As promised: a big, exciting surprise!

It's too good to just read, so please do yourself a favour and put a smile on your face by watching the latest No Ordinary Vlog:


Again, as I responsible blogger who presents both sides of puppy ownership, the excrement count is up to three throw-ups, one poop and two pees. The best part? All were outdoors!! WIN!

P.S. All three of my wieners are napping so I have the chance to really tell you all how overjoyed I am right now :) So overjoyed that I don't mind posting a video that showcases me covered in puppy feces and sweat from the gross humidity we're rocking right now.

Tipp said...

YEA!!! I was hoping you would chose Theo!! HE is so cute. Loves it!!! I love that you are such doggie people! I feel the need to send Calvin a big brother gift.

Congratulations Dads!

Elizabeth said...

OMG--the cuteness is nearly unbearable. International play date? Lucky Calvin!

Christie said...

I'm glad you chose Theo too!! You're giving me some *bad* ideas!

JB said...

That is awesome, Ben! Those two babies are very lucky to have awesome owners like you!

Mel said...

omg omg omg omg. Um, I want another one. Now. :)

LindzML said...

Aaaah I want one. Or, fifteen. You know, however many will fit in my car comfortably so that I can leave them at different places in order to have a puppy with me wherever I want to go.

Rachel said...

PUPPIES!!!!!!!

*talks baby talk to the screen for 15 minutes*

Essentially Me said...

That has to be the cutest video I've seen in a long time!

Congrats on the new puppy!

ÄsK AliCë said...

Awwwwwwww congrats ;>

Ben said...

Jamie: TOO excited for puppies? No such thing!

Tipp: Yeah, we're happy with the name too. Except for the subconscious affects of Alvin & The Chipmunks. Calvin? Theodore? Where's our Simon knock-off?

Elizabeth: Play dates all round!! I can't even handle going to the breeder. It makes my heart weep with puppy happiness.

Christie: Hahaha I'm a bad influence all-round.

JB: Thanks :) That's very sweet of you to say and I fully intend to be the best pooch papa around.

Leigh: Theo is the absolute sweetest little guy around! You're going to die. DIE. In a good way, of course.

Mel: I am VERY lucky :)

Lindz: That's the thing, my house could fit a good couple dozen of them. AND I WANT THEM ALL.

Rachel: My life's work is perfecting the puppy talk. My vocal range is Mariah Carey impressive.

Essentially: Thanks and I'm glad you liked it! Expect many more haha

Alice: Yay for a puppy family!

Arielle said...

Oh my gosh, puppy OVERLOAD! I want all 50 of those little guys.

The Ex said...

Your video is broken! :( I want to see puppies.

L.C.T. said...

I can't see the video :( But it sounds exciting!

Ben said...

Arielle: ME TOO!

TheEx: Vimeo seems to be suffering from massive trauma. It should still be there but I'm keeping an eye out to see if I'll have to upload it again.

LCT: SUPER exciting. Hopefully it'll be back up soon.

Texelar said...

Theo?????

Texelar said...

Three puppies?????

Texelar said...

The video finally worked just after your Mom went out the door. Oh - so only two puppies - and on my account - yeah like that was your only motivation;-) Oh - and nice touch with the bluesy Bonnie Raitt track - we will ask her opinion of your use of her song when we see her in Truro in a couple of weeks. I don't know why we had to pay for a University Degree - it must have been just to verify and hone all of your innate instincts:-) Don't you two ever talk to your parents about big decisions anymore!?! Love all four of ya!

Erin said...

Yay for a new pup! Theo is now the second internet pup I know named after my husband. Good name choice.

paul said...

I have to agree that the vlog was the way to go. Congratulations, Ben! Best of luck with the new guy.

Phil said...

Holy crap, a new puppy!!! Cuteness abounds, and I'm wildly envious.

EP said...

He's adorable, Ben! How exciting for y'all!

How's it going?

The Dutchess of Kickball said...

OMG that is uberexciting. He is adorable. And how on earth did you make a decision with all those puppies? Too many choices. I would have wanted all of them.

caitlynintherye said...

Oh my god! A new weiner! Can you please get them those Halloween costumes that put buns on their sides and a strip of ketchup down their backs?
Also, I kindo of preferred the name Susan Sarandon. Theo is pretty perfect too.

Ben said...

Dad: I am glad we cleared up the rumours. No, I would not be so silly as to buy two puppies at once. And no, I will not discuss buying puppies with you until I have one in hand for you to fall in love with :) End of story. See you tonight!

Erin: We can't shake the Chipmunks reference that we overlooked in naming him (Calvin, Theodore...it's close enough) but we love it. It fits.

Paul: I thought so :) Puppies are cuter in images than descriptions.

Phil: I'm out of puppy control!

EP: Great so far! Completely different from the first time around. More Lucy stories please!

Dutchess: It really just feels right when you're there. This guy buried his head right into the newf's armpit, but his stubby tail was wagging like a madman even still. Instinct :)

Caitlyn: OH there will be costumes! Costumes for everyone!

Amanda said...

I'm super late on this, but YAY for more puppies! I hope he and Calvin are great friends by now :)

audrey said...

He is just too damn cute for his own good! I hope Theo and Calvin become bestest friends.

Hillary said...

Oh the cuteness. It is too much to handle.
When I watched the first bit I was rooting for Theo and then when you announced his name I may have wahoo-ed a little bit.

Ben said...

Amanda: Never too late for puppy adoration!

Audrey: They're getting there already but there are still plenty of cranky moments...

Hillary: That seems to be the general feeling. Especially considering how weak the other name choices were. Except for Susan Sarandon of course.

Auburn Kat said...

HOW ADORABLE!!! I absolutely loved that video! Congrats!!

roro said...

Holy fucking shit! I'm off my blog rounds for 5 days and you go and get ANOTHER impossibly, painfully, barfingly cute canine?? I can't handle it, Ben! I can't! You are killing me softly with your dachsunds.

Ben said...

Auburn: It's one of my fav videos too. Well, of the junky ones that I've made.

Roro: So sorry not to have given you pre-warning! I tend to spring the puppies on everyone...

mcgee said...

gaaah i'm with roro. i'm away from google reader for a couple weeks and you go and get the cutest puppy ever in the world. CONGRATULATIONS on your newest addition!!!

Ben said...

Mcgee: I am very sneaky :)
