mine talks! i used to think it would be cool to have a talking dog, but after having one, not so much, especially on sunday mornings when i want nothing more than to sleep in.

Very cute family members. I'm afraid we top you all right now with 2 dogs, English Cockers named Jazz and Katie, 2 cats named Smudge and Elsanora Mama Gatta, and 2 bunnies named Honey and Sugar.

While my dogs don't talk, they do watch TV. Which would be very cute, except for the barking. I find it utterly amazing sometimes that they can be asleep or in another room and they SENSE that dog on TV and they must come and bark at it.

I too am impressed that Coco kept it together!

The end was awesome! Nicely done Chuck. And Alice, I can completely relate to that huge pussy. We have two full grown shelter cats. One weighs 6 lbs and is gorgeous and lean. And then we have GIGANTOR who was an adorable kitten with an extremely long tail who has grown into approximately 22 lbs of ?! Fur? Flab? I dunno. It's hard to manage the big fellas weight and insure that the other cat doesn't starve to death.

Chuck is simultaneously the cutest and weirdest dog ever.

So, Heather, ever considered slipping that emo pooch of yours some of your meds? He's sensitive? I guess that's one way to put it!

By the by, does he do the same thing if anyone sneezes?

chuck is so neurotic that it is adorable :-)

like kellyjcallahan, our zoo outnumbers yours also...three dogs, two horses and a barn cat who just adopted us....

so what did you have coco drugged up on??

That's it, Dooce. We're moving in with you. Cute glowworm babies, precocious and hilarious leta, ADORABLE dogs. You've exceeded the level of awesomeness allowed in one household. We're packing our bags and moving in with you guys. I think it'll even things out a bit.

The cough cracked me up.

Our dog gets scared and takes off, her head low, whenever my husband sneezes (but she doesn't even lift her head up if I sneeze). We adopted her at age 10, and she was already neurotic - I take no responsibility!

I love how Chuck gave you that look that germaphobe people give you when you cough. The "OMG I must go wash my hands NOW" look.

haha #17 I had the same exact thought. It's like Chuck went "Oh god, some are SO rude!" Like you just coughed in his face while talking about having the plague.

I love dogs and cats and even guinea pigs(just because the jump when they move) but my husband doesn't want pets. Maybe when the kids are older. Until then I have a few finches that drive him batty with the singing.

I think Chuck has been watching too much CNN and happened to catch the segment about pets catching the H1N1 virus. He's just being cautious and a tad paranoid.

Coco cracks me up.

Love Chuck. My fabulous, neurotic, rescue dog leaves the room every time I suck in my breath when I'm scared/startled (usually while watching TV), but comes running back in when I'm laughing. He's the best.

omg they are all so cute, even the giant pussy!

I may have previously commented on this particular... horror, but it's worth repeating. You think Coco eating her own poop is gross? It is. What's grosser? The night my three-year-old had just left a giant deposit in the little Baby Bjorn potty (now known as the dog bowl), and as I was cleaning her up, strange noises began emanating from the bathroom. I screamed so loud when I realized my pinhead of an Australian Shephard was EATING THE POOP, my boyfriend came running upstairs ready to call 911 and do battle with the intruder. I filed that one under "Too Gross For My Own Blog."

That is the most awesome video ever. My dog is a perfect mixture of Chuckles and Coco. She is very reserved in her own way, but she is more neurotic than Coco could ever be. My dog was a rescue dog also - and all they told me when I got her was "Yeah, make sure she has a crate". Hmmm. Okay. So I get her a crate. Turns out she has massive separation anxiety and first time I left her alone in that crate she clawed her way the hell out of the crate to the point she had bloody paws. I had to spend about 2 grand on a dog trainer to teach my dog to not be so much of a psychopath. But really? She is the most lovely, sweet dog who wouldn't hurt a fly. You could pull a porkchop outta her mouth and she would lick your face instead of bite your hand off.

It is wonderful how even when our pets are psychos in their own way, they are still such a blessing. I can't imagine life without my neurotic dog.

And seriously? I want to kidnap your dogs. They are so effing cute. And the coughing part of that video? Made me wet my pants.
