The return!

I’m back!  We spent the weekend at Ben’s parents’ place on Howe Island.  The dogs had a great time, we ate and drank a lot, went on a long boat ride and got totally burned to a crisp.  (Seriously, I think I’m going to get wrinkles about ten years earlier than I would otherwise.)
Madeline got [...]

A quick morning Gus…

I don’t have time right now to produce any interesting content, but I ran across this unbelievable picture from when Gus was a puppy:
My brother-in-law just joined Facebook and posted this to his profile.
OK, better content coming later…just wanted to share this for now…

Obligatory cute dog video post

I happened to have batteries in the camera during one of Gus’ rare bursts of energy.

Continuing yesterday’s query, would the cover art HAVE to involve me wearing hotpants?  I fear it would damage my chances of getting a distributor, at least in Canada.

Extensions of the meme: What Gus needs?

I found my own “Kristin needs…” exercise so hilarious I decided to extend it to the dogs.  Here’s what Gus needs:
Gus needs…
1. …to be tied to limit his interaction with the Christmas Tree
2. …to get a plan
3. …to leave the show
4. …to get a girlfriend
5. …help again!
6. …a skin graft.
7. [...]

Madeline and Gus learn a new trick: The video

As promised, here is a video representation of Madeline and Gus’ new trick.  Madeline actually kind of flubs her second try.  I should have edited that one out, but I don’t have any video editing software.

Yeah, I know I have headphones in my ears and that’s lame.  My Ipod appears to [...]

Tour blog update: Cute puppy picture

That’s right, I put it right in the title so you’re forewarned.  Here’s Ella, Gordon and David’s lovely little puppy with the broken leg:

I love how her cast says “Under repair”.
On a completely different note, my post about accidentally eating bugs (Very disgusting: DO NOT CLICK) is one of the most popular and most viewed.  Tell [...]

Tour blog #2: When the EEE lets you down

I considered buying an Ipod Touch instead.  The EEE seemed more flexible and like a better deal.  But…
a) it lost its ability to read memory cards at some point this week, and
b) it lost the ability to sign onto WordPress.  Seriously.  Every time I tried to sign in I got a weird error message.  I [...]

Cute puppies: Part 2

So yesterday I introduced you to Madeline, the Beagle/Basset Hound.  (Also known as a “Bagel Hound”.) For more than a year and a half Madeline was the only dog in the house, getting all the attention and stealing all the food that could be stolen.  But in July of 2007, I was looking on [...]

Another happy day

I had a dream last night that I was offered a part in an opera that paid $50,000 (!).  Then I got fired at the first rehearsal for looking too masculine (the part had some kind of cross-dressing angle) and I hung around, hoping my replacement would literally break her legs and they’d have to [...]
