Spotted at Corner Antiques and Collectibles in Forest Grove, Oregon. This is a ceramic type figure of a real dog known as Zelda who had a line of books and figurines and probably other tchotchkes as well. This one is item number 4783 from Westland Giftware. Zelda must have passed by now, certainly the web site has, because it redirects to some sketchy football (soccer) site now. This figure was released in 2002 and is not quite as creepy (or sad looking) in real life as it is in these photos.

Red Bull unleashes (get it??!!) a tired cliche in this recent TV commercial. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

Lego Friends set 41304 (Puppy Treats and Tricks)  features a cute little dog on a skateboard and a miniramp with a transition that makes me wonder if it’s not in fact supposed to be a Jersey barrier. The Lego Friends line was originally aimed to appeal to young girls. I’m sure they did a lot of market research, but for some reason these sets feature an entirely different type of minifig, one that more closely resembles actual people, or dolls as some suggest. Does this mean Lego believes little girls have a lower capacity for imagination?

Who knows how long this mural has been up? I just noticed it, and it’s in my own damned neighborhood. I am a hermit. The best part of this is the crazed looking squirrel that someone decided was in need of a little nut sack. You can view the entirety of this yet unreleased Asia album cover after the jump.

No, you haven’t seen the last skateboarding dog post yet. This dog, who might be named Dash, does old school kickflips (well, after a fashion, but it’s still a kind of a kickflip without the ollie) and some sort of reverse Bertlemann slide. He’s an innovator, just like Tony Hawk. – Thanks to Greg Baller for the tip.

Remember those heady days of the skateboarding dog craze? In case you’re feeling nostalgic, here’s a dog named Jumpy in an aptly tilted video called “Bad ass dog 2.” This dog rides a mean skateboard and swims underwater, does to pawed slalom, rides a scooter, and jumps of course. Don’t let your dog see this, it will make your pets feel inadequate. [Source: Stuff I Stole from the Internet]

One thing you’ll notice about Buddy The Skate Dog is that he’s house trained. So house trained in fact, that he’s not leaving the box, because he costs about $50. After this little photo shoot he went back to the kennel.

The Radical Dads sing Skateboard Bulldog. If the lead dad had offspring, they would call her “mom.”

Sort of the first skateboarding dog from a film made in 1930, courtesy of the king of skate film historians, Scott Starrr. in other animal skateboard news, Tilman showed up at Tony Hawk’s Standu p for Skateparks benefit.

Grover used to love trying to fluster little kids at skateparks by asking them if they knew who Tony Mohawk was, or just shouting it out at random moments like an exclamation point. My friend Boneman lives in Colorado now, but when he saw this Tony Mohawk dog toy he immediately thought of me and yes you, the readers of Skate and Annoy.
