Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

IT'S RUFFDAY!
12. giggles said:

13. Lori said:
It almost doesn't look like him! It's the expressive ears, that's what is missing.
14. annelise said:
run forest, run...

Chuckles! Running after his breakfast?
16. happysign21 said:

Go Dog Go! Ruff!

I keep hearing the theme to Benji in my head - Chuck looks footloose and fancy free...
23. Mary said:
Chuck! Fridays! Ruff!
24. Denise said:
That's Chuck's impersonation of a kangaroo, isn't it?

26. Circus Kelli said:
Good morning Chuckles!
27. Fish said:
Chick! imean Chuck!
He's running so fast he outran the color! With those black eyes he kinda looks like horror-movie ghost dog Chuck.
28. Patty said:
Wow! Chuck was in the newspaper?
29. Candice said:
This is a question comeing from a digital photography novice, so forgive me, but did you shoot that photograph in black and white (via a setting on your camera), or did you alter it later on your computer? Just curious.
The B&W is very cool!
30. The other Paula said:
I just so totally want to hug that dog right now.
P.S..Im hating my job right now. If it wasnt for Dooce.com, and Leta and Chuck pictures, I wouldnt have smiled once today.
31. Scotty G said:
I am thinking that is a kangaroo and not Chuck. Maybe it's even a wallaby?
Dooce Down Under! Crikey...
32. Butternut said:
What you don't see in this picture is the PIZZA in Heather's left hand.
33. Chris said:
It has that cinema verite look, or perhaps as if he is escaping from the scene of a crime and was captured on the video surveillance cameras.
Not your usual Dooce Chuck photo. Cool.
34. Em said:
Where are all the dogs going? Why are they all going up there on that tree?
35. Mrs.Strizzay said:
That totally looked like a motorcycle muffler in the thumbnail.
36. Michelle Brady said:
He looks thoroughly evil in that photo! I like it!
37. Brian from LI said:
hahahaa, and a pop-tart in the right
38. liz said:
let me guess, this right after the altercation with the other dog from a few days ago? and Chuckles is running for his life?
39. Library Girl said:
Go Dog Go! Work It Chuckles :)
40. Anita said:
I love his tail in full wag!!
41. Torrie said:
GO DOG, GO!!!
42. Southern Fried Girl said:
I just love this picture. One of my all time Dooce favorites. Chuck is almost as cute as my doggie. :)
43. lulu cornichon said:
TGIChuckday!
This looks like one of those edgy French photographs that's all existential and about alienation and stuff.
It's Chuck! Of FRANCE!!!!
44. Chris said:
RUFF!!
45. Colleen from NJ said:
Chuck... the James Dean of the dog population.
Such a rebel.
46. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
I'm so smitten with that bony dog. . .I'm changing my name to Chucky Four-Eyes!
47. Melanie S said:
I heard Chariots of Fire when I saw that picture.
I love Chuck!
48. Dr. Johnny Fever said:
Kind of looks like his left front paw is flipping me off.
SAY IT TO MY FACE, CHUCK!
49. becky said:
is there a setting for this on the camera, or is it photoshop-based?
50. Andrea said:
I love dog smiles!
51. RazDreams said:
dooce, you really should change the title to "Go Dog, Go!" shhh, we won't tell anyone.
52. Brian said:
Forget about the hatemail for parental negligence. Can you imagine the hatemail from animal rights activists for feeding your dog cereal, especially if there was milk involved!?
53. August95 said:
An animal picture without yellow glowing eyes...How'd you do that.
54. Shiz said:
CHUCKLES is GORGEOUS!
Love the photo. He must be running for a Pop Tart.
55. Girl.A said:
That looks like a post-deuce celebration to me. Go, Chuck!
56. Badger said:
Maybe it's just me, but Chuck looks a little hungover in this picture. I was going to make a "hair of the dog" joke there, but I decided against it.
57. BJT said:
Awesome. What's he running to?
58. Courtney said:
I thought this would be a picture of plumbing!
59. Chanelbaby said:
Good morning to the incomparble Dooce. I love the black and white. Do more of these! You are (obviously) a good photographer so I'm curious to see what you do in the b&w format.
60. meilaan said:
He needs little Ronnie Howard in dungarees with the cuffs rolled up and a homemade soapbox racecar.
Or Pop-Tarts.
61. Nicole said:
Forget the caffeine it's happy hour in Europe.
That’s the kind of photo you look at 15 years from now and bawl your eyes out.
62. Jenie said:
I would love this pic if Chuck didn't look so scary....
63. sarcastic journalist said:
kujo?
64. matt said:
i thought for sure it was an elephant picture from the thumbnail.
confession: as i couldn't sleep last night i was thinking about how it was friday, and how i was hoping it would be 'chuck-friday'. ain't right.
65. sak said:
where's the cat?
66. kim said:
now that is an awesome picture. i love b/w pix. and dogs..
67. Eleni said:
Love how he looks so evil!! And you can also say he's giving you the middle finger on his front left paw... too cute!
68. bb said:
How do you TAKE pics like that? All my in motion pics are a blur.
69. KellyH said:
Are you calling him in your Southern twang (I have one too!) or is he running towards Emily?
70. shannon c said:
I love it. He looks like a little kangaroo!
Chuck is one of my favorite cyber dogs I know!
71. Laurie said:
I actually didn't recognize that as being Chuckles until I read some comments. The dog in the photo just looks mean like "back off that treat is mine beeotch. Rar!"
72. lexagirl said:
Chuck needs his own theme song.
73. U.B. said:
Ditto Kim.
B/W gives pictures such a different feel. I took some of my kids this last summer staying at a lodge that looked *just like* the Overlook, or whatever it was in The Shining.
Some came out okay, but most were of them looking embarrassed because their retarded dad kept saying "Heeeere's Johnny!!" before every pic...
74. Tracy said:
Who's the tan little dog
That's a love machine on Dooce's blog?
CHUCK!
Ya damn right...
Who's the dog who'd risk his neck
For his Leta (or a snack)?
CHUCK!
Can you dig it?
Who's the dog who won't cop out
When there's bigger dogs about?
CHUCK!
Right on -
They say this dog Chuck is one bad mutha -
Shut yo' mouth!
Just talking 'bout Chuck.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!
He's a complicated pooch
And no one understands him but his Dooce...
CONGRESSMAN CHUCK!
75. Geremy F said:
See Chuck.
See Chuck run.
Run, Chuck, Run!
76. Girl From Ipanema said:
It's the PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!! :)
77. beachgal said:
Oh my, I love Chuck. This is so cool. And your talent again just amazes me. I can't get unblurry pics of my 14 month old, and you get your dog at a full run. Amazing, I tell ya.
Much love, and TGICF!!
78. Mir said:
I totally heard strains of "Jaws" when I looked at this picture. In a good way.
79. shelli said:
I thought I saw Chuck on the streets of Manhattan the other day, and I seriously almost yelled out "HEATHER B ARMSTRONG, AND THIS IS MY WEBSITE!" But then I realized, I'd just blend into the Manhattan skyline, and that you are in Utah..... But it was Chuck's twin, I SWEAR!

Tracy, you crack right up! C'mon, that treasure of lyric goodness was in the works before this photo was even posted, right? Right?! If not, you = witmeister chuck mac daddy.

Me. You crack ME right up. My bad!
82. Girl.A said:
Right on Tracy.
I like me some SHAFT too.

Every morning should start off with a dosage of Chuck!

90. Gordon said:
Chuck: Bacon! Bacon! It smells like Bacon! Theres a bag! I can't read! Please Please gimmie whats in the bag!
91. LadyBug said:
Hm. Earlier this morning I thought maybe Chuck was running from (or to...who knows?) Big Mean Bearded Dog from Wednesday's photo. But after reading today's post, I'm thinking maybe Chuck's running to rescue poor Leta from The Moving, Toy-Grabbing Baby. Sic 'em, Chuck!
92. Kimi said:
Must give warning on pictures with spam quotes. I spit my coffee AND had it come out of my nose. Ouch.
Love Mr. Chuckles, love, love, love him.
93. patricia said:
Bonus! I'd forgotten about all Chuck Fridays!
94. tater said:
Any ideer why i can't see your pictures in ie or firefox? Is it me????

Chuck! I love your little doggy ass!
96. Julie said:
This reminds me of the beginning of that show "The Bionic Woman".
Area ANY of his feet touching the ground in this picture?
97. blu said:
yay..chuck!
98. the niffer said:
Tracy, you rock. You've just replaced the Chariots of Fire that Melanie S planted in my head.
Both songs, together with this photo, have filled me with a sense of invincibility on this very cold Friday afternoon.
I love Chuck Fridays.
99. Dazed & Confuzed said:
Yay, Julie! Max, the Bionic Dog. *Sudden images of Jaime Sommers throwing a Sleepnumber bed at her captors*

Ain't no party like a Chuck dog party 'cause a Chuck dog party don't stop!
Oh, and my dogs wanted me to tell the former Senator Chucklesworth "woof!"
105. Toren said:
Is it me, or is Chuck flipping us off. LOOK AT THAT ONE TOE!
Go Chuck, GO!
106. Amber said:
It captures all the essence of what is 'dog'.
107. Nicole said:
Is that Chuck? Because it looks like he's got a ridge. *Fuck* how I want a Ridgeback.
108. Mari said:
Loved your latest entry. I'm thinking the "baby Einstein" is, in fact, Leta. With a high-pitched shriek she gets what she wants and she doesn't have to waste any energy moving around to do it!
109. Ms. Belle said:
Walking is for suckers...
110. Lisa said:
Leta moves alright: she moves around in her crib mysteriously at night, and she moves mountains with that scream. Go, Leta, Go! Go, dog, go!
I love them both!
111. Mrs.Strizzay said:
My son didn't talk until he was almost 2. He pointed and grunted and he always got what he wanted, so why bother!
112. Charles said:
sorry this has nothing to do with anything but i thought you should see how messed up some people are

113. tiffany said:
This photo looks like a scan from a newspaper article. Neat effect.
If I let my dog run off the leash with that kind of abandon, something would scare him and he'd flip out and run into the street or try to climb a tree or something. AHHH! A leaf! Oh no, a terrifying crack in the sidewalk!! Holy shit, my shadow is trying to eat meeee!
It must be so awesome having a normal dog.
114. andrea said:
Wow Charles, holy shit. I only looked for a minute and I'm absolutely horrified. Where is this taking place??? More importantly, where do these people live so that I can go skin them alive and set them on fire?? Wow.
115. LadyBug said:
Charles: That link made me nauseous. Seriously.
tiffany: You may not have a "normal" dog, but Mouse is very, um...special. And talented! And almost literate! (He's also very cute.)
116. romy said:
are all four of his paws off the ground at the same time? fast-leopard chuck.
117. nothanks said:
I love chuck
118. jess said:
Ehh....I prefer pictures of Leta. Chuck's a dog, and though puppies are cute, he still looks the same as any yellow lab I've seen. You kind of have to meet a dog like Chuck in person to really fall in love. I prefer golden retrievers. But Heather, by God I love your baby and husband, and you're writing is genius!
119. girl in sf said:
chuck brings me out of lurk mode.
i woke up in a good mood today, which is rare for a workday. i thought, surely it can't just be 'cause it's friday. but now i know. it's not just friday, it's Chuck Friday!! RUFF!
120. Wicked H said:
Ruff!!!!
Thanks God It's Chuck Friday!!!!!
121. U.B. said:
Tiffany -- normal dogs are for wimps (and, if you read past posts, Chuck is *not* a normal dog).
Dare to be dorky!
122. B. Mare said:
Oh Chuck! If only you could be mine....!
123. andrea said:
Okay, not to harp on the kitten thing but that can't possibly be real, can it? It looks like it might be a joke, but damn. I want to know for sure.
124. Gooooder said:
he looks like a wild man
125. michelle said:
what a great picture!
I love your site!
126. Mary in Sacramento said:
Chuck Friday!! Ruff, mofos!
That's an Atomic Dog if I ever saw one.
I, too wonder how Heather takes motion pictures so well. I think that it has to do with her Nikon D70 taking a picture every time you press the button, rather than having a delay like most digital cameras.
I'm trying to figure the same thing out myself with my "camera that does not cost $1200 so therefore I cannot take Dooceworthy photos" christmas present.
Someday. Someday.
127. moose said:
*Chuck runs from the Silent Scream of Death, the scream so high and silent in pitch that only souls in Hell and dogs can hear its demon din*

this is such a feel-good photo. so glad i came across your site. it's so entertaining & a work of art...
130. blackbird said:
I am going shopping with my goddaughter this weekend. Like you care. Anyway, my point is: we are going shopping for clothes for her birthday. She is 14 and perfect.
She was born, and in her baby-hood it was discovered that she was unable to crawl. She was also unable to move from lying down to sitting. She had no therapy. One day she walked.
And we are going shopping tomorrow.
You are doing all the right things. I am trying hard not to be a stranger who give stupid advice or makes dumb comments. I am trying to be a stranger who encourages and applauds you.
131. Jenny said:
Nothing says "Happy Friday" like a picture of Chuck!
Heather, I recently took the D70 plunge (and couldn't be happier), but ever since iPhoto has run NOTICEIBLY slower on my PowerBook. I know I’m importing way more pictures, and some in RAW format, but did you notice a big difference or have to purchase more memory for your iBook?
After typing all that out, I realize now I probably should have just emailed you. Oh well. Damage is done. CLICK.
132. Cori said:
C'mon Chuck, c'mon! Good boy! Here's your poptart.
133. Paddy said:
Speaking of altering the space time continuum it looks like that dog just tore through it.
134. andrea said:
Okay, I feel a little stupid for falling for that bonsai kittie thing, but at least I wasn't alone.
Stupid joke sites! Die!
135. honestyrain said:
i bet i could beat chuck in a foot race.
136. moose said:
could not.
137. giggles said:
Andrea: You weren't alone in thinking that the bonsai kitten site was real. I read it in horror - and did wonder why there weren't any 'finish product' photos but thought maybe they coudldn't post them for some reason. Thank god it's not real. I really like Chuck - but I really like cats. But shh...don't tell Chuck. He runs so fast he could run here and get me for saying that! :-)
138. Nancy said:
More Leta Pictures!!!!! Or...Chuck AND LETA :)

Yay. something good today.
140. Benny said:
great b&w! =) looks like hes coming right at you!
141. shannon c. said:
Bonsai kitten is not real and the paw that looks like it has a toe giving us all the bird is actually the crack in the sidewalk lining up perfectly with Chuck's perfect little dog paw...
a paw that smells like fritos (if he's anything like my dog)
142. shannon c said:
or not...just went back to photo, chuck IS flipping us all the bird. ;)

148. andrea said:
I crack up every time someone mentions frito feet, because I really thought we were the only ones who sniffed their dogs paws and drew that conclusion!
149. Renee said:
B&W pics are most excellent. Looks like a happy pup.
150. Toren said:
SEE?!!! Shannon C agrees w/ me!
151. DeAnn said:
Chuck, who usually looks so soft and cuddly to me, looks actually a little mean in black and white. Use that photo to scare people (and cats) away.
152. moose said:

163. Kupferkopf said:
Waiting to watch your favorite show on TiVo, because it's your partner's favorite show too and you want to watch it with them - that's love.
But not as much love as letting your loved one pre-empt recording of one of your favorite programs in favor of the Golden Globes because of her sick obsession with awards shows. That gesture earns said husband #1 licky anytime (except during the awards show).
164. Meggan said:
Ooh, black and white. This looks like it should be in a newspaper or something.
165. victoria said:
"#1 licky" ??
Comments are getting to be all about the sex slang.
(That WAS sex slang, wasn't it?)

Great post...but my most favourite part was the "FIX IT FIX IT".

Love hearing about your bagel shop/ trek madness. It sounds so much nicer (funnier) than mine.

Any chance we could see an example of the Silent Scream of Death? I'd really like to see what Leta looks like when she's altering the space time continuum.
171. susan said:
Heather, I am continually amazed at how you take an experience that I would relate in about 6 sentences and womehow turn it into an 11 paragraph comic scene. And I mean that in the very best way.

And I am also continually amazed at how I am somehow unable to comment without a typo. You all will figure it out I'm sure.

I got that response when I said your dog gets lipstick when I clean his paws.
186. mrs. george #2 said:
wow, dooce and amanda... there were actually MEN at your college? gay or no, I'm still jealous. anything's better than panty-less sorostitutes (excepting carol, of course, who is the exception to EVERY RULE). Aint no shame, gals... gay men need humping, too.

it's 'jamieapple' by the way...

"onna dose"- im still not sure what this means....
194. Danielle said:
maybe onna dose is a proposition like "hey, you onna dose-do with me?"
(onna = wanna = want to)
it is probably something boring like 'on those'
maybe harry was a bit drunky
