It’s All Downhill From Here

Friday, April 8th, 2011

I don’t know what inspired this…The fact that Brian and I were both immediately on board for this experiment without any hesitation whatsoever makes me wonder if perhaps Sid is chanting suggestive mantras into our ears while we sleep:  “You will feed me straight from the peanut butter jar.  You will feed me straight from the peanut butter jar.  You will feed me straight…” and so on and so on.

In our defense, the peanut butter jar was basically empty.  We just needed some way to clean out those last morsels…you know, so we could toss it in the recycling.  I mean, why waste water when there’s a pug on hand who will be more than happy to lick that jar clean, right? Water is a precious and limited commodity, but a pug’s appetite for peanut butter is renewable and unrelenting. We did this for the planet, people.  We did it for YOU.  Okay? OKAY?  *hangs head in shame*

Play Time!

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Sid is known for being a very serious dog; he’s not a tail-wagger. When he’s at the dog park, he usually takes on the policeman or bouncer role, ensuring that no dog is having too much fun. Occasionally, though, he’ll cut loose and play like a puppy. This usually happens immediately following bath time.

So here it is: Photographic evidence that Sid can actually have fun and play like a normal, well-adjusted dog.

Your Daily Siddhartha (Days 9 and 10)

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Here are two more installments of Your Daily Siddhartha, the daily video diary that our friend Adam made while Jenn and I were on a European vacation back in April of 2010 (For more backstory, please check out the post for Days 1 and 2).

These two videos showcase Sid’s range – from tough leg-kicking roustabout, to lovable deadpan scamp.

Day 9: Sid tries to look tough in front of the construction guys.

Day 10: Here’s what happens when you try to manufacture funny with Sid.

Christmas Toy Round-up Part II

Friday, December 31st, 2010

After Sid had plucked all the chickens from the coop, he was ready to move on to more dangerous critters: S-S-S-S-SNAKES!

Aunt Erin and Uncle Will got Sid a Snake in the Grass toy by Kyjen for Christmas. The puzzle-type toys really get Sid fired up and this one provided an added twist – elastic. There are four snakes inside the “grass” – 1 baby snake that is removable and 3 larger snakes that stay attached to the grass via elastic bands. So now when Sid extracts a snake, it flings around on the elastic as he hunts for the rest.

The baby snake is his favorite.

Since words can only do so much, here is another “Sid Vid” that demonstates Sid’s snake hunting destroying skills.

By the way, the music featured is Brooklyn’s own Baby Soda who I caught the other night at Bar Bès. They play really great old-time toe-tappin’ jazz.

Conehead

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Okay, long story short: Sid’s wearing a cone around his head:

We recently weaned him off his hydrocortisone for the winter (which will be explained in a future follow-up post to my earlier allergy post), and ever since, he’s been gnawing on all four of his feet and scratching away at his poor little chin.

I’m half-convinced that all of this paw chewing is due to boredom, so I thought a “comfort cone” (or “cone of shame,” if you’re a pessimist) might help him break his current cycle of destructiveness and find some other, more productive, things to do with his time.
