Just Some Stuff
Drew told Lean that Cupcake died, he just blurted it out. She cried a little and asked a million questions. The most popular question (asked at least 20-30 times) was "How do you know he was dead, he never moves, he's always in a coma?" I even started doubting myself, how did I know for sure? Oh right his body part flew off.

I have utterly and abominably failed my job as canine correctional officer. A few weeks ago Penny began jumping over the fence again, she didn't care if she got shocked. I accidentally checked to see if the collar worked, it definitely did. She became a canine masochist flinging herself over the fence all the while being shocked.
At first she would come home for visits and to be fed. Polka is, of course, devastated. We bought Penny to be a companion for him after all.
This last week she stopped coming home even to be fed. She visited for one hour and that was it.
Yesterday we drove around the neighborhood and saw her in some one's yard . We called her, she stood up and ran into their garage to escape us. WTF? Drew called them and the people said she lives there all the time, but they don't feed her. She plays with their dogs during the day. They take their dogs in at night but she still sleeps in their yard. They tried to put her in their fence, of course that didn't work. We offered to let them keep her, they don't want her but she won't leave their yard and jumps in their backyard to play with their dogs.
Anyway they are trying to find someone on a farm that needs a good dog. Maybe it will work out.

We went to Health Camp (little irony there for ya) for burgers and I finally got to say, "I can has cheez burger?" Everyone just stared at me, whatever people don't you ever go on line?

Drew told me he has seen the goat hair but never noticed the stache. Love is blind to all but errant chin growth.

Fish in the Freezer
My geriatric fish, Cupcake, died a few days ago. I found him one night right before bed. I didn't tell Lean because I didn't want it to upset her before bed. I didn't tell her the next day because I didn't want to upset her before school. The next day I didn't want to upset her before a baseball game, then I didn't want to upset her before ballet...on and on.
I couldn't just flush him because we flushed the last fish and it didn't go over very well. I promised her she could bury Cupcake when he died. For the past year everyday has looked like his last so I've tried to prepare her. He's in a near constant comatose state and we have thought he was dead many times, vigorous shaking of his bowl usually brought him around. When I shook the bowl this time a body part flew off. Uh Oh. I did the only thing I could think of to keep him fresh until I can break the news to Lean. I gently wrapped him in foil and placed him in the freezer. But, well she has baseball practice tonight, a ballgame on Saturday, a birthday party on Sunday, Monday she has ballet again......
I hope I've told her before her junior prom comes around.

RIP Cupcake April 2005- April 2008

Happy Earth Day

To celebrate Earth Day here's a trivia question extolling the evils of disposable products.
What was the first consumer product designed to be disposable?????
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Especially for you bacon lovers (NCS, MILLIE & others) How many degrees separate us from the tragedy of global warming? Listen to Kevin Bacon’s Call for Climate found here.
You have to scroll down, what do I look like a computer genius? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical. While you're there check out how others are promoting their Call for Climate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
here are a few things I will be doing for my part
1.I will not shower today to promote awareness of clean water shortage
2.I will wear my favorite green rayon polo
3.I will carry my ATC card of Father Al around with me all day long
4.I will not eat any beans or other green house gas causing foods.
5.I will only use my credit card to cut down on tree product consumption
6.I will not try out any of my makeup products on my dogs.
Of course these are all lame, here's what I'll really be doing
I will wrap my naked body in saran wrap simulating water fowl trapped in the plastic rings that hold sodas. I will flop around pitifully blinding all in my path, probably even end up on The Today Show.
If you don't want to see this happen please call your Washington representatives (Kevin Bacon has the number)
