Suburban Vampire becoming Suburban Puppy Dogs


There comes a time in everyone's life when blogging about bloodsuckers and fangs becomes a little too icky, and we'd prefer to turn our thoughts to happier, cuddlier subjects...like puppies. That time has come for me. Therefore, starting tomorrow, Suburban Vampire will become Suburban Puppy Dogs. Instead of presenting Music Mondays featuring disturbing titles like "Taste of Blood" and "Cry Little Sister," I'll share clips of tunes such as "How Much Is That Doggy in the Window?" "Bingo," and that Christmas song with dogs barking along to "Jingle Bells." And my Upcoming Vampire Films segment of the blog will switch to Upcoming Doggy Movies That Make Us Laugh and Cry So Darn Much. There'll be no more need to discuss dark films of the future with twisted titles like Suck; I'll instead spotlight movies more along the lines of Beethoven's 19th. I'm also steering away from writing novels about seances and suburban vampires. All references to my book The Vampire's Wife will, therefore, be removed, and I'll be blogging about my much, much lighter work in progress, My Dog Is So Darn Cute (that's really my dog's picture attached to this post--isn't he so darn cute?!). I hope you'll be happy with the changes and continue to visit. Let's face it, doggy poop is gross, but not as gross as dreaming of strangers such as Robert Pattinson and Gerard Butler sucking on your neck.

One more note about the switch: April Fools.

Oh gosh Catherine, I just don't know.

I like dreaming of neck sucking and think vamps can be cuddly. I mean, I'm kinda' squishy. hee hee

One additional comment...I can understand how some people don't want a fork with their spoon. I just couldn't resist. Get it?

Don't worry, I don't really think that sensuous vampire neck sucking is grosser than dog poop. ;-) The only thing that wasn't an April Fools in that post was the fact that it really is a picture of my dog...but I'm not actually writing a book about how cute he is.

Something I was watching last week just used the fork and spoon joke. The Office, maybe?

Dracenea said...

Okay, first...I am the most gullible person ever!

Second, man I thought I came up with that joke! Darn it.

Catherine Karp (Suburban Vampire) said...

Did it really fool you? I only received one other response, and it was a friend who said it was too obvious. He he he.

Dracenea said...

Yeah, you really did fool me. I've become a very literal person and I'm not happy about it!

Catherine Karp (Suburban Vampire) said...

I'm usually the victim of April's Fools' jokes myself, so you've made my day by being fooled by me. :-)

Dracenea said...

Anything I can do to help!

I'll get you, my pretty! Muwahaha!
