happy birthday, sugarhoney!


sugarhoney tot


today is the day our little sugarsnickers turns 1. it's also the day nachodoggy would have turned 12.

we were kind of hoping for a mini-nacho, and she has kind of delivered.

she does a couple things that nacho did, that the other dogs do not do.

she runs right down to the river and swims in circles in the exact same spot nacho used to do it. 

sugarhoney swim in circles


(see nacho swim in circles)

the other dogs wait on the bank until we throw something. nacho and sugar really seem to enjoy swimming, and get in for the joy of swimming.

if she is too hot on a hike, she lies down.

sugar cooling her underside


(nacho did the same thing)

of course, she is her own dog. she is so round, it's like she's made out of beach balls. i don't know if it's a female dog thing, but to me she is the shape of the olympic rings.

sugarhoney round

she is in love with pouncey. she follows him everywhere. she is constantly thinking of new and creative ways to vie for his attention. 

who bit my tail


she gets herself uphill from him and lets loose.

heeeey pouncey

she is not afraid to jump on the couch for a snuggle.

snugs


she is calm and gentle, she wags her tail when she meets new dogs and people, and she will come, sit, and lie down when she feels like it.

mainly she is just a little skunk who fits in riiiiight there.

three happy dogs

happy birthday, sugarchunks! today you will celebrate with a meatball!

WTF Wednesday: Nacho Face, Screaming Cat-Baby, Heino


Hola Wednesday! Hola WTF!

Let's begin with a scene from a baseball game. A foul ball went into the stands, and hit this lady in the nachos.

A full minute later they flash back to her again and she still has nacho cheese all over her face! None of her nitwit friends told her. 



I abide by the "see something, say something" rule when it comes to food on friends' faces.

WTF Wednesday: Weiner Nougat, Synchronized Peeing

It's Wednesday! It's WTF!

Some weeks have more WTF than others, but this one had less. I'd done so much thrifting the week before that I skipped last week, but I still have this to present to you today.

While researching the age-old question, "What IS nougat?"* I came across this product. 



Wiener nougat.

Wiener in the Vienna sense of the word.

Last but not least, the couple who pees together...

screw you, vince lombardi sweater! i found the russia sucks hat!

in a turn of events i can only describe as tragic, some other vintage sellers from tennessee recently came into the asheville thrift zone and found a vince lombardi west point sweater, which they proceeded to sell for over $40,000

well guess who found the vintage 80's "russia sucks" *blinking light* velvet mesh trucker hat?


video of lights in action: https://instagram.com/p/2BnJroK_XX/

it is cold war chic, rocky 4 come to life. 

at the modest price of $10,000, you could buy 4 of these for one vince lombardi sweater. but good luck finding 3 more.
