Anus is a Funny Word

The internet is full of so many hilarious things, yet I feel like it always has the capacity to top itself. If you've been a reader of this blog for any amount of time, then you know that I like to use Google to find images to illustrate a point or just for shits and giggles. No one ever says anything about them other than "Where do you FIND this stuff?" and then I refuse to discuss my trade secrets (which is pretty much just using Google images, but shhhh).

You probably already knew my "secret"


Yesterday an email hit my inbox with this subject line: "Use of Dog Anal glands image" and I just knew my day was about to increase in awesomeness. This is the email:


It's funny how adding "ASAP" to a request can make it seem so bitchy, right? The post referred to in the email was from back in March, so I had to go look at it to refresh my memory. I know, it's sad that the time I wrote about dog anal glands slipped my mind, but it happens.

Once I glanced at the image I had used, I laughed at the idea that this lady apparently has the skill to pick her dog's anus out of a line up. If you click on this link and look for the white dog in the first line of results, you'll see "darling Berkeley"'s bung hole. In all honestly when I first found the picture in Google images, I picked it because it was the least graphic one in the first line of results and I even thought it was a drawing, like from a textbook or something.

My response:


I'm not normally so bitchy on email, but the tone in the initial email didn't make me feel especially cooperative. I actually assumed I wouldn't get a response and that the first email was some kind of bizarre spam, like that time I "won" the Ontario lottery, but with more dog butt.

When I woke up this morning, I had this lovely gem waiting for me in my inbox:


I'm sorry, but did this lady just admit to taking photos of her dog's anus and then DRAWING things on it? Heaven forbid that someone else should benefit from her artistic dog anus skills.



Again, with the use of ASAP.  Blame it on pregnancy, blame it on my inner raging bitch, but I decided to fuck with this lady at this point.


Please note that I say I'm taking the picture down, but it is in the last paragraph and reading comprehension is so hard for some people. Also, a 30 second google search showed me that other websites were using "her" picture (like that search link I used above), so unless  her new full time job is harassing people about her dog's butt shot, she's pretty much shit out of luck in protecting the anal integrity of darling Berkeley.

Don't worry, she responded to my fucking with her in a calm and collected manner:



I am sure that someone, somewhere is going to be THRILLED to hear your complaints about your dog's anus pictures being misused online.

After that email, she blocked me from responding so she sadly will never see my response:


Of course I took the offending image off my blog, but instead of replacing it with a different, hopefully less "darling" anus photo, I just explained why my dear readers will be forever left in the dark in their understanding of the location of dog anal glands. I'm now even more hopeful that she filed an actual complaint of "Dog Lick Baby World Misusing Dog Anus Photo" because when they look for the image, that's what they'll find instead.

I did find the perfect product for this lady who obviously spends a lot of time thinking and caring about her dog's butt.

Yes, really

Yes, that is a real product and no, I don't know why anyone would need it.

You'll have to excuse me now, I have to go send angry emails to people about this picture which clearly resembles my dog in a very un-ladylike position:

Geez, she's a GIRL. I'm so offended. 

*Not actually Peanut...I think. I don't know, I can't see enough of her anus to be sure.

  1. What kind of lawyer would even seriously take up with a lady concerned about a blog using a picture of her dogs butt that SHE POSTED ON THE INTERNET!?

    In high school my sister made a webpage (one of those geocities websites) and posted pictures of her and her friends. Some strange girl stole all of my sister's pictures and made a webpage with the pictures and all new names and captions. Basically prentended to be my sister. It was pretty creepy.

    1. I know if I was a lawyer, I'd be giggling. That's probably why I'm not a lawyer :)

    2. That same thing happened to my photos in high school! Some girl renamed me June Bug or something and there were all kinds of fake comments and friends. It was very bizarre.

      That's what I get for posting my life on the interwebs.

    3. $20 says she'll be her own "lawyer". My husband ran in to plenty of self representing morons when he was working on civil suits.

  2. Oh wow, I expect to see your case on the news any day now. I'm going to start praying now that somehow your heart is softened towards this precious dog's anus.

    1. Berkeley is the real victim here.

  3. What I absolutely have to know is how she located the photo on your blog. I have to assume she's not a regular reader since the post is so old... That leaves her doing a Google search of her own dog's anus and clicking through the links.
    Interesting...

  6. This just confirms my views on the world - that a lot of the people living in it are crazy. I seriously hope that this gets to Judge Judy's court. Her eye rolling is enough to shrivel even the most belligerent a-h.

  7. This is so hilarious!! First off, why would you take a pic of your dogs butt and post it online. Second, how much time does this lady have to search who is using her pic. Does she really think her pooch is affected by this?!

    1. I heard that Berkeley is crying himself to sleep every night over this scandal. He'll never be able to run for office now.

  9. This was so much better than anticipated. I mean, when you mentioned you were going to blog about dog anus, I knew it would be blog gold. But this? This is blog platinum.

    2. I'm jealous. This is at least Kara's second crazy hater.

  12. There's no way I would have taken down the photo simply because this person needs to learn a few lessons on common courtesy.

    I mean, if Berkley is seriously distraught over the fact that he regretted sexting to his ex-girlfriend, a simple courteous request I'm sure would suffice. I mean come on, we've all be there before - bailing our dogs out of the internet porn industry, no?

  15. DAY. MADE. I don't know what I expected when I clicked on the link to a post called "Anus is a Funny Word," but it sure as hell wasn't this. I LMAO'd through the whole thing.

    And for that, we thank you!

  18. I'm so annoyed at this lady! I think I'll take that picture and post it all over the place! What an idiot!

  19. This is priceless! What a nutjob!! She's clearly not a lawyer...otherwise she would have at least looked up basic copyright law. Haha, I would love to hear what a copyright attorney has to say to her.

  21. That's hilarious. The lady is crazy. I can't believe she actually took that to the lawyer.

  22. Just as funny the second time around, and I'm so glad your killer response didn't go to waste. Actually, this is undoubtedly a better use for it. Now I want to post about my dating website photo experience, but I never took a screenshot. What was I thinking??

    1. I think you could still tell an entertaining story about it, even without the screen shot :)

  24. Hilarious! Loved reading the back and forth between you and crazy lady.

  25. How I regret skipping over this post last night because I didn't know where your pregnant anus was going to take it...
    Thank goodness I came back to hear about your most recent copyright infringement. We're dealing with a dog's privacy here, Kara. Well, a cartoon version of his privacy. Details.

    1. I know, I shouldn't be laughing about such a serious issue. Dog privacy is a real problem in this digital age.

  28. Best story ever. I has this happen once, and I literally laughed it off. They were pissed and did the same thing with a lawyer. I never took the photo down though!

  29. Oh my goodness, you just made my morning. who really cares about her darling Berkely's anus anyway? I love that she blocked your emails, clearly she was getting that she was outclassed on this.
    I think my dog needs some of those stickers for his anus...

    ReplyDelete
  30. LOVE this! I can't believe how tightly wound some people are. Makes me want to do a post about anal glands and post a picture of Berkley's butt!

  31. Fantastic. Thank you for this.

  34. By contrast to preggo Kara, are you going to be all boring for the next three months til you get infected with the twins?

  35. I am at work and trying not to pee in my pants. I'm so glad I decided to slack off with your back-posts today.

  36. Howdy exceptional website! Does running a blog such as this take a large amount of work?
    I have no knowledge of coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off topic however I just wanted to ask.
    Thank you!
