Cellular Life
FOUND by Adam Mangels in Parker, Colorado
I bought a used cell phone on eBay. As an unexpected bonus, it was still loaded with photos--a low-res slice of life from the previous owner. Popular themes include puppy love and 'fro wigs.

I don't care how trendy it is, I will not try the dog-tini.

Ruh-roh. I thought my martini tasted funny. *hic*

Aw Jan, just try a sip! But I'd stay away from the beagles-n-cream cheese.

Oh! A buster collar! Poor doggie.

Ruh-roh indeed. I obviously need another cuppa. At first bleary glance I saw a cone-shaped bowl on a coffee table, filled with what looked like a) a folded wooly cardigan or b) a folded Boa Constrictor.

Sleep-deprivation does wierd things to all kinds of perceptions.

That collar is too big! He wouldn't even be able to get his little snout into his water bowl. Poor fellow.

Monkey in denial
@Effie; it doesn't need to be able to reach a bowl, that collar is a bowl all it's own. simply poor the dogs food and water directly into the funnel.

also, that isn't actually an anti-scratching collar, it's really an experimental canine hearing enhancer. with that baby on, he/she can hear a bag of dog food being opened from 3 miles away!


(p.s., the story of this find is a good reminder to us all; make sure to delete any dirty pictures from your cell before selling it! cute puppy pictures however can only help sale)

lars in all my forms in the nwc?
the best part of this find is the finder's phrase, "low-res slice of life." i wish i'd written that.

Hmm..
My friend went as a martini for Halloween. She one the doggie collar thing, fashioned a stirrer and a giant olive, and it was very cute.

CuriousKat in anticipation halloween!
Hmm...thank you, thank you! You just gave me a great idea for a halloween costume. Just this morning I was saying I thought I'd be Lady Godiva but I'm think a Katini is maybe a better idea!

BTW the source of this Find is very amusing. It could almost go to that website that posts the pictures from lost (and found) cameras.

No lie about erasing pics from your phone before selling it. I can't even read the first 2 comments, b/c the screen is all messed up. Just put a cone on my head and call me a dog!

orinoco, I thought exactly the same thing kept wondering what the hell is in that (vase, large martini glass,?). Took another sip of coffee and ....oh, now I see.

CuriousKat, where is that website that posts pictures from cameras?

Love this find!

He is looking so expectantly at someone/something..waiting for a doggy treat?
I am guessing a chocolate lab.

I was so disappointed when the second-hand phone I purchased didn't have any photos on it!
they did a good job of cleaning it. At first I thought it was a puppy curled up in a vase, but now I see it. though i suppose, a puppytini...it could be like the worm in the bottom of the bottle of tequila.

I had to call my husband in from the other room to tell me what this picture was! And I've been up for hours....It's like one of those pics where you have to "unfocus" your eyes to see the hidden picture.

Sammy, I'd say it looks more like a flame-red Doberman, ears uncropped.

Thank goodness Europe banned cropping as of last April.

Oh god. When I first saw this picture I was convinced it was a close up picture of a martini glass with poo in it.

Someone pass that coffee...

Aliens from Canis Major have been signaling me. The collar improves the reception. They're coming to take me home!

Don't you recognize a Unarian when you see one? This dog is obviously one of them.

They show these Unarius programs on public access and they will blow your mind, man! Look them up on youtube.

It wasn't until I read the first comment that i was able to tell what it is a picture of. I was thinking it was a glass with twisted up laundry in it... i... i have no idea what i was thinking.
that is a bizarre collar though.

Oh, that is sad :(

we are experienc in g technical difficulties. Please stand by.
Well, is someone just out of camera range, taunting our little doggy friend with some sort of treat? Or is doggy sitting so rigid because of the damn collar?

Kitty boy recently was rendered kitty-IT (which is good. I've been calling him kittiot all along) and wouldn't stop gnawing at his no longer existing fuzzballs. So we got him a collar. NO WAY was he keeping that thing on. Hilarious watching him wrangle his way out of it twice, though. Not worth the effort to put it on a third time. (Kittiot.)

Reconsider in g Adam
I couldn't help but wonder if this Find's Finder has anything at all to do with yesterday's Depakote to-do list.

But Adam Mangels has a great ring to it don't you think?

@ MANDY- I was thinking the exact same thing!!! WHOA...I need another pair of contacts!

do they make clear collars? i thought this was a pic of a dog with a plastic bag over its head.
+ August 24, 2008 09:30 PM +
Nobody in during
Mandy - I thought the same thing and was very concerned. It took me about ten minutes to realize it was a dog. The title didn't help because then I thought maybe it was some strange mold growing in a martini glass...
