Watch These Tiny Kittens Wrestling Huge Dogs — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:00:42 +0000

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing. And [...]

Watch These Dogs Who Really Don't Like Lemons — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:00:00 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

Watch These Dogs Dragging People Around — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:00:32 +0000

[onescreen item="5060596"] This looks like it could actually be quite a bit of fun. We recently showed you some instances of dogs getting dragged around, so it’s only fair that we show you the reverse, right? And bonus points if you can identify which of these clips is actually fake. The Daily Distraction is your Internet break [...]

Watch These Lazy Dogs Getting Dragged Across the Floor — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:00:18 +0000

[onescreen item="5059780"] Sometimes a dog just doesn’t feel like it. Feel like what, exactly? Anything. So he just lies there, on the ground, and if you want him to move, well, good luck with that. Okay, it’s not always laziness. Sometimes getting dragged can be a really great back-scratcher. And we imagine it can be [...]

Watch These Dogs With Their Heads Stuck in Bags — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:00:29 +0000

[onescreen item="5029273"] Somebody turn on the lights! For the record here, we’re not encouraging people to go around putting bags on their dogs’ heads just for fun and laughs—in most of these cases, the mischievous pooch in question stuck his head inside the dog-food bag when he shouldn’t have and learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes [...]

Watch These Cats and Dogs Who Really Hate Taking Baths — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:00:24 +0000

[onescreen item="5026379"] If you’ve ever tried to give a cat a bath—or even just bring the cat anywhere near a bathtub—then you know how these people feel. And it’s not only our feline friends who loathe the idea of getting dunked into soapy water. Rather than willingly submit to the utter torture of bath time, quite a [...]

A Collection of Dogs Reuniting With Veterans Returning From War — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:00:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5022145"] By now you’ve probably seen at least one video of a soldier or Marine returning home and seeing his dog for the first time. It’s one of the things the Internet does that really, genuinely tugs at your heartstrings. Watching how the dog can take a moment or two at first to recognize his [...]

Watch These Dogs Saying 'I Love You' — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:00:36 +0000

[onescreen item="5018575"] Sit. Shake hands. Roll over. Express your deepest emotions about me in a concisely worded phrase. It seems that dogs just keep learning to do more and more impressive stuff. We swear it was just yesterday that they were trying to carry sticks that were way too big to fit through doors, and [...]

A Dog a Big Stick [VIDEO]

Lisa Lindsey — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 14:40:57 +0000

Aw, we love our pets! This is a sweet video of a poor lab that can’t get through a gate because the stick he has is just way to big.Poor pup! He wants to go through the gate so bad but just doesn’t understand. This video is called “Dumb as a Stick” but I think [...]

Video of the Rarely Seen Scottish Terrier Puppy Pinwheel — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:00:40 +0000

[onescreen item="5008413"] Never seen a Scottish terrier puppy pinwheel? It’s a mesmerizing sight. “Why don’t they stop walking, and just stand and drink?” you might ask. But that would be missing the point entirely. Once one of them starts moving as he drinks, the other five must then do the same. And round and round they [...]

Dog Person or Cat Person? [POLL]

Jeff Easterling — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:18:10 +0000

I was once told there are Elvis people, and there are Beatle people… you can like both, but you know that you like one more than the other… same with Cats and Dogs. So, just curious of the listening audience and would like to do a quick poll…

Watch These Dogs Carrying Really Big Sticks — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:00:46 +0000

[onescreen item="5006657"] Dogs have loved sticks since the beginning of time. That’s just a scientific fact. And the bigger the stick, the better. Sometimes, though, a dog will find big stick (SWEET!), pick it up and bring it back, but run into a problem: the doorway is too narrow. This problem has baffled canines for [...]

The Feast of Lennox – A Loving Dog's Last Meal [VIDEO]

Jeff Easterling — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:20:18 +0000

Here is a sad but sweet story that hits close to home for me. It’s about a dog named Lennox that lived like a boss, and his last meal was fit for such a great dog. We saw it passed around on Facebook, but the post originated on Reddit, by Nikolaoss the roomate of Lennox’s [...]

Watch This Bird Feed Noodles to a Dog — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 09:00:41 +0000

[onescreen item="5004653"] With all the trouble human beings have working together these days to get anything done—have you watched the news lately?—it’s nice to see two different species getting along so well to achieve a simple goal. What we have here is, quite simply, a bird feeding noodles to a dog. There’s really not much [...]

See the Oscar Nominated Movies With Adorable Dog Actors

Christine Gritmon — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:39:54 +0000

The Oscars just won’t be the same this year without Uggie the Dog in attendance, but fear not! We refuse to live in a world where there isn't at least one dog at the Oscars, and we also refuse to do anything in moderation. Naturally we must present these posters for seven Oscar-nominated films if they’d featured all-canine casts. Take that, reality. We wonder which one will *fetch* the most awards this year (hahahahaha sorry).

Loyal Dog Attends Mass Every Day At Church Where Owner's Funeral Was Held

Jeff Easterling — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:05:55 +0000

This is a great story for anyone that has ever experienced the unconditional love and devotion of a dog. This dog is so loyal to his owner, that he has continued to go to mass at the church where her funeral was held months ago. Read the details. Ciccio, a 12-year-old German Shepherd, was adopted as [...]

Watch This Dog Dance The Salsa! [VIDEO]

Lisa Lindsey — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:30:22 +0000

I love pet tricks! My husband John found this one and I thought this was so funny! This puppy can Salsa! I think Ricky Martin would be impressed!

Cats and Dogs Being Best Buds — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:00:03 +0000

[onescreen item="4988579"] Historic enemies, cats and dogs have, in the YouTube era, been caught in the act … of friendship. While no doubt these 42 seconds represent the less frequent side of their relationship, it’s rather heartwarming to see these two species, fiercely antagonistic in our collective imagination, getting along so well. The Daily Distraction is [...]

14 Adorable Dogs Dressed Like Reindeer

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:51:54 +0000

Aww man! We’ve been sucked in again. It’s another edition of animals in costumes, but we swear it’s way worth your time. Why? Well, because there are few things more adorable than dressing up our dogs and cats in holiday garb and showing them off on the Web. We’re positive they love it! (Maybe.) After [...]
