So, I have a 50-lb Australian Shepherd mix. He was rescued from living under someone's hosue (the someone was threatening to board up under her house while the puppies were there. Some people.) and when he was a wee pup he liked to sleep under the bed. Once he made 6 months or so, he didn't really fit. He'd sleep with just his head under teh bed, or he'd lie down under the coffee table. That was about 3 years ago.

Monday night we had a thunderstorm. He's afraid of thunder. He somehow managed to squirm under the bed, where he slept peacefully. Until mornng, when he couldn't get out without DH lifting the edge of the bed for him.

When i got home from work yesterday, he'd gotten himself stuck under the bed again. I don't know why. And last night when we went to bed, he tried to crawl under the bed again, but could only get halfway.

You know, I really did think I had a point when I started this.

Heh. We've had three cars since '97, all of them Civics. Any car we have purchased has been a Civic (all previous cars were family cars, for both of us).

Proud owner of a '96 Civic DX HB myself. Electric blue - her name's Illyria.

Apparently, I shold have said "kiwifruit" or "Chinese gooseberries". [link]

Though now I'm wondering just how large Jesse's desk drawer is.

My favorite kind of dog, so no point needed, really.

Hee! Are you going to name your car, Lyra?

Yeah, it's called Ruby (red car, what can I say?). It's a '99, but it's only had one owner and it seems like s/he took good care of it. This is the first time I've ever had a car that was mainly mine -- I only learned to drive for real about a year ago, and we managed with one car until I started this job. Plus, because it's a little older, we managed to save a couple thousand.

It sounds like your Saturn is very spiffy. I love purple cars.

EDIT: This conversation compelled me to go out to the parking lot and look at my car. It is, in fact, a Honda Civic EX, not a DX. It is still shiny and red.

Hey, maybe that was my point. I can pretend.

It's true, I have a guy from New Zealand in my drawer. He's very wee.

Dear msbelle and others who can always use more cowbell: You can get Marlon Brando's cowbells for like $100. Word. I might have to make a trip to Christie's to check out the Brando stuff.

Is that a euphemism that I'm not getting?

Yeah, but you've got it down in an unfairly endearing way.

Being all pointy-headed 'come see the logical fallacy inherent in the system!' is endearing? I did not know that.

Is that a euphemism that I'm not getting?

Man, I wish! No. Wait. The other thing.

No, it's actual cowbells for sale. Formerly owned by Brando.
