Dogs Love Weekends
Chuck and I had a quick photoshoot recently, wherein Jon teased him with the Nylabone and I tried diligently to capture Precious Moments. Maybe only other dog owners will understand this, but it's FUCKING HARD to get clear photographs of a dog when that dog is cranked!, and his father is holding his favorite toy mere inches out of reach.

Chuck has such beautiful pearly whites! Don't know if you're planning to add any human babes to the pack, but speaking from experience, don't be surprised (or feel guilty) that if/when you do that you will still have taken more pictures of Chuck than of them. :)

I love the up-the-snoot, eyes-buggin' one especially. I can almost smell his breath.

Chuck's teeth looks scary in the first few, but the last one is priceless =D

Man, now I want a dog. Unfortunately I can't afford one right now. Bummer. I guess I'll just have to keep reading about yours. Just wanted to say thanks for the site, never fails to make me laugh. And that song is very nice indeed.

Does it seem to anyone else that in the third picture from the top Chuck is giving his reasons for his stance on the war with Iraq?
He looks like hes giving a speech.

My thoughts about Chucks smart thinkings:
1pic)"Throw me that fucking camera man, watch me catching it".
2) "I said the camera!"
3) Dave's one lol
4) "I'm Marylin Monroe ah"
5)"hand,stick,hand,stick..hand yum"
7) "Im gonna pretend u didn't mean that"
8)"shush now"

strangest thing ever... i didn't click your "this song" link because i was already listening to a cd and was too lazy to get up and turn it off. when i finished reading, i went back to at least take a peek at what the song was. and what song was coming from my cd player at that EXACT moment? "o is the one that is real," my morning jacket. swear on my life.

Gotta say, the storytelling arc from Ferocious Chuckô to Zonked Chuckô is excellent. Good composition, humane storytelling.
Moreover, he mimics how I feel right now--snarly and sleepy.

is that a bone or a human femur you found in your psycho ex-neighbor's garbage?
01.18.03 - 08:56 AM / 24anna said:
why don't you do some like these pics but with you as the subject and scrumptious jon elusively holding a taco bell tostada in front of your face. THAT i'd like to see.

I RUV puppers! PUPPERS!!!

I totally sympathize, about trying to get clear pictures when they're spazzing out.
I hope Chuck won't take it the wrong way, but my little homo boy dog loves him.

a.) CHUCK. gah.
b.) Oh god. I was friends with part of that band in high school. Gak.

SO.
may the dogs of war be unleashed on you, d00ce, for making this a 'dog-lover' blog. i remember the gold old days... i could be wrong, but perhaps it's the inner mormon in you. don't get me wrong, i love the way u think heather. every other person that posts here comes for a reason. and then there are those rat-bastards, that donít have a take, to yet still graze in your pasture.
alright, so you canít give us the latest digs on giovanni ribisi or some other cut-rate actor (ok..ok, gio was good in SPR), but simply put you're in boring 'ol mormon-mind-controlled utah. {end rant}.
perhaps you can find an asian-mormon dba (amdba). think about the possibilities. exploit him. make him a star on the d00ce walk of fame...
not in a bad way, though. you know how to free this hypothetical amdbaís mind. or, at the very least, fuck his head up so completely, that he (maybe even a she, for a changeÖ yeah, with pictures) would give you enough content to write a hunter s thompson-style book.
can d00ce heal those in need of a perception change? or d00ce, d00ce baby, are you the anti-christ?.
OK.. i admit that iíll still be reading the chuck ones (my wife is simply enamored with him). and by the way, youíve seen, youíve read - we all miss the photos. lates.

oh - and "his father"?
please. get pregnant. you need kids that are not entirely covered in fur.
or if they are, do not look like chihuahuas when you shave them.
