VIDEO: Best Music Video Ever

Just WOW. I have always been a HUGE fan of OKGO's music videos (and their music, just don't tell me cool hipster friends) but THIS VIDEO TAKES THE DOG BISCUIT. I can't get enough of this! Watch, re-watch, share and comment!

DOGSPOTTING: Marma-dog

Excuse me! Big awesome dog coming though! Move out of the way or he will jump on you and lick your face! Spotted in near Sunset Junction, a classic amber coat and a friendly face. I think this is a Great Dane, but I am still trying to learn all the big dog breeds. I love the idea of security dogs with a softer side, and I think that is what this guy has going on. I am (obviously) more of a companion dog fan, but as usual, I would not mind going to the dog park and a frisbee throw with this dude. I am just not sure he would fit in my car (so I hope he likes long walks) (who doesn't!)

DOGSPOTTING: Twin Shih Tzu

You are not dreaming. This is a real picture. A real picture of real dogs. Two, real, cute, Shih Tzu, best friend, CANINE LIFE MATES. I have tried to think of something more awesome than this picture and I just can't right now. And get this: Their names? OZZIE AND GIZMO. GET OUT OF TOWN WITH THAT ABSURDITY. Just the thought of a little white Shih Tzu pal named Gizmo is enough to make a grown man cry. Make it a double dog by throwing in a grey rag-a-muffin fella' named OZZIE?!? I think I am about to have a stroke. Help me.

DOGSPOTTING: HIPPIE DOG

This guy! What a fun-loving-champer-gamper! Just moseying around looking for some snacks, belly rubs, and maybe a face to lick. I have recently gotten into sheepdogs. They seem really lovable and sometimes a little dopey in stature, despite their innate tendency to herd and control the situation. He looks too fun to push around some sheep! Party dog! This flopsy fellow looks like a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, I think. If only I could find a non-shedding breed mixed with a sheepdog!! I would probably faint from the excitement of such a dream come true.

DOGSPOTTING: NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD

I have NO IDEA what kind of dog this could be, but it is one of the most awesome sights I have had the pleasure to behold. Driving on the 10-W (well, riding, I have a driver/boyfriend) I spotted this fella' on his way to the beach, smiling, curls in the air, with not a care in the world! He is actually smiling! And quite a big guy I might add. I screamed, squealed, and frantically grabbed my camera out of my purse. I barely managed to get these two shots. This image seriously changed my day/weekend/life for the better. I think we all wish we were that dog, or at the very least, wish we could could be his driver.

DOGSPOTTING: A MASTIFF-PIECE

Wrinkle dooogggggg!!! Spotted waiting for his owner outside of Urth Caffe in Santa Monica, this Mastiff (English? Neapolitan?) was such a find! This is the kind of dog you could settle down with in a 1 bedroom house near the beach, and spend your days walking, living the good life. Just you, and your gigantic, faithful dog. He would probably protect you from an intruder just by sitting on them and not letting them up til the cops arrive. I wonder if the owner lets him sleep in the bed with him? Would you have to get a custom made doggie bed? Is his doggie door half the size of the human door? How much food does he eat each day? Where is his favorite dog park? So many big dog big questions!

DOGSPOTTING: ADOPT HIM!

How freaking cute is this guy!?!? Spotted at a rescue adoption tent in Santa Monica, getting pet left and right. 1) I love love love doxies 2) I SUPER LOVE dogs/cats in bandanas 3) Pet adoption is the way to go!!! This is just a great look for this guy, I have no doubt he is already in his forever home. Who could say no to those floppy ears, that little nose, and don't even get me started on those eyes! Again, I love dogs with red coats. Like all dachshunds, this little fella' has that honest, endearing, adopt me kind of face. If this dog asked to borrow $100, I would totally do it. And I NEVER loan anyone money.

DOGSPOTTING: Long lost twins!

Don't let your eyes deceive you, this isn't a special one English bulldog double-picture spread, it is actually TWO DIFFERENT long lost twin bullies! Mere feet from each other! I saw one, turned around on the spot I was standing, and the other guy was right there! And they had never met! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? What an incredible double dog spotting! Exclamation Marks! I couldn't make up something so crazy! I encouraged the owners of these two to exchange numbers in hopes that they would set up a bulldog (b)romance. The didn't go for it.

DOGSPOTTING: Purse Pup

Life must be awesome for people with dogs small enough to carry around in a purse. I know you can take any medium sized dog around on a leash, but a dog you can sneak into places? That is some serious next level living. Not only that, this dog is freaking adorable! I am almost crying here. Sweet little thing. If this was my dog, I don't think I would ever stop kissing it's soft little head. I don't understand how people could dislike little dogs completely, or hate on toting them around in bags. Is this an especially small Yorkie? Or just a young itty bitty baby? I can't tell. Maybe it isn't a Yorkie. He looks too small and soft to be a Yorkie. Unreal. Maybe it isn't real at all...

DOGSPOTTING: Arthur the Doxie-Extraordinaire

I would like to introduce you all to Arthur, a serious little sweetheart Long-Haired Dachshund. You will be hard pressed to find a more delightful doxie (puppies excluded, doxie pups are unreal). Arthur was 1) ready and set for a belly rub 2) lived up to the hype with a seriously soft coat. I love that amber-reddish-brown color that many doxies have. It's so warm and comforting, like a cinnamon roll, BUT IT IS ALSO A DOG (x2 win). Oh man, and that face! Dachshunds don't have to speak English, that face just screams "Love me! Please! I am so sweet and cute! and will be your best friend ever! woof!" Dachshund is still my favorite dog breed, but if by some miracle I become a dog owner, I will probably get a non-shedding breed. WEEENNIEEEEE!!!!

DOGSPOTTING: Buggy

There is just something so intriguing about French Bulldogs. For the longest time I thought they were sort of weird looking, and noisy, but in the past few months they have made the crossover to being totally adorable. Maybe it's a so ugly it's cute thing, or like how exotic women are automatically more attractive than traditional looking women. Either way, the little fella' above captured my heart. Such a sweet, genuine, squishy face. Aaah! I am just melting looking at the picture! Actually, I met another Frenchie this weekend (forgot my camera! ugghh) named Peggie who was just ready to cuddle up next to me. They're winning me over, one snort at a time. I am still on team fluffy guys, but I would not mind being friends with this dog.

DOGSPOTTING: Up Close and Poodle

POODLE! I love poodles! Poodle mixes tend to be some of the cutest little fellas. I've heard that 100% poodles don't play well with others (pups and kids) and are high maintenance, but dang, they sure make a cute pup. Take this guy for example, he has a good stance, and an adorable "nice-to-meet-ya" face. He isn't super clean and groomed like you would expect from a poodle (he is probably a toy poodle), but I kind of like that. He is like "Eff your status quo! I am a fancy dog but I love to party!" And there ain't nothing wrong with a dog that likes to party....

DOGSPOTTING: One of the best double dogs I have ever seen

I can't possibly be the only one who yells "DOUBLE DOG!" every time they see a dog duo walking down the street, right? I mean, you see solo dogs on walks all the time, big deal. But two BFF pets on a stroll! Brother & sister pups! Betrothed lovers! Canine companions just warm my heart. The two above are a great example of two dogs that you can just tell enjoy a life together. And they are a great pair! One a little smaller, friendlier eyes, and the other the tough guy, ears back. I like imagining these dogs hangingout at home while their owners are at work; having lunch, watching tv, playing with toys. That is the life! The only thing better than a dog is two dogs. Don't even get me started on triple dogs...

DOGSPOTTING: ROLL OVER, BI-TOVEN!

The find of a life time! Two HUGE St. Bernard's just livin' it up on their porch. I saw these two guys on my way to Silverlake Jubilee for an all-day DOGSPOTTING mission. On my way in they were up and wandering around their yard, but I couldn't get them in the same shot. I spent most of the day talking about how incredible they were and came up with the name "Bi-toven" to describe the phenomenon (not that I am likely to stumble across two more colossal canines such as these). As luck would have it, I caught them at nap-time on my way out. As a 100 lb. girl, I really wish I could have gotten a picture in between these two, but a fence and the fact that it would be even weirder than taking pictures of dogs, stopped me that day.

DOGSPOTTING: Epic Collie!

This is one of those beautiful dogs that makes you proud to be an American. Standing tall, fur in the wind. She could be a dog model. I often use the phrase "Beautiful Fucking Dog" or BFD to refer to dogs that I would put in a calendar with that name (don't steal my idea!). They might not be my favorite breeds, but I recognize prime examples of epic dogs when I see them. This fancy lady is Miss September. I will be posting more BFDs is the future.
