A Song About Treats

Well, sort of. It's kind of a stretch to turn this song, performed by the Jerry Sires Band at Botticelli's earlier this month, into a song about dogs. The song could be sung from the point of view of a dog who wants its owner to "scratch my back and run your pretty fingers through my hair." Muzzy is all for that. There's also talk of behaving and treats, as you'll discover when you click below. Actually, the real connection to Dog Park is the band's able bass player, Dean (standing, center stage, not in cowboy hat or Hawaiian shirt), owner of Bindi, Muzzy's best dog park friend. Rock on, Dean! Enjoy. -z

The right music can make even the most mundane video seem exciting. A case in point:

"Is My Dog Retarded?"

We all know a dog who is what my friend Stacey terms "Special Needs." Sweet, but kind of a doofus or needy or shy, the SN dog gets dissed by the other dogs and can't quite deal with the trappings of modern life, such as doors, stairs, cars, sewer grates, or the noise from the television. This post from Hyperbole and a Half, a blog by artist and snarker Allie Brosh, perfectly captures that moment when a dog owner wonders if her dog is perhaps lacking the correct number of working neurons and synapses. I think it will make you smile. Enjoy. -z
