Wow, photographer Carli Davidson has done it again! Back in August, Kira wrote about her “Shake” series, photographs capturing pets mid-shake. Now, she has another amazing series, this time of pets with disabilities, including blind chihuahua Diego and his guide pug Buddy Nixon, seen above.

Have you heard of Dr. Pepper Ten? It’s DP’s newest soda geared towards men and it has pretty much one of the most blatantly sexist (and stupid) ad campaigns I’ve ever seen.

And now, there’s 10 pugs who give a face to these voices, thanks to the folks at BuzzFeed. See some more of my favorites after the jump.

Ah, fall is finally almost upon us. Time has come to stock up on canned pumpkin puree, huff cinnamon pine cones in public, and not wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of the air conditioner kicking on. I love including our bulldog Emma in seasonal changes, so I was glad to see this particular product from Blue Buffalo at PetSmart the other day. Not only do the Halloween-esque Boo Bars have cute packaging, but they’re so freaking healthy. The main ingredients are Oatmeal, Whole Ground Barley, Ground Whole Oats, Pumpkin and Cinnamon (no corn, wheat or soy!) which is great for our allergy-prone pup. Oh, and the smell: cinnamon! It smells like fall! I swear, I would have taken a nibble of one if Emma hadn’t already been drooling on my foot. Ahem. She loves them, I love them, and they don’t make her break out in hives like most treats.  It’s a win-win-win.
