Inner doggie dialog, take 2: "It's you! Oh, wait, where are you? You're gone! Oh, noes! This is all I have left of you! Well, and those others over there. Oh, I love you I love you I love you!" chew chew chew nom nom nom "Oh, you're back! My mighty chewing brought you back! Yay! See how much I love you?"
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Be careful leaving shoes around when you leave. Because they smell so much like their person, an anxious dog will chew one up in a search and rescue mission.
I suppose the smell thing was behind Mr Peabody's early fascination with removing and chewing my shoes' insoles. He's gotten over that, although occasionally he will move around shoes just to screw with me.
I read about the importance of consistency and gave Mr Peabody three dog biscuits and said "I'll be back" every time I left. Now all I have to do is open the dog biscuit jar and he hops on the bed to wait for his cookies. I shut him in the bedroom side of the house, so I don't have to wrestle with an escape attempt. Now if only he would come when called and stop going for the ankles of visitors.

and stop going for the ankles of visitors.
He didn't bite us. Just some suspicious barking. And he let me pet him a lot in the morning.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The Biscuit never did chew shoes. But once, when we first got him, he did transport a pair of my Docs to the exact middle of the living room once.

He just...moved them? That's pretty funny.
I did not find any more money on the dog beds when I came home today. Perhaps they are withholding their gratuity in the hopes of better service.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
maybe if you move all their doggy stuff, they will tip you $20, buy you lunch, and give you ice cream.

Oooh, I like that plan! Because they don't have much stuff to be moved.

Mr Peabody has a bit of the interior decorator in him. He moves the pillow in and out of his bed; rearranges blankets and small rugs; and redistributes shoes.

The status is NOT quo.
Sorry to bounce in and be giddy, but I just got the rest of the pictures from the Hawaii wedding, and they are AMAZING! So happy! I also got the confirmation and schedule for Monday's interview, which is happy making.
In not-so-giddy news, we also got two massive tax bills in the mail that I'm really hoping are mistakes. Apparently California has started sending out bills to small business owners (especially sole proprietors like Drew) claiming they never filed their taxes, even when they did, in an attempt to get people to pay twice. It happened to our friend Cricket the past two years, so I'm not too worried yet. But...it's a massive estimated bill. Like five-digits scary. So mistake~ma would be good there.
