Oh pardon me, I meant that the other way around. If you’re in the mood for some Friday adorableness, you’ll probably want to take two, sit back, and zone out on some surprisingly zen yet so-cute-you-might-barf sibling rivalry. [Fark]

Since I wrote a cat post already today, I thought it only fair to give our dog people equal attention. So in your honor, dog people, and because it’s Friday, here’s a video I shot this week of some cute puppies in my neighborhood. For the record, I do not condone pet stores that sell expensive, purebred dogs and support puppy mills across the country — I’m a shelter girl all the way — but come on, if there was a window two blocks from your apartment that adorable pups like these frolicked in several hours every day, wouldn’t you find any excuse to pass by?

I will never understand how my dog sleeps about 20 hours a day and yet he still yawns! Isn’t he well-rested from all the naps he takes? While I’m jealous of the Zs he gets, I’m glad his sleep-filled days don’t completely rid him of the need to yawn. It’s one of the cutest things a dog can do.

Ruppy, short for Ruby Puppy, is the world’s first transgenic dog. She produces a florescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light. [Seoul, April 2009]

Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman are the kind of chicks I would like to be best friends with. And this proves why—the answer to the current economic crisis? Puppies of course!
