The Bachelor, Burger-Style
When one of my online pooch pals (you’re a doll, Dolly!) suggested that I host a fun little doggy dating game with me as the bait, I thought: online suitors? me in charge? let’s do it.
Here are the rules. Just send me at least one photo of yourself (preferably female, although sometimes I sniff boy butts too) along with your name, your breed (mutts enthusiastically admitted), a few details about your personality, and a couple of reasons why you think we’d be a good match. I’ll reveal all the semi-finalists in a future post and each week I’ll eliminate one (a la Tyra Banks “there are ten beautiful pups standing before me, but I only have nine bones in my paw”) until we get down to one lucky lady who officially gets to be my girl.
So whaddya say? Do you girls dream of waking up to a face like this…
…or this…
… or this?
Let the fun begin…
Update: After receiving a barrage of poochy glamour shots, I’m sorry to say that I’m no longer accepting entries. It’s already nearly impossible to whittle this cute group of four-leggers down to semi-finalists! It’s hard work being so dang popular.
First (slightly photoshopped picture) found here. Don’t I clean up nice?

Hi Burger! My name is Layla and I am a single, black and white Shih Tzu. I am 7 inches tall and weigh 9 lbs. I love long walks around the neighborhood and snuggling by the fire. Let me know if your interested and I’ll send you a pic ;)
Hey Layla, Vella, and Mocha,
Let’s do this thing! I’m excited that a few cute pooch glamour shots have already arrived in my inbox and I’m looking forward to feasting my eyes on you ladies as well. Life is good when you’re me.
haha man, too bad Gibson is a boy dog.. Could you possibly be looking for just doggy pal?
Hey Gibson,
I’ll also be doing a little regular feature called Burger’s Buddies so you’re definitely welcome to send along some funny photos for that. Can’t wait to virtually meet you dude.
Burger what about our cat, Duncan? Thats a pretty cool name you have to admit. He loves to play hide and scare (thats where he hides behind something and then jumps out at you and then runs away to hide again) :) and I promise he will be super sweet to you!
No way! I already know a cat named Duncan! He’s actually my dad’s cat since college and whenever we go to visit my grandma I am forced to share a house with him- but we avoid each other for the most part. Feel free to send along his photo for a possible Burger’s Buddy feature- although the wackier the pose/outfit/general theme of the photo, the more of a chance it’ll make me laugh and guarantee him a spot on the old blog…
I think u need a “Bromance” version of this. Burger in search of his new best friend!
Kyley,
The Bromance idea has me cracking up. I actually will be doing regular features called Burger’s Buddies where I’ll share wild and crazy photos of all my virtual pals (send ‘em in folks!) so that will ensure that there are some cute and funny photos of guys as well as girls up in this joint.
How sweet! I don’t have a dog yet but I will…as soon as hubby says it’s ok! Burger is soooo cute! Can’t wait to see what cutie he picks.
So no inter species? :). My cat Vixen is a pretty hot little number. Although there is the same little problem of her not caring much for dogs. Maybe they could be “Frenemies”. :)
Hey Vixen,
Hmm, this frenemies idea is intriguing. Maybe we should have a competition for that title as well in a little while…
Hi Burger! I just let my dog, Lola, e-mail you from my account. She’s very excited to hear what you think of her photos!
The ‘come hither’ squinty-eyed look in the bottom picture is one of my favorites as well. I’ll be sending in my picture for a cross-species buddy shout out soon. I’ll even let you have all the bugs in our yard if I can have the chipmunks in yours!
Hey Burger, Loving your new blog! But since I’m a guy I’ll pass on the romance. Under the Burgers Buddies category, How can I get my sometimes computer illiterate human to send you some cheesy photos of myself? I Love her but really, she needs to get on the ball, you know. LOL.
Oh, before I forget, whats that web site to update my avatar for posting? Right now I am using my humans picture and that just don’t fly.
Thanks Man
Hey Fenway,
Believe me, I totally know what you mean about humans being about as half as smart as us. Here’s where you can send your photos (just send them in an email as an attachment with your info in the body of the message): burger@hamburgershouse.com. And as for updating your avatar, here’s an old post my parents did about how to create them: http://www.younghouselove.com/2009/03/bloggy-bonuses/
Hi Burger! Jasmine just logged into my email account and sent of her bio to you! Hope you like her as much as I do!
-Lindsey and Jasmine
Thanks so much for all the submissions- you’re definitely a good looking group! I just officially ended the call for entries after nearly 100 purty pooches landed in my inbox. How will I choose?!
100? Burger, you lucky dog you… that’s hilarious! Not only could you guys be on HGTV but apparently Burger is so famous you could be on Animal Planet as well. Can’t wait to see everyone’s pets!
No worries, she snuck in at the nick of time. Now I just have to go back and sort through all the sweeties. Tough life.
oh no!! i am so sad i missed out on this :( piper would love to wake up next to that face!
Dearest Burger,
I am a beautiful mutt from Italy. I was looking forward to submitting my picture, but after hearing of your 100 entries my mum said not to get my hopes up. I am a shy, but lovable playful girl who misses her Italian boyfriends. If you are up for some fun and like cuddles shot me an email.
No worries Christina, we’ll definitely have to have a season two! Who knew the demand for little ol’ me would be so high?
Dear Burger
I hope I made the cutoff, I know I commented here before you said your mailbox was full but I just had to come back and double check.
EEEEKKKK! And did I mention, you have great taste?! I love Natural Balance too!
<3 Jasmine
No sweat Jasmine baby, you’re totally in the running. Man this whole choosing thing is hard work though…
Darn! I missed the cut off. Pixie will kill me. Can’t wait to see who you choose! (I hope there’s a season two!)
So sorry you’re not taking any more submissions. My friend’s crack-addled, redheaded, bi-polar miniature poodle Lucie would have been a great match.
Such a shame. She sounds like quite a catch. There will definitely be a season two so tell her to stop in again soon.
xo,
s
So cute and cuddly! Hmmmm . . . should Mocha join the silliness aka humiliation? Decisions, decisions!
