I vaguely remember statistics saying you are more likely to get bitten by a small yappity dog than a big woofity dog. Of course, the big woofity bite is more likely to be serious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

you are more likely to get bitten by a small yappity dog than a big woofity dog.

That makes sense, as the small yappity dogs are all insane.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Annabel Peapod - the not quite 8 lbs chihuahua - has been known to challenge very large dogs. Last year she got ripped up by a raccoon. Did she learn anything? only that she wants a piece of that raccoon.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Dog in question? A miniature dachshund.

Ozymandias will bark like an insane thing at people walking in front of our house, people walking in front of their own houses, people who look like they might be getting out of their cars, and people he can see walking in the distance. He'll grumble about it forever too after they are long gone, but if you ever actually got up close to him while he was barking his fool head off? He'd lick your hands and try to kiss you.

Oh my god. I am officially an Old Lady. I got a Chico's catalog in the mail today. My 65 year old boss shops at Chico's. Wah!

No no no, flea. Unless you REQUESTED the catalog, or plan to actually ORDER from it, it is clearly a Big Mistake. Not old.

I think it may be because I sometimes order from J. Jill. But that's different, right?

Yeah, my very stylish (and your age) old boss used to have some things from J Jill--normally I don't like their stuff and could never find anything the few times I went in, but she managed to go in there and find the one or two things that were really nice. So they do have some decent things.

I like J. Jill. Their stuff is really simple. And they do longs for their pants. Of course, a lot of their stuff has the embroidered hippie vibe, but their basics are great.
