Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Ever wonder where your pup came from? All it takes is a swab from the inside of their mouth, a $60 kit, and a bit of patience (once you send it off to the lab, it still takes a few weeks to get results). What you get back is a certrificit definitively telling you once and for all the percentages of the various breeds making up you furry BFF. NOTE: There was a time when I would’ve said this is the sillyiest thing ever. That time was before I got a dog. It happens.

WHEN: Tonight, August 6th, 7:30PM
WHERE: Prospect Park Bandshell
WHAT: A celebration of the 25th anniversary of one of history’s greatest pop albums, and the extravagantly, hilariously wacky and over the top film it inspired. Vocalists will lead a singalong as the landmark film plays on Celebrate Brooklyn!¹s enormous 50-foot movie screen. “Audiences are encouraged to don something lacy, ruffled as they sing along with Prince’s cinematic triumph. There will be lyric subtitles on-screen.” How fun is that?

Plug an English phrase into Translation Party and it translates it into Japanese using google translate… then back into English (from the Japanese)… then back into Japanese (from the English)… and so on and so on and so on, until what you’re left with is something truly bizarre. So simple. So elegant. So fun. Hit on a winner? Let us know in the comments what you started with and what it ended it on.

Hey Zoomdoggle, sorry to leave you high and dry. As some of you might have noticed, yesterday was the first business day in the year and a half Zoomdoggle’s been up and running that nothing got posted. Long story short, me and the very lovely Kristina (and the very handsome Cashew) decided to take a bit of an impromptu personal day. No big deal, but sometimes it’s fun to just drop everything and run. Today things were meant to return to normal here on the Doggle, but my morning hours – the pre-work hours when Zoomdoggle is typically written – were stolen by CBS’s The Early Show. Tomorrow we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled 5-to-8 post programming. In the meantime, you’ll just have to make fun without me. Or of me. Whichever makes you happy.

This Week’s Pup: Is in need of more than just a name… and it’s kind of an emergency. She’s a 13 week old American Staffordshire Terrier with a tale to tell. She’s cute as a button, but was also sick as a, well, dog from the second she was born. I really am cute as a button. Her owners couldn’t take care of her, so the nice people at the vet hospital took her in and made her all better. Unfortunately, none of them can take her home and now they need her bed for someone else. It’s time to get her a fresh start, and a fresh name to go along with it. She’s good with kitties, plays well with people and with toys, and already knows some basic commands.Take a look at her little face then CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW WHAT SHE SHOULD BE CALLED.BONUS: If you’d like to take her home, let us know. Right now she’s in PA, but is willing to move if the situation was right.

When Jordan got his car towed, instead of whining (like someone) he started rolling. 8,800 pennies later… well, just watch. There’s more to the story though, there always is. CLICK HERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.
