Although almost every day at Six Apart is Take Your Dog to Work Day, Friday was extra special because it was the official Take Your Dog to Work Day! Plus, as lovers of blogs and animals, we think it's great that active blogger and Human Society's President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, thinks having dogs around the office is a good reminder of "who we're working for."
We realize some people have it ruff and aren't lucky enough to be able to bring their dog to work, but hopefully these pictures taken at Six Apart last Friday will get your tails wagging... And let me tell you, it's harder than it looks to get all the doggies and their fetching owners in one picture.
I just purchased luminarias to honor Naomi and remember Betsy at the Relay for Life in Alameda tomorrow. As much as I don't like the idea of crusading, I'm starting to feel like it's time for Lung Cancer to get the research funds it needs. I see nonsmokers developing it increasingly (people I know!), and the lack of buzz is quite literally killing me.
Anyway, I didn't ask for donations when I last posted this link, and I suppose I should've. If anyone would like to donate a few pennies to find a cure for cancer, please do so here. It's my homepage for the Relay, and I think the page is only available until Sunday, when the Relay ends. It starts tomorrow around 9:00 AM PST. Either way, I'm walking the Survivor Lap, and remembering all those fighting for their lives, and those who've lost the battle.
Thanks to those who've taken up the cause.
I know, three posts in one day! How lucky are you??
So we all know about the Futon Fiasco. Well there is still bits of futon lying around, although we try to sweep it all together. Fred likes to lie on it during the day.
He also likes to eat it. I don't know why. But we always find bits of fluff in their poo. Here is Freddie caught in the act of eating futon fluff. LOL
Although his chewing with the futon fluff hanging out of his mouth is VERY cute.
So not to be outdone, Fred insisted on getting his photo taken this morning as well. Insist, as in, looked so cute I couldn't NOT take pictures..
Following on from the previous post, here are some more of the puppies in their natural habitat
In case you weren't aware the doggies now have a brand new house that their daddy made for them about a month or so ago.
Here is Rosie showing off her new house:
And later...
Meanwhile here is the sight I saw the other day. The dogs only sleep inside during the night. In the daytime they prefer to be out in the sunshine
In the second last pic you can see his little bitty teeth. SO cute!
Here is:
"I-can't-believe-my-eyes-Rosie"
This is followed by:
"Up-Close-&-Personal-Rosie"
And then there's just:
"Side-Profile-Rosie"
And last but not least:
"Sleeping-In-The-Bushes-Rosie"
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, today is the summer solstice. For ancient civilizations, this day was akin to our modern day New Year's Eve and was viewed as a time to reflect and renew. So why not kick off your summer celebration with a new theme?
See all of our themes in the Design Area.
Or choose from one of these brand-new themes. (Available under "New.")
Share a scene from a movie that uses music perfectly.
Submitted by nohablo.The music in The English Patient was truly another character in the film. I can't imagine the film without it. There are many exceptional segments, among them the beginning of the film, the part where Juliet Binoche swings on the rope in the church, all the parts with the Goldberg Variations....
More recently, It's All Gone Pete Tong is another choice, although that's a music-themed movie anyway, so I don't think that counts. As with Quadrophenia.
Elizabethtown isn't a great movie, but the music makes me want to see it over and over again. It's mostly in the end, when Orlando Bloom drives back to Oregon, listening to the cds Kirsten Dunst has made for the roadtrip.
I guess one of my all-time favorites, though, is Harold and Maude:
Edit: After reading this post, I've noticed a theme, although I didn't plan it that way. Either way, I like the notion of new beginnings, and the idea that possessions, in the end, possess you, and are potent symbols of a way of life that you may be ready to leave behind. Maybe the '70's were just a really destructive era?
A couple of months ago, we told you about Blog It powered by TypePad, the first cross-platform blogging application for Facebook the enables you to post to your Vox blog - and ALL your blogs - with a single click.
Within a week, Blog It had nearly 4,000 active users posting tweets and creating blog posts, as well as updating their status messages with the title and link to the published post. Today, Blog It's Facebook application has nearly 10,000 users. But here's the thing: You're not always sitting in front of the computer when the inspiration to blog strikes. And at Six Apart, it is our goal to provide you the tools you need need to blog where you want, and when you want.

Built specifically for iPhone's Safari browser, Blog It for iPhone enables you to post blog entries or status updates from wherever you are to more than a dozen different online services.

You guys are the best! The part about wishing you could do something for me---You do.
