Friday Funnies

Here it is, time to publish my Friday post, and I've got writer's block. I think my brain has seized up from overuse at work.

So once again I will look to icanhas.cheezburger for some feels of the good kind. Thankfully, April is almost over and things should slow down around here soon.

Let's have some canines, today, shall we?


bird dogs



grammar dog



flower child dog



dog with a cherry (or two) on top . . . now I crave a banana split



dog not on a diet . . .




groaner joke dog




overachiever dog



self-reliant pup takes himself for a walk



Uh oh . . . things have taken an unexpected turn . . .


It must be time to wrap up this post.

I'll be back on Poetry Monday, when we will tackle the topic "in the yard" . . .

I am looking forward to having more time to myself in May. What are you looking foward to? Or alternatively, what are you dreading? Because some months are just like that.

I hope this weekend, at least, is a good one for you!

Love the dogs but, of course, the cat to finish with was my favourite today. And equally of course the cat was pleased with itself.
I hope life calms down and your brain stops whirling. I have a busy few weeks ahead but will survive.
Have a wonderful weekend.

A pup that takes itself for a walk! That's my kind of dog :)

Marie Smith said...

Love that second photo! Looking forward to more sun. A week of rain is on the way however.

That last cat slipped over to the dark side...and I like it.

Joanne Noragon said...

What can I say. I liked them all!

kylie said...

I love that over achieving dog! well, i love then all....

it's a good thing I don't do poetry Monday, in the yard might trigger me to write something awful :)

jenny_o said...

Cats are their own biggest fans, I think :)

Good luck with the busy weeks to come.

jenny_o said...

If only we could trust them to follow the walking rules :)

jenny_o said...

Yes, I see we have the same weather in store . . . maybe it's just as well for us; things are dry. We had numerous fires across the province a couple of days ago.

jenny_o said...

He did, didn't he? ha ha

jenny_o said...

Well, I'm glad!

jenny_o said...

I wonder how he even got all those stick IN his mouth!

Now I'm curious about what's in your yard, kylie :D

I'm looking forward to the new Neko Case album coming out the first of June. There are already two songs from it online.
We saw her at the Fox Theater in 2016, as a present from our friend Brenda, and it was great. The Fox has a special section for disabled folks, and Brenda bought us VIP upgrades that allowed us to use a different restroom that wasn't so crowded.
Neko is one of my favorite musicians, and got her start in Canada, as a part of The New Pornographers, who she still sings for.
In the yard sounds like a timely subject. We found half of a robin's egg out there yesterday, so I don't know if that means the baby robins have hatched, or something got one of the eggs.
Have a relaxing weekend if you can, and try not to wok any dogs...

I am looking forward to completing the first chapter and the outline of the book i am working on in May! This is the first test...

e said...

I like these...another dreaded medical appointment next week...

Martha said...

Just like a cat to sneak in like that :) I am looking forward to good weather and a lot of time spent outdoors!

Mr. Shife said...

Grammar dog was my favorite. May? Hmmm, I am not looking forward to the kids being out of school. It makes things interesting when they are home all day. Enjoy your weekend, jenny_o.

jenny_o said...

I'm impressed by her voice. Does she write the music for the background instruments? It all combines to make an unforgettable sound.

Sounds like spring is springing in your yard. And I can say for sure that I will not wok any dogs :D

jenny_o said...

And best of luck as you wade into your new project, Angela :)

jenny_o said...

I hate that kind of medical appointment. I hope yours goes better than you expect, e.

jenny_o said...

I hope it stays nice and makes up for the long wait :)

jenny_o said...

And I know just what you mean by "interesting," Mr. S . . . yes, I do . . .

I did love the time I spent with our kids at those ages and I miss having my kids around now. But parenting seems to be always feast or famine -- why can't there be a better balance? :D

dinthebeast said...

She says that she likes to co-write better than doing it by herself, but she can do every job from the thinking up of the words to the final mastering of the tracks.

I love "Overachiever dog"!! That IS quite an achievement. I'm impressed when I see a dog with just three sticks in its mouth!

Terry said...

Hi Jenny, everybody gets wrters’ block from time to time - don’t worry too much about it. I’ll still be a follower.

Dee said...

Dear Janny_o, I'm looking forward to completing the novel I'm working on. It's going through a final polish and copyediting. And also, I'm so looking forward to regular walks now that spring has decided to stay around! Peace.

jenny_o said...

She has amazing talent.

jenny_o said...

And we think we're so great with our opposable thumbs - hah!

jenny_o said...

Thanks, Terry :)

jenny_o said...

Good luck with the final steps of your novel, Dee. And I'm glad your spring has arrived! Peace to you as well.

Do hardware stores in Canada sell WD-40? If you spray some of this in your ear-holes it is guaranteed to ease your current brain seizure. As for "In The Yard", here in England we never refer to our gardens as "yards".

jenny_o said...

I'll try the WD-40 just as soon as I finish this reply - thanks!!

Re "yards" - but don't you call a "garden" what we refer to as a "yard"? And do you refer to anything but the measurement as a "yard"? Help!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

A yard would a a very small paved area - often behind humble terraced houses. Schools often have hard play areas called yards. But a garden is not a yard. Definitely not. I am just saying.

jenny_o said...

Okay, that helps - thanks!

Diane Henders said...

Hehehe! I loved the "wok" dog. (But now I'm going to have a twinge of concern the next time somebody mentions they're planning to wok the dog...) ;-)

jenny_o said...

Just give them the same look that dog is wearing . . . lol
