Have you ever had one of those neck whip-lashing encounters on the street? Walking along, minding your own business — and boom, your head spins around like an outtake from The Exorcist (the original film and not the remake).
What just happened? A celebrity encounter! Or was it? Usually, not, of course. But, but, but...I could have sworn that was (fill in the celebrity look-a-like here). It looked just like him/her/them/whoever. As a society, we are somewhat obsessed with celebrity. Of course, that we at DKOS are all much too inured to pop culture than succumb to celebrity gazing. Or gaping. Wait, wait, is that…could it be…. Joe BIden? Michele!!!???? Bo and Sunny? OK, guilty as charged. Most of us have our own personal famous icon wish list.
Well, it happens in the animal kingdom as well. Encounters with A-listers. Or even D-listers. Or, in reality, just their look-a-likes. Here are some recent near-celebrity encounters from the intertubes. Some are amazing doppelgangers. Some a little silly. Enjoy.
But first a brief word from our sponsor along with the basic rules: This an open thread for animal lovers and anyone else who needs a smile, a lift after a hard day, or just to touch base with the community. The PWB Peeps diaries provide a respite from the news, so no pie fights from the outer blog allowed.
- Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Goggies are dogs, too, and moggies are cats. Birds...are birds! Peeps are people. PWB Peeps are Pooties, Woozle, Birds People.
- No trolling the diary.
- Share any and all pootie/woozle photos or issues that you would like.
- If you have health/behavior issues with your pootie or woozle, feel free to bring it to the community. We just may have someone whose experience can help.
- NO PIE FIGHTS. Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, spiders, creepy crawlies (as some folks have serious phobias).
- There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- It should not need to be said, but ANY/ALL photos that imply or encourage human violence against an animal will be considered verboten! Whether it is “comedic” or not.
P. S. Just a reminder of the new PWB Peeps guidelines: A Commmunity Lynx header is always welcome in comments here, however it is now a place limited to links not full lists. I encourage you to post links to the full Community Needs List, to Community Fundraisers for PWB Peeps, or to any DK diary that is supportive of PWB Peeps members. Links to other DK diaries or to outside sources that you believe will be of interest to pet owners and the PWB Peeps members generally are also welcome. Lists of financial needs or individual pleas for financial support are no longer allowed in the comments.
Now, on to walkies the blog!

And my own personal quirky favorite: Tabbytha’s Salon Take Over and as usual she isn’t at all happy about what she sees — “Give me your keys; I’m taking over.”
Are you confused yet? Having an identity crisis?
This is an open thread, so all topics pet related welcome. Bring us up to date on how you and/or your critters are doing. Or share anything else we might find amusing or interesting. And be kind to each other. : )
