Julie said...

My cat Ivan used to have that exact toy! Lol

lisagh said...

Octopus Day can be traced back to the 18th century when villagers used to samba in the streets during the mid-April full moon in celebration to welcome the octopus back from their spring spawning.

What a glorious time it was. So glad to see you and Nunu upholding the tradition!

Penny said...

Not such a happy day for the octopus!

We celebrate Octopus Day but with a green one. We also celebrate the much misunderstood "Bark at the next door Dobermans even though they could eat you in one bite until they go crazy Day."

Eugen Caitaz said...

You have a very good dog!

Catherine said...

It seems as if you dog likes to eat everything. ;)
Btw. Heard that you will be in Munich next week. Hope you enjoy your stay in Germany!

Unknown said...

Again... LMAO!!

Nikoli said...

What Penny said. I don't think that Octopus is happy.

Tammy said...

We celebrate the Invisible Fence Being off and the Garbage Can Full Day.

It's quite the party, confetti everywhere, plastic shredded, and packages torn. We don't ofer food, just the guests of honor get the food-they clean the food quite well, its the party goodies that bother me.
BTW-I HATE this Holiday almost as much as The Toilet Lid Is Open, Happy Hour!

Hi,
Greetings from Brazil and congrats for your blog and artistic work!

ValMo said...

Hmm...This looks suspiciously like "Happy Easter" with a different "creature". I wouldn't believe a word she says. ;-)
Happy Octopus Day to you, too!

Heather Cherry said...

The Nuners sounds a bit like a weedeater.

aims said...

Okey, I'm sensing someone doesn't like octopuses.. or bunnies.
From now on Octopus Day will definitely be a tradition here in Sweden!
(love your blog by the way, it's the funniest ever!)

Cat said...

Seriously awesome. I wish my dog would play with different toys. Nope. Just the same toy for her. Makes a similar noise, but bigger, because she is a bigger dog. HAHA. I am lame.

Please Type Legibly said...

And a very Happy Octopus Day to you, Beth, and Nunu.....Sushi all around!

There are times in that video when your dog looks a bit like a tiny, furry Cthulhu. A tiny, furry, cute Cthulhu.

iaintnopeterpan said...

Must be a Kailua dog thing, my dog is doing the same thing with her "JubJub" neopet toy as I type this.

Lynn Faruque said...

She's way more active than my doxie! I love it.

Much as I love the show, I start getting bummed about now, because I know that the final episode for the season is soon.

I love how Hurley asks the questions and IS the audience. He will ask something and we at home will be thinking "Yeah, what ABOUT that?!"

Besos~~~~

Mother of the Wild Boys said...

I love how his tail is wagging the whole time, he's having a blast!

Heather (a.k.a. Bella) said...

Oh, Nunu -- you have many issues to work out. Poor you.

She's so adorable, with those giant ears and that body that's so small it's almost invisible.

mabochda said...

be glad it wasn't a box of crackers! my daughter left a box of crackers on the floor by her bed. the dog thought he had a prize :) needless to say we had a tug of war with the box. i won but had to get out the vacuum cleaner

Kate said...

The funniest thing is to listen to this video but not watch it. The audio cracks my sh*t up!

~Karen~ said...

Is there a parade for Octopus Day?!

Fabio Hofnik said...

Jorge, i'm Fabio from Brazil, we are organizing the 2nd edition of our Lost Big Event here called Dharma Day that was attended by more that 100 Lost fans (you can see the pictures from the 1st edition here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/dharmaday/?page=6) and we really wanted to know if you can make to us a little 'hello brazil' video that we can show it at the 2nd edition that takes place in a couple of months. Just 'hello brazilian Lost fans, Jorge Garcia here saying hi!" simple and adorable!

Thank you, waiting you words.

Dogs will do anything for attention. hahaha

Christina Bauer said...

Gosh, your dog will attack anything! Well, Happy Octopus Day, Jorge!

Kathi said...

Oh man, I'm so jealous again. Your dog's totally got your back if an octopus decides to comes pay you a visit! When an octopus comes creeping in my house, my dog offers him a drink and a nice fluffy pillow.

Amanda @ Serenity Now said...

Happy Octopus Day to you, too. I know my dog would enjoy that holiday, but maybe more if it were squirrel day. You have a really cute dog! :)

makarrao said...

wow, you really don't know about octopus until you eat "Octopus a feria" in Galicia, Spain.
If you come and visit us, don't doubt about eat it!

New Leaf said...

Hallo,

I enjoy your work in Lost. I'm sure you hear that at least a hundred times a day; is it getting old yet?

You have a cool blog... thanks for sharing the love and humor.

Upon further reflection, I'm probably only talking to the other few hundred people who comment here aren't I. *laugh*

Oh, and Happy Octopus day. What's next? Mollusk Of The Year? O.o

Cinnamon said...

SOoooo cute! And your chihuahua makes grunty-noises just like mine does! Mr. Big has a "moo-moo", though. Moo-moo is a pink cow.
