I’m not sure what they were thinking when they came up with this idea, but this is what happens when you dress up as a Zebra, try and become one of the pack, and then eventually get mauled by some baby cubs that don’t like your act.
Watching this dog ride a bike is absolutely classic. I love how he rides side by side with the other kids. Hysterical!
For some reason, when I listened to this kid, it reminds me of the old Police Academy movies with the guy that created all those sounds. In any case, this kid is incredibly talented. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it! Enjoy.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, there have been 20 confirmed cases of Swine Flu in humans in the United States. So far there have been cases reported in California (7), Kansas (2), New York City (8), Ohio (1) and Texas (2), prompting a public health emergency being declared in the United States.
We have not seen any cases of pets being affected by Swine Flu to date. The Doctors and experts state that the genetics between humans and our pets are different, so the flu virus that “fits in” with our genetics would not fit in with a dog or cat.
Most animal flu strains do not infect humans, but this strain, Swine Influenza A, has been all over the news because of the mutation that makes humans susceptible.
Based on all the information we have gathered to date, there is no risk of Swine Flu to your dog or cat.

Here are this Summer’s Ad campaign for Guess, you guessed it, Paris Hilton and her prized Chihuahua. I’ll have to leave the commentary to you on this one!
I loved the original Heineken commercial with the girls freaking out about the shoe closet, and then the guys freak out about the walk-in fridge with the beers. The Cleveland Cavaliers then made a spoof of this commercial, and then most recently, Heineken took this one step further, and created the “walking fridge”. I love it when the beer commercials start heating up – we are always the beneficiaries. Below are all 3 versions for your enjoyment, with the newest one first!
