My man, Stan

I babysat today, and the kids had a super busy weekend, so we mostly chilled (aka: we watched TV the entire three hours I was there). The kids were engrossed in the TV, and I was engrossed in clapping at the family dog to keep it away from me whilst I looked up Super Bowl recipes. That is, until the TV show, ‘Dog with a Blog’ came on. I normally hate children’s TV shows, but as you know, I do love funny animals, and they actually show this dog sitting at his computer, blogging (the obvious highlight). Now, not only am I aspiring to look like Carrie Bradshaw when I blog, but I’m also kinda hoping I can channel a little bit of this fella…

His name is Stan,¹ by the way… Which reminds me of something I forgot to include with my animal love/hate relationship in my biography post. Along with costumes and funny captions, I love than animals with human names. Kevin is usually a frontrunner, and my all-time favorite animal picture features a cow named Bruce. A cow. Named Bruce.

Don’t even get me started on the Sarah McLachlan commercial featuring a dog named Gary, and his friend, a cat who goes by Nathaniel.²

¹ I’m now paranoid that Stan’s blog is probably way better than mine.

² I have spent the last thirty minutes trying to find pictures of Gary and Nathaniel, but the worldwide web is failing me at this time. If anyone has information on this dynamic duo’s whereabouts, please post a link in comments. Then call Sarah McLachlan.
