If you know me, you know that I’m a dog person. I’m really an all-around animal person, but I especially enjoy dogs (much to my sister’s chagrin). You know all about our dog, Fritz (a.k.a. Fritzstoferson, Fritzgerald, Fritzmas, Brutus or Bubba) from reading yetanotherblog…I really should get back to my TGIFritz theme.
Well, I came across this blog called BARK a while back and have been following it ever since. I’ve been resisting making mention of it on my blog out of a fear that you all would realize how much of a dog nerd (derd?) I actually am.
This photographer, Erin Vey has many things going for her. She has a cute house and style, she lives in my home state, she has an AWESOME Great Dane (I’ve been nagging J for a Great Dane for going on 3 years now. The man has super-human resistance…..mostly to Great Dane sized yard ornaments in a LA sized yard), AND she is a FANTASTIC photographer. Really. She’s great.
Today’s photos are so great that I absolutely had to share them with you. I’m a sucker for puppies and this puppy just about slayed me. I mean, look at him. And the name? Augustus? C’mon. Killin’ me softly. This is certainly not helping my puppy fever, but I do love looking at her photos.
Some of you may be wondering if I would pay to have pictures taken of The Fritz. You mean, would I pay a session fee startingat $250 for pictures of this dog?
I think the real question is would anyone actually take money to photograph him? Maybe if he were sleeping or drugged.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”
That was my first reaction. Check it out, though. It’s pretty cool….and revealing. My most common word is “something” – nice. I think I need some quality time on thesaurus.com.
(I can’t figure out how to get it to show up bigger, so you’ll have to click on it.)

Yes, folks, the best week of the year has arrived. It’s Shark Week on Discover Channel! Set your Tivos, DVRs and VCRs (if you’re still back in the 90s). You DO NOT want to miss this spectacular Selachimorpha week.
Those of you who are not familiar with the superior programming that is Shark Week may be wondering why a seemingly normal person like me would be so excited about a week that features shows about one of the scariest predators on earth. You have obviously never had the pleasure of watching Shark Week and your shark knowledge probably includes trivia you’ve picked up from Jaws and possibly Deep Blue Sea. You see, I was once like you, thinking all sharks were basically the same. That is, blood-thirsty monsters that attack for the pleasure of the attack. Granted, there are some pretty aggressive sharks out there, but if you’d like to know the truth about the hundreds of varieties of this amazing creature….
WATCH SHARK WEEK!
This year’s Shark Week began with the MythBuster’s Shark Special. The MythBuster’s always do a great job. Even now, I’ve already learned that the myth of using magnets to repel sharks is in fact false, unless the shark you’re trying to repel is a 5lb baby shark. In that case, you could probably just push it away.
