Beagles
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Are apparently the new pit bull of NYC’s east end. I’ve seen a Beagle considerably more vicious than any dog I’ve ever seen. But she was probably just covering her embarrassment of having been bred to a Pug….

Want a better Interested Rate?
Monday, January 18th, 2010So I’m sitting at my desk this afternoon moving data around on a SAN when I get this robo-call asking if I’d like to lower my interest rate on my credit card. “If you’d like to lower your interest rate on your credit card account press 1 to talk to a representative”. Well who doesn’t [...]
The Tonight Show
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010I don’t know why I’m bothering with such a mundane topic. But it was quite obvious Leno didn’t want to move but NBC had a deal with Conan so the forced it. Now their shinanigans are backfiring on them as they try to have retain their talent and ratings too. I have never felt Conan [...]
RIP Spazy 1991-2010
Monday, January 11th, 2010Spazy was our first pet after the Missus and I married and got our house. A close friend found her under the hood of his truck where she’d crawled one cold night to stay warm and for some reason he thought we ought to have her. That was late winter in 1992 and she was [...]
Bye-Bye Scout
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010A woman was up visiting friends in our town and happened to see the ad in the paper for Scout while there. It was spur of the moment but since they were already right here they called at almost 10PM. Naturally my being eager to find the fellow a home I agreed to the late [...]
Sex Sells
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Or so goes the saying in Hollywood when they’re trying to justify their latest tricks. But a recent study shows that sex really doesn’t help box office receipts. What I find even more interesting is how do teens rebel against parents of the “sex, drugs, rock’n’roll” generation? By abstaining, staying married and saying no to [...]
Speaking of rawhides….
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Over the last few weeks we’ve noticed the girls getting all worked up and barking at something several times an evening. But there’s nothing going on…. I think I may finally have figured it out though, thanks to the game of musical rawhides currently underway in our living room…. Sophie is barking at the front [...]
Cocoa Effective in Lowering Blood Pressure
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009You can read the whole medical jargony thing if you like – but know the headline pretty well says it all….
Cheap Entertainment
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009There is nothing like 3 dogs and 3 different rawhides to make an evening of fine entertainment. It’s barely 7pm and already they’ve each “stolen” one from another on no less than 3 occasions. Each. I’ve also discovered there is a rawhide my girls can’t shred in 15 minutes flat… never thought I’d see that [...]
The (Temporary) Return
Monday, December 28th, 2009Look who showed back up… Scout’s recent adoptive family returned him to us on Sunday morning. I won’t go into why they brought him back other than to say they let him think he was pack leader and acted as such… Not that I wanted him back, I was getting used to only 2 dogs! [...]
