Reading bonny's puppy-selection guide made me have a thought. We save and memorialize our funniest moments in COMM(A) and in the BRQG. It's too bad we haven't been collecting our best advise, and using it to form a Buffistas' Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything. We'd have everything from household hints to food and drink to relationship advice to career stuff to pet care.

That is a fantastic idea, WindSparrow.

Five years ago today I arrived in Arizona driving a van, having driven 1,857 miles after putting in Stop Leak to plug a blown head gasket.

Project Bring Andi to Minnesota commenced.

Andi, what a great idea!

So I just got this email from Posey's foster mom:

Hi Kristin & Drew

I'm very sorry about your recent loss of Zoe. :( I know how hard it is as I just lost my 14 year old dog. If it wasn't for fostering, it would be so much harder. I'm glad to know that you are wanting to open your home to another lucky puppy!

Posey is such a perfect puppy. She is very close to being completely house trained. I haven't found any pee spots for several days now. She is in a family of 4 fosters and 3 resident dogs. She is well socialized to humans, dogs and cats.

Wednesday Posey is being spayed and microchipped. You are the only applicant sent my way specifically for Posey so far so I don't think you have to worry about someone visiting her sooner and adopting her. I can always call you if someone does qualify and wants to see Posey sooner than what you are able to. You seem like the perfect family for Posey! She is such a sweetheart. Not a spaz* at all, loves to cuddle, no bad habits, very, very sweet natured. :) Posey is actually a lot prettier than her pictures show her to be. New pictures were taken today and will be posted soon. Thank you for your interest.

• Note to our Britistas--I know this word is very offensive in England, but in the US it is considered a mild, almost cute and affectionate word, sort of like saying cutely hyper. I've been trying not to use it myself now that I know its origins (I truly had no idea), but please don't judge this foster mom for using it.

She's EVEN CUTER than the pictures?!?

I have an appointment at 11 on Saturday. I have a feeling I am going to be DOOMED like a doomed thing.

PUPPY!

Ahaha. Sorry. Flashing back to the BAD TIMES in B'crazy.

PUPPY! Oh, she's so cute.

Tell her not to put any more pics up!!!! We don't need to stinking competition!! Let the other peoples adopt one of the other doggies.

Ahem.

Oooh-kaaay, let's try that with better formatting, since it wouldn't let me edit.

Wow, I never wore any of that makeup, but reading the entire page made me sad. Divorce sucks.
