Here's a Very Special Tater Tot Friday as the Tot celebrated the July 14, 1789 beginning of the overthrow of the French monarchy known as Bastille Day this week with her best impression. In the photo above she is pretending to be a French Bulldog. And yes, she also ate cake. Oui oui!!
Tater Tot Friday Bonus Bulldog! Thanks to Tina for the tip on Tillman, the skating and surfboarding English Bulldog. Look, I don't know anything about any of these new dog reality television shows but apparently there is one called America's Top Dog and another called Greatest American Dog. Tillman is a contestant (?) trying to win something I think. Here is a link to an article about this pooch. I didn't read it. Full disclosure: Of course I love the Westminster Dog Show and even sometimes watch The Dog Whisperer but those are more programs about real dogs rather than dog fake/reality shows.
P.S. Guess who is One today? Happy First Birthday to little Buddha (not to be confused with Little Buddha, one of Keanu Reeves' worst acting performances ever). Whoa.
Buddha belongs to the Mystery Daughter, Melissa, where they currently reside together in New York City. Happy Birthday Boo!!
Look at bean rockin the moustache!

That photo makes a good argument for the saying that pets often look like their owners! LOL
I am really intrigued now (and have been following this ever since she started commmenting on your old blog)... do you really have a daughter? I'm so confused.

Is Buddha a puggle?
Tater Tot is always the best way to close out a busy week. :)

hello bean -
oui, quelle personnalité tater-tot a! you don't look half bad yourself (which, sadly, i can't say for most of your pics...). no typos in today's post. i've been away for the last few weeks and i just got caught up on your blog - i spotted a few typos, but i think it's a lil late in the game now... i very much enjoyed your post on the errors of blogging! i think that's half the reason i enjoy your blog so much - u rarely have grammatical errors.
one last thing, i'm hoping that u will consider my bostons for a guest spot on tater-tot friday. clearly, they're not bulldogs, but they do look like mini bulldogs. and u did have a pug (and his tongue) as a guest several months ago, so how 'bout my bostons? i can send u a pic if you're interested.
have a good weekend -

Great picture, Bean! :) I laughed out loud at work! I have seen Tillman on that doggie reality show you were talking about. That show is so bad it's good! Tillman is the mellowest of the bunch and the cutest. Of course not ever as cute as you and the Tot!

Love that picture, even if does put that Katie Perry song in my head.
Hey, the mystery daughter's pup looks like a puggle. Am I right?

Admit it, Bean - you got drunk and Donna drew that mustache on you. When it wouldn't come off you decided to go with it. Nice work.
Happy Bastille day, dude.

I tried to hate this, Bean.
I could not.
