Summer is Here

Happy First Day of Summer!

Pupalump has big plans to roll around in the grass every day. We hope you get lots of free time to roll around, too!

It's finally here! We forgot to post it here :P

We were so excited to post it to YouTube we forgot about the blog. Even though this is "Pet Pointers #98" it's our first one. We plan to do them out of order for some reason ;)

The first of the new Wudjadoo series will introduce Pupalump (pictured).

We're excited to be working on a planned series tentatively titled, Dog Tips & Tricks (on successfully managing your person and getting the most out of their behavior). We'll work on shortening the subtitle, and probably come up with something more catchy for the title, but you get the idea.

We already have several scripts planned, with lots more to come. Once we have out titles and opening worked out we'll have a recognizable series we hope dog owners will enjoy. A Cat series is also forthcoming, but we haven't gotten as far.

It's going to take a little time to get the first one out, but we hope to present follow-ups on a fairly regular basis. Please enjoy an early still from the first episode (#98, if that's not too confusing). It's the newest Wudjadoo character. She's Pupalump — inspired by own own dog, Kara. Needless to say, many of the episodes will be based on experiences with her. Muse dog.

We have a dog. Her name is Kara. We adopted her from Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn, NY a few years ago. Kara does something we call the "helicopter tail" where she wags her tail in a circular motion. She does this when she's extremely happy. She usually reserves this motion for when she is interacting with her people, but this weekend we were visiting family, and she found little lizards (not scientific - they were probably some kind of salamanders) in the garden. She spun her tail so fast, I swear she blew them all away! The little Godzillas didn't have a chance.

Possession is Nine Tenths of the Claw — This was our second animation. We introduced the adorable little purple kitty, Violet to our (as of yet) small group of pets having "accidents" in the house. You can expect to see Violet getting into all kinds of trouble. She's a kitten, after all. Don't get mad. Get cuddly.

Since you're here, you may already know our first videos are being hosted by the Squaredy Cats YouTube Channel. Check them out as a thanks until we get our own channel up and running.

I Peed The Fifth — Our very first animation. It took about two days. We learned a lot putting it together, and we're hoping we'll continue to learn. As of now this puppy has no name. We're open to suggestions :)

And thank our friends, Squaredy Cats for hosting our first videos by liking the Squaredy Cats Facebook Page too.

And Then There Were Zero. This was our third animation — the first introducing the character A. Bunny. We made it for Easter, but it's weird enough to be enjoyed any time…except at 3:17 PM on Wednesdays. You don't even want to know what happens if you view it then.

We're practicing with these animations because we have plans for ongoing series that we just know that you, as a pet owner will really love.

We'll be introducing new and recurring characters, and we really want to know which ones you like, so, please comment :)

We wanted to start our own YouTube channel so we can share the videos we've made and all the videos we plan to make. Right now our videos are hosted on our Squaredy Cats channel (run by Monkey Doodle Dandy). It turns out Google currently requires multiple Google accounts to administrate multiple YouTube channels. Since we like to keep it simple our videos will continue to be hosted on the Squaredy Cats channel until this policy changes. We'll still link our videos here, and hopefully soon we can stop mooching off Squaredy Cats' channel. Eventually when we can start our own channel, and link directly from there to here. Meanwhile, you should still check them out. Like our Wudjadoo Facebook Page, and Like the Squaredy Cats Facebook Page. While you're at it, take a look at the people who put it all together at the Monkey Doodle Dandy Facebook Page.

We hope you enjoy our videos and posts.
