Dog days abound.

General
Hello, hello, Colleagues and Nemeses.
I truly hope you are having a wonderful day and it continues well on past the horizon’s stretch. I wanna apologize for giving a long afk to everyone. Things have been pretty crazy since my job decided to switch healthcare plans. The company that was supposed to be handling the math for it dropped the ball so hard. Then the company that pimps the doctors forgot to look for the checks and were hounding my wife and I for collections. I had my bubble up pretty thick, and it was tough to just chat as much as I like to. Issues have since improved. Add to that, my job is decommissioning a lot of good tech. Its still in excellent condition, so as soon as they get placed in the gaylord boxes, I am going to pounce and sell what I can on Ebay. Seriously some of those touch screen units look awesome.
Now where was I? Oh yeah …. I’m gonna make another list. Now in the collection last year I didn’t have dogs, although I may have had a few canine reps in the othe lists. This time I am going to focus only on some of fandom’s best canines that live rent free in the pound of my noggin. Let us begin!
-Wishbone (Wishbone)- I would rush home with the quickness to watch this cute little doggy get dressed up as a storybook character and give a little taste of what the story had to offer. Can you imagine if this show continued and they added more contemporary novels. Just saying, I wanna see Wishbone as either Team Edward or Team Jacob. It would probably be the only way I could pay attention to those books. Oh, or maybe put him in different animal costumes and he could be an Animorph. That would have been so cute.
-Ma Beagle (Ducktales)- Can we please show respect for the power of this woman's ovaries. The only hobby she had in prison was banging guards and birthing babies. Well with the exception of the "6th Avenue Friendlies." (They were probably adopted) I loved that the big reveal of Ma and her boys was a homage to the Warriors movie in the DT17 series. With Ma taking the role of Lynne Thigpen's D.J. A fun nod would have been a reintroduction of the Beagle Babes. Maybe having Ma showing them the ropes.
- Bluey (Bluey)- This is new, but i absolutely adore this show. The parents are the right blend of sweet and goofy. You know they are trying their best, and you can see the subtle cues that show they are going through their own stresses. Bluey is adorable, and one of those rare times that a child is written as a child. And I don't know if its confirmed or not, but I think she is a little on the ADHD spectrum. I love this because my niece is on there as well, and she can have representation that she can look at and say "Hey, me too."
- Mr. Peabody (Peabody and Sherman)- Oh, the historic puns. He was one of my favorite parts of the Rocky&Bullwinkle show. I must be one of the few people that enjoyed the Dreamworks movie. Getting a closer look at his life after adopting Sherman, and seeing that it had its ups/downs it was really endearing and i loved the added depth.
- Nosemarie (Pound Puppies)- Hello, cartoon crush. I preferred her season 1 sass more than her season 2 mom-mode, but that said she is a really sweet character. You want a good combo of the two designs, check out the Legend of BigPaw movie. The music is enjoyable as heck.
-Mebh Óg MacTíre (Wolfwalkers)- Watch. This. Movie! It’s a wonderful take on werewolves, and the animation is sooooo enchanting. Mebh is a spitfire who is the very definition of a kind, wild child.
-Balto (Balto)- I’m the sucker that preferred the first sequel to the original, but ya gotta give respect to one of the rescue dogs that saves so many. When it first came out, I thought that statue in the movie was fake. And then I found it while wondering Central Park.
- Rosie O'Gravy (Dog City)- Love a lady that is in charge. In the actual movie, her counter part was the protag’s fri. When it went animated, she was still the fri, but now the source of inspiration for the police chief. I always wondered if they kept more of her backstory. Maybe Rosie worked VICE before promoting to chief detective. Maybe an updated Colleen Barker had an OnlyPaws as a nod to her “doing tricks on the corner” from the original movie. My mind is a terrible maze sometimes.
- Scooby Doo (Where are you)- I have gone on a huge rant about how this great dane is actually blood related to an ancient demon from the tales of Beowulf. That said, I love watching the bulk of this dog’s adventures with teen draft dodgers. I have only found 2 that does my dog dirty. The Scooby movies will even add a paranormal spin, and show that it can work in a world of costumes and insurance fraud.
- Snoopy (Peanuts)- The king of claustrophobic good doggos! This boy has so much charisma he woos Peppermint Patty, Eudora, Lucy… seriously it’s a list. He always comes out on top in the end and that is a fun silver lining that little me really enjoyed seeing. The pup has a permanent float in parades. You cant get more epic than that.
There we go. How about you? Got any canine cartoons that wont leave your cranium? Feel free to drop a few in the comments. Maybe I might learn of someone new. Just wanted to say I’m still around and just working through a lot of stupidity. I’ll try to not let the bubbles not build up so much. Have a wonderful time doing what you doing and I’ll see you around.

Colleen (Road Rovers)
Dolly and Da Vinci Dalmatian (101 Dalmatian Street)
Kira, Pepper, Nomi, Stella (Dogs in Space)
I wouldn't put Mebh here because there's enough wonderful wolves for their own separate list.
101 could be a list all their own. Especially if you combine movies and both series.
LaT2 was considered, but I didn't remember it clearly, so I might need a rewatch.
Although the next list is ships, so who knows.
I feel like she would have been socially pressured to date Montgomery Moose up until high school graduation, and then would have been the first to put him in drag.
Dotty is such a little exhibitionist in the original pilot (Seriously what was up with Nelvana in the 80s and upskirts). Once in college, she really started to open her horizons.
Why the heck was the racing trophy on the list?
