I've never met a dalmatian who wasn't a bundle of nerves - I think it may be something about the breed.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had a roommate with a dalmatian once. Stupidest dogs evah...gah.
I hope it's a trick. Just because I'm not ready to share space with too much sentience
OMG, that was kind what I was thinking. I was creeped out by the implications of sentient elephants (and started feeling incredibly guilty about them)
I would like Allyson's dinner. Mine was edamame, with bacon salt on top.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Unfortunately, that's been my experience too. Which doesn't mean there's no way to zen her out a bit. Hopefully.

Oh yeah. Chloe is dumber than a box of hair. But sweet; just crazy nervous.

hip deep in pie
My cat Clio keeps staring at my postcard of Che Guevera. I think it's love.

Back when, people on pet boards recommended something called rescue remedy for anxious critters. I think you find it at health stores. I have no idea of the efficacy or dosage, as I've never used it on my two furry neuroses (Mister Kitty and Devi.)

Devi gets positively mesmerized by the call of the muezzine (I can't spell that or say it- muslim call to prayer) when it comes on the radio. It's funny.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad to see Allyson is taking such good care of herself tonight. That dinner sounds YUM.
We had one of our usuals: fish (tilapia) sauteed in butter and olive oil, leftover noodles for the kids, salad for me. And wine. Now fish and salad wait for DH, who seems to be stuck on the bus thanks to the some landslide on Sepulveda or something. (mudslide, not landslide. oops)
Isaac was a thorough and utter pill through dinner. Sigh. I want to tell myself he'll outgrow it, but I remember dinners with my brother and I am filled with FEAR. My poor mom.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I had a psycho cat they gave her kitty prozac and it worked like a charm, but I recall the vet saying that dogs weren't as responsive to it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
OK, I don't usually post in Natter and clicked on it by chance, and you're talking about pets! So I have to share this link. Labs for adoption: [link]
Broken now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Way back when I was pregnant with Annabel, I dreamed about a brown-haired daughter who wanted to be a chef when she grew up.
Every night now she insists on standing on a chair beside us as we cook and helping in any way she can. DH is better about this than I am--I tend to be task-oriented to a fault and constantly in a hurry to get to the next thing on the list, but I'm trying to get better. I know, I know, she's at the stage to like to help, and she probably won't be a chef. But it's still cute as can be.
