The NY Times Magazine has a nice article this week (a bit overwrought in the writing style, to my taste, but interesting) about training dogs to be service dogs for kids. They mostly use golden retrievers. Those really are pretty dogs.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a sweet face, Shir!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What a pretty dog! What's his name?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
What's his name?
Shooky. That's the name the pet rescue center gave him.
I call him "cat" (in Hebrew: hatul). Or asking him "who's a pretty cat?". And then he looks at me like I'm a very stupid person, but it's OK. I prefer cats, he has a silly name, I taunt him, he looks down on me. It's a vicious circle.

Our wings are not tired.

Shir, he's so cute!

I had a friend whose dog had an "official" name (Hannah, or a similar girl's name), but the whole family nicknamed her "Bird." It always made me laugh, because I would ask them, "Doesn't she think you're dumb humans, calling her a bird when she's a dog?"

Hey, omnis, did you get my sound designer e-mail? I realize now I sent it your UCI address, not your profile address.

Sadly, it's off to bed time now for me.
And damn, there's still stuff I have to send Buffistas that I never got to after mom's hospitalization (and my reaction to it, which will be told in another post, in another time). I'm sorry for slacking so bad, people.
Night, bestest e-community ever. I'll give Shooky hatul an extra hug and rub for 'ya.
