FRANKENWEENIE

It's no secret that Tim Burton loves dogs (and Johnny Depp and black and white stripes and Helena Bonham Carter). He almost always has them in his films. Spot in PeeWee's BIg Adventure, Zero in the N.B.C, the dog that kills the couple in Beetleguese, the dog salon in Edward Scissorhands...he likes them trust me.
Here is one of his first films. A short he did for Disney called "Frankenweenie". The story of a boy who's best buddy gets hit by a car and he brings him back to life.

Lost Loves

our old corner in taipei, across from the buddist temple and the army base.

Photobucket


sometimes i miss taiwan....i miss the palm trees and i miss walking in the jungle.

Photobucket

Photobucket
we adopted our dog mayble in taiwan...she was rescued by some nice buddist ladies in the countryside, and we snatched her up off the street where they were trying to give her away...don't laugh....not to eat...it is ILLEGAL to eat dog meat there FYI.

Photobucket

i wonder if she misses her friends?

Photobucket

this is her boyfriend...he, like lots of the dogs there, ran around the streets and did what he pleased. he lived on the army base with some other dogs, but would join us when he saw us walking in the old abandoned amusement park with mayble...we named him "buddy".

Photobucket

buddy was a typical taiwan "go" (dog in chinese), and if we could've...we would've kept him! but buddy was lucky on the army base, because they took good care of him, even though they let him run wild, he had dog friends and food to eat.

Photobucket

he and mayble loved each other. we loved him too.

Photobucket

miss you buddy! :)

DOG vs. SHARK

So my friend Vaden grew up in Jamaica, and is terrified of my dog mayble. He once told me the reason being that in his hometown he used to see the starving street dogs go into the ocean and drag sharks onto the beach to suffocate them. This made him fearful of all other dogs, and ours especially because i guess she looks like a street dog.

Well guess what, she is.
