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.)
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There is an article about The DaVinci diet here. From the article: "20 percent protein, 52 percent carbohydrates and 28 percent fat."
ETA: It seems to have been written by someone who is trying to bring bread back into the American diet, in response to the low carb diets.

If anyone's interested in listening to the new Dixie Chicks album, it's available here. I'm listening to it now, and it's very good!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A couple of folks thought it would be fun to watch movies over lunch in the conf room these 2 days.
Like, taking 2-hour lunches, or just having movies on while they ate? If the second, I don't see the big whoop, but then, you've got to know your own boss.
POOR WORD CHOICE.
It was the emoticon and the LOL that were supposed to mitigate it.
