The researchers identified the most frequently understood words, as well as the factors that may play a role in a dog’s comprehension, such as breed and level of training. Here’s […]

Famous Dogs for National Dog Day

I don’t know if this an specifically American day, but I have a feeling it is. However, I love the doggos…In case you could not tell. So…Why not!

I think that the three most famous dogs are probably between Lassie and Lady and the Tramp.

I’m not going to list these in what order who I think the most well-known dogs are. If you want to add to my list, please feel free.

There’s just something special about dogs. They give us so much and ask for little in return. Just love and feed them, take them for a walk every now and then…That’s it…They’re so easy and non-complicated. Even when they have something go wrong, they’re still so easy. Just love them and try to feed them ❤

  • Beethoven, I think a lot of us have watched that movie at least once!
  • Toto! Your little dog too!
  • Copper *insert tears here*
  • Bruiser
  • Otis from Milo and Otis
  • Zero – Jacks ghost dog.
  • Dodger from Oliver and Company
  • Halloweenie!

I actually still don’t feel comfortable talking about my Pipster at this time. I’ve just been feeling very hollow without her, and seeing everyone talk about how grateful they are for their doggos during the year. While feeling happy and VERY lucky, I can’t help but feel sad.

In regards to puzzle what’s your choice: jigsaw, crossword, word search, mazes, logic or numeric puzzles, something else, or nothing?

I actually enjoy all of them. Except for numeric puzzles, mainly because though Maths is not my best skill. =P

List at least five favorite treats and it doesn’t necessarily have to be food.

  • Peppermint sticks. I just bought a few of them recently, I haven’t had them for years! They are fantastic!
  • Is there anything better than a bath with nice smelling candles?
  • A hot chocolate on a cold Winters night.
  • Anything nacho cheese Doritos flavoured, you just have to be careful that they don’t have palm oil in them.
  • New clean sheets on the bed =D

What is your favorite type of dog? (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

I have always wanted, but I know I would never ever get. Would be either a Rottweiler or a Husky, or even the two together! I love how they are just so cuddly and they have such a horrible reputation. I’m sensible enough to know that I could never control them though, I am far too laid back.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

These two ❤

What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?

This is an interesting question because there is actually a colour that I really love to wear, but normally when I’m feeling a bit more extroverted. I like to wear red when I’m feeling a bit “extra”, but I cannot wear it when I’m feeling shy. So this is a really interesting question. I do have this kind of awareness, that certain colours can project certain emotions. When I’m at work for example as well, I tend to wear, not all black, but darker colours. Colours like purples, blues. I do have a green top and I love the colouring of the green, but I haven’t been brave enough to wear it anywhere.

What is your favorite type of dog? (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

Although I do have and have had Pomeranian and Chihuahuas as the only dogs that we have ever had. The type of dogs that I have always wanted is either a Husky, or a Rottweiler. They just always seems like really sweet dogs especially when they are properly taken care. However, I will probably never get one because I know that they would be a lot to handle, I’m too laid back really.

List at least five favorite flowers or plants.

  1. Roses (I know, cliche)
  2. Lilies…I know they are the “death flower” but they are so gorgeous!
  3. Cherry Blossoms…They are so beautiful!
  4. I actually kind of like cactus, they are sort of weirdly beautiful.
  5. There’s nothing better than a big old oak.

What inspired you this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I have had a lot happen this week, some good, some not so good…and this all I can think of…A lot of people like being treated like dirt…lol…Not the nicest of inspiration, but it was just something that I’ve noticed. I have always been of the mind of why make your life harder than it already is? I’m starting to wonder if some people actually enjoy it? It has inspired me in the way though that maybe I am normal,lol…I have more of a good self esteem. I might actually write  Blog about some things that have been happening to me this week, because it’s been a really odd week,lol

If you had to have your vision corrected would you rather: glasses or contacts? Or what do you use if you need to have your vision corrected?

Glasses! I can’t imagine having to try and put something in my eye >.< lol

Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?

Before I met my partners cat, I was more of a dog person. I didn’t hate cats or anything, I just got along better with dogs. When I met my partners cat though, it was like love at first sight =D lol He was just so sweet and affectionate, and sometimes when my partner hugs his cat, they end up fighting,lol…Nothing nasty, they just like to stir each other up and I swear that his cat looks at me like “Why aren’t you helping me out here?lol

If you were to buy a new house/apartment what is the top three items on your wish list?

My partner and I have actually talked about this before. We would both love to have a room where we can could display things. We both have a few things, that are just in a cupboards that need to be just shown. Hopefully to have everything working well. An amazing bathroom, where you can look out at a nice view, but people couldn’t look in!

There is a reason that I wrote my Post this week about Twitch. I was having a really rough day last Friday and I haven’t been that bad in a really long time. I was very lucky though and I went and watched the Twitch streamer Bajo Luckily that day that he was doing a really amazing stream and he did a charity stream that raised $2000.00 in a hour! Listening to people’e story was hard, but neither could I stop listening. It was amazing. Please check him out!

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger? 

Haha! I made a comment a few months ago about this very subject. I am hug-non-hugger,lol…I have an issue with hugging people mainly when I feel uncomfortable around them, or when they call you weird or something for not wanting to hug. I have some issues when being hugged mainly by the male gender after an incident with a male friend. It’s not something I feel comfortable with explaining and feel like I shouldn’t have too. If I don’t want to hug, I don’t want too.

What is your least favorite Candy?

Anything with that aniseed flavour, I can’t do it. It just tastes horrible to me. My tongue does not like it.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “fun”?

Honestly, I think of my dog. She just loves us being around, and having “her family” around her and whenever we are around, she’s just fun. She even makes waking up pleasant, she’s so cute and wiggles a lot when we wake up. It’s hard not to feel like fun when something is just fun and lovely to be around.

List of Favorite Smells: What smells do you love? Whether it’s vanilla scented candles or the smell of coffee in the morning or the smell of a fresh spring rain…make a list of all the things you love for a little aromatherapy.

  • When you first open up that new jar of instant coffee, moccona coffee, indulgence…Bliss!
  • My dog sometimes has this popcorn smell when she’s been sleeping for a long time, mainly during Winter…Makes me hungry too,lol.
  • I have this candle that I’ve only burned a bit the once, I loved the smell so much and when I went back to get more there were none left! So I’ll probably never burn it again.
  • I love the smell of freshly mowed grass at the beginning of Spring, after Winter has started to die down.

What is the most fun thing you did in school?

It would have to be a toss up between my Media Studies class and my Classical Studies class. I actually did Drama and I loved it, but there were such fights about who got what parts on the major performance, it became less fun. Media Studies I got to learn how to make films, shows, film editing. My Classical studies have stayed with me.

What is your favorite type of dog?  (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

I actually really love Rottweilers, I think that they are just gorgeous! I would choose Wolf, but for some reason I read this question as a Dog I could actually have, as my own. My dad’s friends had one (I think he might have been crossed with a Great Dane as well or something, he was huge!) and he was lovely. Unfortunately my Dad’s friend did not control him very well, and he got to rough with a police officer and they had to put him down…I was quiet angry about that, she never should have bought him. It was why I would never own one, I know better.

You are invited to a party that will be attended by many fascinating people you never met.  Would you attend this party if you were to go by yourself?

I think that I would be intrigued so much by it that I would just go to the party, even though I would probably be uncomfortable and nervous. You know that if you didn’t go, you’d regret it.

Talking Animals FTW!
