Oh, you people. With the peer pressure. When someone suggests that my very own little scrappy puppy should get a weekly tribute, what am I supposed to do? When another dog owner points out that I could complete a trifecta of doggie cuteness, how can I refuse? When yet another voice decrees that, indeed, “the people” are in agreement, I am powerless to resist. Despite my reticence to post actual pictures on this here site, the pull toward Thursday-Tedsday was too strong for me, a mere tiny Asian girl who gets her lanky husband to lift things for her.
Still, I couldn’t fully buy into it. Thursday-Tedsday doesn’t rhyme nearly as nicely as Roosday-Tuesday or Wednesday-Bensday; I feel inferior. Besides, what does it say about me if I simply collapse under the weight of several, virtual nudges? Was all that D.A.R.E. role-playing for naught? What about my principles? That I have this site to write. That I don’t need a weekly feature to fill the space. Right?
On the other hand — cute puppy! It’s for the greater good!
With my internal conflict actualized, I present my version of what we will know informally as Thursday-Tedsday, but will be publicly known as Dogarazzi, mostly because that’s how I felt as I snapped picture after picture. But also because, um, I like to use puns whenever possible. Heh.
Without further ado (e.g. hemming and hawing about whether I’m a sell-out), I present: Dogarazzi: Chew Toy Edition!

This is too exciting! Now three days of the week are full of puppy cuteness!
And I think that posting pictures is a great way to enhance your writing. Isn’t a picture worth a thousand words? So, in this post, you wrote over 2000 words. I think that’s some pretty darn good writing!
Speaking of puppy cuteness, your Rufus is just too much.
peer pressure! (sorry, sort of. or not at all)
I love dogarazzi!
Yay, I’m glad! I agonized over the pictures - are they too big? not clear enough? - until JG put the kibosh on the futzing.
Dogarazzi! I love it! He is so stinkin’ adorable I can hardly stand it!
And, you know, if it makes you feel better, Dogarazzi doesn’t have to be the ONLY thing you post on Thursdays. You could still write whatever you want and just include the Dogarazzi picture post as an added bonus. Everyone wins!
If nothing else, this feature will help me to condense my dog-centric writing. Look at this - three dog posts in three days! Clearly, I must be stopped. Or, at least, slowed down…
Yes! It’s not peer pressure, it’s democracy!!
Oh, good lord. I think they overlapped, at the VERY least, here.
He’s adorable!
And trust me, he’s using it to every advantage…
