WE ARE INDEED IMPRESSED BY THE TREE. IS IT OAK.
One human, four dogs, and hilarity.

Wow, she is good, isn't she? And yeah, IT IS OAK was pretty great. Thanks, a good laugh.

Sadly, I am not made of ham.

"We can blame El
Dukay for this one in particular, but now, when you tell Tasha to “Show your
tits!” she stands up on her back legs. And shows you her tits. And feminists
everywhere just dropped down dead."

I laughed so hard that I'm having trouble breathing. Thanks for this.

That was great. Mucho thanks to El Dukay. There's also a bunch of her friends, who aren't quite as funny. They do all seem to make "she is so pretty" jokes, which is sweet of them.

One of them, however, has this picture of a dog. I now love dogs; I never knew they were so ... minimal.

Good link, thanks.

LimePi, it's OK for me with my default settings, but doesn't respond well to increasing the font size. Lots of absolutely positioned elements.

But funny stuff. I laughed hard enough to spark a nasty coughing fit, and my throat hurts now. DAMN YOU SCRIM!

I am pleased that everyone laughed as hard (and embarrassingly loud, what with me being in a public computer lab) as I did.

It's official, I'm a curmudgeon.

Genuinely funny - she does write well, doesn't she? Reminds me a little of Dave Eggers. This is a good article, especially as it's about dogs and all, and should be celebrated.

Hehe, my mom is going to love this. Thanks, scrim.

Very reminiscent of the Merrill "Heh Heh My Dogs Are So Bad" Markoe essays.

I laughed a lot. Dachshunds totally rock - they have a serious attitude. My colleague at work has a Dachshund puppy named Ella who is now Queen of the office. She mainly hangs out on her owner's desk, hence her new name "Deskhund". Now I want a Deskhund...

Funny indeed. Reminded me of Dooce's writing too.

This made me laugh in the same way that Dogs in Elk did years ago...

Here's another version of Dogs in Elk: "The carnage depicted here consists entirely of vegetable matter."
