Boomer! Ella! Watch Carefully!

I've gotta teach our dogs, Boomer and Ella to do this! Meet Bandit, and Australian cattle dog who's owner, Josh Ace has taught him to fetch his beer! When ordered, Bandit runs to the fridge, opens the door, and grabs a beer before returning to Josh. The dog only fetches a beer when Josh says: "I'm parched."

The Joys Of Being Doped Up By The Dentist!

I just love this video! This woman just came out of anesthesia after getting her wisdom teeth pulled, and she's crying because she doesn't look like Nicki Minaj! I'm not sure why she thought she was going to look like her to begin with, but whatever. Even funnier, she's upset because she wants to be friends with Ellen Degeneres! I love the line, "Ellen Degeneres...she's so generous."

Never Mess With Bees!

OK, at first I didn't want to laugh at this video because I have a fear of bees. It's true! For some people it's spiders, or snakes or Smurfs, but I have an irrational fear of bees. But I couldn't help but laugh at this guy, especially since his wife, who was shooting the video, was laughing at him just as much! He was trying knock down a wasp's nest with a long stuck, not a very bright idea to begin with. And the wasp reacted like wasps usually do, he got totally ticked at the guy and flew up the back of his shirt! Take a look at the video:




The best part was the guy trying to swat him with the stick like some ball player! I never like to see anyone get hurt, of course. But it's hilarious how a little bee can turn a grown man into a screaming little girl!

Dress 'Em Up For Halloween...And We don't Mean The Kids!

Americans spend $350 million every year on dressing their pets up for Halloween, according to the National Retail Federation. Whether it’s a cocker spaniel dressed as Batman or a cat in a tuxedo, everybody can't help but have a few laughs -- at the poor pet's expense. Some of the big sellers this year, says Costumesupercenter.com, is the Minion Pet Costume from Despicable Me 2 along with such tried-and-true favorites like Captain America, Darth Vader and Wonder Woman. Of course, there's nothing like forcing Fido to wear a hot dog or taco outfit either. Here's the NRF's top ten pet costumes for 2014:

1. Pumpkin. 2. Hot Dog. 3. Devil. 4. Bumble Bee. 5. Cat. 6. Batman Character. 7. Superman. 8. Witch. 9. (T) Ghost. 9. (T) Pirate. 10. Star Wars Character.

So do you dress your pet up for Halloween? If you do we'd love to see a pic of your pooch or cat!
