Yes, this is what Dads do

That's a good Dad, right there.

And now, a palate cleanser

I've been a bit ranty lately about our beloved Pentagon brass, so here's some cuteness to put a smile on your face.



How on earth has this only gotten 4000 views on Youtube?  You know what to do.

Friday

I know I've posted this before, but it's the weekend so here's a cute puppy.

Awwwwww!

That pup's yawning because there's no coffee.  Just sayin'.

Puppy saved from fire becomes firedog

It's been pretty ranty around this blog lately, and so here's a story to put a smile on your face:

Tiny Jake was only 3 weeks old when he found himself trapped in a burning shed. Saved by a local firefighter Bill Lindler, the pup suffered burns to 75% of his body, including his paw pads. Soon his owners abandoned him at the vet as they couldn’t afford to pay for his care. Luckily for the pooch, the same firefighter who saved him decided to adopt him too, when he heard the news.

Surrounded by loving people at the Hanahan Fire Department, Jake recovered quickly. He has become the official mascot of the Fire Department and now goes to schools to help kids learn about fire safety and what to do on emergencies. He even has his own badge! “I had plans on using Jake as a therapy dog, but have changed gears and we are focusing on training him to be an Arson Detection Dog,” Lindler told Bored Panda.

Be sure to click through to see the pictures.  I liked this one:

Sunday, Puppy Sunday

Golden retrievers at a water park.



Someone wants a Golden Retriever puppy.  Not sure how you say "no" to someone whose title includes the word "Queen" ...

Growing room

Oof

Today starts at 0800 and runs until 2200.  I'm "exercising influence" at work - "follow the sun" exercising, starting in Europe, then North America, and ending in Asia.

Blogging will be haphazard.

In the meantime, here's a picture of a cute kitten, because Internet, or something.

Of course it's not bigger inside.  2010 kitteh sez: "OMG, it's full of kittehs!"

It would be fun, they said

I'm reminded of the time when my then very young niece was visiting and she asked if we could move the cat "over there" because she wanted him "over there".  Life sure is disappointing sometimes.

Ooh rah, pup!

Sit!  Good dog.

Did you know ...

... that when it's 8:00 PM on the US East Coast, it's 8:00 AM in Beijing?  This means that when you need to have a 2 hour videoconference with a group of engineers in China, you have a late night.  So since I came home late and tired, here's a cute video of a sleepy kitten.



It's the Internet.  It has cute kitten videos.

The Internet Ice Cream machine is still calming down

Blood pressure not back to normal, and so the ice cream will be late.  But since this is the Internet, here's  acute kitten eating bacon.

Because bacon.

How the Internet works

Actually, that's exactly how the Internet works ...

Seen at the dog park

Awwww:

Wolfgang isn't the youngest or smallest puppy at the dog park anymore.  Not by a long shot.

Cute overload

Just because.

Some people have to fight to get over an inate shyness

Something tells me that this kid doesn't struggle with that.



Actually his Paso Double is better than mine.
