power nappin'

happy friday, everybuddy!  i am enjoyin' a super mega snooze in my momma's big chair to celebrate the weekend startin'.  teeheehee.  what are ya'll up to this weekend?

pee s -- pretty please don't tickle my whiskers.  it totally gives me the sneezles!!

like the coolest thingie evarrr!

hihi everybuddy!  my mama got a bloggie post in her email feed thingie the other day, and it is really super neato!

For their Driving Dogs campaign, SPCA Auckland, along with MINI New Zealand, had animal trainer Mark Vette and his team teach rescue dogs Monty, Porter, and Ginny how to drive. The campaign’s aim was to change some common misconceptions about the intelligence of rescue dogs. In this series of videos, you can see how the dogs learned to drive and, in this video, you can watch Porter drive a MINI Countryman around a track. The specially modified was customized for the dog’s use by Ikon Engineering.  (via Laughing Squid)

porter, monty, and miss ginny are the three lucky ducky doggies who got to go drivin'!  aren't they all kinds of crazy cuteness?  i hope they find their forevarrr homes in like 2 seconds.  they can even drive themselves there! teeheehee.

autumn's arrival

greetings, dear friends!  it is i, asa.  with sheer delight, i wish to inform you that autumn most graciously agreed to make its presence known here in south carolina!  there are few things i anticipate with as much joy as autumn's arrival.  it is my most cherished season of the year.  the slight chill in the air, the mosaic of leaf colors on trees, attiring one's self in cozy sweaters and sweatshirts -- these are but a few of the myriad of pleasures autumn has to offer.  

you can imagine my glee when i perceived the sufficiently chilled air temperature and came to the realization that i could at last wear my prized magenta hoodie sweatshirt!  among its numerous useful features, my hoodie sweatshirt affords me the opportunity to enjoy a quick power nap whilst sitting up, without the risk of catching a chill.

a lovely power nap whilst sitting 

alas, my mother finds this amusing and brought it upon herself to procure pictures of said event.  may i express to you the annoyance of being disturbed in the middle of a power nap?

why, no, mother, i am NOT amused by your disturbance.

if by some fortuitous event i ever acquire opposable thumbs, you can rest assured that i shall return the favor!
