The More Things Change...

I ran into one of those very gregarious people at o’dark-thirty this morning while I was walking Dog. He was walking a black and white dog that looking like a pit/boxer/lab mix.

The dogs made a beeline for each other and were all sniffs and wagging tails in a matter of seconds.

“What kind of dog is that?” the inevitable question.

“Dog’s a Lab.”

“He’s a beast.”

“Yes, he is.”

As we were walking away, I heard him tell his dog, “Achilles, if you do your push ups, you can look like him, too.” :o)


I went poking through my old emails looking for something for a friend and came across this one. It’s from 2006, and I’m blown away at how little I’ve changed.

Why would a dog need to pushups? Can dogs even do pushups?

I'm going to be up all night with that one...

Oh come on, Irish, that was a good one! I'd like to see this dog though, I love a big bruiser lab.

I just did one of those emails and it's always funny what we come up with.

my favorite kids book is where the wild things are too! I collect children's books and movies. I always tell Pookie they are hers for as long as she wants them, but she's never allowed to give them away or sell them. They have to be returned to me ;)
