Number Six? Puggle in the Six Slot? Unbelievable.

I stumbled upon this random blog by some person who is totally kicking it blogger old school. You know, back in the day, blogs were just crazy personal journals where people would share Whatever with Whoever without a real consistent theme or anything, etc. That is so totally the case with this one.

Anyway, it featured a list of the top ten types of dogs. Puggles came in at #6. SIXTH, you gotta be kidding. Maybe like #1? That might be a little more reasonable, don't you think?

Hey, how could rank a puggle, the cutest of all of God's creations, behind the brandy-toting, slobbering St. Bernard? Be real.

To the listmaker's credit, he/she does note that the blog's about opinion, not fact. The opinion re: the Awesomeness of Puggles, however is wrong.

#1, people. Puggles are CLEARLY #1!

Oscar the Puggle

Wanna see a picture of a puggle? How about a picture of Oscar the Puggle?

This blogger's friends ordered the seventeen-inch super-pup and fell in love with him.

You will undoubtedly see why immediately after clicking the link provided above and visiting the photo of this mega-cute puggle pup.

The entry mentioned that they expected Oscar to be a little shorter. Personally, I think seventeen inches is probably around the puggle size average, but it might be leaning a little bit to the big side of the spectrum for a pup of this one's age. In any case, he is fabulously cute!

Considering funeral flowers...

We usually think of flowers as pleasant, beautiful diversions from the daily grind. There is, however, a degree of stress involved in nature's beauties, too. Selecting the right flowers for a special occasion can be really trying. It's never more difficult than when you need to choose funeral flowers.

You only have a single chance to say goodbye and to express your condolences, and that makes picking the right arrangement very important and, sometimes, stressful. Dot Flowers can make it easier. They make an extra effort, providing great arrangements and making sure everything gets where it needs to go on schedule. Dot Flowers takes some of the difficulty out of a tough decision.

Some thoughts about everybody's favorite precious metal, gold...

Gold has been a valuable commodity for as long as anyone can remember. It's been used as a currency, to back state-issued currencies and as a standalone investment. Gold remains a favored investment among those looking to diversify their portfolios with a solid performer that retains value regardless of surrounding political and economic circumstances.

The Monex Deposit Company, MDC, has over 30 years of experience in helping gold investors. They can provide an opportunity for investors to purchase gold. MDC can arrange for personal delivery of the precious metal or storage in an appropriately secure repository. Those considering gold as part of their investment strategy should consider what MDC has to offer.

Angel Ashes -- Lasting Tributes to Loved Pets

None of us like to think about the passing of our pets, but if such a thing should occur, we should be prepared. I think most of us would like to have a genuine, lasting tribute to our beloved pets. Places like Angel's Ashes, which specializes in pet urns, can help create that special memorial. Angel's Ashes offers an amazing array of pet memorials. After looking at their product selection, I was immediately convinced that Angel's Ashes is a quality operation, not an exploiter of grief. If you need a pet urn or some other memorial, I would recommend beginning the search at Angel's Ashes.

The idea of researching pet urns and memorials may not seem very uplifting, but a bit of consideration and preparedness will make things easier if the time for such action should come.
