Dogs Love Weekends

File Under: Chuck, Photos

Chuck and I had a quick photoshoot recently, wherein Jon teased him with the Nylabone and I tried diligently to capture Precious Moments. Maybe only other dog owners will understand this, but it's FUCKING HARD to get clear photographs of a dog when that dog is cranked!, and his father is holding his favorite toy mere inches out of reach.

    Chuck has such beautiful pearly whites! Don't know if you're planning to add any human babes to the pack, but speaking from experience, don't be surprised (or feel guilty) that if/when you do that you will still have taken more pictures of Chuck than of them. :)

    I love the up-the-snoot, eyes-buggin' one especially. I can almost smell his breath.

  • 7. Broch said:

    I don't know, in a few of those shots, it doens't really look like a Nylabone.

    That song fucking rules! (Hey, Dirty, how ya like me now?! I've been down with the f*bombs for, like, a month now.)

  • 12. Katie said:

    What kind of sick toy are you letting him play with?

  • 13. Rebecca said:

    Chuck's teeth looks scary in the first few, but the last one is priceless =D

  • 14. Totah DinÈ said:

    I thought you said Chuck was calming down...

    He looks like Cujo Chuck in those pics. hehe

  • 15. dooce said:

  • 17. Rob said:

    Man, now I want a dog. Unfortunately I can't afford one right now. Bummer. I guess I'll just have to keep reading about yours. Just wanted to say thanks for the site, never fails to make me laugh. And that song is very nice indeed.

  • 18. Leslie said:

    I think he is seriously the cutest dog I have ever seen!

  • 19. poop on a creepy stick said:

    chuck is the cutest!!!!

    don't you think new balances are an expensize chew toy...
    where is the rolled up newspaper...
    bad dog...

  • 20. Dave said:

    Does it seem to anyone else that in the third picture from the top Chuck is giving his reasons for his stance on the war with Iraq?

    He looks like hes giving a speech.

  • 21. flashy said:

    My thoughts about Chucks smart thinkings:
    1pic)"Throw me that fucking camera man, watch me catching it".
    2) "I said the camera!"
    3) Dave's one lol
    4) "I'm Marylin Monroe ah"
    5)"hand,stick,hand,stick..hand yum"
    7) "Im gonna pretend u didn't mean that"
    8)"shush now"

    strangest thing ever... i didn't click your "this song" link because i was already listening to a cd and was too lazy to get up and turn it off. when i finished reading, i went back to at least take a peek at what the song was. and what song was coming from my cd player at that EXACT moment? "o is the one that is real," my morning jacket. swear on my life.

    Gotta say, the storytelling arc from Ferocious Chuckô to Zonked Chuckô is excellent. Good composition, humane storytelling.

    Moreover, he mimics how I feel right now--snarly and sleepy.

  • 24. the propagandist said:

    is that a bone or a human femur you found in your psycho ex-neighbor's garbage?

  • 25. anna said:

    why don't you do some like these pics but with you as the subject and scrumptious jon elusively holding a taco bell tostada in front of your face. THAT i'd like to see.

  • 26. K said:

    I RUV puppers! PUPPERS!!!

  • 27. peggy said:

    I totally sympathize, about trying to get clear pictures when they're spazzing out.
    I hope Chuck won't take it the wrong way, but my little homo boy dog loves him.

  • 28. blissbat said:

    a.) CHUCK. gah.
    b.) Oh god. I was friends with part of that band in high school. Gak.

  • 29. jimmypage said:

    SO.

    may the dogs of war be unleashed on you, d00ce, for making this a 'dog-lover' blog. i remember the gold old days... i could be wrong, but perhaps it's the inner mormon in you. don't get me wrong, i love the way u think heather. every other person that posts here comes for a reason. and then there are those rat-bastards, that donít have a take, to yet still graze in your pasture.

    alright, so you canít give us the latest digs on giovanni ribisi or some other cut-rate actor (ok..ok, gio was good in SPR), but simply put you're in boring 'ol mormon-mind-controlled utah. {end rant}.

    perhaps you can find an asian-mormon dba (amdba). think about the possibilities. exploit him. make him a star on the d00ce walk of fame...

    not in a bad way, though. you know how to free this hypothetical amdbaís mind. or, at the very least, fuck his head up so completely, that he (maybe even a she, for a changeÖ yeah, with pictures) would give you enough content to write a hunter s thompson-style book.

    can d00ce heal those in need of a perception change? or d00ce, d00ce baby, are you the anti-christ?.

    OK.. i admit that iíll still be reading the chuck ones (my wife is simply enamored with him). and by the way, youíve seen, youíve read - we all miss the photos. lates.

  • 30. the propagandist said:

    oh - and "his father"?

    please. get pregnant. you need kids that are not entirely covered in fur.

    or if they are, do not look like chihuahuas when you shave them.

  • 31. Natasha said:

    The dog is totally cute...what kind is he?

  • 32. Amanda said:

    Chuck is Too Damn Shiny.
    Its looks like you've shellacked him!

  • 33. dirty said:

    maybe you should take a look at this website
    http://www.teammonkey.com

    bye!

  • 34. Chad's Favorite Bridesmaid said:

    Chuck kicks ass. If you make it down to the SF Bay Area again, I've got the name of a dog park he'd love. P.S. Try a higher speed film--at least 400 ASA (if that's still too slow, as he does look like a speed demon, try 800).

  • 35. Tina said:

    He's so cute, especially when he's baring his teeth and his ears are flipped up.

  • 36. rosebaby said:

    chuck is the man. the last shot is very nice, but of course cute sleeping pics are a bit easier :) he's a beautiful dog.

  • 37. K said:

    ee! nice design change! i feel like jem!

  • 38. me said:

    Chuck looked scary the first couple of pictures.

  • 39. heather said:

    photographing tigger and chieka remind me of that x files episode with the creatures who "hide in the light." fucking impossible.

  • 40. niurope said:

    i don't like dogs. this is coming from someone who had to spend close to three hours yesterday with two large golden retreviers (who were cute by the way) but by the end of my session, I smelt like "dog" and found it hard to breath!! that's just my issue. how do people deal with that "dog smell"?

  • 41. rosebaby said:

    re: smell... showers. both human and canine. really. if the dog is remotely clean you can wash your hands and be done with it. on the other hand, if the dog is a regular ol' dog, he's probably gonna smell like one. i think it bothers some more than others.

  • 42. martha said:

    mmm...my morning jacket.

    and holy crap chuck is cute. not as cute as my dog, but pretty damn near.

  • 43. Totah DinÈ said:

    I like the new digs :o)

    "Chopper Sic Balls!"

  • 45. Chakriya said:

    cute dog though i wouldn't want to piss him off. he looks like he can bite my boobs off.=)

  • 46. ALLISONIC said:

    Gorgeousness and gorgeocity.

  • 47. Michelle said:

    My Morning Jacket *and* photos of Chuck. Really, you are too generous.
