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.

My A-number-1 best blouse is J. Jill.

Okay, Casper scraped her knee and mr. flea went with her to get a bandaid. She came back outside holding a pantiliner, and said, "Mom, what's this pantiliner for?" Then she took off the backing and wrapped it around her knee on top of the bandaid. So now my kid has had periods explained to her, and is playing in the yard with a pantiliner stuck to her leg.

I just made a very undignified "ahahahahahaha SNORRRRFF" noise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yup, that definitely warrants barking.

Question: red or grey? I mean, for someone like me who doesn't step outside her shoe colour comfort zone often, but loves the shape. Red or grey?
