Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

"childless" was just a poor word choice

Well, you're the writer.

Introducing the new member of my extended family, my sister's new puppy, Kasey. At 10 weeks, she's already pretty big, she may turn out to be massive.

Wow, big dog! Is she a golden lab mix?

Nope, she's a purebred Golden Retriever. My sister's other dog's father is from the same breeder and is also very big. (And wide, but that's a whole other thing.)

I remember when my brother's first Malamute was about that age--he was big, too (and had the cutest big paws to go with his size!!). I first saw the two he has now when they were about six-seven weeks old and still able to fit under the bottom shelf in the basement, where they loved to sleep. Big balls of fluff!

Of course, now, their "fluff" is shedding like mad and is coming off in clumps--Chase, especially, has the tendency to drop all of his undercoat at once. Dakota's comes off over the course of a month of so, so it isn't so messy to pet him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Completely random punctuation question:

When using phrases like "I wonder..." etc., should the sentence end with a question mark?

Like, say, "I wonder what happened to my wombat?" There is a question there, but it is a question the writer is asking himself, not the reader. (eta: the writer is making a statement that he is wondering about something.) But then leaving the question mark off seems strange to me. OK, after thinking about it, they both seem strange to me. A quick Google seems to show both usages....

What is the rule? (I wonder.)

Ok, so... there's a Da Vinci Diet? I don't have a link, my friend texted me to tell me it's destroyed her faith in humanity.

I've heard that too, but also did not see a link.

Da Vinci Diet

Hmm - body of Christ, blood of Christ?

t Edit

Or maybe they are talking about a ren era Italian diet? That seems to involve really elaborate cooking, including gilding and milk of almonds and such.
