That's exciting, lisah! I just found out my cousin's pregnant, which is also exciting, if not so local to me. So of course I got all excited walking through Target yesterday seeing all the awesome cuteness to be bought.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Birthday, Nutty and Spidra!
Sumi, thanks for the puppy link! So cute! One of the things I really love about GSDs is their satellite-dish ears. Magda's are a very good cue for how she's feeling, especially when we're out walking in the scary neighborhood, where there might be cats and dogs and other terrifying things!
(Yes, she's a wuss. We're working on that.)
David, I've always rather liked All the Lies that are My Life, which was what Harlan Ellison claimed he would title his autobiography. I am fond of Getting Used to Gunfire, which is the title of an X-Files story I wrote once. I just like the alliteration and the images it conjures up. (It's pulled from that Talking Heads song "Life During Wartime", naturally.)

Happy Birthday, Nutty! Happy Birthday, Spidra!
All the Buffista babies are, as usual, killing me ded with the cute.
Lisah, congrats! How much fun to have a local niece!
ETA: Suela, have you thought about enrolling her in some kind of training or socialization class? In time, that really helped one of my girls calm down about the big, scary world.

lisah, that's so cool!
If there were comics, hopefully the neighbors I give the paper to at least find them. Too late for me.
Time to grocery shop.

lisah - what excellent news! Congratulations on future local niece!
Suela - GSD's do have lovely ears. And I agree that a class would be good and doing something like agilty might give her overall more confidence about stuff.

Happy Birthdays!
Nilly, thanks so much for the card!
lisah, congratulations on the impending aunt-hood!
Kat, I can make no promises, but my now-11-year-old niece in Culver City, but I doubt she'll want her American Girl dolls forever and I can tell my sister I know someone who would want them. It's a pretty good collection, although most of the books she has are in Spanish.

Oh, yeah, there's a beginner obedience class that starts on Sep 20, so we'll be doing that. If she likes it, I may try her in some agility, which looks like great fun.

Seriously!!! Also, my younger brother & his wife are expecting a boy at the end of December. It's Harbin Babypalooza!!!

I was just listening to this the other night! It's one of my favorites of all time.
