I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Pretty much the same here. I have no idea why he is *so* worked up. He has currently smashed himself under one of my legs. Actually, my laptop is half on him. It's kind of funny.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Maybe he's still worked up from the party?

Awww, the pictures are so sweet, Suzi. They clean up nice!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It depends on the breed and the area you live in. Toto is between $40 and $50, depending on where I take him (in the city or out by my parents). Yes. I spend more on getting his hair cut than I spend on my own.

yup that would be more than I spend on my own hair too. But Pua's never had professional grooming before and I think she'd appreciate it. We're considering a place called The Studly Pooch. snerk.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm exhausted. I helped my dad sort through four boxes of old books today. Found some neat stuff -- a Hebrew primer from Germany from the late 1800s, a series of prayer books from the 1820s, the entire works of both Goethe and Heide, a few little German story books for kids from the 1920s, and a whole bunch of German novels from the 1930s. We're keeping most of the religious stuff and a few of the kids books with pretty pictures, selling most of the novels, and checking to see if the German Jewish museum wants the Hebrew primer and a few of the other things.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Heh, I walk out of the groomer's with Sammie (long haired cat) for $15 max, and that includes tip. Of course, this is rural mid-America, and she only gets a good brushin' and a trim around her hind end. The woman did say that her full service charge for a cat would be $30, including bath.

Ha. I like. I'd call and ask, though they'll probably only give you an estimate.

Wow, Hil!

Brandy is 35-50 depending on how much stuff we get done. I've been clipping her myself to keep her hair short for swimming but I take her from time to time to get the tougher stuff done.
