Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[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.
Everyone thinks they want a smart dog. No! No you don't!
After adopting a Brittany Spaniel from the pound at the tender age of 21, I have to agree. Awesome, loving dog, but wayyyyy too intelligent to belong to a couple that had to work 50+ hours/week to survive in the city. Poor Spencer. (My ex got him in the break-up, specifically because he was moving out to the suburbs and would have a yard.)
I want a pet goat. This will have to wait until I retire and live on a ranch, though.
Hee. The Biscuit is a ridiculously smart dog and it's totally an issue. But he's a good dog for us because we are home a lot or travel with him a lot and he has lots of stimulation and we do a lot of training with him.
Latest thing? We're teaching him to play piano. There's a bit during one of our band's songs that's just random notes on the keys. So we taught him "tap" touching our open palm with his nose. Then tap with a post-it note on our palm as the target. Then tap with the post-it on the keyboard. He can totally do it. We need to be more consistent with it, because our band leader wants to record him for his album. Hee.
I am so happy for the new Kaylee homecoming. The videos are so completely adorable and she is such a good puppy! I expect many stories. I am puppy-stories love carrots.
I did not yet see the Hammerheads, but it should be waiting for me on the Tivo when I get home. I am excited.
Emmett's godparents had a lot of trouble with a very bright, sweet bearded collie. Belle just got into too much trouble.
We're teaching him to play piano
That is awesome.
What breed of dog is Biscuit?
Sometime you must post video of Biscuit playing the piano! The world will be a sadder place if you don't.
Went Kayaking in the back bay this morning. It was chilly, but quite nice. We got out before the boaters were out causing lots of wakes. So I got minimal water logged. And, not fighting all those waves made for some nice paddling. So lots of birds, sand pipers, egrets and such. It was nice. And good seeing friends I haven't seen in a few years.

Oh Kate, I am so incredibly sorry. What a tragedy for you, Mark, and his family. My thoughts are with you.
That's dreadful, Kate. Strength to you, Mark and his family to deal with this.
Kate, so sorry to hear about the accident. I'm here in DC, so if there's anything I can do here, let me know (including putting people on my couch if they need to be here).
