SUNDAY FUNNIES: WEEKEND PUPDATE: FEBRUARY 2025

 AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE

WITH YOUR HOST KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!

I’m Koda Canine and your not.

What? You folks knew that with this monthly routine I’d be riffing that classic line sooner or later and with Saturday Night Live celebrating its 50th anniversary tonight on NBC...

Anyway, our top story: 

Police say the suspect arrested in the theft of 8 fog machines was an extreme-mist.

A new study reveals ten out of five people have trouble with fractions.

This just in!

Park security cameras show Frosty the Snowman being robbed at gun point!

And now, a word from our sponsor, the Canine Chef.

And only use the good stuff!

Now, back to what passes for the news.

Oceanographers report that the swordfish has no predators to worry about in the wild.

Except for the pen fish, which is said to be even mightier.

Weather experts have announced the final precipitation figures from the last winter storm.

Depending upon the clouds, tonight the Moon will be visible from the Earth.

The last time that happened was… last night.

Despite its high costs, living remains quite popular.

It sure beats the alternative!

And finally: 

Scientists report that some alligators can grow up to 15 feet.

But most only have 4. 

On that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.

For Weekend Pupdate, I’m Koda Canine.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: BARKING AROUND

Barking away

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
After co-hosting with Waxy Dragon for the last two weeks, we had to stop and figure out who's solo turn it was today.
It turned out to be mine but truthfully, I thought it was Waxy's and didn't have anything prepared until our esteemed especially steamed Editor-In-Chief called wanting to know where today's episode was.
Best I can do at the moment is just share with you things I've observed living with people so, on with the show.

Children🧒🧒 really brighten up a household🏡. They never turn the lights off.

Life doesn’t come with instructions🚫.
And even if it did, how many of you would follow them anyway?

A man was going to quit all his bad habits for the New Year, but then remembered nobody likes a quitter.

Some people say that growing up in the 60s was a lot more fun than being in their 60s.
Me? If I'm in my 60s, I never realized my paws🐾 could reach the pedals!🚗

If we were not meant to have midnight snacks, why is there a light💡 in the fridge?

Have you ever wondered why everyone's looking for Waldo to begin with?
I bet Waldo either owed someone money or is on the lam for some reason.
You don’t get that good at hiding for no reason.
Then again, while others are wondering "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?", I want to know WHO she is and why I should be so concerned about where she is in first place?

Boy, I really dug up a couple of oldies with that last one, didn't I?
All links were active at the time of posting and on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: DIGGING BOOKS!

Reading is for EVERYONE!

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here.
Now, depending upon where you live, the weather of late hasn't been all that great. So what do you do while you're cooped up indoors trying to stay warm?

Me? I read a lot.
Yes, dogs read. After all, we're paper trained as puppies. What do you think we do with all that newspaper when we don't need to go to the bathroom?

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of the books I've been reading with you, with my thoughts on them afterward.

The History of Mobile Homes by Winnie Bago

My copy was used to begin with, so there was already a lot of miles on that book.

How to Tell Fortunes by Crystal Ball
I could tell I was wasting my time on this book by the end of Chapter 1!

The History of Armed Heists by Robin Banks
Not every crook wears a suit and tie, or works in politics!

The Successful Lawyers of Suffering by The Firm of Grin and Barrett
Maybe the world is getting too sue happy.

The History of Nuclear Explosives by Adam Baum
I am definitely having second thoughts about getting a microwave oven now.

Guarding the Door by Sergeant Atarms
To the author: from one professional sentry to another, don't quit your day job.

Nobel Prize Cannibals by Laurie Ate
*burp* And you thought Shakespeare was wordy!

The Bestiary of Plant Eaters by Herb Avore
Buffalo, Cows, and Deer, oh my!

"Daddy, Are We There Yet?" By Miles Away
I'm waiting for the sequel: "The Return Trip"

The Beach Bully by Harry Ayp
Sand in your shorts (or fur) is the least of your problems when he's around.

Well, there's plenty more on my bookshelves and in my e-reader to peruse, but that's all the space I have to share with you this weekend. Perhaps we'll get back to this theme another time.
Meanwhile, have a great week and please be back here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!-AtP
