As puppies and kittens haven’t mastered self-control and require a lot more sleep than adult animals, they’re usually the ones face-planting in their mash. Aren’t they so cute?

“This is super typical. Riff Ratt really likes licking the inside of Osiris’ mouth,” says their mom.  “I’m sure you all are wondering if we’re afraid Osiris will eat Riff – NOPE! Osiris has helped foster and care for dozens of animals and he is the gentlest dog I’ve ever met. See for yourself!”

WARNING:  Those with a limited sense of humor are being duly cautioned to proceed no further.

Over the last week, thousands of people have been tricked into liking and sharing a photo of a dog with ham on his face, believing their online support would equal life-saving prayers.  Had they taken half a second to look a little more closely, they’d have noticed that the dog just had ham on his face, which he likely scarfed down right after the photo was taken.

You can hardly go a day scrolling through your Facebook newsfeed without seeing one of those photos meant to break your heart, captioned with something like, “1 like = 1 prayer.  1 share = 10 prayers.  Ignore if you don’t care.”

These posts are ridiculous, because sharing a photo of a poor child with cancer isn’t going to cure her, and not sharing the photo doesn’t mean that you don’t pity her or wish her well.  It just means you refuse to be sucked into sharing this clickbait crap.

On December 23^rd, Stephen Roseman reposted a photo of a dog he had found on Facebook with ham flung on his face.  Before the abuse comments come flying in – no, it isn’t nice to fling ham on an animal’s face, but it’s hardly abuse, and this dog will not require years of therapy or invasive medical procedures to recover from the ordeal.  Many dogs are trained to do far more embarrassing things for the sake of a treat.

At any rate, Roseman added the caption:

This poor dog was badly burned and disfigured trying to save his family from a house fire
One like = one prayer
One share = ten prayers

Thousands of oblivious but kind-hearted people were duped into sharing the photo.  (These are the kinds of people that American Southerners say “Bless your heart!” to.) Once these stodgy folks realized what was actually on the dog’s face, many of them had some horrible things to say.

But Roseman is shrugging off all the nasty comments, content with the fact that he’s getting such a laugh out of all this.

“So far, fifty two thousand prayers for ham dog, God bless him,” he posted.

Thankfully most people seem to understand that it’s just a joke.  One of his smartass friends has even created a fundraiser page.  They deserve every penny they get before it gets yanked

It’s that time of year. Are you trying to get a year-end family photo to send out to friends and relatives of your sweet furbabies?

Yeah, me too.

And we all have delusions of an amazing photo like the one you saw in the calendar that’s hanging on the wall, or the professional greeting card at the store.

So you dress up your best bud, get a cute back drop, and maybe even spring for a professional photographer. You are expecting this:

Basically, you end up like this:

Diwali is celebrated with bonfires, candles, fairy lights, diyas (traditional earthen lamps), and rangolis (traditional floor art).  Friends and families gather together, sharing their joy, food, and gifts with one another.

The first day, Kaag Tihar (Kwah Pujā), is dedicated to corvids – crows and ravens.  Their cawing represents grief and sadness.  Sweets are left on rooftops for them to fend off this despair.  On the third day, Gai Tihar, cows are venerated with garlands and the best grass, because they signify wealth and prosperity.  Houses are cleaned and adorned with marigolds and chrysanthemums.  There are other celebrations on the fourth and fifth days for oxen and for sisters to thank their brothers for the protection they provide.

But the second day, Kukur Tihar (Khichā Pujā) is set aside for dogs, who are believed to be messengers of the Lord Yamaraj, the god of death. Yamaraj is said to have two dogs – Shyam and Sadal – who guard the entrance to hell. There is a very special relationship between people and dogs, as they were one of the first domesticated animals, so they are decorated with garlands and tika (marks on the forehead), which makes each of them sacred and empowers them to bless all those they encounter on this day.  They are treated to heaps of scrumptious food.  Pets and street dogs alike are blessed and pampered throughout the day.
