Globetrotters: Conan the Praying Pooch

PetSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:00:27 -0700

Nope, this isn't Simon Says here . . . nor is it the work of a professional dog trainer. Conan the cutie Chihuahua has mastered praying all on his own – increasing attendance at this Buddhist temple in Japan by 30 percent since the pooch joined daily prayers. It only took the 2-year-old dog a few days to imitate praying – the original goal was to get the doggie to sit still during meditation. "It's not like we can make him cross his legs," one priest joked. Regardless of Conan's motivations, he looks pretty adoro posed like that and I can see why people want to come by and check out the praying pup. See a couple more piccys of him when you read more.

Largest Snake in Captivity Makes His Debut With Conan O'Brien!

Creepy crawlers blasted onto Conan last Friday - did you catch the episode? If you were loving that gigantic cockroach and feel the need to spy more reptiles and insects, check out the animals presented on this late-night show. Clearly Conan wasn't as into getting a close-up as the expert, Nigel Marven, but I loved seeing the animals (especially "Percival") - with appearances from a Goliath spider with a 10-inch leg span, a rare double-headed snake, and the largest python in captivity (365 pounds!), see the creatures . . . with only minimal blood lost in the process.

Howl-o-ween Puppies Dressed as Cats (Literally)

It's really cutting it close if you've yet to come up with a costume for your furry friend. When thinking about easy costumes for pets, I immediately thought of my go-to getup for years: cat ears. Simple enough for this Halloween grinch, but a tail . . . no, thanks.

Which brought back the memory of those cute pooches on Conan playing Puppies Dressed as Cats. If you're crafty, you can simply sew black felt bits on a existing black hoodie or to see some premade kitty costumes for the canines, read more.

Since we're not mentioning a certain animal that begins with a "C" and ends with an "at" (along with our pals over at Urlesque), peek at these equally adorable animals taking their place as impostors. Meooowoof!

Triumph Hurls Humorous Insults All Over D Pet Hotels

Admittedly, I often check my pampered pup into a pooch hotel (when he can't come along) though not quite as fancy as the deluxe room at D Pet Hotels - it has a bigger bed and flat screen than my actual apartment. Nevertheless, when I get my bill, I still wonder how many features lil North truly appreciates (play group, most definitely; blueberry facial, probably not). So I can't help cracking up at Triumph's behind-the-scenes doggie take at this Hollywood resort - Be warned, there is cursing . . . but there's also a whole lot of funny.
