If you’re havin’ canine problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems, but a dog ain’t one…
My dog is so gangsta, he wears his pants real low when he’s cruising in an Escalade.
Even though he does bad things sometimes – like eat the steak off the counter that’s defrosting for dinner…
…he apologizes afterwards.

When I haven’t fed him on time, he sings Julio Iglesias.
He hates baths and wonders why he can’t just put on some more Drakkar Noir.

When he sees the papparazzi coming, he pretends not to notice, then sucks his stomach in.

He often wonders why the French Poodle never called him back. I have to remind him not to take it personally.
My dog has such a big ego, he opened his own Twitter account. His last post read: “The next Bichon Frise with a Napoleon complex who tries to hump me will become an hors d’oeuvre.”
He has a sensitive side most people don’t see.
He’s my B.F.F.

I always laugh when I think of your dog’s cologne being Drakkar Noir. He’s got such sweet eyes.

He reminds me of my dog Chief. She’s white with spots around her eyes. We’re Califonia girls otherwise I’d suggest a blind date.

Vito totally rocks! I love that he sucks his tummy in for the paps. My dog (Pamplemousse, ridiculous Neapolitan Mastiff) always leans against the wall when she’s being weighed at the vets, she doesn’t like anyone to know her true weight, she is a lady after all. At least Vito apologises for misdemeanors, Pamplemousee flatly refuses to say sorry for anything, she thinks guilt is a ‘negative emotion’ and she apparantly doesn’t ‘do’ negativity, leaving me to apologise in the wake of her destruction….. I love her though, she makes me laugh, even when no one else can see the funny side. Great pictures.

That Vito is a dreamboat (so says Roxy) – and I concur!

Oh! and to tell him I think he’s “hawt”! 😉

Vito is so NOT gangsta, despite knowing how to dress like one. He’s more like Tony Soprano’s nephew Christopher. Big heart, big dreamer, and surrenders immediately to those who offer love, so long as you don’t threaten Mama. Am I right? (Kudos to you in general, but also to Mindy. She really knows when to push the button.)

I stumbled on your blog from CMSmith’s post and I’m so very glad I did! You are very witty and your dog looks like that one from Marley & Me!
Do keep in touch!

Well, thank you. But, isn’t the Marley & Me dog a Golden Retriever? I haven’t seen it.

Maybe Vito wants to be a cowboy? Send him to Montana…believe he’d love rolling in cow pies and munching deer pellets. Good boy, Vito!

Hi. Found you because you “liked” one of my posts recently. Glad I followed your link. You are hilarious! Looking forward to seeing more. PS: I’ve got problems too, but one of them ain’t my 15-pound cairn terrier Ella (code names: FEARLESS FEROCIOUS, BABY GIRL, and BUNNY CHASER)…
