That's a whole lot of dog. I'm hopelessly biased on the big dog side, and she's marvellous.

Just watched some of Tim Gunn's style show. Why do I do that? Fashion reality TV always leaves me dissatisfied with the state of my closet. I know my big problem is that I have too much shit that looks kinda the same. I don't need TV to tell me that.

She's actually not as huge as that picture makes her look. She's about 60 lbs, so mid-sized-big, not BIG.

Of course, my standards are skewed, since I spend a lot of time around a St. Bernard... To me a big dog pretty much has to be over 100 lbs.

Beautiful dog, and I can't imagine what whoever named her Blondie was thinking.

Ah, Suela, she's gorgeous. May you have many happy romps together. Seabiscuit is that size. It's a good size.

Suela - Congratulations!

Magda or Miss Dashwood are equally good names.

She is beautiful and "blondie" doesn't fit her at all. What were those people thinking?

What a gorgeous doggie! And with a lovely, soulful gaze.

Consuela, I'd be VERY tempted to name her Debbie Harry, just 'cause. She looks like she's going to be a great companion animal!

Currently I am killing time in Programming class, because the other students are being introduced to SQL, whereas I've been elaborating the queries much more than the instructor is asking for.

It's 90 out, so at least this place has AC.

Hmm. Have all y'all heard of lock bumping? (Watch the embedded video on that page.) I've never heard of it before, but it's a bit unnerving.

I'm wondering how effective this really is to prevent it.

Any lock, anywhere, is more or less like a guideline saying 'don't go in here'. Also, you can pretty much bumplock by using standard lockpicking tools and 'raking' the tumblers with them, or so I've been told.

As opposed to being a *physical* barrier?
