I want to live in the Heelers’ house from Bluey. They’ve got:
A kitchen
A dining room (admittedly open plan which I hate, kitchens should be separable)
Bedrooms for the parents and the kids
A huge playroom with two sets of French doors onto the deck around the house
A sunroom
A family bathroom with a big claw foot tub and separate shower
A separate toilet
An en suite for the parents’ bedroom
A verandah (for Santa)
An upper level of deck with a barbecue, excellent for weekend day drinking if you are Chilli and Aunt Trixie
A study/office
A big living room
A hall and staircase big enough to play Raiders of the Lost Ark with a yoga ball
A sunroom
A great big fenced back garden with a brick pizza oven and a sandpit and a trampoline (and a fish pond if Chilli gets her way post-“Stumpfest”)
A huge tree (possibly a magnolia) with bench seats built around it and paper lanterns in the branches
Even if there is always lorikeet poo on the deck and there is no air conditioning so they just have to have fans everywhere in summer and Lucky’s dad’s palm tree fronds keep falling on the lawn, I WANT TO LIVE THERE

PE is death. Can’t run for shit. Anime Nerd. Bookworm. Loves earl grey tea. Can’t deal with social situations. So smart. Nihilistic AF. 
ENFJ (mom): Soooooooo many friends. Runs into someone she knows on a daily basis. PTA mom. Super caring. Passive aggressive AF when angry. Planning is crack for her. Struggles with logic. Loves animals. Is the type of person to smile at strangers. Also the type of person to flick you off if you cut her off while driving. 
ISTP (dad): Construction is life. Fixes things for fun. Used to own a motorcycle. Was in the navy. Has PTSD. Really friendly if you are a ‘compentent’ individual. Will punch you if not. ADHD. Really funny. Intimidating. He gets me (INTP) like no one else. Really cuddly and fun if he likes you.

ESTP (friend): So bubbly. Loves gossip. Really flirty. Shook everyone's hand on the first day of school. Struggles in school. Picks up a math concept fairly quickly once I explain it to her (and have her attention). Most likely to randomly compliment a person. The teacher doesn’t know why we are friends. We are practically polar opposites. She does all the talking for me.

Her eyes are bright and hopeful. Her tongue is a giant tootsie roll unraveling in the middle of an engaging smile. Her tail is non stop wagging. Bella is beautiful in her oreo dress, elegant and...goofy, jumping for hugs and kisses, running after a ball, being here and there in a matter of few nano seconds. She had a family, just yesterday, and misses the comfort and the warmth of a home. Tight arms around her, a lap and tender words take care of her worries.

Good Stuff: Kitty is (NOT) a Cat
WARNING: Remember to throw your fruit peels on the grass and gum on the asphalt. Thank you, take care out there, and enjoy.
Talk about an Animal House
Tumblr media
Kitty is NOT a cat. She’s not a cat, you guys. All who opposes is legit fake news, okay? This cartoon, again, was one I just said “eh, I keep seeing this around so, why not?” 22 minutes later, and I wanna see another episode. But why? Do I have the attention span of a cat? The impressionable attitude of a dog? The will of a catdog? I don’t know, but this cartoon is honestly charming and is from Australia, which I never noticed at first and it makes a first for me. Then again, I am more a cat person, so that bears one reason why.
Tumblr media
But fluffy, personal preferences aside
The premise is honestly simple, clean, yet confusing if you think too hard on it. A family of stray cats live together in an old abandoned mansion, and they’re living life. Making music and such, it’s like Catscratch (’member Catscratch?). Then a 6/yo girl in a catsuit, named Kitty, shows up on their doorstep. She doesn’t appear to have a home, nobody apparently wants her, and she doesn’t speak, only meows, purrs, and hisses (typical cat noises). The cats let her live with them to see if they can help behave more humanly, all the while growing accustomed to having this perky and lovable child as part of the family.
I can say one thing’s for sure, Kitty herself is a pretty likable character. She’s really dedicated to acting like a cat, in the same realm where cats walk and talk like housebroken humans, and it never feels like she’s doing this for a playground bet or the lulz. I’ll explain more on that later. While she can be imaginative and carefree, she is smart, respectful, and thoughtful toward her cat family. She fits right in as the one somewhat silent protagonist in the series.
Tumblr media
Wait, she likes pineapple on pizza? Ewww, boot her out
As for the cat family, can I say this honestly makes for a better loud house than the Loud House? While there’s a lot more in the household, can’t say I felt bored with their presence, especially when they’re working together and bouncing off each other, reminding me a lot of Top Cat, the most Mexican cartoon around. And it’s sincerely charming when they and kitty are mutually learning from one another when the hijinx dies down. Reminds me of something I never thought I’d see again.
Tumblr media
A story all have and should read
Where the Wild Things Are. Hated the Game. Loved the book. Loved the movie. Loved the book and movie, back to back. It’s a wonderful coming of age kid’s book about a young boy who transports himself to a faraway land filled with big creatures with varying features. Kitty is Not a Cat is almost identical to this in a way that makes it pretty personal to me and tender to those who watch it. Like Max from Wild Things, Kitty is indeed just a child who, at that age where people tell you “You can be anything” or “Of course you can be a Football Playing King in Space, with a mustache” and such, is enjoying her newfound life as a cat even when the show clearly states she’s not actually one. And as such, there will come a time where the fun will end and you will grow out of that furry costume. It’s not to say leave everything behind you, but take note that something should change. That is the charm of this show. It’s clear that Kitty is potentially gonna grow up and head out to be with the humans, god help them, but the fun comes in seeing her journey along with her respective cat kin. One thing Wild Thing’s movie did so well was that it wastes no time getting to the Wild Things’s island and we’re there for a majority of the film. It’s that meat to the sandwich that is worth eating, and the same applies to this show, regardless of how (un)predictable things may end up.
Tumblr media
To laugh, to love, to jam out. Now that is entertainment.
I will admit, the animation is pretty good. Its style is reminscient to the opening of Monsters Inc.(the coloring is great), it’s dynamic when it needs to, and yet will cut corners in some areas. Not Disney tier, but it works well enough. One thing that I felt was genuinely off-putting was the narrator, but I haven’t heard one since the Powerpuff Girls and luckily she doesn’t intrude too often unlike Pippa Peg. It’s all on Youtube in good quality, it’s gonna have 52 episodes. Go check it out if you can spare the time. Or don’t, you might be busy and all.
Tumblr media
I give Hello Kitty Friends a 4 out of 5. Just a solid mobile game. I’m Roy Macintosh, & that’s all I got.

Well, It's Time I started these 'Best of' Reviews for what Animated thing had Happened this Year, and Now I'm ready for it, and for me, I think that 2017 was a great Year for Cartoons on TV (and one on the Net), and here are my Reviews on why.
Ben 10(2016 series) – Although the Show was Made and Released in 2016 at other Foreign territories, It finally got a Release in the US in 2017. And some Folks might say that some reboots aren’t very too Bright (and I would agree on TTG and/or PPG 2016), But I find this to be a Nerve Calming excitement, some of the Character Designs/Re-Designing look Cute & Likable to Me. And the One Thing that gets me Fired up for this Series is that some Artists I know worked on this Program, like Mr. Ryan Krammer(Uncle Grandpa, & SpongeBob's 'Food Con Castaways' episode), Ms. Monica Ray(Harvey Beaks, Magic Children Doing Things) as Storyboard Artists & additional Writers& Mr. Colin Heck(Legend of Korra, Harvey Beaks) as Supervising Director. And It was Wonderful to hear Ms. Jessica DiCicco(Lynn & Lucy Loud) voicing a Different-looking FrightWig, who the Character was previously voiced by Cree Summer in the Original Series. But believe me, I remember seeing the Original Ben 10 series along with Alien Force, but didn’t quite go thru the Rest of the Series until the Reboot came. Even the Original villains of this Show look so Cute (except for Billy Billions), which that Cuteness also goes to the re-Designing of the other Villains from the Original ‘Ben 10’ series, and the More appearance I’ve ever seen from a Villain is Steam Smythe (voiced by Roger Craig Smith of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ & ‘Regular Show’).
Billy Dilley’s Super-Duper Subterranean Summer – Quite an Interesting Show, and I bet many people thought that the Program reminded them of ‘Uncle Grandpa’, so Keep in Mind, Most of the Artists & Writers who worked on this Series previously worked on ‘Spongebob Squarepants’ & ‘Uncle Grandpa’. Even the Show’s Creator Mr. Aaron Springer voicing Billy almost sounds like Paul Rugg of 'Freakazoid', 'Pig, Goat, Banana, Cricket', & 'Secret Mountain Fort Awesome'.
Samurai Jack(Season 5) - I truly Enjoyed watching 'Samurai Jack' when I was Young, this Program along with 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', 'Juniper Lee', & 'Chowder' are Probably the only Good Old Cartoon Network Programs that I give Full Circle to in my Childhood. After the "Jack and the Baby" episode, the show went into a Deep Cliffhanger, and I truly Sympathize the Great Hero Jack for it, But Twelve Years Later, a New Season had Finally cometh, with the Show's Original Creator Mr. Genndy Tartakovsky coming to Ex. Produced the series after some Great Work back at Sony Pictures Animation(Hotel Transylvania films, & that Popeye Test Footage). And Instead of the Program being a-little Lighthearted like the Past Seasons with just Slime, Oil & Robotic Guts, and Major Boo-boos, the New Season 5 now airing on Adult Swim has moved to a Darker Tone, which I like as much as 'Return to Oz', 'Over the Garden wall', & 'the Black Cauldron', with some major Blood, Profanity, and some Grown-Up jokes put into it. And it was a Surprised to see some Old Characters that I recognize to make some Cameos in that one episode(or few), such as the Woolies, Demongo, and the Ravers, the Robots and their Robo-Samurai, and the "Jump Good" Monkey man & his Tribe. And some Fresh New Voices came in by Surprise, such as Mr. Chris Parnell & Keegan Michael Key in some Episodes. And I was Lucky to film the Final Confrontation between Jack & Aku during the Premiere of the Series Finale for Instagram. And did I nearly weep during the Part that Now that Aku is Gone, Ashi will Never be Born in the Future(because of the Space Timing Continuum), and I got to say, Ashi was a Cute Character that I truly Sympathize because of her Dark Past & People Torturing her back then, and I like her Voice Actress, the Legendary Ms. Tara Strong (Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony, Ben 10, & Chowder). And even since Aku's Original voice actor Mr. Mako passed away back then, I say that Mr. Greg Baldwin really did a Good Job impersonating Mako voicing Aku, just like he did with Iroh of 'Avatar: the Last Airbender' & 'Legend of Korra', almost sounded like If Mako aged Puberty. I would say I'm Gonna Miss this Show, just like how I'll miss Chowder, Regular Show, and soon Uncle Grandpa.
Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Battle for Mewni /SvtFoE Season 3– To come Clear, I only watched the First Four Stories of that TV Movie Special, from “Return to Mewni” to “Marco and the King”, Because during the Further Episodes there was an Artist whose Career I clearly dislike, Tyler Chen of ‘Clarence’, ‘Fish Hooks’, ‘Pickle & Peanut’ & the Overrated Bravest Warriors minisode “drama Bug”, and that’s why I never made it to the Ending point, But I do read Perfectly that Star won the Battle against the Vile Toffee, and she got her Wand Redesigned. But what I can tell you that one of my Favorite Episodes from that so Far is “Moon the Undaunted”, and I gotta say that Eclipsa, Queen of Darkness is one of my Most Favorite Characters from the show so far. As for the Rest of Season 3 so Far, I’ve only watched Episodes that are NNOT directed by Chen, cuz remember when I said I don’t like his Career, but my Most Favorite Episodes out of Season 3 so Far is ‘Stranger Danger’, ‘Lint Catcher’, & ‘Trial by Squire’. Also, Despite having appeared in the 2016 episode "Page Turner", I like Hekapoo's appearance in the 2017 episode "Running with Scissors", which is One of my Most Favorite Episodes of Season 2.
The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos - I really Enjoyed this Half-Hour Special of ‘the Loud House’, the New Characters there seemed Likable/Lovable unlike the Unlikable/Hate-able ones in Royal Woods where some Folks aren’t that Disgusting as Hell(Funny Business, Cereal Offender), and It’s also a Good Episode where no Sister Siblings were Complete & Utter jerks(Sleuth or Consequences, a Novel Idea), Even what surprised me Completely is that this was the First Thing in a Kids’ Cartoon to showcase a person with Down-Syndrome, and believe me, I felt Really Disappointed on how they were Portrayed in Adult Cartoons, Mostly *COUGH*Family guy*COUGH*. But in a Kids Cartoon, they were Treated Properly with Good Respect. And the Character Rosa reminds me of Mrs. Claus/Mama from Rankin/Bass’ ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ for some Wacky Reason, “Eat, eat, EAT”. And I still Love the RonnieColn Fandom Completely, that one LH Episode “Back Out There” almost Ruined some Things, and that Led me to have Mixed to Negative Feelings for Lincoln’s Friends Clyde, Rusty, Liam, Zach. So I would say that ‘the Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos’ is a Fun-Filled Episode that I could watch Multiple Times, It’s got Cute & Funny moments, some Heart-Warming Drama, and some Great Entertainment when the Alley Cats run amuck in the Casagrande apartment.
OK K.O! Let’s be Heroes – This Show has become a Great New addition to the Grand CN, It was created by Mr. @ianjq, who was previous storyboard supervisor & storyboard revisionist of ‘Adventure Time’, Writer & Story Artist for ‘Secret Mountain Fort Awesome’, voice of Wallow of ‘Bravest Warriors’, & developer, co-executive producer, supervising director, storyline writer & storyboard artist for ‘Steven Universe’, and I really like him Voicing Rad & other Characters such as Darrell & Crinkly Wrinkly in the K.O. program. It was based off a short Pilot episode ‘Lakewood Plaza Turbo’ back in 2013, in that Great Year of Discoveries along with other pilots for ‘Steven Universe’, ‘Over the Garden Wall’,  & ‘Clarence’, and that was a Time when I was also Fascinated with Disney’s Nine old Men and their Work/Book ‘the Illusion of Life’, and watching that Awesome Documentary on Cartoon Network’s ‘Next Generation of Animation’, I will always accept New Cartoon Network shows like ‘Adventure Time’, ‘Regular Show’, ‘Uncle Grandpa’, ‘Over the Garden Wall’, ‘Steven Universe’, & ‘We Bare Bears’ into the Cartoon Society. But as for ‘OK K.O.’ , the seems pretty Wonderful, It has a Blend of 1970’s Obscure Anime looks into the Western Animation looks, and How they have some Classical Cartooning Principles(Funny Cartoon Noises, Jokes & Gags) into the Modern Day Greatness. Even some of the characters seemed likable, Mostly on either Lord Boxman(voiced by the Great Jim Cummings), some of the Villainess Characters that the Heroes might met(Professor Venomous, Cosma, & Mr. Cardsley), and even some of the Main Good Characters, especially the Ones I also Sympathize like K.O., Rad, Enid, Dendy, Carol, & Mr. Gar, and I gotta say that Character Crinkly Wrinkly is the Funniest character that I’ve ever seen. I think it was Good that I first get to watch the Series when It was On-Demand before it aired on actual TV, but I have yet to see it’s 2013 Pilot episode along with the Rests that Aired on 2013, But I do know that it had a Mobile Game back then (though I did not Download it or played it) and a Series of Shorts by other Animation Studios, but I haven’t watch them because I am Never a huge fan of SCIENCE SARU and I’m Not too certain about Studio Yotta. But I gotta say also, This Show is a Fanstastic Experience on the Grand CN, Filled with Precious Heart-Warming episodes with Good Life Lessons like How to handle your own Duties as an Employer or how Great your Boss can be (‘Legends of Mr. Gar’), or If you Try not to Spoil your life by being a Self-Proclaimed Selfish ‘Cool Kid’ like Brat, you should have a More Focused Future ahead of you, even without going to Jail (‘We’ve Got Pests’), and the Show had some Crazy Developments such as Enid & Rad used to being a Couple (‘Second First Date’), and Enid being a Witch and being in a Family of Halloween-Themed Characters (‘Parents Day’). Plus the shows got a Good crew, Like the Program's Supervising Director Toby Jones, who Previously worked on 'Regular Show', and one of the Show's Story folks Dave Tennant, previously does some Stories for Pete Browngardt Cartoons, Which I think makes it Better for Me.
Pickle Rick – Why not, It’s “PICKLE RIIIICK!!!!”, I thought I would pass on this, But eventually won my Heart, don’t ask why, but Things just happen like that.
The Summoning - I just Discovered this while browsing on the internet probably from Fan-Art on DA, and I watched it on Youtube, and I gotta say, this Cartoon is Really Cute, Funny, & Creepy at the same time. The Main Characters seemed Lovable, and I mean Claire & Edgar, the Bunny Character is hugely Funny in a way, Though I feel Terribly Bad for the characters accidentally eating some things like Eating some Dandruff from a Big Head Island which Claire thought it was Dirt, and Eating Poop which Edgar thought it was Chocolate. But to make Matters Better for the Cartoon, Celmation Hero Ms. Natasha Allegri(Bee & Puppycat, Fionna & Cake) worked on the short as Director, Story Artist, & Character Designer, WHAT A HERO!!! And the Animations/Celmation was done by Digital eMation inc., the Celmation Team behind ‘Ok K.O. Let’s be Heroes!’ & the Season 5 of ‘Samurai Jack’.
The Movies of 2017 & Probably some on Video Games should be made soon.

Geekade Top Ten: Rick and Morty!!!
There’s a circular sort of mindset about animation. The original thought was of it being tailored toward adults. Then, at some point, animation was accused of only being for kids. There’s a generation lost to the fact that Johnny Quest, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons were all originally prime time fare. When The Simpsons showed up in 1989, there were cries of it eating away the brains of youth (thanks Barbara Bush). Of course, after that we moved on to The Critic and Family Guy (and Duckman for a brief time), but there were also Animaniacs and Freakazoid and Batman: The Animated Series. Oh, and Gargoyles and Futurama.
Most recently, a show started up that is well written, with a sometimes loose improvisational feel, that is totally for adults. I told a friend that he should watch the show and his response was: “I’m not 14 anymore, cartoons are for kids.”
What he called a kids show, of course, is Rick and Morty; the brainchild of Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon (of Community and Monster House fame). It’s rapidly become one of my go-to pieces of television when I can’t find anything else to watch. It is one of the few series that I WILL buy the DVD/Blu-Ray set for because I support it that much. I love the show SO much that I've joined forces with my Apathetic Enthusiasm co-host Travis to start a Rick and Morty podcast called Interdimensional RSS, conveniently located over at ApatheticEnthusiasm.com! (Check out the inaugural episode here!)
For this month’s Top Ten, I wanted to rank my favorite Rick and Morty episodes (though I will watch them all 50 more times). Let's begin. 
#10. Pilot (Season 1) - This is what started it all! (Actually, that’s not entirely true… Doc and Marti is what originally started it, a more direct parody to Back to the Future… I digress). This is not usually the first episode I show people because it doesn’t properly set the tone for the rest of the series. Rick is way more manic and drunk and his burping is through the roof… but if you watch it again after getting into the series, it really is a funny episode. The audio commentary about Justin Roiland’s final lines is pretty interesting… in that he just kept talking.
Quote of the episode: I'm sorry, Morty. It's a bummer. In reality, you're as dumb as they come. But I needed those seeds real bad and I had to give 'em up just to get your parents off my back. So now we're gonna have to go get more. And then we're gonna go on even more adventures after that, Morty. And you're gonna keep your mouth shut about 'em, Morty. Because the world is full of idiots that don't understand what's important. And they'll tear us apart, Morty. But if you stick with me, I'm gonna accomplish great things, Morty. And you're gonna be a part of 'em. And together we're gonna run around, Morty, we're gonna do all kinds of wonderful things, Morty. Just you and me, Morty. The outside world is our enemy, Morty. We're the only friends we've got, Morty. It's just Rick and Morty. Rrrick and Morty and their adventures, Morty. Rick and Morty, forever and forever, a hundred years Rick and Morty, s... things. Me and Rick and Morty runnin' around and Rick and Morty time. Aaall day long forever. All, a hundred days Rick and Morty forever a hundred times. Over and over Rick and Morty adventures dot com W W W dot Rick and Morty dot com W W W Rick and Morty adventures all hundred years. Every minute Rick and Morty dot com W W W hundred times Rick and Morty dot com.
#9. A Rickle in Time (Season 2) - A great season 2 opener. This one leads off at the tail end of Ricksy Business. Time has been stopped for 6 months and in order for things to catch up, they can’t make contact with anyone who was frozen in time. This creates the foundation of a spectacular 64 panel animation of uncertainty. It’s a trip to watch.
Quote of the episode: Man, that guy is the Redgren Grumbholdt of pretending to know what’s going on.
#8. Meseeks and Destroy (Season 1) - Ooooh weeee! When Kris asked me if I was doing a Top 10 this month, I said, “Caaaaannn do!” This episode is a fan favorite, primarily because of the lovable Meseeks. The Meseeks exist and cease to exist just as soon as their singular purpose is fulfilled but they can’t seem to help the incompetent patriarch of the Smith family improve his golf game. There’s also a side story about Morty running the adventure, and a creepy Mr. Jelly Bean.
Quote of the episode: Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the violation of Civil Liberties
#7. Look Who’s Purging Now (Season 2) - Sometimes you don’t realize how many times you’ve actually seen a story recycled until someone points it out. In this episode, Rick and Morty stop onto a planet that purges: the society is crimeless because one night a year everyone gets to fulfill their destructive urges. It does a great job of making fun of that concept and even gives us a glimpse of Rick not being able to stomach THAT much violence.
Quote of the episode: Morty, are you alright? Why are YOU with Taddy Mason?”
#6. Ricksy Business (Season 1) - Rick, Morty and his sister Summer throw a party at the house while the parents, Jerry and Beth, head out to a Titanic tourist attraction. It’s another great episode that introduces some unique and hilarious characters. This is the first time we meet Birdperson and the wonderful Abradolf Lincler.
Quote of the episode: Prepare to be emancipated from your own inferior genes!
#5. Something Ricked This Way Comes (Season 1) - Those of you who know me know that I love Anthologies. I do a podcast about The Twilight Zone, and I wrote a Geekade Halloween article about Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow. When a certain Mr. Needful comes into the town and pulls the Needful Things plot out, Rick steps in to use SCIENCE against all of the hokey twists of all of the items. It’s the episode I recommended to my wife when I first started watching (because she got called out by the creator of Booth at the End for criticizing him). There’s another subplot about Pluto, the highlight being Rich Fulcher, but that’s not where this episode shines.
Quote of the episode: Looks like we've got... haunted boxing gloves that will make you the heavyweight champion in 1936, and then you'll be trapped there, winning the same fight for eternity. I can take out the "eternity" and the padding, and then you'll have some time-traveling mittens.
#4. Total Rickall (Season 2) - God… one of the great things Rick and Morty does is to build episodes off a cool concept. In this one, *someone* brought a parasite that replicates by feeding off of people’s memories. Realizing this, Rick locks everyone in the house. Through the course of the episode, hundreds of new characters, most of them parasites, infest the Smith household. Pencilvester, Photography Raptor, and Sleepy Gary all make an appearance. This episode also introduces us to a fan favorite, Mr. Poopy Butthole (also a star of his own comic series by Sarah Graley).
Quote of the episode: He told me to tell you he’s sorry you didn’t have bad memories of him?
#3. Rixty Minutes (Season 1) - This is my go-to “you have to watch this show” episode of Rick and Morty, although I’m starting to know better. This episode is really the one where, after people start to understand the tone and humor associated with Rick and Morty, things really get kicked into 12th gear. It’s more of an excuse to do improvisational sketch animation comedy than it is to have a good episode, with Rick installing an interdimensional cable box with shows from infinite realities. Two Brothers, Gazorpazorpfield, and Ants in My Eyes Johnson are some of the highlights. It, realistically, is MY #1, but there are better episodes for people just hopping on board.
Quote of the Episode: Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody’s gonna die. Come watch TV.
#2. Anatomy Park (Season 1) - As a fan of Inner Space, the Dennis Quaid/Martin Short comedy, this is a wonderful episode. Rick takes Morty into the body of a homeless man where Rick has set up a theme park, complete with rides, attractions, and a Jurassic Park style break down. Quote of the episode: Do yourself a favor and pop by Pirates of the Pancreas. Obviously I’m biased, but I think it’s great, Morty. It’s a bunch of *belches* pirates running around a *belches* pancreas. We don’t whitewash it, either, Morty. I mean, the pirates are really rapey.
#1. Lawnmower Dog (Season 1) - There’s so much to love in this episode. A dog that becomes intelligent and takes over the human race? An Inception-style storyline that takes us all the way to a Nightmare on Elm Street parody? It’s solid gold. One of the great things about this one is that the A and B stories actually come back together (which is something that, as much as I love the show, it doesn’t always do effectively).
Quote of the episode: Where are my testicles, Summer?
And there it is! What are your favorite episodes of the show? I love every one of them, but I only had 10 spots! Let me know in the comments, hit me up on our Twitter @RickandMortyPod or shoot us an email: [email protected]

Quick Way To Remove Cat Urine Mind Blowing Diy Ideas

Great Dane
This popular gentle giant will eat you out of house and home but repay you with endless loyalty and love.

The enormous Great Dane is affectionate and gentle. They can be an excellent family companion for older kids, but require a significant financial outlay and a firm hand. Great Danes age quickly, usually only living to only 8 years of age. They can be mischievous when puppies, but transition into a quieter, calm stage as they mature.
WHAT DOES THE GREAT DANE WANT IN THEIR PERFECT LIFE PARTNER/FAMILY?
I love family life, attention and long regular walks. I’m looking for an active family, but one that is happy to also spend some quality loafing around time with me at home. I don’t need a lot of space and can happily live in a small home so long as I have a nice big bed to stretch out on and call my own.
AT A GLANCE
Lifespan 6-8 years Weight 45-55 kg Height (at shoulder) 71-76 cm
  PERSONALITY
Affectionate – Great Danes love absolutely everyone and thrive in a family where they get lots of attention. They love cuddles, brushing and play and need to be with another dog or their family rather than being left alone for long periods.
Gentle – the gentle Great Dane loves to cuddle up on the couch and be with the family. They are lovable, sweet and kind and despite their enormous size they would never (deliberately) hurt a fly.
EXERCISE & TRAINING
Exercise Requirements Medium – 0.5-1.0 hours per day Training Requirements High – 1-2 hours per day Apartment Friendly? No
  Great Danes are big gentle giants, but as with all dogs they need to be well socialised when they are puppies (under 12 weeks of age) to ensure they are confident. A nervous, poorly socialised dog can easily become a fear-biter so caution should be taken to make sure they are socialised and trained early.
While Great Danes are big dogs, they can also be lazy and do not require hours of exercise daily. They do need a good hour-long walk every day and significant training to ensure their large size does not get the better of their owners. Teaching a Great Dane how to walk on the leash is essential, as they will otherwise win that tug-of-war!
There are many cities in the world where Great Danes are kept in apartments and certainly this is possible. Make sure you have plenty of space, not too many ornaments for that long tail to knock over and plenty of time for exercise.
GROOMING
Trips to the Groomer No- easy care at home Tick Friendly? Yes Hypoallergenic No Brushing Low – Little to no brushing required Hair fall Moderate Shed- will drop some hair, but not excessive Coat Type Short
  Great Danes are fairly low maintenance in the grooming department. They have a short, easy to maintain coat and while they do shed, they don’t tend to do so excessively. They can be difficult to bathe and certainly don’t need a bath or much in the way of grooming.
FAMILY SITUATION
Good With Kids Good – okay with older kids, but maybe not those under 5. Good With Other Small Pets Medium – Ok with other pets, supervision advised. Sociability Medium – Can live alone or with others.
  Great Danes are extremely loyal, gentle and loveable dogs. They can easily bowl over younger children unintentionally, so are better suited to families with teenage children. They also require consistent training and strict ground rules to ensure they don’t over step boundaries. Although they were originally bred as hunting dogs, they don’t have a strong prey drive, but should be supervised around smaller pets just in case.
Great Danes love to spend time with their families, so are not suited to long periods of solitude, particularly when puppies. They can often become destructive if bored, so will require lots of play, training and mental stimulation to keep them occupied.
EXPENSES
Overall Expenses (Annual) High $2000+ Veterinary Expenses (Annual) High – $300-$500+ Food Expenses (Weekly) High (large and giant) – $20-$30+
  Owning a Great Dane, you will need a significantly large budget and pet insurance. They are prone to a number of health conditions and age quickly, so often require frequent visits to the vet. A Great Dane will also need good quality food and lots of it to keep him healthy.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
MAJOR HEALTH CONCERNS
Orthopedic diseases- Great Danes are prone to hip dysplasia, hypertrophic osteodystrophy, panosteitis and osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD). Selective breeding has meant hip dysplasia is rare, but the other bone disorders are more difficult to prevent. Avoiding overfeeding and overexercising when growing is essential for a Great Dane.
Bloat and Gastric Volvulus– Large deep-chested breeds like the Great Dane are prone to bloat, which is where the stomach rapidly expands with gas and fluid. Bloat can often then lead to torsion or twisting of the stomach, which is rapidly fatal if not treated immediately.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy – DCM leads to heart failure in middle aged (3-7 years) to older dogs and is more common in large breeds.
PREVENTATIVE CARE & WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
Avoid feeding too much, overexercising and do not supplement with calcium in growing dogs due to risk of orthopaedic defects like hip dysplasia or OCD.
To reduce the risk of bloat, Great Danes should be fed two smaller meals rather than one big meal and they should not be allowed to exercise within an hour of feeding. Also ask your vet about prophylactic gastropexy (a simple specialist surgery involving tacking the stomach in its correct position) when your pet is desexed to reduce the risk of bloat.
Ask your vet to check your dog’s hips regularly for hip dysplasia and make sure the parents of your pup were hip scored by the breeder.
Ask your breeder whether they have undertaken any screening for heart disease in their breeding dogs, this should ideally be done every 2 years, as DCM is thought to be an inherited condition and one that develops with age, rather than being born with it.
Also ask your vet to regularly check your dog’s heart and let you know what signs to look out for, such as increasing respiratory rate, exercise intolerance and coughing.
BREED ORIGIN AND INTERESTING FACTS
Great Danes were originally German hunting dogs, bred for their speed and strength as early as the 18th Century. They were used to hunt bear and wild boar and were originally a mix of Greyhounds, Mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds.
The Guinness Book of World Records has had a number of Great Danes holding the record for the largest dog, the tallest was Giant George, who was 99cm high at the shoulders and made appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010. He was reported to sleep on a double bed at home and loved to ride around his neighbourhood in Tucson Arizona on a golf cart.
The most famous cartoon Great Dane was the lovable goofball Scooby Doo who was drawn by Iwao Takamoto, inspired by his friend who described to him the perfect pedigree dog. The chicken-hearted Scooby Doo character was central to the mystery-solving group of Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma, which was televised from 1969 by Hanna-Barbera Productions and has inspired many spin-offs.
RESCUE A GREAT DAN
Petfinder lists all types of dogs who need homes, both purebred and mixed breeds, adults and puppies.
Great Dane Rescue has Great Danes across most of the US needing new homes.
Great Dane Club of America also coordinates fostering and rescue of Danes US-wide.
The ASPCA often has Great Danes for adoption, just do an advanced search on their adoption page.
