The Busy Life of a Single Dog.

by Prongs on October 5, 2009

6:00AM: Wake up, chase cat on treadmill.

6:30AM: Make Mooch breakfast.

6:31AM: Make mental note to call Dr. Lipschwitz about Mooch demanding Fancy Feast.

7:06AM: Train into city.

7:10AM: Scold Mooch, explain why he can’t stick head out window, add incident to Lipschwitz list.

8:00AM: Arrive at Mooch’s daycare, wonder why door is locked.

8:02AM: Realize it’s Saturday.

Please don't tell my ex-wife about this.

Hope you offered him a venti, non-fat, half-caff, extra-foamy latte, Leighann S.

LOL he should change his alarm to only go off Mon-Fri like me! (like it does any good getting me up anyway)

Um, where is the Blackberry?

3 LovesDogs 10.05.09 at 11:36 am

Bullies are THE best!

4 Meaghan 10.05.09 at 11:38 am

Why does the bag say “Digital”? Was it originally a camera case?

[I'm guessing it was for an older video camera. - Ed.]

Love the little doggie looking out like saying they havent seen me lol
the big dog look so cool and calm like he just smoked something lol all he needs is to do the peace sign

6 brinnann 10.05.09 at 11:48 am

Awww, what a bootiful brindled bully!

7 blair 10.05.09 at 11:49 am

Is that a kid carrier or a lunch box?

8 Illise 10.05.09 at 11:51 am

@Blair, for the little one sake hope is the first one lol

9 Von Zeppelin 10.05.09 at 11:54 am

Meghan, the little brown guy in the bag is a “Digital” dog, hence the label on the carrying case. As you can see, he is more compact than the earlier “Analog” dogs. The dogs in my house, Sam and Max, are the even more obsolescent “Acoustic” dogs.

Best hovertext evah

8:05 am: Add “Lipswitch list” to List of Tongue Twisters !!!!!

12 Rooanne 10.05.09 at 11:57 am

this – this is so redonkulous that it’s – it’s CUTE! I didn’t quite get it until I scrolled down and saw what, I mean who, was in the bag….

Hmmm “wake up, chase cat on treadmill” , reminds me of something. Could it be the Jetsons??

13 resriechan 10.05.09 at 11:59 am

–Hey, wait JUST A COTTON-PICKIN’ MINNIT !!

I call for a Commentroversy !!! How can this, be a story of a “Single Dog”, when there is ample EVIDENCE of another dog, not to mention documentary evidence of a cat as well??????

HMMMMMMMM???????? What do you have to say for yourself, Ms. Prongs (If that REALLY IS your name??????)

14 victoreia 10.05.09 at 12:12 pm

@Blair: YES.

@resriechan: *snicker*

15 metsakins 10.05.09 at 12:14 pm

Let’s wait til Wednesday for a commentroversy. I have too much filing to do today.
That pic is too cute!

16 skippymom 10.05.09 at 12:25 pm

Resriechen, I’m remembering something from Monty Python about “a list of Liszt’s lists”. It may not have been on the show, though, I think it was in a MP book I had.

And, it took awhile but I figured out what celebrity the big dog’s face reminds me of. But I don’t dare say, because it would be pretty much guaranteed to start up a nuff-fest. Sigh.

17 Theresa 10.05.09 at 12:27 pm

Another parental pittie! Such responsible doggies! Remember the sweet pittie nanny with the puppy pockets?

18 Gigi 10.05.09 at 12:38 pm

@ skippymom, come on I dare you, say who the big dog reminds you of.
Pretty please with sugar on it an a cherry on top :-)

19 Theresa 10.05.09 at 12:39 pm

PS Was this “Take Your WaWa to Work Day”?

20 Suzanne 10.05.09 at 12:48 pm

Well, I’d say, given the eye glance, that this dog resembles Whoopi Goldberg. But only in the eyes.

21 Camille 10.05.09 at 12:52 pm

What, pray tell, is a “That’s Ruff” tag, and how does it differ from “Pups”?

22 skippymom 10.05.09 at 12:52 pm

Hey, Suzanne! Now that you’ve taken the plunge, I’ll confess that’s exactly what I was thinking. I was afraid, though, that we would have to issue disclaimers that it’s not about the color of the dog, and it’s not about comparing dogs to women, etc. It’s something about the eyes and the glasses, and that’s all. I guess we’ll have to wait, now, and see how bad a beating we take for this, eh?

23 MadameX 10.05.09 at 12:54 pm

Skippymom, would the celebrity be Whoppi Goldberg, by any chance? It’s the purple glasses, you know…

Methinks the big dog is a lawyer. And not justy because he’s a bully… ; )

24 Susan 10.05.09 at 1:21 pm

Digital dog! I love the tail wag blur.

25 Mocha 10.05.09 at 1:25 pm

At least now he doesn’t have to face the supermommies with their pedigree puppies who are getting diplomas from obedience school while Mooch is still figuring out that the litter box is for the cat and not him. :)

26 Gigi 10.05.09 at 1:27 pm

Woopi Goldberg minus the hair, yes you’re right it the glasses that does it.

27 googlie eyes 10.05.09 at 2:01 pm

Did anyone else notice he has a little rhinestone heart on his left lens (viewer’s right)? Either he’s a she or he’s extremely comfortable with his single-guy masculinity.

28 Suzanne 10.05.09 at 2:04 pm

@googlie…he’s a metro-pup-ual. :P

29 brinnann 10.05.09 at 2:05 pm

Wait, I didn’t see Whoopi. Something about the eyes and the tilt of the glasses and the shape of the head (how the eyes are set apart on it, maybe) made me think LL Cool J.

30 googlie eyes 10.05.09 at 2:09 pm

Suzanne, excellent deduction! That must be it :o ). By the way, I have a very similar pic of my first pittie foster dog on vacation in West Hollywood (complete with shades), only she has a lei around her neck. Poor, uber-tolerant pups.

31 googlie eyes 10.05.09 at 2:10 pm

Oops, I accidentally looked shocked instead of amused. I meant to make this face: :)

32 Theresa 10.05.09 at 2:31 pm

PPS: (NOSEBEEP!)

33 earlybird1 10.05.09 at 3:48 pm

i want a dog to hold my dog.

34 Trin 10.05.09 at 5:13 pm

eyes + expression+ purple glasses = Whoppi Goldberg
(&both beings are beautiful)

35 Lilitu 10.05.09 at 5:19 pm

I was just going to comment on the Whoopi Goldberg thing. It’s that sort of sarcastic look over the glasses. I love it. We are slowly achieving a CO hive mind.

36 WendyPinNJ 10.05.09 at 5:27 pm

Awww, what a cute handsome pitty! Looks very much like my Buster–only more brindle on the face! Love dem doggies!

37 ffleur 10.05.09 at 5:33 pm

that dog is rocking the white turtleneck.

38 buffy 10.05.09 at 6:33 pm

hmmmmmmmmmmmm reminds me of my brother…..

39 buffy 10.05.09 at 6:41 pm

awww little dancers

40 Michael Claymore 10.05.09 at 9:17 pm

Yeah, why does that bag say “Digital”? The dog looks analog to me…

41 Hon Glad 10.05.09 at 11:54 pm

I can remember the reverse of going to work on a Saturday. I was putting my jeans on
(work wear was a suit) and then thinking f**k its friday,back to thesuit.

42 ghansham 10.06.09 at 1:54 am

awesome, keep up coming more

43 Barbarella 10.06.09 at 1:58 am

Yes, definitely agree with other people here – it´s Whoopi Goldberg! The expression plus the glasses, it´s uncanny! :D

44 Margaret Elmendorf 10.06.09 at 4:57 am

What a cute little dog to stay in that briefcase. Great picture.

45 Courtney 10.06.09 at 5:33 am

I thought she looks like Whoopi too. The expression and glasses, plus Whoopi also has no eyebrows, like this cutie, which may contribute to the similarity.

46 resriechan 10.06.09 at 5:54 am

Well, Skippymom, looks as though *SO FAR* many CO’ers are onboard w/ the W. Goldberg possibility *WITHOUT* (shifty eyes) too many nuffers ….??????

(Hope I didn’t jinx it?? ;) )

47 googlie eyes 10.06.09 at 6:24 am

Theresa, one nosebeep or two?

48 Theresa 10.06.09 at 7:58 am

Two nosebeeps, coming right up.

49 indy1110 10.06.09 at 10:07 am

Is it just me or does that dog (biggie one) looks like Whoopie Goldberg ?? ^_^

50 skippymom 10.06.09 at 10:56 am

So…say a dog resembles Eleanor Roosevelt, and there’s hell to pay. Say a dog resembles Whoopi Goldberg, and everyone seems to be cool with that. Verrrry interesting. Not trying to start anything here, just saying that’s interesting.

[Who said the dog looks like Whoopi? Wasn't anybody at CO, and anyway, I'm just not seeing it. Is it the shades, maybe?- Ed.]

51 Resriechan 10.06.09 at 4:26 pm

@ Ed’s: For clarification, please see Comment # 16 above, then others on the topic (#’s 18 & 20, etc). NO — no cute animals, NOR CO staffers were injured by any of the shrapnel, this time around !!!!

@ Skippymom: (SIGH). Sorry. I guess I DID jinx it :(

52 Bumblebee 10.06.09 at 6:51 pm

the bulldog looks like a security guard

53 Resriechan 10.06.09 at 7:02 pm

@ Indie: NO, it is most definitely NOT just you ;) See my notes to Ed’s for the beginning of “It All” …

54 gypsy 10.07.09 at 9:18 pm

the glasses are really what sells the look. well played friend.

55 kaylin 10.08.09 at 3:59 pm

My kitties name is Mooch. She’s such a moocher.
I hope single dog gets some “me time” today.

56 Resriechan 10.08.09 at 7:06 pm

@ Kaylin:

but, do you mean, that Mooch should get some “Kaylin” time, or that
Mooch should get some “Mooch” time? And if the former, will that lead to an identity crisis, for either of you? Do you have medical insurance for the emotional/ mental therapy needs for you both? I’m very concerned as to the outcome.

“I’m so confuzed”…… :(
