what's yella bear doing?

shining bright like a diamond at overton bark.

puppy wednesday continues...

with a tail of woe from memphis. everyone's favorite yellow lab, yella bear, went swimming in a pond and got a gigantic thorn in his paw. it was so big that it required minor surgery to remove it. they put him under general anesthesia and then gave him a sedative, so when he came out he was pretty stoned. that in concert with wearing a dopey cone made for some hearty laughs.

here's the thorn. check out the blood!

Here he is with a shameful cone on his face. note the bandage on his leg.

deep-throating his bone.

good news for downtown memphis

"the old bridge," the harrahan bridge, is going to transform into a pedestrian / bike link between downtown memphis and west memphis, arkansas, across the mississippi river. federal funding was just approved (thanks barak) for this and for infrastructure improvements throughout the downtown area. good things are happening downtown. via via

what is yella bear doing?

being a racist.

he did this to himself, btdubs. as a joke. against middle eastern women, it seems.

not funny, andrew jackson.

bless his heart.

everyone pray to baby jesus that yella bear's final heart wormz test comes back clean today. it's been a long journey, and he is due for a clean bill of health!

gchatz w/ yella bear's mom.

me: i saw what he can do with his leg
while sitting
rachel: (redacted strategy discussion)
me: just push him a little further
rachel: i think thats his bad leg
ill probably break his damn hip while trying to make him human
me: he's not THAT old is he?
rachel: no, but he definitely does a bunny hop with his back end
he might have injured it at some point or, like a lot of labs, he's in the beginning phases of hip dysplasia
me: sounds like he's in the beginning phases of a lot of excuses

TOOPZ PUPPEH EURO CHALLENGE!!!

i have a proposal for a little friendly competition!!

three of 2Pz most avid readers also happen to have three great puppies. coincidence? idts. after noticing the juxtaposition of bella's new trick and that semi-human-ing dog....i thought: gosh, would i love to see a dog i know do some humaning. so i propose a triple-face-off, between:

1) hank baker mooney
2) isabella swan
3) yella bear jackson

submit some photos of your pups looking really dignified and sitting like a person. and we'll have a poll to choose the winner. ok?!

what is yella bear doing?

recuperating from an exhausting weekend in the boro, where he met his uncle nike for the first time. they just wore each other out.

thx rachel!

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

rachel's puppy will keep his name, of SIR CHARLES BARKLEY!

except that she already started calling him "bo jackson", which is confusing because it wasn't even one of the poll options. he'll always be yella bear in my heart!
