The Round-Up

Amanda Wilkie trawls the internet so you don’t have to. This week it’s cross dogs, colourful dogs and a tip of the hat to the wonderful, much-missed Rik Mayall.

The importance of punctuation.

The importance of punctuation and grammar.

Need cheering up? This photo might just help do the trick.

This dog isn’t allowed on its owner’s bed. But they set up a camera to record the dog and see what happened when he was left home alone.

A bit of an oldie, still a goodie.

 

It took far more time than it should have done for my brain to process the arm situation in this photo.

Just a dog that decided to roll on a freshly cut lawn.

Why did the chicken cross the wet cement?

@JasmineMilton_ on Twitter pretended to throw a ball for her husky dog, Anuko. Luckily for us she caught on camera the precise moment when he realised the ball throwing had just been a trick.

 

Pretty much.

If you’ve not seen the sassiest dance recital routine ever to Aretha Franklin’s Respect by six year-old Johanna Colón yet then it is really worth taking two minutes 47 seconds to do so.

 

This week marked a year since we sadly lost the brilliant Rik Mayall.

I still firmly doff my cap to whoever put up this plaque in Hammersmith shortly after his passing.
