This holiday season spend time with a beloved professional bird chasing dog!

My dog loved chasing birds. As a senior dog, when we went for a walk around the block, she lurched toward every slow-moving pigeon. In her younger days, when we made it over to Crissy Field, Cleo's favorite game wasn't playing fetch but racing across the grass chasing low flying birds! If a dog could laugh from the excitement mine did. She never caught one but I don't think she wanted to, it was the thrill of the chase that she loved. You could almost say she was a professional bird chaser, like a certain Mr. Lunch.

Go baby! Go! Crawling dogs vs. adorable crawling baby!

Having my own Shepherd-Husky dog, this viral video of crawling Huskies had me chuckling (or are they Malamutes?). Why? Because I've seen how good she is at crawling like a baby, towards a treat two inches from her snout. Silly puppy.

Not only do the dogs in this video play the perfect wingmen for this little baby learning to crawl, but if they're "racing" doesn't it look like they WANT the baby to win?

Where did Max go? He knows it's bath time...

Hiding from bath time is what dogs do best. They'll crawl under the bed, hide behind the couch, slink underneath a shrub, if it means getting out of a nice, warm, sudsy bath to wash away the stink and grime of the dog park.

Our dog would turn into a mule, forcing us to try and drag her 90-lb. butt across the floor to the bath tub. Out of the blue, all of her favorite dog treats were poison to her.

If Dogs Represented World Cup National Teams

Dogs representing their home country in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. How do you think they'd compare to the Puppy Bowl with viewers? If like so many Americans professional soccer (or football) isn't your passion, would this get you to watch the World Cup?
