This dancing hairless dog hails from a dog rescue organization in South Carolina. I think my favorite part of the video is the astonished looks on the faces of the dogs in the background.

A few months ago I had to rush my cat to the Emergency After-Hours Super Expensive Vet Clinic because she got a wild hair and - with no apparent forethought or any sign of this inclination in the past - ate a four foot length of embroidery floss.
She grabbed it off my desk as I was working on some cross stitch and led me around the house in a merry chase, gobbling it frantically as she ran. (I'm just glad it was a free strand of floss, and that it had not been threaded onto a needle. Scary thought!)
This week I decided that I would delve into a subject of which I am quite fond - the end of the world. While there have been many movies made about how the world will supposedly in, ranging from humanity-destroying diseases to zombie hordes to alien invasions, few of these films manage to excel when it comes to putting together a believable post-apocalyptic world. Either they glaze over the finer details, the people in the world act like they just walked out of the modern day or the movies themselves are little more than excuses to throw together yet another action blockbuster (or failure). Some of these flicks, however, manage to get it right. Not all of those successful are necessarily serious dramas, some of them are comedies in fact, but they do all manage to leave you with the impression that whatever world you’ve just entered is indeed post-apocalyptic.
Before presenting the list, I do have to admit that I’ve not seen every post-apocalyptic movie out there. I also admit that I am somewhat biased in my choices, being that some of these are films that I’ve grown up on. Still, I think this list of 10 is a good place to start for anyone with a love of the end of the world scenario.

Last year, I made a resolution per month for 2013: take a photo every day, face a fear every day, that sort of thing. I even scheduled every. Single. One. I’m not kidding! As a result, I had a very interesting year. Our year was dotted with so many tragedies, however, that it didn’t always work out—and that’s okay. I tried a lot of new things this year (I found out that I don’t like pho soup; sorry, M!
Modeled in the style of a classic British watering hole, The Dog and Duck Pub is the perfect place to relax after a long day. They’ve won several awards during their more than 20 years of service and have a long list of loyal and happy customers singing their praises. The beer selection is amazing, featuring more than 40 brews on tap, though be aware that they don’t serve up hard alcohol - beer and wine only at the Dog and Duck. And the food there is a mix of classic British-styled pub grub and some more refined offerings for the health-conscio
