If all it takes is making my dog cry, I’m okay with that.
I put the Sunny “Saddest Bee” greeting card on this afternoon, and a few hours later, got an email from Zazzle saying that it has been voted the by the Zazzle community. A few of them were bought, and thus I have now officially earned sweet hard cash (a smooth $4 so far) off of humiliating my dog. I believe I’m in official exploitation territory now, and you know what? I feel pretty good about it.
Hey. She needs to earn her keep somehow. She hasn’t been fighting off any rogue pit bulls or anything else useful lately; she did scare the poop out of a little girl on a walk this morning by barking at her just as her mom lifted her out of a car seat as we walked by, but really now. That little girl didn’t want to bite my face off…or did she? You never know about toddlers.
Wow.
April 8th, 2008 at 11:17 pmYou are an evil person! I hope she got A LOT of bacon for that.
April 8th, 2008 at 11:23 pmFour bucks will be a couple of Beggin’ Strips.
Maybe you could get a few
April 8th, 2008 at 11:51 pmSunny is chipping in - earning her keep.
Good dog!
I see a “the honest kitchen” ad for dogfood in your sidebar, and I know that feeding dogs is an on and off topic. It’s good stuff. It’s my backup for when I don’t homecook.
April 9th, 2008 at 12:12 amI can haz pork now??
April 9th, 2008 at 1:08 amLove the card. I’ll be buying a few. You will be making another card with Sunny in the Santa hat with the gold balls around her chest for Christmas cards right?
April 9th, 2008 at 6:14 amOh geez…that poor dog. I mean, LOOK at that expression on her face!
April 9th, 2008 at 6:33 amHow about the saddest bee coffee cup? I’d buy that in an instant!
April 9th, 2008 at 7:22 amI’m sorry. That is too funny. And it looks like she’s wearing my son’s first Halloween costume.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:45 amI just can’t stop laughing. It’s like it’s the first time seeing that picture. I actually have tears in my eyes. Yes, I’m at work, so I better calm down.
April 9th, 2008 at 8:18 amI get paid Friday, and I am totally planning to buy one of those greeting cards myself. And after I do our taxes, I’m setting up my own Zazzle store. What can I say, you’re the inspiration.
If I start dressing Rowdi up so I can make money off of her, I will totally give you full credit for any money I make. (It’s going to happen, I can feel myself losing my shame as I type.) I actually can’t wait, because I have lots of clothing in waiting.
Thanks for the idea, you’re awesome.
April 9th, 2008 at 8:23 amClearly this should win Sunny .
April 9th, 2008 at 9:36 amWell, it’s about dang time!
*off to buy a Rachel card*
[Edit…okay, officially purchased. But you know what? Zazzle sucks. I mean hard. It should not take more than 5 minutes to purchase a dang card. And I should be able to use paypal in this day and age. WTH? I’m officially annoyed but their lame ass checkout process. But I’m looking forward to my card!]
April 9th, 2008 at 9:56 amPlease make that into a coffee cup.
That or the elephant costume roaring one.
Would buy either of them in a heat beat.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:08 amNow that Sunny is becoming a cash cow, Rachel, will you start that weekly weigh-in we talked about? The longer she lives, the longer you can dress her up in humiliating fashions, and the longer you can milk her for all the Zazzle revenue she’s worth.
But if she remains a fat cow, she won’t be a cash cow much longer at all…
April 9th, 2008 at 12:20 pmThis should also be under your category WTF?
It reminds me of that Blind Melon video for No Rain. If Shannon Hoon were still around and saw that picture, Sunny would probably be invited to tour.
It’s not sane, it’s not sane…
Wow, I just noticed this. Is she a “Ballchinian”?
April 9th, 2008 at 12:26 pmThat would explain a lot.
My God. We can now buy Rachl Lukis postage stamps?
When the time comes to send care packages to Rupert in Iraq, I’ll be using these stamps exclusively.
P.S. Congratulations, Rachel. You made an atheist say “My God”.
P.P.S. If I remember Revelation correctly, one of the signs of the Apocalypse is the appearance on the Internet of photographs of a Rhodesian Ridgeback dressed in a bee costume. So you’re also helping to bring about the end of the world. If that also means the end of American Idol, I’m OK with it.
April 9th, 2008 at 12:42 pmGood job - strike a blow for capitalism. Lately I’ve been telling our dog that she needs to go out and work for hew kibble. We discussed various possible lines of work, but she wasn’t keen on any of them: bomb-sniffing dog (she claims it is dangerous), drug-detecting dog (she’s afraid of becoming an addict), and sled dog (claims she’s too small). I think ritual humiliation on greeting cards may be right up her alley.
April 9th, 2008 at 3:16 pmsweet mother of jesus thats the same look my grandmother gave us when we put her in the nursing home.
April 9th, 2008 at 4:24 pmNo, Pat Berry, I am sure that the time of tribulation will mean AI 8 days a week. Maybe 30 hours a day.
