There's a Shepherd mix on the Puppy Bowl whom I think is my Platonial Ideal Cute Puppy, complete with head-tiltage and single ear floppage.

Speaking of sweet angelic creatures coming up to you out of the blue, I had a wonderful little moment in the laundry room last night. I was sitting, drinking a soda and waiting for the dryer to finish, when a neighbor came in to start her wash. Following behind her was a cutiehead little toddler with a "Happy Birthday!" mylar balloon tied to her wrist. I asked the mom if it was the girl's birthday, and she said it was going to be Sunday. It was obvious they were Hispanic, so I looked at the little girl and said, "Feliz Cumpleanos!", completely mangling the pronunciation, I'm sure. Her eyes just lit up and she running over to me and gave me this huuuuuge hug! She didn't leave me alone until they left the room, although she did try to steal my Diet Coke, too.
Yay--Kitty Halftime Show is coming up!
Any dog that barks is good for deterring burglers. When I was a kid our miniature schnauzer kept us safe while our next door neighbor was hit 3 times.
This is very true. In high school, I had a mutt that barely came up to my shin that thought it was a mastiff sized dog and barked accordingly when people came to the door. One day the mailman came to the door to deliver something when I happened to be home to open the door, and I thought he was going to hurt himself laughing when he saw what "the big scary barker from hell" actually looked like.
The day is insanely beautiful here in LA. A random 80+ degree day.
And since kettlebell didn't happen, my conscience demands I go to the gym. I will have to bribe myself with a big long soak in the jacuzzi.
Dude, the Kitty Halftime show isn't nearly as good as it was last year. I think last year they were all hopped up on goofballs catnip and so they were tearing around at mach 10 and pouncing on toys and each other. This one, they're just acting like....well, like *cats.* Kind of indifferent, with occasional curiosity/batting at a toy.
Good--they're finally bringing the featherstick! I remember last year had a Featherstick Cam that would show the kittens stalking the featherstick across the field.
They need kitty crack pads.
Actually, they need to release a herd of rats on the "field." THAT would liven things up!
Kitty crack pads for everyone!
