Blind Leading the Blind....

Morning, everyone.  A very good Monday to you.  Hope you all enjoyed your weekends.

Came across a really great story depicted on THIS youtube clip.  Essentially, a blind man's seeing eye dog began leading him astray and he found out that the poor dog was having vision problems and needed immediate care.  Check out the video and see what happens...don't worry...its a happy ending.

For those of you who don't know....we often run fantastic comedy benefits for needy animals.  Our last benefit at Gotham comedy club was a great success....a sell out, actually.  We raised some great funds, gave away some awesome raffles, but we still need your help.

Our next show is coming up and we need you to come!  Tell a friend(s)!!!

Fry Day!

Fastfood is delicious.  A lot of people would think so.  The few that don't are health conscious and probably are in way better shape than the average person.  Good for you.

Most people (speaking generally, not to you healthy people) like to enjoy some fastfood every week or so.  Delicious fries, hearty burgers, happy meals, and odd concoctions incorporating pancakes, sausage, egg, and little syrup pellets into one creation.  These are what we reach for.

That being said, some people are okay with giving their dog a taste.  Why not, right?  They are your best friend.  Wrong!!!  Don't do it!  I know your dogs are cute, lovable, and loyal, but don't.


CLICK HERE to read why.

Don't know if I mentioned it or not, but there's an awesome comedy show coming up....




Help out some needy animals and get some laughs.  No brainer, right?

Hellos, Happenings, and Howdy-do's!

Good morning and salutations to you all.  It's Thursday, the day that kind of feels like Friday, but leaves you empty inside after you realize its not and you have to work tomorrow.  Kind of a bummer, huh?

Well, being a Libra, I believe in balance, so I have some good news now.  Behold below for a happening that you're sure to have interest in....


This (the above flier) seems like a great event and you should most definitely check it out.

In addition!  You want more positives?  Well...do you like to laugh?  I mean...do you like to heartily laugh?  Do you like animals?  Do you love animals?  Well...you're in luck....


A great show for a great cause.  It's more than a night out...its quality time and a way to help an animal in need.  Don't tell me that's not rad, because it is!

That Dog is a Punk!

Some people got it.  They were always the favorite.  Always the popular kid in school, at work, or at the bar.  They smile, they say the right thing, and they are the person that you've always wanted to be.

On the other side of that equation...well...there's me..lol.  I'm not the popular kid.  I'm not the one who smiles or makes nice.  I'm not the one who tries to win everyone's favor or be in the spotlight.  I'm the punk.



Now being a punk isn't to say that you're a bad person.  I've known several punks who were incredibly nice.  Speaking for myself, I can say that despite my glum, harsh, somewhat menacing exterior, there is a slightly likable guy in there somewhere.

Now, that being said...lets connect this to a topic that actually involves animals, okay?  Okay!

You're probably asking yourself...."hows he gonna tie this all together?"

Well, with THIS ARTICLE of course!  This article focuses on dogs in terms of socializing and even gives some advice as to how get them to join in a little more.  It even focuses upon those darn "punk" dogs and gives an insight as to why they might be so anti-social.  Worth a read.

Good tie-in, right?

Know how you can better socialize yourself (here comes another tie-in!)?  Well, by attending a fantastic comedy event that will improve upon animal's lives (This past weekend, Stewie to the Rescue helped pay for the surgery for a 2 year old Yorkie who had an intestinal blockage) and will give you some laughs in return.


Be there or be square, folks:

Bowl Aftermath.....

Good morning and a good Monday to you.  So...enjoy your game?  Did it live up to expectations?  Keep you on the edge of your seat?  Everything you hoped it'd be?  I was watching "Knocked Up" on regular t.v. and I enjoyed it lol.

Besides the game itself, the Superbowl is generally noted for its commercials.  The basic consensus I've heard is that they really sucked.  Big letdowns all around.  One commercial they are talking about is from Doritos.



Now some are saying that it has tones of animal cruelty in it, others dismiss it as dark humor...basically harmless fun.  What do you think?

Want to be fully entertained with no aspect of animal cruelty?  Want to laugh, drink, be merry, and support a cause that benefits animals in need?  Well...look no further...

Supper Bowl

That's right.  I did it.  I purposely alluded to supper as to super.  Want to fight about it?



I know today is Super Bowl Sunday and there's tons of people gearing up for a big day of watching football, eating, and probably passing gas.  This is inevitable...the spices in buffalo sauce practically guarantee this...but I digress.

Though today is a day for fun, don't forget your dog.  Get your butt up and walk him during lulls (yeah, like you'll do that) or take him out during half time.  Also, don't let him get too caught up in the festivities.  Meaning...don't let him chow down like you are.

THIS ARTICLE gives you some insights as to what snacks (given in moderation and sparingly) would be okay for your dog to enjoy with you.  What ever you do, don't feed your dog a six foot hoagie.  Send that my way.

So...as the day moves forward, gear up, and enjoy.  Have fun and root for your favorite teams and be entertained.  Speaking of entertainment....


TTYS,
Stewie

All about the smarts...

Good afternoon, everyone.  Hope you're all having a splendidly frigid and icy Friday.  Weather forecast calls for more sucky weather and icy conditions.  Enjoy.

So, on Facebook yesterday, our founder, Harris Bloom, posted a video of him and Stewie from a few years back.  He was on CBS with Stewie as part of a test as to dog response times to certain situations.  Stewie came in #2, but Harris reassured him on camera that he was number one to him.  Very nice.

So..seeing this post got me looking online and I came across this site that depicted the top ten smartest dog breeds.  You can view their results HERE.

I love lists and ratings, so I found it quite interesting.  Hope you do.

Spider-Man isn't the only hero in NYC....

Good Morning,

I might be overstating things, but I think that everyone enjoys a hero story.  I think hero stories appeals to the kid in each of us.  They remind us of a time where things weren't so convoluted and the world wasn't interpreted as so shady.  I think the only ones who don't like the hero, are the villains, but I think that's just how it goes.



Anyhow, I happened to find a video on youtube that I thought was really cool.  This time it involves two dogs (one of which is the hero of the story), which are revealed to be family.  I'm a sucker for stories like this.  Check it out for yourself right HERE.

What'd you think?  Pretty cool, right?  All he needs is a cool costume.  Maybe even a cape.  Maybe not.  Not sure if he could work the cape or not.

Speaking of heroes and such, you yourself can be a hero to a needy animal by attending our upcoming comedy fundraiser which will be happening at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC on Wed. Feb. 23rd.  Show starts at 8pm and features a super-powered comedic line-up the likes you haven't seen before (perhaps an overstatement, but they are all incredibly funny).

Note the following flier for all the info:





Be there or be square.  Be a hero to a needy animal!

Go ahead...look at the backside....

I know.  Spicy blog title, right?  Well, we aim to turn heads around here, so there you go.  In truth, the title does reflect the subject matter for today's blog.

Ever wonder if your dog likes you?  I mean, you can kind of get a vibe when a person likes you, but what about your dog?  That's a tough one, right?  Well...I happened to find an article that directs you to look at your dog's tail to determine where you stand...hence the backside comment.

The article is pretty interesting and you can check it out by CLICKING HERE.  So...what did you find out?  Does your pooch like you or are they just humoring you? lol.

Speaking of humor....(here comes the shameless comedy tie-in) we have a great comedy fundraiser coming up on Feb. 23rd at Gotham Comedy Club.  Have you saved the date yet?  If not, jump on it.  Funny comics, intoxicating drinks, and great raffles for a great cause.  It's a win/win situation.
