Let’s hope this arctic blast blows over so Stella the Lab can still enjoy the last days of jumping into the fall leaves. And don’t miss her belly flop at the end! (Refinery29)

#Dogs Rule…Literally!
In case you missed Last Week Tonight, the irreverent new HBO series hosted by ex-Daily Show reporter, John Oliver, then you might want to check out the adorable breaking news story that he’s done with dogs taking over The Supreme Court (starts around the 1:35 mark). (Business Insider)
Sam Simon: A #Dogs BFF
Sam Simon, one of the original writers of The Simpsons, is dying — but he’s not going down without fighting to save as many animals as he can! Check out this touching profile by mutual dog lover/friend, Merrill Markoe, in this month’s issue of Vanity Fair.
Lassie Prepares For A Comeback #dogs
Lassie, one of the original top dogs of Hollywood, is getting ready to make a comeback — courtesy of Dreamworks. Will this old canine legend be able to compete with such new school Internet pet celebs like Grumpy Cat or Boo the World’s Cutest Dog?
Only time — and the number of Instagram followers — will tell! (pic courtesy of Lassie)
And the World Dog Award Goes to…?
Move over, Oscars — er, Oscar (if that’s your dog’s name) — because the CW Network is going to air the first ever World Dog Awards!
And unlike “The World’s Ugliest Dog Contest” — all the world’s dogs are apparently eligible to win the gold in this competition (possibly to draw more viewers, ya think?) — although no word yet on the official categories. (Hollywood Reporter)

The Subaru Has Gone to the #Dogs
The Subaru may no longer be the official car for U.S. Ski Team anymore — but I think they’ve found some even better spokesmodels! (LifeBuzz)
Taxi Dog Episode!
Back in the 70’s, before Cheers and Friends, there was a classic TV sitcom called Taxi, starring Judd Hirsch, Danny DeVito, Andy Kaufman, Tony Danza, and Marilu Henner.
Anyway, I came across this old dog-friendly clip on Youtube titled “Alex’s Old Buddy” — which is about Alex (Judd Hirsch) enjoying his last few days with his beloved mutt. The episode is funny, smart, and emotional –– and it was also written by champion dog lover/Simpsons creator, Sam Simon. Produced over 30 years ago, the dog humor and themes discussed are timeless!
Frasier’s Dad Has A New Dog…Play?
John Mahoney, the veteran TV actor who played Kelsey Grammer’s father in Frasier — which also co-starred Eddie, the charming Jack Russell terrier — is now starring in new play outside Chicago called Chapatti, which is about a dog person who develops a relationship with a lonely cat lady in Dublin, Ireland.

Super Bowl Puppy Love Commercial!
Cats had a pretty good year last year on the Internet, but if you really wanna go viral — you bring out the puppies, as Budweiser did with their upcoming Super Bowl commercial, “Puppy Love”. Even Spuds MacKenzie might get a little misty-eyed after watching this spot! (BI)
Btw, I actually think the original dog-free commercial that Bud broadcast during last year’s Super Bowl (“Brotherhood”) was even better — which you can also see below — but then again, I’m a big Fleetwood Mac fan!
Doberhuahua!
Audi is mixing it up with the dogs this year with their Super Bowl commercial — starring a new super hybrid mutt: the Doberhuahua!
Veterans Day Tribute!
Who says dogs don’t love veterinarians Veterans? If only everyone appreciated our Vets like their dogs do!
Volkswagen: The Official Car For Dogs
I’d love to see what these dogs could do to an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile…
