage 08.14.09 at 6:49 am

Yes, but can you “sit”?
“Shake-a-paw” and “play dead”, too?
I didn’t think so!

31 Metz 08.14.09 at 6:57 am

@Argyle

Tis Simple my friend
they figured they’d squeak on by
you may all groan now

Any followers of Two Lumps on here 2day? Sad news over there. :cry:

32 Leslie (NTA) 08.14.09 at 6:58 am

@ Leanna: Yay !!

33 derz 08.14.09 at 7:01 am

“hey! sneak me some fish!”
says the dolphin to the dog
“Tuna or Salmon?”

wahwahwah. not very creative today….

34 derz 08.14.09 at 7:07 am

click click click click click
Squeak click clickity click click
Squeak click click squeak click?

35 derz 08.14.09 at 7:09 am

the dolphin version… need to cover all bases.

36 Katiedid 08.14.09 at 7:12 am

It’s not ment to be
I come from land, you the sea
But now I’m happy
:-)

37 Suzanne 08.14.09 at 7:17 am

Saffron & Leilani….great Doug Adams references….although shouldn’t poochers remember 43?

38 Bryn 08.14.09 at 7:22 am

Black lab ponders this:
Just how big is the dog who
will fetch this squeak toy?

39 Kelsey 08.14.09 at 7:23 am

Who’d have ever thought
That a Dolphin could be taught
to take Dog on walks?

40 Stunbunny 08.14.09 at 7:35 am

What a shiny coat!
Your owner must put an egg
In your food daily!

41 Emerson 08.14.09 at 7:37 am

Dolphin:

Ah, true love at last.
I’ve never been so happy.
It’s like I’m floating.

Dog:

Uh-oh. This is bad.
I just wanted to frolic–
Dinner with the pod?!

42 Theo 08.14.09 at 7:54 am

Who woulda thunk it
I finally found someone
With a colder nose

43 Dez 08.14.09 at 8:25 am

@Saffron – Ha!Ha!Ha!LOL!LOL!LOL!*breather*Ha!Ha!Ha!LOL!LOL!LOL!

44 ShelleyTambo 08.14.09 at 8:28 am

Is this an Encore Presentayshe? I KNOW I’ve seen it somewhere…

45 patris 08.14.09 at 8:32 am

trepidatious dog
wonders: is this friend or foe?
chicken of the sea

46 sarah 08.14.09 at 8:38 am

Coming out of stall
Something is not right in here
Not in Puppy’s room

Leaving embarrassed
Away from Dolphin’s bathroom
At least got a peek

47 Patito Gigante 08.14.09 at 8:43 am

Why do I cheapen their special moment with a Larry Craig haiku?

48 wannadance 08.14.09 at 8:49 am

too shiny for real.
did someone bring me a toy?
a blow-up dolphin!!

49 Diana 08.14.09 at 8:51 am

Look, a big toilet!
Paws on edge to reach the drink
OMG what’s this????

50 Kerri 08.14.09 at 9:00 am

Dog and Dolphin love
but it is not meant to be
pool versus dry land

51 MissKitty 08.14.09 at 9:09 am

Is love at first sight?
Your nosicle is moist, too.
This will be our bond.

52 lrm 08.14.09 at 9:11 am

I also vote for Saffron- hilarious! So are many others. I love this adorable pic, but I can’t help wonder the story behind it; how did these two get together?

53 Rainbow*Star 08.14.09 at 9:30 am

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

54 kibblenibble 08.14.09 at 10:06 am

I give you this kiss
Symbol of our loving traits
Both peaceful creatures

55 Jenn 08.14.09 at 10:08 am

Gleaming silver skin,
Beautiful shiny black coat.
It’s a polish joke!

56 chanpon 08.14.09 at 10:12 am

I thought I had warned
you already the last time.
Don’t pee in our pool!

57 skippymom 08.14.09 at 10:13 am

Puppy eyes look deep
Into dolphin’s rubber soul
Squeaky clean true love

58 victoreia 08.14.09 at 10:28 am

Don’t forget your towel……

59 DaytimeDeb 08.14.09 at 10:44 am

Dog thought bubble:

You have a wet nose
But you are the strangest dog
I have ever seen

Dolphin thought bubble:
Dumb dog I’m dolphin
I am much smarter than you
But you are quite cute

60 skippymom 08.14.09 at 10:53 am

I’m not cool enough
To get Saffron’s clever post.
Can someone explain?

61 kk3 08.14.09 at 10:53 am

Looked around and it said that this pic was from the Indianapolis Zoo.

62 blair 08.14.09 at 11:01 am

the pupper knows that’s some sort of dog but can’t figure out where the matchingks is…

63 victoreia 08.14.09 at 11:01 am

@skippymom: It refers to Douglas Adams’ Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (which is about five or six books long…..)

64 BB/VA 08.14.09 at 11:28 am

@skippymom – also, the last book was “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish”.

@Saffron – a worthy addition to the Adams Canon, IMO. Well done!

65 Al 08.14.09 at 11:32 am

Boop!

66 Bryn 08.14.09 at 11:38 am

@Diana

This is even worse
than what I found floating in
the toilet last time!

67 skippymom 08.14.09 at 11:39 am

Ah, victoreia, now it all fits together. Thank you. And so long, and thanks for all the fish, which I recognized as a book title, but didn’t know the connection to Saffron’s bit. Of course.
I was relatively cool when I was younger, and was of course aware of the Hitch-hiker’s Guide, but it wasn’t part of my life.

68 Katiedid 08.14.09 at 11:50 am

It’s ok skippy(mom)
I did not get it either
Never read the book

69 Stacy 08.14.09 at 11:53 am

So sweet! I love inter-species friendships..

70 AuntieMame 08.14.09 at 12:01 pm

I love this photo!
The dolphin is so shiny.
And Pup is perplexed.

71 skippymom 08.14.09 at 12:20 pm

Dolphin’s languid gaze
Lingers on her sleek, black beau.
He is mesmerized.

72 cath 08.14.09 at 12:36 pm

You silly old dog!
This is not what we mean by
“trouble at the well.”

73 Kiragirl 08.14.09 at 12:38 pm

I say there, matey,
would you know how to get to
the nearest Seaworld?

74 cath 08.14.09 at 12:44 pm

At the water bowl,
Labrador Alice wonders,
What was in that cake?

75 Kiragirl 08.14.09 at 12:45 pm

The page is now GOLD!
were that it all could be mine!
Continue to dream.

76 skippymom 08.14.09 at 12:55 pm

Interspecies snorg
makes trip to aquarium
oh so romantic

77 octopuppy 08.14.09 at 2:10 pm

We should not have played
With the Crazy Glue bottle
We are forever

78 Suzanne 08.14.09 at 2:18 pm

Saffron riffs Adams
Dog and dolphin get cozy
good Friday for all

79 Wvaden 08.14.09 at 2:23 pm

Gives dolphin a kiss
Don’t you just love dog sugars?
You’re wet any way

80 AuntieMame 08.14.09 at 2:45 pm

@Jenn LOL at your “polish” joke! :D :D :D

81 Saffron 08.14.09 at 3:29 pm

Aw shucks, all. Thankies for the props and kindly not pointing out my typos. (Or is it typoes, for the Quaylian spelling?)

Everyone’s haikus are soooo awesome..especially Derz and Suzanne!! They made me laugh ’till I snorted soda out of my nose…which REALLY hurts, by the way.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and remember to give your pets some snorgles.

82 Alice 08.14.09 at 4:34 pm

Two diff’rent species
Both loving a pool with balls
Great friendship ahead

83 Julia 08.14.09 at 5:13 pm

Shocking dolphin kiss
Caught me quite off guard since I
Only sought my ball

84 Jane 08.14.09 at 6:17 pm

They’re both adorable. But it kills me that this dolphin is in captivity, they absolutely don’t belong there. Cute, nonetheless.

85 crittersitter 08.14.09 at 8:06 pm

One furry, one slick.
Shouldn’t I give him a lick?
I think it not wise.

86 nisielli 08.15.09 at 4:37 am

@skippymom:
About “so long and thanks for all the fish”: I learnt on the internet that it’s a song. It goes like this:

So long, and thanks for all the fish
So sad it had to come to this
Too bad you never listened to me
So long, and see you soony.

So long and thanks for all the flies
They tried to make you a nice surprise
You tried whacking them on the floor
So that’s why they’ll kick you out the door

So long and thanks for all the rope
That stopped the robber and tied up the goats
However I think they needed space
Not to be tied up all over the place

So long and thanks for everything
Which wasn’t much, you know. I sing
This song about the stuff you did
Which wasn’t good, like when you murdered a squid……..

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad it had to come to this

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad it had to come to this

So long.

87 Katrina 08.15.09 at 8:18 am

And when you have read “The Hitchhiker’s Guide”, go get Terry Pratchett’s books.
You”ll thank me. Several times. Effusively.

88 lee 08.15.09 at 11:17 am

lol omg could a dolphin be in love with dog

ps you have to break it to him his love lives underwater and he lives on land
LOL

89 lee 08.15.09 at 11:20 am

lol omg
that is so funny could he be in love with a dolphin?!?!?!?!?!?!?

ps you have to break to him his love lives underwater and he lives on land!!!!!

90 melissadesa 08.15.09 at 5:49 pm

LMFAO @ Safron “SHIIIIIINY!!!”

91 Katrina 08.16.09 at 7:16 am

Dear Saffron-
Please, for the sake of you nasal passages, your sini (sinuses?) put down the potable(s) before gazing. You’ll thank me. Your friends will thanks you. Your keyboard and monitor will thank you.

Ouch! Theo did it with hot coffee at lest one that he owned up to.
From your fellow Peep who knows- K.

92 procrastinatrix 08.16.09 at 1:33 pm

@ Malinki: Now let’s see that in Trinary and Primal! (Well done!)

93 Malinki 08.17.09 at 6:01 am

Thank you for noticing in the sea of Doublas Adams references, procrastinatrix :)

# Glory! Is, is,
Glory!#

94 taylor 08.23.09 at 3:14 pm

Dolphins in captivity are so sad :(

95 Alix 08.24.09 at 11:34 am

@kk3 yes, this is the Indianapolis zoo. The Dolphin Dogs are no longer working with our dolphins as they used to, but this pooch is still around :)

@taylor I work at the Indianapolis zoo, where this picture was taken, and I can assure you our dolphins are anything but sad :)
