Yes! When we’re ff’ing through commercials, one of us will often yell “Stop! Was there a dachshund in that commerical?” And we’ll rewind to check it out. ---

LOL, I thought you might respond to that one! ETA: When watching Westminster this year, we saw they mentioned that dachshunds had moved up three places in the top 10 most popular dog breeds (from 9th to 6th). Maybe this means there will be more dachshund commercials. 🐕 🌭 ---

I love the pet commercials. My favorite at the moment is the dog not wanting his teeth brushed so he buries all the tooth brushes. A terrier type dog, sooooo cute! It’s a Greenies commercial, I think. I don’t, Do Not, enjoy the sad dogs freezing in outdoor pens with no food or water. Humane society ad, I guess. Ugh. Those hurt my heart. ---

That’s why I love the older Subaru commercials. Usually dogs driving or being driven. Recently there have been animal rescue commercials featuring people saying “I knew from the moment I saw you that were were meant to be together”, pull back and they’re in an animal shelter looking at a dog. ---

I’ve complained in the past about the Fresh Pet dog food, where someone expresses shock/dismay/disgust at finding _pet food_ in someone’s fridge, and is subsequently thrown out of the pet owner’s house for the crime of disrespecting their pet. However, the new one had me laughing.

That’s adorable. Also, I think people get thrown out for being rude, not disrespecting the owner’s pet. Disrespecting one’s pet will get you a swift kick in the plums 😉 ---

There’s a [Ketel One vodka commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpjfSmAnyOU) that I like. A guy’s sitting in a bar and he catches a blow dart that was aimed at him. What I like about it is that it _appears_ to be a practical effect, rather than computer-generated. I assume they did it the way I would to it: The dart is obviously palmed, and the dart flying toward the actor was actually blown _behind_ him. If I’m right that it was a practical effect, then I like it. (I also like imagining the first person is saying ‘hopping cosmopolitan’ instead of ‘hot pink cosmopolitan’.) ---
